We've waited a long time for this!

Lauren Conrad showed off her brand new fashion collection, LC Lauren Conrad, at New York Fashion Week yesterday. 

And it was pretty much everything we could have wished for and more!

Just think soft and fluffy fabrics, pastel lace and Grecian princess vibes. 

For all The Hills fans, we believe that this was where LC was leading to throughout the show (but then all the super annoying Speidi dramz happened which ruined it all for Lauren). 

A few famous friends including Ashley Tisdale and Chrissy Teigen also gathered with the former reality star to wish her luck on the big day. 

We're delighted that Lauren is finally where she wants to be after all these years but we can't decide what outfit is our favourite!

Can we just have them all?!

Former reality TV star turned lifestyle guru Lauren Conrad has taken some time out from her busy (and Instagram worthy) schedule to be on the cover of this month’s Cosmopolitan magazine.

In her interview with the glossy, Lauren is sharing some of her thoughts on her former co-stars, boyfriends and what it means to actually be a ‘basic’ person.

Last year the designer, author and social media queen was branded ‘basic’ by Allure magazine. But that doesn’t seem to be stopping Lauren, or her career.  

She admits that she is “probably pretty basic,” but that she’s a pretty happy person, so she’s ok with the label. We reckon if we were as successful as Lauren, we would be pretty happy too.

Speaking about Heidi Montag’s latest revelation that she has forgiven Lauren for “trying to ruin her life”, Lauren revealed that she doesn’t have any time for “that” anymore.

“I don't think it has anything to do with me. You just have to focus on the good people in your life. Focusing on what you lose is only going to make you sad,” the 29-year old Laguna Beach native says.

She also notes that former flame Brody Jenner has “a lot of experience” for her new sex and dating advice TV series. So it seems that she wasn’t all that surprised when she heard the news. Clearly she and Brody aren’t in touch all that much these days as Lauren explained how she found out about Brody’s latest venture.

“My husband told me about it. I didn’t know! He has a lot of experience … depending on what kind of advice you want."

Talking about getting her break on reality TV, Lauren says that without Laguna Beach or The Hills, “I definitely wouldn’t be in the position I am in now.”

She explained that being on The Hills and all the scandal that came with it also caused her to develop a thick skin “really quickly.”

Life just got a lot busier for Lauren Conrad.

The 29-year-old former reality star took to Instagram this week to reveal she'll be Fashion Week bound come September. Lauren's newest LC Lauren Conrad collection will debut at New York Fashion week on September 9th, with all items available to purchase online directly after the show.

Posting a picture of herself wearing a flowing white gown from the new line, Lauren wrote, "I am so excited to announce that I’ll be debuting a new @LCLaurenConrad collection at #NYFW on September 9! We have been hard at work for months and I am so excited to finally be able to tell everyone! #LCRunway."

The pieces on show at NYFW are all inspired by fantasy and wonderland, which is fitting considering that Lauren's previous two collections were based around Cinderella and Minnie Mouse themes.

This time around, expect lots of pastels, lace, tulle and florals. If you're keen to get a first look but can't quite make it to New York, panic not as the full show will be streamed live on LCRunway.com on the day.

It might be NYFW, but the LC line is very budget-friendly indeed, as is to be expected given that it's all designed and sold in partnership with US department store chain Kohl's. Prices for the Fashion Week collection will range from around €15 to €200… not bad for a runway look.

Lauren has been working with Kohl's since 2009, and the low-key line has been far more commercially successful than her high end range, The Lauren Conrad Collection, which flopped in 2008 after just two years.

We'll be looking out for Lauren's new husband William Tell and bestie Lo Bosworth and sitting proudly in the front row on September 9th…

For anyone who finished reading Pippa Middleton’s book and is feeling a lack of party planning guidance in their lives, we have the perfect solution.

Lauren Conrad announced, on Instagram with what we speculate was the ‘Rise’ filter, that she’s writing a party-planning book.

A lover of all things cute, floral and rose-hued, Lauren’s news was confirmed by Us Weekly.

 

So much pretty on set! So excited to start shooting for my new party planning book!! #LCcelebrate

They added that the book will "include tips on just about everything party-related, including food, themes, decor, venues, DIY tricks, seating arrangements, invitations, and more." 

We are envisioning lots and lots of home-made flower crowns and bedazzled mason jars to store our most precious items.

Lauren’s social media accounts and her website are beloved by her many fans. She is probably the go-to person if you’re in need of a sweet bohemian hairstyle tutorial. Seriously, if you have visited the 'primp' section of her site, you haven't lived yet.

However, this logical next step for the Queen Of Pinterest herself Lauren could have accidently gotten on the wrong side of none other than the powerful Middleton family.

If you remember correctly, Pippa’s book was titled: Celebrate: A Year Of Festivities For Families And Friends.

Lauren’s guide is called Celebrate! Well now, we feel like this could possibly be cause for some shade throwing speculation.

Probably not, but nonetheless, we are interested to see if the royal-in law will respond to the announcement at all. We could imagine Ms Middleton would be just a touch put out if Lauren’s guide was a hit.

Considering Pippa’s book faced some heavy criticism it would be frustrating if the American version was a best-seller.

Honestly though Pip, a step-by-step guide to making cups of tea WAS a bit much.

Earlier this month, Brody Jenner shocked fans of The Hills when he revealed that much of his relationship with Lauren Conrad was fake for the purposes of the MTV reality show.

Now the 31-year-old has given us some more insights into just how fickle the whole set-up was, when he revealed that he and Lauren really were just friends off set. "A lot of that show was scripted. A lot was improv," he told Yahoo! Style this week.

Describing LC as nothing more romantic than a "dear friend," the reality star said it was funny to have to pretend to be attracted to her during filming.

"It was pretty funny to have to live that reality…We were just friends," he said. "We’d film a scene of us kissing or being in this lovey-dovey scene, and then right after it would be like, 'Cut,' and we’d be like, 'Great to see you,' and we’d go our separate ways."

Was it really all for show? This GIF begs to differ:

During his time on the show, Brody was also linked to Lauren's pals Jen Bunney, Audrina Patridge and later Kristin Cavallari. However he now says those relationships were fakes, having been over-dramatised for the cameras.

"I didn’t have sex with Jen Bunney," he said. "I didn’t hook up with Audrina [Patridge]. I didn’t hook up with any of these girls. And then you get all these people saying, 'Oh, Brody’s a male wh**e. He sleeps with all these girls,' when in actuality I didn’t do that."

As for his other co-stars, Brody said that Spencer Pratt in particular loved the "fake" element of the show and played up to it often. "The crazy thing about Spencer is that he manifested his own destiny," Brody explained.

"'He said, 'I want to be the biggest villain in the whole world. I want people to hate me.; He scripted out all those moments on The Hills. He creates all that drama, but then it actually caught up to him."

A little sister is on the way! Congrats are in order for Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler who revealed yesterday that their third child will be a baby girl. The couple already have two sons together, one-year-old Jaxon Wyatt and three-year-old Camden Jack.

As with her pregnancy announcement back in May, Kristin announced her happy news via her official smartphone app, rather than on social media.

Posting a black-and-white picture of herself hugging Jay while holding an adorable pair of pink baby Converse, the former reality star wrote, "Our new addition! The boys are so excited to have a little sister on the way!!!"

Kristin's original pregnancy reveal was equally as sweet, with the mum-of-two sharing a snap of her holding her hands over her tiny bump as Jaxon and Camden sat behind her in a red wagon:

"We’re at it again!" she wrote at the time. "Thrilled to announce baby number 3 is on the way! The cutler crew just keeps on growin'!"

Kristin and Jay first starting seeing each other in 2010, and got engaged in spring 2011. After a three month break-up, the couple got back together in November 2011 and welcomed little Camden a year later.

The blonde beauty rose to fame when she appeared on MTV's Laguna Beach back in 2004 along with her high school classmates Lauren Conrad, Lo Bosworth and Stephen Colletti. In 2009 she replaced Lauren as the lead character in the show's spin-off series, The Hills, which ran until 2010.

We can't wait to see the first pictures of her new arrival!

Here at SHEmazing! we love hearing about women embracing a truly positive outlook when it comes to health and fitness.

Gone are the days when the media's idea of "healthy" meant catwalk-skinny legs and concave stomachs. Today, more and more women are choosing strong over skinny, both in our own circles of friends and in the world of celebrities.

That's why we were delighted to see entrepreneur and reality star Lauren Conrad taking the time to speak out against "body shaming terms" in the media and to ensure such terms were not used as part of her own business.

The former Hills star's lifestyle site, LaurenConrad.com, has millions of followers, and from this week on, the site's editors have set down a few new rules.

In a letter posted on the site yesterday, Lauren wrote, "When we’ve talked about getting in shape in the past, words like 'skinny,' 'slim,' and 'thin' have often come up. Starting this month, we’ll be banning any body shaming terms from the site, and replacing them with words like 'fit' 'toned,' and 'healthy.'"

Lauren says the decision came after a number of discussions with her team about what attitude the site was promoting to readers.

My editorial team and I had a long talk about it, and we want to make sure that the focus is on being fit as opposed to a number on the scale. Every body is created differently—and healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes," she wrote.

We're loving Lauren's decision to speak out and take action – it's something others can learn from for sure.

Fans of The Hills, prepare to get excited!

One of the show's biggest stars, Kristin Cavallari, took to social media today to reveal that she is pregnant with her third child.

In a very business-savvy move, Kristin teased the news on Twitter and Instagram, directing readers to her official app for more information. 

"We’re at it again!" she wrote on the app under the heading Big News. Kristin said she was "thrilled" with the news, adding, "The Cutler crew just keeps on growin’!” 

Kristin and her husband Jay Cutler married in 2013, and have two children together, two-year-old Camden and one-year-old Jaxon. Alongside the happy news, Kristin shared a picture of herself holding her hands over her stomach in a heart shape as her two young sons sit behind her in a red wagon.

Adorable!

Kristin first rose to fame when she appeared on MTV's Laguna Beach back in 2004 along with her high school classmates Lauren Conrad, Lo Bosworth and Stephen Colletti. In 2009 she replaced Lauren as the lead character in the show's spin-off series, The Hills, which ran until 2010.

Congrats Kristin and Jay – we bet that is going to be one gorgeous baby!

You’ve found yourself in a very awkward position – you cannot stand your best friend’s boyfriend.

So, where do you go from here? Or where can you go?

Here are some things to do when you find yourself hating on your BFF’s new boy.

Is it really him?
You need to figure out if you really don’t like him, or you just don’t like the idea of him. It may seem petty to be jealous but a guy on the scene will mean you see your friend less, so it’s understandable. Just be aware that this is your issue – not his. It’s up to you (and your friend!) to make sure your friendship stays strong.

Make the effort
It can be easy to dismiss someone at the smallest thing. If he said something stupid, or did something he shouldn’t have, try to understand he may have been nervous about meeting the BFF and this isn’t how he normally is. Give him another chance.

Time to talk?
So, you did all that and he’s still a jerk? Oh no… It’s time to get serious. It’s really important to remember that how your BFF sees her boyfriend is NOT how you see him. She’s in love – he’s an Adonis. Try asking her about the relationship; how it’s going, how she feels about him, that kind of thing. If she asks you what you think, voice your concern but in no way make her feel as if she needs to make a choice between you and her boyfriend. Think lines like: “I feel he’s a little rude, but maybe I just haven’t gotten to know him ENOUGH yet” rather than “he’s a rude so-and-so, I hate him”. See the difference?

Lauren Conrad didn't…

Make a plan
If you just can’t stand him but your friend is in love, we’re sorry but you may just have to deal. However, ensure you and your BFF have lots of quality time together alone, thus cutting down on time with her other half. Don’t make it too obvious though…!

Concern
If you are ever in doubt for your friend’s safety when it comes to her relationship, it’s time to speak up, and loudly. Check out the website 2in2u.ie on what you can do to protect your friend.

Fans of The Hills will remember LC and Heidi's notoriously dramatic bust-up during the show's third season – and it looks like it's not quite over yet.

Although the details were never officially revealed at the time, the bitterness between the former best friends was thought to have stemmed from a rumour fabricated by Heidi that Lauren and her then-boyfriend Jason Wahler, had made a sex tape. 

Things ended with a tearful drunken fight between the two outside of an LA nightclub, and although Lauren did attend Heidi's wedding to Spencer in season five, the pair have never patched things up.

Now though, Heidi appears to be trying to forgive herself for the past – and it's not painting her in a very good light at all.

The 28-year-old and her husband Spencer Pratt are apparently trying to work out their relationship problems on a new show called Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, but it seems Heidi is using the show as a platform to get the last word in her dealings with Lauren.

In a newly released clip, Heidi is seen addressing a stand-in as if she is talking directly to her former pal, telling her, "I was the best friend you’ve ever had.”

She then continues by listing Lauren's many faults, saying, "I forgive you for being so insecure in your life and so frustrated for everything that you went through that you felt like you had to blame it on me because that was easier. I forgive you for trying to ruin my life.”

Heidi, honestly… WHAT ON EARTH.

We wonder if Lauren has seen this?!

Let’s be real here – Lauren Conrad was the stand-out star of The Hills. If we weren’t crying mascara tears over her troubled relationships, we were taking style inspiration from her.

You can understand our excitement then, at the revelation that the fashion mogul is returning to our screens.

Yes, it’s true, and we are totally emotional right now.

The 28-year-old will feature in a special documentary for E!’s Pop Innovators series, and we will be getting a sneak peek into her life as a wife and successful fashion entrepreneur.

The show will not only be featuring Lauren, but also her family, friends (fingers crossed for lovely Lo) and the fine fashionable folk of Teen Vogue.

Lauren’s post-The Hills story will be aired on Friday, December 19th on E!

We wonder if Spencer Pratt will be tuning into to have a snoop into the life of his mortal enemy?!

Before Made In Chelsea, Geordie Shore and TOWIE, we had to look a bit further across the water for our reality TV fix. 

Any Noughties teen will fondly remember the heady days of Laguna Beach, the MTV show that gave us Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari and stellar quotes such as "I trust you as far as I can throw you, and I don’t even think I can lift you."

Would LC and Stephen make things work? Would Kristin steal him away forever? So much SCANDAL!

That's why we were delighted to see that the cast of the iconic show were all happy and well at a recent ten year reunion for Laguna Beach High School. Lauren and Lo were the selfie queens of the evening of course, sharing this cute snap with the caption, "Um, we invented Post-Its. #LBHS10YearReunion."

Very Romy and Michelle!

Although Stephen Colletti was nowhere to be seen (boo), he did pop up in another throwback snap recently with former co-stars Dieter Schmitz and Trey Phillips. The trio were reunited as groomsmen for the wedding of their pal Ben Singer back in September:
