You gotta give it up to the girls of one of my fave hit TV shows, "The Hills", on Mtv. The series is over already, after I think, 6 seasons...2 of which Lauren Conrad aka LC, from "Laguna Beach," retired. This post is not dedicated to show, I can talk about that another time. I've seen every episode probably more than once. You know Mtv, they re-run things to death. So luckily I was hooked this reality series that was really based on LC, & her new life in LA as an intern at Teen Vogue. So of course, her friends on the show became stars as well. Very fast actually. Everyone wanted a piece of them. They looked good, they were themselves...there was a lot of drama. So yeah, it was a hit. But anyway, during the show, most of these girls became famous so quickly that they wanted to make a brand for themselves and quick. So all of them went the designer route. We all knew LC was on that path, considering that was what the show was "based" on, although social lives were more the focus. I'll come back to LC's designs in a minute.
Let's talk about Audrina Partridge. Yeah you either lover her or hater her, but I feel like that goes for any one of those girls on this show or any reality show. I like Audrina, she's a genuinely good person I feel. She's not confrontantional & she's got some awesome rock-n-roll fashion going on. Again, it's about what u can pull off and Audrina has got that look down. She has an awesome body, so she's skinny enough to even show off her tummy while wearing her famous jeans, "Divine Rights Of Denim." Now these are basically Audrina's jeans. She advertises for them, & by now she helps with new style & contributes to the less expensive label as compared to LC's line, (which is ridicuously overpriced for the items).
There's Audrina in the Divine Denim. These jeans you can get a store like http://www.forver21.com/., as compared to the JET jeans that I always speak about that go for at least $185 now. All the designers, Jbrand, Current Elliott, JET, Siwy...they are all expensive. And now girls out there, like myself see Audrina rocking these jeans, that range from $34-80! And they're cool! Jeans are hard to buy for girls. You need to get the right fit and I know it's hard to switch labels when u already feel comfortable in one, but I do it all the time. This way I know what I love, hate, like or idk.:)
Audrina out of the Hills girls, when it comes to clothing advertisment or designs, lets say...In my opinion, Audrina did the best. She didn't create a whole line, she just backed a pair a jeans & put her name on them, basically. And you know what, Divine Denim was so high in demand when The Hills were on, & I think still are, especially for the pple that can't buy the expensive jeans.
I have two pairs of Divine Rights. This tie dye pair above. I got them b/c I saw the candid pics of Audrina on my reliable celeb style sites and ordered them right away. They were less than $100, that's for sure. They're maybe my cheapest pair of jeans, but only in price, cuz I love them. I don't pull them off as well as Audrina, (cuz no matter what anyone says, & even tho I'm small, she has a bangin body), that can't be compared to mine.
Too bad us girls feel that way about ourselves sometimes. And from watching The Hills, you know that Audrina has some confidence or self-esteem issues herself, or least when it came to Justin Bobby. Haha, but that's another story.
I just wanted to show a picture of Audrina candidly. This outfit shows off her rocker instinct taste. The high suede boots, the booty shorts, the plain, (I'm almost sure Kain label tee), which isn't covering her butt, by the way. So you see, she's cool & she doesn't have to rock expensive jeans to look like an A celebrity.
She is gorgeous. I know different guys have different opinions, but I always say, I bet if you met her in person, it would be different! One other thing about Audrina I like, you can always catch her in some big ass earings. And she certainly has the face to pull them off, as where the other girls, nah. Maybe Kristin Cavallari, but that's it.
So, now for Lauren Conrad's big design career. She's super talented, she's dedicated, determined & she works hard, I'll def give her that. She's def pretty, another natural beauty...def have gotten better looking along the years tho. But they all did, except for Heidi, of course! Anyway, The Lauren Conrad Collection. It comes out and....BLAH!
I'm sure a lot of girls like this plain, simple style, but as you all know by now, that's not really my cup of tea. But on top of not being my style, the whole collection was completely overpriced, & is still overpriced, (altho I heard she was coming out with a line for Target or something. Prob cuz no one wants to spend $65 on just a cami!). So that's my opinion on her clothin line. It's not very much.
Umm, if you do want to buy her clothes, check out my celeb fashion links on the toolbar.
Lauren pulls it off well, I admit.
But this is how I'd rather see Lauren. She's wearing nothing that consists of her clothing line. She's wearing a Fluxus pkt tee, jbrand skinny jeans, Miu Miu shoes & carrying a Baleciaga.
Much better. I have that Fluxus tee, & those jeans. I want thsoe shoes!!!!
Now we got pretty much the last one, Whitney Port, whose originally from The Hills, but to further her career, she left Teen Vogue & started an internship at DVF in NYC, creating the hit spinoff, "The City."
So Whitney finally comes out with a line after LC. It's not really a hit with the fashion world. I mean it's flirty & fun, but there are a lof of eccentric pieces that I'm not sure pple were ready for, or even liked for that matter. The one thing about the Whitney Eve Line, in my opinion, is that all the clothes look like they were made FOR Whitney, or only Whitney could pull the looks off, unless ur the supermodel strutting down the runway. They look good in garbage bags, those models.
See, I can picture Whitney in any of those outfits.
I really think she's very pretty though. She has a model body & she's super nice, or was the nicest on the show before she left. LC is a little hard on her friends, for my taste. Like get out of there business, if they want to make mistakes, let them. Whitney never wanted to cause trouble, I think! And if trouble was coming toward Audrina, I don't really think she knew it.
Very eccentric, & colorful! & not that cheap either! So...verdict for me is a NO.
But of course good for her!
And LAST!!!!!!!
Heidi Montag.
Do I even mention The Heidiwood collection. Yes and for only one reason. Failure.
Horrible clothes. Slutty mostly. Like present Heidi. I don't even know what she was thinking besides money when she designed these clothes. We obvisouly know she doesn't care about her repuatation & will never be taken seriously anymore, but c'mon...I would be embarassed.
I like to think of Heidi in the before picture. I mean even the after pic, in the white bikini, she's still kinda there. But now, Heidi Montag is gone.
This is her. How unfortunate. She was a regular girl. Although everytime I watch The Hills, I like Heidi's character, I guess I shoulda put that in quotations, cuz idk even know if she know's who she is anymore.
This a pic that I like to remember of Heidi. I love her JET slasher jeans, which I have, & the rest of her designer getup. She used to look good in that street style way, she just kept getting sluttier & sluttier as her heel were getting higher & higher. But we can all remember Heidi however we want. Or not remember her at all! Cuz I know some pple out there reading prob hate her!
But in reality it's sad.
Anway, that's my take on that. What did ya think? I just think the moral of this post is that if ur gonna buy something from one of these girls, buy the Divine Denim!!!!
Oh ok, my hubby just got up & my alone time is over. Talk to you guys soon. I need to get stoned & get to bed early tonight. If I'm up all night, I'll be smoking all night=no weed in the morning, which is unacceptable!
Goodnight fashionistas.
