Lauren in Redbook, April 2013

Lauren Conrad is featured on the front of the April 2013 issue of Redbook magazine.

Here are a few highlights from the interview:
Lauren's advice on building a wardrobe
"Whenever someone comes up to me and says, 'I'm having trouble shopping.' I tell them to pull out their 10 favorite, most-worn pieces, then build a wardrobe around them. You need to figure out what you gravitate toward, what makes you feel good — and those staples are going to be different for everybody."

On how she stands apart from other "celebrity" designers
"I spent years in school for this. It wasn't just, 'I like clothes! I'm going to make some!'"

On putting the fun back into your wardrobe
"When you're growing up, you play dress-up — it's a game, it's a pastime. And then as you get older, getting ready and looking nice becomes this constant stress. I want to make it fun again."
