On April 19th, former MTV star and best-selling author Lauren Conrad will be appearing in Austin as part of her 2012 book tour. Conrad will hold a book signing at BookPeople on North Lamar at 7pm to promote the sales of her newest novel, The Fame Game.
Lauren Conrad is widely known as the fun and determined star of MTV’s Laguna Beach and The Hills, which she appeared in from 2004-2009. After her TV career ended, Conrad began the three-part fiction series, L.A. Candy. The series was inspired by Conrad’s personal life, and follows a reality TV star’s life in Los Angeles. L.A. Candy topped the New York Times Best Seller list, and was reviewed by fans as a fun, teen-oriented book.
“The L.A. Candy books are exciting and upbeat, and you can tell they are geared more towards teens,” junior Chandler Colbeck said.
The release of the final novel of the L.A. Candy series coincided with the release of Conrad’s first “style guide,” Lauren Conrad Style. Style includes Conrad’s personal tips and experiences that came from her internship at Teen Vogue in 2007 as well as her employment with People’s Revolution.
Conrad is currently launching her third fashion line, Paper Crown, following the Lauren Conrad Collection and LC by Lauren Conrad. In September 2011, Conrad announced that she would be expanding her current fashion lines, as well as The Beauty Department, a beauty and style website developed by Conrad along with her stylist Kristin Ess and her makeup artist Amy Nadine.
“I love Lauren Conrad’s style, she’s so fashionable. I think it’s great that she made a style guide to share her fashion tips with the world,” junior Giselle Suazo said.
The Fame Game is a spin-off novel from the L.A. Candy series that follows the trilogy’s secondary character Madison Parker. The novel is set for release on April 3rd, when she begins her book tour in New York. Conrad is also working on her second style book, Lauren Conrad Beauty.
