Lauren Conrad may not be getting much love from former Teen Vogue boss, Lisa Love, but she's not letting a few words bring her down. The reality star's Spring 2008 collection has hit the virtual racks and is ready for purchase. Most of it is very basic, but there are some pieces that stand out, like this Nicole Skirt ($85). Check it out and decide for yourself whether Lisa Love was right when she said: "I think it’s more T-shirt kind of things and jeans, very simple basics."

Pretty blah and boring...
1Boring. I refuse to spend money on clothes made by this wannabe.
2borrringg, the racks at walmart are more exciting
3don't like anything is just average I can get something cuter for a fraction of the price, and from a real disgner. LC stik to reality tv
4agreed. so many stores have either equal or better designs for half of the price.
5Nope. These are nothing special at all.
6my mother always said if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
so my lips are sealed about this one - for you mom!
7oh and i agree with lisa love too. i dont think any of those clothes are horrible, but come on you can find those same shirts at stores like charlotte rousse, forever 21, wet seal, etc. she should at least be original since she basically had this opportunity handed to her.
8Yeah, I don't think the clothes are awful, they just don't warrant spending the extra $$. Forever 21 I think is MORE fashion forward, and you could find a lot of Lauren's stuff at the GAP.
9Why is her model trying to channel amy winehouse???
10It is kinda like everything else out there...
11I like her collection. I think of it as classic casual...pieces you can invest in that will have staying power in your wardrobe which you can add trendy items to. If they're made well, there's no comparison to the quality issues you can have with discount store clothing. I like having straight forward pieces that make my life easier. Great job Lauren and good luck!
12it's pretty but I can buy it cheaper.
13there's nothing interesting with these clothes. it's like there's no new design at all. maybe she'll be more flexible as she matures as a designer.
14I can design way better.
15i like it
16It's pretty simple; nothing you couldn't find at your local H&M. She's playing it safe, and understandably so since she is, after all, not a designer.
17riddle me this....does anyone actually believe that lauren designed any of these clothes?
i know for fact she didn't...she may have input, but she's no designer....she's a hack!
18Wow! It all seems pretty generic! She sucks!
19Well, I like it. I guess I'm the minority in this one, lol.
20I agree that they are basics that you can build a wardrobe around, but they are just too expensive. She doesn't have a strong enough name for herself or her style to charge that much. Has she ever heard of a PATTERN? stripes...polka dots...anything? what about some bright colors???
21A lot of it's the same from Winter. Lauren: Out with the old, in with the new!
22i've been stalking this site.
23and i don't care if she designed it or not, that little braided dress is cute.
and nissyoh (a user here) has two looks with lc dresses that are to die for.
Yawn.
This kind of lazy, endorsement "fashion" makes me so mad! So many talented designers will never get a break like hers and this is what she churns out? I feel like I've seen every one of these pieces before... mostly in Rachel Palley's collections from a few years back.
24B-O-R-I-N-G! She needs to pass the desgin wand to Whitney...she would have a kick ass line!
25*design* Sorry...just got my nails done!
26I think that Lisa Love was just being too nice on describing this collection. It is way to expensive and I could get the same look at American Appearal, and that is a store known for work out/ spandex material and it is all relatively under $40.
27I like this fashion line but I think it costs way to much. The teen vogue editor is right its mostly basics but basics can do someone alot of good. I would definately buy some of these outfits if they where cheaper. I mean come on I think its like $65 for a tank? Hello way to much. Heidi's on the other hand is much cheaper and I cant wait for hers to come out.
28pretty damn simple.......
29Personally, I like Lauren, her style, and a bunch of her designs.I'm a big fan of simple, clean looking clothing. They're too expensive for my budget, but if money were no object, I'd buy these beauties...
30it's nothing you can't buy for a cheaper price at F21. *bored*
31Boring. Overpriced. Who thought this was a good idea?
32Some cute stuff, but for college-aged girls only! Are those dresses or shirts??!!
33the most blahh collection i have ever seen, j crew is more exciting then this. and no prints!
34this might be boring... but you just WAIT for heidi montags line.
35that's sure be a smash! hahahahaha....!!!!
boring.
36Lisa Love was right
Wow. I *guess* this embodies the laid-back California girl, but I'm a little offended. Girls from LA are at least *innovative* with their fashion. This just looks like she re-labeled stuff from GAP and Brass Plum.
37If she really went to fashion school you can't tell. This stuff is so basic and could be found in any store. Lauren has no talent and should just stick to being in a fake "reality" TV show!
38Shoot...I'd rather buy the 75% Last Chance Clearance for women..on Target.com
That or go to Walmart...
I don't see the appeal of her designs. It's not quite innovative, it's pretty basis. Oh well, I'm not a designer. But I'm definitely not her consumer base.
39My retail teacher at FIDM told us a couple things about Lauren, first, shes not a good student and that has a "ghost designer" (whom she knows) Lauren doesnt do ANYthing except sign the pieces off and provide the name and the money :]
p.s. teachers arent happy she's back in school
40The collection looks fab, I love and want the nicole skirt
41Yeah, uh, pretty lame and irrelevant.
How could this even be considered a "line" or a "collection" or even "designed?"
Its exactly like everything on the racks right now at F21, H&M, American Apparel, Target...should I keep going?
Oh well, maybe in a couple weeks it'll all go on clearance and it'll be really cheap, (cheaper than the stuff at H&M even), and someone will buy it from her, and rip the tags out so that no one will know it's her stuff.
Cos that would just be embarrassing.
42These clothes are not bad but they're way too simple for the prices.
43i'd rather buy at f21 or h&m or the go designers for target
44i really hoped all her time around the fashion business would produce something with a little more zest.
45guess not.
the clothes are simple, but I think that's how Lauren's style is. She usually wears basic pieces then spices it up with accessories.
