Sneak Peek! The Lauren Conrad Collection La Vie en Rose

August 4, 2008

I witnessed Lauren's Fall collection on the runway and now it's time to buy it. The La Vie en Rose collection is now available on her brand website. It's a mix of her staple California jersey basics, with a French flair and a sliver of the '80s. Her favorite teeny frocks range from strapless and girlie to maxi glam. Halters, asymmetrical and scoop necks rule; this collection is a tad sexier than her past ones. Prices range from $90 for a top to $230 for a dress. It's sassier and sexier, do you want a piece of La Vie en Rose?

I am a big fan of Lauren Conrad,I love The Hills and I think she has great personal style. However, her collections have left me dissapointed. This line is a little boring, and seems to only consist of basic pieces. Don't get me wrong, I would wear every single thing in this collection, but I think the line is lacking those few standout pieces(perhaps more prints or vibrant colours?). Another problem is obviously the price. I don't mind paying good money for clothes, but I also don't want to be overcharged. The people who Lauren should be marketing her clothes to are females in their late teens or twenties. Not many young women have $165 to spend on leggings. She is making her clothes unreachable for her wide base of young fans. I am happy that she has recently teamed up with Kohl's though, that is a step in the right direction for her brand :)

I liked one of the dresses but that's about it. This line way overpriced.

Is the same thing every season. I don't think she is having any success with the line, if she would of make it more affordable I think she could of done better, once her reality statues is gone her line would be gone to. You can get nicer dresses from named designers.

Everything is just so plain, already out there, and way over priced. Who actually buys stuff from her collection?

Yay another bland, boring overpriced clothing collection from Lauren Conrad! She should have marketed her clothes to Target, because that's where this stuff belongs. Cute, cheap and trendy.

all of these pieces, including colors and prints, are identical to past and current rachel pally collections.

i've been really under-whelmed by every collection of hers, it just seemed like she had a lot of growing to do as a designer, like finding a voice. Then a friend of mine who just graduated from FIDM, where Lauren also went to school, told me that Lauren was actually studying merchandising, not design, and it all seems to make sense now.

I actually really like this! The clothes are basic, but you can put your own stamp on them by accesorizing. I could see myself wearing many of these items. BUT, it is waaaay too overpriced! The quality of the fabric isnt even great. Plus, I doubt she ever put pencil to paper to design this. So I'm not spending my money on it.

I'm getting bored of her. My mum went to LA last week and offered to buy me stuff from her line. I said no because for something so simple, it's a tad overpriced. She got me Chloe sunglasses instead.

brynna - haha! I thought the same thing. The girl looks eerily like Lauren - hair, makeup, everything!As for the clothes, it's not that they're ugly, they're just entirely too expensive for such simplicity and for being relatively unknown in the fashion world. Like a majority of people have said before, you can find similar pieces @ H&M, Forever 21, American Apparely, and heck, even Target, for a fraction of her price. I'd say she definitely needs to come down on the prices on her future collections. Maybe then they won't be on the "Buy One Get One Free" rack @ Kitson.

boring!!!!!!!!!! yet again, anyways you can't expect much from her........... i think all of this dresses you can get them at American Apparel for $30 !

Oh my gosh! Is Lauren modeling her own line? Is that her? If it isn't her then they found a model who looks scary close to LC, and if it is her then she was photoshopped. This collection is nothing different than the previous collections. The clothes aren't ugly, but there's no creativity. You have your very own clothing line, have some fun with it!

I want one of the high waisted skirts. Most of the dresses are very cute. She has improved from her previous fall collection.

It's definitely not ugly, but it's not innovative either. If her clothes were 10-25% of their current price, I'd buy them. Older women with money probably don't buy these (because there's relatively no label recognition) and younger women are usually too broke to drop $165 on a pair of leggings. I'd rather stick with my $8 Target leggings and save up for a pair of Louboutins.
