The Bashed: Lauren Conrad’s Fall 2008 Collection

It’s mid October and your homecoming dance is quickly approaching. Your friends include your pet hamster Squeaky and the lunch lady who serves you poorly prepared Sloppy Joes. Your ex-boyfriend dumped you so he could spend more time reading Anime and trading cards. So, you want to start all over? Make a good impression? Well, wearing one of Lauren Conrad’s dresses to your homecoming dance is certainly not the way to do it.

Come on Lauren, you grew up in Beverly Hills for Christ sake and you work for ! Haven’t the playground of the rich, famous and fabulous and the fashion industry taught you anything? No girl wants to be caught dead dancing in a hunter green ruched halter dress! And to make matters worse, all of these designs have been done before- the strapless tuxedo look, the single shoulder bow, the Greek inspired draping. It looks like you and could use a collection makeover…and how!

And please, save teenage girls the humiliation and NEVER start a prom dress collection.

About the Author: After dropping $31 for Valencia orange juice and strawberry-banana yogurt at a Greenwich Village Gristedes, begging her parents for nearly $50,000 a year to attend America's dream school, NYU, and wasting $26.50 on a lost MetroCard, there is nothing more priceless than Kirby's arrival at Fashion Indie. As a Buffalo native, where the God-awful Ugg Boots slop around the slushy April snow, Kirby made the executive decision to relocate to an atmosphere accepting of crocodile thigh-high gladiator sandals (apologies to her dog who stuck in the suburbs of Buffalo sleeping in the shadows of the stairwell). Kirby is currently exploiting the opportunities New York City has to offer. From running into Gossip Girl cast members at the NYU gym, to coincidentally modeling in Fashion Indie's Brooklyn Bridge show, and finally to pursuing her dream of becoming the new Anna Wintour, Kirby is taking no prisoners...except maybe for her roomate's Marc by Marc jacket, which by the way Andrea, you probably won't see again.

    Is that LC’s taller imaginary doppelganger modeling the collection?
