One June 11th,
Lauren Conrad
released her latest book, Infamous, the highly anticipated final
installment in her Fame Game Series. In typical LC fashion, Conrad
launched the book with with style and grace embarking on a five city
book tour, where she took the time to meet and greet her adoring fans
and talk about the conclusion of Fame Game Series. Daily Quirk Blogger
Kelsey Murray caught up with Conrad at her Burlington, MA signing, where
hundreds of fans braved an unusual June hail storm to meet the girl we
all want to grow up to be (even if we’re already in our twenties), for
an exclusive Daily Quirk interview about Infamous, her LC Lauren Conrad
Clothing Line, and what’s next on her perfectly manicured agenda. Read
on for the interview!
The Daily Quirk: You wear so many different hats, fashion designer, blogger, brand ambassador –
how do you manage your time to write in the midst of everything else?Lauren
Conrad: I don’t know. I don’t have an amazing answer – I just kind of
do. I think everything is just scheduled very well. I’m doing something
different everyday but I am definitely busy.
TDQ: How does it feel to finish the third and final novel in your Fame Game series?LC:
It’s good. I mean it’s exciting to finish it and you know it’s a nice
accomplished. It’s a little sad because it means I’m done and this was a
series I really enjoyed working on.
TDQ: In Infamous, Madison
is avoiding the cameras and feels manipulated by the idea of reality
television? Is this autobiographical in a sense? Once the Hills expanded
to multiple seasons did you feel this way yourself?
LC:
Well this is different because the character Madison Parker is actually
very different from myself and my views. And I specifically had her
start out that way to kind of show the change of someone who really
likes fame – who when it turns on them- has difficulty with it. So I
think it’s something that everybody feels. I think it’s less about
cameras of the television show your on and more about press. Because
they work with you everyday, they know you, they’re emotionally invested
in you so they don’t ever want to make you look terrible. They’re
invested in your story line as opposed to just making up a headline to
sell something.
TDQ: What is the biggest lesson you want your readers to take away from this series in particular?
LC:
Honestly, I think that there really just meant to be fun books. For me
it was kind of a light hearted way to show a little bit of what goes on
in the entertainment industry and obviously things are exaggerated and
made up but I just kind of wanted to be light reads.
TDQ: Will we get to hear more from you as an author? Do you plan on writing a new series or another stand-alone book?
LC:
Maybe. I don’t have any immediate plans to do it. Honestly, I’ve spent
the last, gosh, I don’t know four years writing and I haven’t really had
a break. So I am going to take a little break between this and what I
do next.
TDQ: You recently gave readers a sneak peak at your
LC Lauren Conrad Summer collection on your site. How would you describe
the look and feel of the collection?
LC: We actually don’t do
seasons we do deliveries. So it’s actually every single month we do
something. So every single collection is a slightly different vibe. For
summer, we tend to go a little more casual just because that’s kind of
the lifestyle in summer. It’s less going out to dinners and more
barbeques. We always do a lot of fun shorts. We did a lot of open work
so like crochet pieces. We did a couple of maxi’s that I really liked.
So I think the collection is just really easy. It’s very California.
TDQ: What’s the most important summer style tip you can give our readers?
LC:
I think that the fun thing about summer is that you’re able to tone
things down. Do you know what I mean? You can wear staple pieces that
you’ve worn year round but there’s sort of like a cool factor to summer
so I think that the way you accessorize is a little bit different. It’s
kind of fun to dress down a nicer piece.
TDQ: What is up next for you? Do you have any upcoming projects you can share with us?
LC:
I am just trying to finish my tour right now. It’s my number one. And I
just launched bedding with my Kohl’s line so those are my two big
things this month.
