LC Answers Your Questions

You asked and she answered! With The Hills on hiatus until August 18, Lauren Conrad had plenty of time to answer StyleList users' pressing questions about her flirty style, her new fashion label, and beauty tips she's picked up along the way. Plus, we've got the cutest looks from the Lauren Conrad Collection.

"Do you buy your matching pieces at the same time or do you buy them separately? I love what you wear!" -- Tasneem

LC: "Sometimes I go out and buy a whole outfit, but for the most part I buy separates that go with the basic items in my closet."

Not surprisingly, LC's fashion line features plenty of easy, breezy California-inspired dresses and separates. We love this adorable Lala dress -- add some metallic strappy heels for a girl's night out or dress it down with flip-flops. Lala dress, $88, www.shoplaurenconrad.com.

"Do you have any tips for a cute and hot hairstyle that doesn't take forever to do in the morning?" -- Madeleine

LC: "I'm really into braids right now. They are fun and easy to do!"

" When is your next clothing line going to be on sale? I've seen you in some dresses that I just can't wait to buy!" -- Andrea

LC: "New items come out every month, so you can always check the website at wwwshoplaurenconrad.com."

Look Audrey Hepburn chic in LC's slinky Maura top.

"How do you do your eye makeup and what kind of liquid eyeliner do you use?" -- Ashley

LC: "I use mark's On The Edge Hook Up Liquid Eyeliner ($5) in Cleo. Liquid eyeliner takes some practice so be patient. At the beginning try to do a thin line right next to your lashline."

Looking for that perfect summer dress? LC designed the wrinkle-free Lindsay to be a warm weather staple.

"What makes your fall, spring, holiday and summer collections different?" -- Niecy

LC: (seen here with Stephanie Pratt) "Colors and styles change for every season."

LC made this cute bubble dress especially for the 2007 Teen Choice Awards. "It was inspired by the Jade dress from my spring collection, but the chiffon is unique!" Lauren added a vintage waist belt ("it's one of those great finds that totally completes an outfit") and a pair of Jimmy Choos.
