I cannot believe that having such an empty show such as The Hills on MTV (which of course I watch) can mean that you get to be a "designer" who makes things like the dress above. Or things like this:

That's right. Lauren Conrad's collection. I'm all for high quality basics, but what is this? The shirt above is $92. Hasn't this been done a million times and a million times better by real designers like Rachel Pally? There is absolutely nothing special about the collection and Lauren's real life style isn't even anything impressive. Why would they give her a line? I've always said that I could never design, because I'm not artsy and creative in that way. But if I was forced to, I'm sure I could come up with something better and more unique and SOMEWHAT interesting than the boring collection that is Lauren Conrad. Don't even get me started on "Heidiwood". These photos were taken from revolveclothing.com, and I'm sad that they would even sell this line. Even sadder is the people who would spend that much on a Lauren Conrad "original". You know who actually has some talent? Mary-Kate and Ashley. Here is a dress from their current Elizabeth and James collection:

It may not fit everyone's tastes with the cutouts and all, but at least it's trying something different, and isn't some boring ass jersey dress/shirt. They may always be known as the Olsen Twins, but at least they can put out some well-designed quality clothing. See the rest of Elizabeth and James.
