Now a best-selling author, Lauren Conrad is turning her attentions to penning a non-fiction book. The reality TV star has just revealed plans to write a style guide titled, Lauren Conrad Style, to be published by HarperCollins in autumn next year.
The book is set to include style tips, never-before-seen photos and will show readers how to interpret her easy classic look into their everyday wardrobes.
"I am really excited to write a style guide," said Conrad, who also designs a clothing line for Kohl's. "I think fashion should be fun and reflective of who you are. When you wear clothes you feel good in, it shows in everything you do. I know this guide will offer simple, practical tips to help anyone look fabulous."
Lauren's début fiction release, L.A. Candy, became a number one New York Times bestseller. Her follow-up novel, Sweet Little Lies, is due for release in February 2, 2010.
The red carpet was rolled out for the American Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York overnight. Showing off her feminine side in a figure-hugging ivory mermaid gown by Stephane Rolland was Rihanna. The troubled star gave an emotional acceptance speech while being honoured with the Woman Of The Year trophy.
"Sorry, I'm PMS-ing," she apologised to the crowd. "I couldn't possibly make it up here in this dress. As usual, I decided to wear the tightest dress I could find."

While Victoria Beckham glams it up for Harper's Bazaar, Kate Hudson adds a little (okay, a lot) of winged eyeliner to her Elle December cover. In the interview, the actress discusses Botox, boys and bloggers, whom she considers a bunch of mean girls (humph!).
"It's like having a girl talk badly about you in high school. It's so juvenile and base. Not liking an outfit, OK, I get that. OK, let's all laugh at somebody's outfit. OK, you don't like it; you can make a funny joke about it. And if you have a good sense of humour, you can take it."

Glamming it up again for the cameras is Victoria Beckham. The Spice Girl-turned designer has revealed how she maintains that tiny toned bod in the latest issue of British Harper's Bazaar.
Ever since she and hubby, David Beckham, were tapped to model the Emporio Armani Underwear campaign, Victoria has been hitting the gym seven days a week so she doesn't have to rely on airbrushing.
"I didn't want to rely on retouching," she admitted. "I wanted to look at those pictures in 20 years' time and say, "Wow, look - after three kids - I didn't look bad."

We so very much <3 this!
New London mag, Sketchbook, has dedicated its entire debut issue to fashion bloggers *does a little happy dance* starring our pal Susie Bubble on the cover.
The first edition: The Fashion Blogger Issue. 'I blog therefore I am', explores the way fashion blogging has "blossomed into a cultural phenomenon and become a way of life for both fashion journalists and fashion fans alike." Oh, I like the sound of that.
