Lauren Conrad was doing her chic, simple thing at the Avon Foundation's The Hope Honors in NYC last week. We thought the television diva's Diane Von Furstenberg sheath hugged in all the right places. The sparkle added just the right dose of glamor to keep the look young.

Photographers and reporters mobbed the Kim and Khloe Kardashian for the first show, D'Amore by Marceau -- a line of swimsuits with Los Angeles celebutaunt Caroline D'Amore's face on a mixture of bright Spanish-style prints.

On starlets like Whitney Port, the bell skirt is totally sophisticated. But there is a certain combination that makes it so.

Lauren Conrad showed at L.A. Fashion Week yesterday and we must say that the collection was a profound improvement on anything she's sent down the runway in the past.

Much like people who fancy inserting chocolate chip cookies inside of their sandwiches before digesting them, we've always found LA Fashion Week somewhat odd, and to that end, kind of unnecessary.

No, we're not snobs. Although, our blogs new face lift has boosted the sheer wittiness of our posts! Seriously, it's just that we've never understood why someone would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to put on runway shows of collections that are currently be stocked in malls and worn by people.

Well, IMG and events planner Smashbox Studios must have been pondering a similar existential question as ours because last week they announced they would be eschewing future plans to continue to produce LA Fashion Week.

On the break-up, Davis Factor, who co-owns Smashbox told the LA Times: "My opinion is that they just didn't have the time to dedicate toward cultivating this event on a year-round basis. Nothing against IMG, but I think that New York is their big focus and it's difficult with everything they have going on all over the world. It would be hard for them to do LA on the level they do New York. My brother and I can."

So yeah. This is the last time Miss Lauren Conrad will be able to parade her jersey looks down a real runway. That is, of course, if she doesn't make the move to New York Fashion Week next season. Uh, syke!

After presenting at LA Fashion Week with much fanfare and receiving an award from US Weekly for creating the most fashionable celebrity clothing line this year, The Hills' Lauren Conrad has found herself in a veritable quandary: no one wants to buy her pieces anymore.

Agh...the outrage!

It turns out that her little appearance at Bloomingdale's a couple of weeks, you know, the one that made the department store's vice chairman proclaim that LC's collection was "the best-selling celebrity line [they had]," well, didn't do much to help her brand's slagging sales.

Apparently, the racks with Lauren's designs are totally overstuffed because no one wants to buy anything. At all. Not even when stores like Kitson offer a buy-one-get-one free deal are people willing jump on those jersey dresses. But really, this is suppose to be a surprise to whom?

MTV must be pretty excited. Their number one cash cow, reality star, Lauren Conrad, now has a number one selling clothing line as well. Despite previous reviews in the fashion industry that the pieces are overly simplistic and too high priced, she's selling out!

Most people thought this night was all about Russell Brand's crazy-talk and his political leanings, while others remained convinced that this was Britney Spears' time to shine. But, here at Stylelist, of course we know that the MTV VMAs were really all about the clothes!

Reality diva Heidi Montag came out with her arm candy socialite, Spencer Pratt, to support the Pepsi 500 party. Heidi wore a navy Stella McCartney pant-dress on her way to the party that included a performance by N.E.R.D.

Pharrell supported the cause with a neck-to-neck remote control car race with NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon. He celebrated his victory by shaking a Pepsi and spraying it all over the track.

I appreciate that the girls from the Hills really push fashion forward for the younger generations. There are not too many women that age who appreciate style like Lauren, Lo and Heidi.

A while back, when the world went completely bananas for "The Dark Knight," a little lady from The Hills by the name of Lauren Conrad showed up the premiere in an insane Dolce & Gabbana dress. We love her Cali style but we must admit Lauren nailed this one. Her dress perfectly complimented the "Gotham" setting. And the mesh overlay? We died.

Seemingly mere minutes after we told you that Lauren Conrad doesn't actually design the clothes in her collection (about which we're sure you were shocked beyond belief) comes other LC fashion news -- apparently, she has been asked to design dresses for the Emmy Awards.

Yeah, we're pretty baffled, too.

No! We would have never guessed -- oh wait, yes -- we already did guess. Lauren Conrad is not actually the one designing the clothes in her fashion line. Yep, that's right. Her clothing line is as about as real as The Hills.

The Dark Knight is receiving a huge amount of buzz, largely due to the astounding performance of the late Heath Ledger as The Joker. Apparently he is riveting, and this "sequel" maintains the high standards of excitement and action set by director Chris Nolan's 2005 Batman Begins.

We love us some Christian Bale around here, especially when he's dressed up, like at the film's New York premiere on July 14th. Naturally he looked devastating, and even better, everyone at the screening looked goth. They were all dressed in black, as if for a funeral, or a wake. Which in a way, they sort of were.

We knew the Dark Knight premiere would be a big event. Heath Ledger's death has drawn even more attention to what was already sure to be a mega hit. What we didn't know was that the most random celebrities ever would be invited!

King/Queen of Schadenfreude Perez Hilton is gleefully proclaiming the death of the clothing line "created" by Hills "star" Lauren Conrad. Kitson dropped her from their L.A. boutiques because of "lackluster sales." Ouch.

Like seemingly everyone else, we found the stuff she "designs" to be overpriced given their lack of originality, but not that bad. If anything, they were an almost perfect thermometer of vapid popularity. Are maxi-dresses still popular? Yes, LC has one in the latest "collection" which means they will be around for another 15 minutes.

Sure, it's a blow to get dropped by trend-maker Kitson, but like a weed, we're sure LC will pop up somewhere else. In the meantime, mid-western sweet sixteens with fat allowances and a "reality" show addiction can still get their drapey jersey dress fix online.
