Back in August we shared the news that Lauren Conrad would be unveiling her first runway collection for Kohl's during New York Fashion Week - did anyone watch the livestream on September 9? I have to confess, I forgot to watch (didn't see much buzz before the show) but I did check out the collection at my local Kohl's store this past weekend. That's right, this line went straight from the runway to the racks - and it's all on sale, too, priced from $27 to $150 (additional pieces online go up to $224).
I like this collection, scrunched as the pieces were on tightly packed racks under dim fluorescent lighting. I could envision someone like the lovely Allyssa (Life with Lyss) looking stunning in this floor-length ombre dress, this vintage-inspired duster, or this faux suede moto jacket. The floral scuba skirts were dreamy, too, and well constructed. And I could totally picture this ombre tulle maxi skirt being right at home at fashion week (in fact I saw someone at the Betsey Johnson show wearing a similar tulle skirt with a graphic tee - so good).
There's not much in this collection that I'd wear personally (although I may have purchased these ankle boots in cognac, not part of the runway collection) but overall it's fun, feminine and whimsical and worth a look for the upcoming holiday season, or to stow away for next spring and summer's wedding-guest circuit.
Have you checked out the LC Lauren Conrad Runway collection? What did you think?
These leggings aren't part of the runway collection but so good for fall!
So...I bought these boots, couldn't resist! $44.99 is still kinda steep though, not sure if I'll keep them. Need to sleep on it.
Love these pumps, available in a gorgeous merlot red too! $39.99 at kohls.com

Of course those clothes are tailored to fit models but at least you get some sense of how they look on people rather than racks. But I love showing how clothes look on the racks, too, since usually all we get to see are airbrushed model shots
