Lauren Conrad's Fashion Rules

Lauren Conrad wrote a book called Style by HarperCollins which covers topics like dressing for a first date and other tricks.  She gave People her favorite 5 Fashion Rules such as:

1.  Mix it up
She said "I love a fux-leather piece with a more feminine item like a slip-dress.

2.  Borrow from the boys
She said "I love menswear.  A blazer can be dressed up or down.  You get lots of mileage from them and they give you a polished appearance.

3.  Great jeans don't have to break the bank
She said "Every woman should own a flattering pear of jeans.  I buy all my denim at Urban Outfitters.  They have good selections and prices.

4.  Make investments count
A black pump goes with everything so it's okay to spend more.  She said "I love how Christian Louboutin does a platform high heel.

5.  Think beyond the closet
Style is beyond what you look like.  It's small gestures like being gracious to waitstaff that set you apart.
