Are you going through “Hills” withdrawals yet? I know I am. It’ll be interesting to see what the upcoming mini-season brings, now that we’ve learned LC and partner-in-crime Whitney Port won’t be working at Teen Vogue. Still, this photo shows that the ever-stylish Lauren Conrad knows a thing or two about fashion, even if she’s no longer working in the biz. Her black dress looks effortlessly chic when paired with her beloved black Chanel Caviar handbag, a gift from ex Jason Wahler. That look just never goes out of style. But though Lauren likes to stay loyal to one classic purse, she’s clearly willing to mix it up when it comes to hair, sporting a shorter, more polished hairstyle. We like!
