Lauren Conrad to write column for Forbes Lifestyle

The go-getting entrepreneur started her career on reality show Laguna Beach before graduating to The Hills and then going on to create two clothing ranges, two websites, and a successful range of novels.

At just 25, she has been asked to share her journey with readers of the magazine for the next four months as she debuts her speciality clothing line, Paper Crown, and continues to navigate the business world.

'Lauren's jump from celebrity to entrepreneur puts her on the same trajectory as many a bright-eyed instant cover girl, but whether she can channel her persona into an enduring commercial tour de force remains to be seen,' Forbes associate editor Jane Lee wrote in the announcement.

'Starting Thursday, follow Lauren as she takes us on a four-month exploration of the fashion business, inner workings of a celebrity website, the publishing industry - and watch for beauty/style tips from the powerbroker herself.'

And Lauren added, 'I'm really excited to be working with Forbes to give you a taste of my life as an entrepreneur.'
