I have been a ride or die fan of Lauren Conrad since her days on Laguna Beach, and I am still just as obsessed with her now as I was then. One thing to know about me is that I am not into celebrities and Hollywood. You can ask any of my close friends or family members, I always say, "The only celebrity I care about is Lauren Conrad." The reason I consider her a key role model to me aside from my mother is not because she is famous, but rather because she is truly a beautiful person both inside and out. She embodies everything I want to be as a young adult. She has worked for everything she has in her life and is not one of those celebrities that has gotten everything handed to her. She went through a series of internships, trials, and tribulations just like the average girl, which makes her so relatable!
Lauren has created a brand that is unlike anything out there. Everything she produces (clothing, books, blogs, etc) are produced with so much effort and heart, and it really shows. She is such a classy and respectable woman who I wish more young females would look up to. I look up to her in so many ways it is hard for me to put in words. She embraces everything I want to be in life & I am still awe that I got to meet her! I feel like it was a dream- I am a total fan girl right now!
My experience at Bookends was wonderful. I did I have to wait 3 hours to meet her, but I became fast friends with two lovely women who share the same love for Lauren Conrad as I do. Those 3 hours flew by, I didn't even notice I was waiting that long! When I first saw her I couldn't believe how stunning she was in person & when it was my turn to meet her I couldn't believe she was so sweet. She said, "Hello Stephanie, it is nice to meet you." I responded back, "How are you doing?" to which she replied, "I'm doing great, it's just getting so hot in here." I noticed how stunning was her hair. So I responded, "Your hair is so beautiful, did you twist or braid it?" She responded, "Thank you so much. Hmmm, I don't know you tell me!" She then proceeded to show me the back of her head. In my head, I'm thinking, "Yup I am BFF status with Lauren Conrad right now." I go, "Oh it looks like it started as a twist in the front and braided towards the back." She said, " My hairdresser did it for me. She was trying to teach me how to do it myself." We proceeded to take pictures, and our conversation ended with Lauren saying, " It was so lovely meeting you , Stephanie. Thank you so much for coming!" I was on cloud nine. She was so sweet and truly nice. I had such a lovely experience meeting my role model, and I couldn't have asked for a better time. Her book Celebrate teaches you how to host the perfect gathering for family and friends to create memories that will last a lifetime. Overall I am so happy I went to the book signing and it is a memory that will keep near and dear to my heart. The greatest lesson I learned from this experience is to never wait for opportunities to arise, create your own. You never know what can happen or what experiences can come out of meeting others!
