Lauren Conrad: Making Her Mark

Kicking off the work week on Monday (November 10) with a studious look, Lauren Conrad was spotted out at her clothing warehouse in Sylmar, a district in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California.

After tending to her fashion-related duties, the MTV reality starlet then headed off in her Audi R8 to grab up lunch at the Sunset Marquis Hotel.

Aside from clothing and reality TV, LC has also recently "teamed up with Avon's mark cosmetics as the spokeswoman for m.powerment, an advocacy campaign for women ages 16 to 24. Conrad's focus is prevention of dating abuse and partner violence," a USA Today report tells.

"It's a difficult age, and you don't have a lot of experience in dating, and you don't know what the norm is and what's acceptable," Conrad says. "Dating abuse isn't something that's normally talked about. It has such a stigma to it."

As for her personal life, Conrad insists that her latest beau, actor Kyle Howard, won't be making any appearances on "The Hills".

"There's very little that I'm able to keep to myself through the show and through media, so if there's anything I can, I try to," the 22-year-old tells.
