Lauren Conrad’s new MTV reality show won’t be a Hills redux. Gone are the grainy glammed-up montages of LA’s freeways, Conrad says her new show will be filmed more like a “documentary.” “The Hills was shot with three or four cameras; things like entrances and exits were reshot; and if there were sound issues, we were asked to repeat what we just said,” LC tells Teen Vogue in her cover story. “This show is going to have a smaller crew, and they’ll just be following us around. It’s going to have a rougher feel, but I think the end result is going to be more true.” (Right…)
Her inspiration? The September Issue. The show will focus on her new line, Paper Crown, which, Conrad says, will be all about “really great fits, fabrics, and details. It won’t be overly trendy—nothing that’s trying too hard.”

For SS11 designers turned to their animal roots, emblazoning their designs with portraits of their favorite furry friends. From Prada’s now famous monkeys to Tsumori Chisato’s tiger, jungle animals were the most popular, although Miu Miu went classy with swans and Giles showed some koala-looking blobs on intarsia sweaters.
Which animal portrait would you wear?

The Brazilian Blowout Allegedly Contains A LOT of Formaldehyde: What Does This Mean For The Future Of Hair Straightening?
Ask someone who has had a Brazilian Blowout or other keratin straightening treatment, and more often than not you will get a giddy, breathless account of how it has changed her life. Indeed, my friend Jodi, who was an early adopter of the Japanese and then keratin straighteners said, “I would give my left arm before giving it up.” Trust me, she means it.
But there’s a chance she may have to give it up. Perhaps the frizzy, unkempt hair Marc Jacobs showed on his S/S 2011 runway is a harbinger of bad hair days to come.
The hair straightening product Brazilian Blowout is at the center of the controversy, faced with accusations that it contains dangerously high levels of formaldehyde. Health Canada, a government-based health agency, tested the product after it received multiple complaints and found that it contained 12% formaldehyde. Health Canada issued a statement on October 7th recommending that all Canadian salons stop offering the treatment.

Fashion News Roundup: Lanvin for H&M Trailer, More Sofia Coppola For LV, and Lara Stone Wants Little Gay Boys
Lanvin Hearts H&M Trailer: Remember when we told you about the competition H&M was holding offering an exclusive Lanvin video to the most popular blogger? Well, Zet Fashion was able to gather up enough votes to win exclusive rights run a cut of the Lanvin Hearts H&M trailer (the full vid debuts on November 8 at HM.com). The video shows Leigh Lezark pouring Alber Elbaz tea and it’s pretty amazing. {Racked}
More Sofia Coppola for LV: Sofia Coppola is a busy lady. In the past year she has given birth to her second child and directed her new film Somwhere. She’s also added more bags to her popular collection with Louis Vuitton. The expanded collection will offer more colors and shapes as well as her signature SC bag in luxe crocodile. {Daily Front Row}
Sally Singer’s First Issue at T: Rumors are floating around that Mick Jagger will grace the cover of Sally Singer’s first issue of T. {Fashionologie}
Lara Stone On Having Kids: Apparently, Lara Stone is all about having kids. Little gay boys, specifically. “I would love to have children some day,” she told British Vogue. “I’d like little gay boys. That would be good. I’m terrified of having a little girl. Girls are more evil than boys. And then they have boyfriends.” {The Cut}

It’s Supposed To Look Like You Just Stepped In Gum, And More of Kobi Levi’s Crazy Sculptural Shoes
In case you felt there was a shortage of crazy shoes on the SS11 runways this season (hello Prada), Israeli designer Kobi Levi has got just the stompers for you. More like sculptures than actual shoes, Levi’s designs are comical, kitschy, and probably hard to walk in.
Nevertheless, they’re amazingly crazy and delightful (and a little NSFW). Thanks to Design Boom for finding them. Click through to pick your favorite design!

If you are one of those lucky people who has today off, this is a perfect way to waste six minutes. If you, like us, have to work today, this is a perfect way to waste six minutes while feeling resentful about having to be at work. And trust me, it’s worth it.

Last Night’s Parties: Brad Goreski and Kelly Osbourne Celebrate Fendi’s New LA Boutique
LOS ANGELES–Last night, Fendi threw a bash to celebrate the opening of their newest Los Angeles boutique in the Beverly Center and we happily joined the party.
The intimate space is sleek and luxurious, with white ribbed walls and amber facades, and it is the first US boutique to have a men’s ready-to-wear and accessories section. With a performance by rock/jazz pianist, Elew, and live DJ, the vibe was energetic and the crowd was eclectic. Throughout the night we spied Dania Ramirez, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, and Brad Goreski, but sadly no Chloe Sevigny, who was expected to show.
