Lauren Conrad Launches Recession-Chic Line

Lauren Conrad is out of Kitson and into Kohl's.

When she first debuted an overpriced fashion line, it quickly fizzled. Now she's back with L.C. by Lauren Conrad, which retails at Kohl's.

Last night, she feted the launch of her latest line with a party—not at the department-store chain, but on Melrose Place.

While she walked the carpet solo, her boyfriend, actor Kyle Howard, was by her side inside the soiree. The couple was careful not to get photographed together, though.

One former fling missing from the bash?

Brody Jenner. Although his BFF Frankie Delgado was in attendance, Brody was MIA. Perhaps he's in hiding after Kristin Cavallari called him out on his boring bedroom skills?

L.C.'s clothes weren't on the display at the event, but partygoers went home with gift bags full of her fashions. The designs aren't all that interesting, but at least they're affordable this time. Everything in her new line is under $60.

Will you be buying?
