The first series I wrote, 'L.A. Candy,' was always meant to be a three-book series, so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book, I had become so involved and the process and the stories, I was a little bit sad to be done.

I've actually spent a lot of time researching beauty products, how they are produced and how they are sold.

I think any opportunity you have to be green, whether it's in business or in everyday life, you should take it.

When you do multiple things you love, it doesn't feel like work.

I used to get taxed on my allowance. Yeah, I've been taxed since I was a little kid. And at the end of the year I had to pick a charity to donate my taxes to.

I'd love to design bridal dresses.

Being responsible for another human life terrifies me, because I kill plants.

I think that I get bored easily with things.

I'm a writer slash designer slash TV personality.

Whenever someone comes up to me and says, 'I'm having trouble shopping.' I tell them to pull out their 10 favorite, most-worn pieces, then build a wardrobe around them. Those staples are going to be different for everybody.

I almost exclusively wear skinny jeans. I'm terrified of any other cut of denim.

Social media is key to promoting the editorial posts on my website.

I've found when all I'm eating is really fresh, healthy foods, I stop craving pizza and burgers.

A lot of my branding has come from stubbornness - I knew what I liked. I knew what I wanted to do.

I'm just not a fan of the gym. In fact, I hate it. I understand loving the feeling you get after working out all those endorphins. But going there? It's the worst.

I think clothes hang beautifully on thin women.

The one thing I've learned about friends is that the good ones are rare.

One way to stay grounded in the entertainment industry is to surround yourself with very good people that will constantly remind you how uncool you are.

Dates are always hard. You don't want to be too dressed up or too casual.

I mean, it's fun to go out and do stuff in Hollywood, but if it was gone tomorrow, I really wouldn't be disappointed.

I don't kiss on the first date. My friends always make fun of me for that! But I will hold hands.

I try to never look back at how I dressed in the first few seasons of 'Laguna Beach' because it was pretty bad... head-to-toe bad.

Being a good observer is a great tool to have as a writer, just taking the world in.

I grew up at the beach and I was always involved in beach clean-ups and caring for my environment.
