Lauren Conrad posed for photographers at the New York launch of her Fall 2008 Laurn Conrad Collection at a Bloomingdale’s, in the Big Apple on Wednesday (September 10).

After showing off her own line the Hills hottie headed over to the Nanette Lepore fashion show with best friend Lauren ‘Lo’ Bosworth.

Meanwhile it has just been announced Conrad signed a three book deal with HarperColins publishing company to write a series of young adult stories. The first book is scheduled for a summer 2009 release date and is loosely based around the life of Conrad.

Speaking to People the 22-year-old says “it’s definitely influenced by my own life, the books are about a girl who moves to L.A. and stars in a reality show, so obviously there are some similarities.”

She adds that she won’t really be writing about her friends, saying “I’m not trying to do a fictional story based on all my friends in my real life because their stories aren’t really mine to tell, some of the characters may symbolize people in my life, but it is in no way calling anyone out.”

Finishing of Lauren says “I run ideas by Lo and I’ll ask for her opinion because I value my friends’ opinions, honestly I haven’t told everyone, I’ve told my best friends and they have all been really supportive. Nobody was worried.”
