Unlike Jon and Kate Gosselin, when Lauren Conrad decided she did not want to have her every move documented, she quit the reality show she was on, rather than complaining about celebrity gossip tabloids to celebrity gossip tabloids.
We're just saying.
Despite her retirement after Sunday's season finale, the former star of The Hills is still going to be seen out and about now and then, we would guess.
Case in point? She was modeling clothes for boyfriend Kyle Howard during a shopping trip at the Alice + Olivia store at the Malibu Lumber Yard.
Conrad's relationship with Kyle Howard likely played a role in her decision to leave The Hills, as he cannot appear on it (being under contract for TBS' comedy, My Boys).
The 23-year-old beauty seemed super-comfortable in front of her boyfriend, who sat on the couch enjoying her private fashion show. Lucky stiff.
The couple also snapped photos of children's dresses before leaving.
"The two looked like they were in were in love, sneaking kisses here and there," an onlooker said of Lauren Conrad and Kyle Howard.
