I'm into mellow dates with really good food.

When you're writing a book, you don't want it to be overly trendy because you want people to enjoy it for years and refer back to it.

I'm obsessed with the 1920s, everything from the style to the lifestyle. It was a really cool era.

Everyone has that friend who's every day, like, 'I hate my nose, I hate my nose, I hate my nose.' You either need to come to peace with it and be like, alright, I hate it, but it's part of me - or change it. So I'm not against plastic surgery, I'm against plastic surgery when it doesn't really need to be done.

Dating is all about the chase. It's fun!

When you are working really hard and you're really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer.

Fitness is a luxury when you are busy!

I do most of my shopping online. It's just convenient for me.

Dating in Los Angeles can be hard, which makes it all the better when you meet a really nice guy.

I don't have the best dating track record.

I definitely aspire to be someone like Tyra Banks, who's created an empire for herself.

When you're growing up, you play dress-up - it's a game, it's a pastime. And then as you get older, getting ready and looking nice becomes this constant stress. I want to make it fun again.

I go through phases when I've been filming where I wake up in the middle of the night and I think I'm being filmed.

I make fun of guys when I like them. I act like I'm 10 years old. I do it as a test to see if they can laugh at themselves. If they get sensitive, then it's like, 'Um, this isn't going to work.'

I always wear bronzer because I love the way my skin looks when it's tan.

In Hollywood, you grow up quick.

You have your personal life and you have work life; when it's combined, it's difficult.

When I work with my art department on putting imagery together for my blog posts I always think, 'Would I pin this?' That really helps.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

I think clothes hang beautifully on thin women.

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.

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

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

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

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

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'm a writer slash designer slash TV personality.

I think that I get bored easily with things.

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

I'd love to design bridal dresses.

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.

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

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

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

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 haven't met a woman without insecurities.

During holiday parties I end up recycling a lot of my cocktail dresses and just wearing a layering piece, like a blazer and tights, with it.

There's not one person that I say I want to look like.

I love wearing designer pieces with something I found at Target.

There's not a business or a master plan as far as I'm concerned. I take it week by week, and I don't think you ever expect to be able to do the next thing.

I'm my happiest when I'm really busy. I love feeling like I need one more hour of sleep, or when I'm running around frazzled!

I'm not old-fashioned when it comes to dating, but there's something nice about a guy pulling out a girl's chair and opening the door for her, even if it's just in the beginning.

I don't call magazines and let them know about things so they can write stories.
