Before Lauren Conrad was a successful fashion designer, author, and lifestyle blogger, she was a lowly intern in the fashion closet of Teen Vogue living in the Hollywood Hills with her best friends.
Like many of us who watched in awe from our couches, Conrad and the cast of "The Hills" endured their fair share of drama — even if it wasn't entirely authentic.
Now 11 years later, LC and her castmates have changed drastically. Here are 17 memorable moments from the series that launched it all from Lauren's first moments in the world of fashion to the epic Speidi throwdowns.
17. A man so great he needed two names
Oh, Justin Bobby. When Audrina Patridge brought her date Justin by to meet friends Lauren and Lo Bosworth for the first time, their jokes didn't go over so well with JB.
But Lauren and Lo’s teasing didn't scare Justin off. He stuck around to mess with Audrina’s head for a few more seasons
16. Audrina accuses Lauren of hooking up with Justin Bobby
In season 5, Audrina heard from a friend that her former roommate Lauren had recently been hooking up with her on-again-off-again flame, Justin.
Lauren was hurt that Audrina would even believe the rumors and blamed Audrina for the rift. Even after the two talked, Audrina didn't want to acknowledge that she'd messed up.
15. Homeboy wore combat boots to the beach
A season 3 barbecue was just one of the countless times Justin left Audrina in the dust. After spending time with the group at Brody Jenner’s house in Malibu, Justin disappeared without a word.
Lauren shows Audrina the helmet Justin left behind for her. Trying to comfort her friend, Lauren reminded Audrina that she deserves more than a guy who wears combat boots to the beach.
