Lauren Conrad Says Her Television Days 'Toughened' Her Up

Lauren Conrad keeps it playful in a pretty pink playsuit in this new shot from her October 2015 cover of Cosmopolitan.

The 29-year-old fashion designer dished about following her passion, her television past, and more. Check it:

On fashion being her passion: “Television was just sort of an accident… I never felt really strongly about it. But fashion is something I feel passionate about. If I hadn’t done TV, I still would have ended up in the [fashion] industry, but I definitely wouldn’t be in the position I am now.”

On being basic: “I probably am pretty basic. But I’m also a pretty happy person, so that’s okay with me.”

On not being bitter about The Hills: “When I did television, scandal was always around me. And I think one of the best things [about that] for me is that your life becomes more big picture. You have to develop a thick skin really quickly. It toughened me up, which is good.”
