Lauren Conrad has spoken about a major fashion disaster – the moment her pet dog ate her Chanel handbags.
The reality TV star, author and designer told Women's Health that she was horrified when her two-year-old dog Chloe ran amok in her wardrobe.
She said: 'She ate two of my Chanel [handbags] and chewed the heel off a pair of boots right out of the box.”
But the former Hills star – who appears on the front cover of the latest issue of the US fitness magazine – said she sought the help of a 'fashion doctor' who repaired the damage.
The 24-year-old California-native didn't go into detail about the 'doctor', but said: 'He was like a magician. He brought everything back to life.'
The TV star, who is currently promoting her third book Lauren Conrad Style, also revealed that when she's not writing and designing clothes, she cooks for herself and her room-mates, including one-time co-star Lo Bosworth.
She said: 'I like to know exactly what's being put into my food. And it's nice to come home at the end of the day and cook with your friends.'
To work off the calories, she added that she likes to go kayaking, hiking and playing tennis with friends near her Los Angeles apartment.
She said: 'None of us are any good, but there's a lot of running around just trying to hit the ball… Anyway to make a work-out feel like playtime is great.
“The stress just melts away.'

Reality darling Lauren Conrad starts shooting for her new show which means one thing--expect to see a lot of her!
Lauren's going to be busy doing the promotional rounds, and boy does she have a lot to promote! Between her new reality show, her new book and designing for Kohl's, Lauren has her plate full right now.
She's featured on the new cover of Women's Health magazine where she talks about post-TV life, she spills the beans about her many new projects and how she squeezes in staying in shape. Here are some highlights...
On her post-TV life:
“A lot of the craziness is over. It’s the calm after the storm.”
On balancing her hectic lifestyle:
“When you are working really hard and you’re really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer. It takes a lot of effort to have a successful career, have great relationships in your life and have a healthy lifestyle. It’s just about compromise.”
On staying grounded:
“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. It helps that I have an amazing family and I have really great friends that I’ve had since I was a little kid and they’re all still around me, reminding me how lame I am.”
On producing:
“You know, the next thing I’m probably going to do is getting into producing. For me it’s more about finding the time that I really have to dedicate to the beginning stages because I want the first project I do to be something really special.”
On her other upcoming projects:
“Right now, I’m working on putting together my next book series; working on the Kohl’s line…which has taken up a lot of time and has been really, really fun to do.”
On her success as a writer:
“A little bizarre but really cool.”
On taking on a dozen different projects and squeezing in workouts with her beau:
“It helps if your friends and boyfriend like to work out because then you can kill two birds with one stone.”
On her kickboxing sessions:
“Any way to make a workout feel like playtime is great. The stress just melts away.”
