Lauren Conrad has taken to her MySpace Celebrity blog to clear up rumors about her clothing line, which is currently “on hiatus.”

“A few days ago a statement was released to the showrooms that carry my clothing line. It asked them to let the stores know that I was planning to take a couple seasons off from my line so that I could make some changes that I felt were necessary,” she writes.

“As a result, a lot of people were under the impression that my line was being discontinued or had been dropped,” she continues. “This isn’t the case at all. The truth is, I was the one who asked to take a couple seasons off.”

Conrad says she has “learned so much in the past year and I want to apply that to the improvement of my clothing line. I also wanted to make some changes in production so I would be able to lower the price point. That being said, I am actually really excited about beginning this process.”

She has been spending the last couple of weeks working on new designs for the spring, “which is when I am planning to bring the (new and improved) line back.”

Before signing off, Conrad told fans she has some “very exciting things going on that will be announced shortly.”

Lauren Conrad‘s clothing line is temporarily on hold, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

“She is taking a hiatus, but the line still exists and will continue,” her rep tells Us. “The sales of her line in the first year doubled what was projected. However, in light of the economy, it’s a good time for Lauren to take a few seasons off to re-work her still budding line.

“She will look over the past seasons to determine what worked and what didn’t work so that she may design clothing that will appeal to her fans,” the rep continues.

The reality star — who’s filming her fifth and final season of The Hills (premieres April 6) — launched the Lauren Conrad Collection in fall 2007. It features mostly jersey dresses named after friends that range from $100 to $215.

According to the New York Post, which first reported the news, showrooms recently received a memo saying delivery of spring and summer lines had been canceled.

In March, Conrad — who was often filmed for The Hills in class at Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising — told Us that after the show ended, she’d be able to “spend more time doing what I really love — fashion and design.”

Last July, Conrad told Us she wasn’t bothered when West Hollywood boutique Kitson stopped carrying her line.

“I spend the most amount of time on the line, and it’s the thing that makes me the least amount of money,” she told Us.

Conrad is still the face of Avon’s Mark makeup, and her first book L.A. Candy hits stores June 16.

Hey visitors!

I finally got the blog up and running, so I can start posting news again! Sorry for the wait! If you would like to read what happened to the site, I created a page that is linked in the top right-hand corner of the screen. But most importantly, THE GALLERY IS BACK OPEN! It currently only has about 4000 images (in comparison to the 30,000+ I had before the site was deleted), but its progress! I have a couple helpers that are adding photos and so am I. I am just very busy with school and work right now, so it is taking a lot longer than I wish it would. If there are any albums that you see missing from the gallery, and you have copies of the photos, please send them to me in a .zip file and I will add them to the gallery as soon as possible! Also, Mike from Photogenic Designs is currently working a new layout for the site, so we can get rid of this icky basic template! Hopefully it will be up sometime within the next week, so keep checking back for that!
