Since MTV'S reality hit 'The Hills' debuted last year, it's trendy trinity has had fans tuning in as much for their fashion forwardness as their L.A. adventures. Always dressed to impress, whether lounging poolside at the Roosevelt hotel or hitting Les Deux for a sizzling night out, they've become the new template for what's young, sexy and chic. (Conrad even launched her own clothing line, The Lauren Conrad Collection, last month.) The trio dished on their style obsessions with US fashion director Sasha Charnin Morrison.

What are your top fall trends?
LAUREN: I like huge scarves. And a stiletto heel looks sexy with everything.

Have you ever made a fashion mistake?

WHITNEY: I once wore these high-waisted black pants and a chunky Chanel black belt. It was really gaudy!

How would you describe your personal style?
AUDRINA: I'm more casual and comfy, but I like my clothes to have a bit of a sexy edge.
LAUREN: I'm into form-fitting dresses. I'm girlie.
WHITNEY: I think it changes every day.
