Lauren Conrad always had her eye on the big picture.
Ten years ago, as a teenage member of the Laguna Beach cast, she likely had no idea the stardom she would attain through the show and its spinoff, The Hills.
What she did know is where she saw herself in 10 years, a milestone the MTV show has reached as of this week. It turns out, LC was eerily prescient …
“Hopefully living in this area, probably married and doing something that makes me happy,” Lauren mused, asked where she envisioned herself in 2014.
That was 2004, and boy has she achieved that dream.
The blonde beauty just bought a beach abode in her small California hometown, returning to her roots (she also has places in L.A. and in Beverly Hills).
Not only that, Lauren Conrad married William Tell earlier this month, tying the knot with the love of her life in a romantic ceremony for the ages.
Perhaps most significantly, Conrad walked from The Hills while it was still at its peak, opting for a quieter life – one no less successful, but much happier.
Lauren is the force behind two successful fashion lines, several best-selling books and an eponymous lifestyle website that has amassed a big following.
Not too shabby for age 28, is it?
Yup, Lauren called this one.

Some have remained in the public eye, but most of them not so much. Is that how they wanted it to be? Would they have predicted it way back then?
