Lauren Conrad is decking the halls in a stunning new holiday spread for Good Housekeeping magazine.

The 30-year-old, who models everything from festive dresses to cozy sweaters in the spread, dished about her life with her husband William Tell, revealing that she loves to spend the holidays with his family. 

'One of my favorite new traditions, which is from my husband William’s family, is going over on Christmas morning in our pajamas,' she told the magazine. 'It’s really sweet — his mom drops off a set for me so we’ll all match.'

In one of the images from the shoot, Lauren is modeling a red and blue floral dress from French Connection as she poses next to a Christmas tree. 

When it comes to festive holiday looks, Lauren insists you don't need to splurge on a ton of new outfits to look fashionable.  

'If you go to a lot of holiday parties, it’s good to invest in accessories that can help mix up a little black dress, such as a cool embellished jacket, a statement necklace or fun heels,' she said.

'Buying a new outfit for every party can get costly — I like having fun with accessories instead.' 

Holidays: Lauren is featured in the December 2016 issues of the magazine 

Another image from the shoot sees the designer putting together holiday place settings, and while she is known for her love of decoration, she admits that she has trouble keeping her party guests out of the kitchen. 

'No matter where I’m trying to entertain, everybody ends up in the kitchen,' she said. 'Wherever the food and drinks are that’s where they’ll be. 

'I try to drag them to other rooms. I’m like, "Come on guys, I’ve decorated this whole room," but they don’t care. They’re like, “The cheese platter is here."'

Lauren is known for her feminine style, and she admitted that when William first moved into her apartment, it was 'very girly'. 

'When we got our first place together, I definitely had to learn to compromise,' she said. 'I’ve never had to do that before. I mean, a little bit with my roommates, but I think it’s good and I think that your home should represent both of you and both of your styles. 

Casual outings: Lauren said she and William like to go to places where she doesn't have to wear make-up on their date nights 

Accessories are key: Lauren, who is pictured at her brand's pop-up shop in September, insisted that you don't have to buy a ton of new outfits for the holiday season 

'It’s definitely a blend of our tastes. I think he’s toned down my girly a little bit, which is good because I’m an adult and everything can’t be pink. It’s fun.'

The entrepreneur also dished about their date nights, explaining that they are usually 'pretty casual'.  

'We have a local sushi place that we really like to go to,' she said. 'I love a place that you don’t have to put makeup on to go to. You can just go, have a glass of wine, eat dinner, and have a really relaxing night. 

'Those are our favorite nights because we have busy days.'
