Lauren Collins talks style and shopping

The Toronto Star talked to Lauren Collins recently about her shopping habits as well as the upcoming Degrassi Goes Hollywood movie. Lauren discussed some of her favourite Toronto shops such as Robber at 863 Queen St. W. and Vintage 69 at 1100 Queen St. W. She named the Olson twins as her style icons and said that she loves going through her grandmother’s closet.

On the Degrassi Goes Hollywood movie, Lauren said:

“The movie ends with Paige in a pretty dark place – I hope she can get out of that funk. Relationships that have bloomed for nine years are threatened. I can’t believe I’ve been on the show for nine years.”

committed to becoming an “actor of substance.” The star of Jay and Silent Bob
Go Canadian, Eh?, Manny blows an opportunity to star in Mewes’ feature and
then heads on a road trip to L.A. to win the role and realize her dream.”
