Whitney sat down with PopEater to dish on her former co-stars, what she'll be wearing this winter and The City's dramatic season finale (airing Dec. 1).Whitney Port Talks 'City' Finale and Jon Gosselin's Surplus of 'Baggage'

For two years, Whitney Port was best known Lauren Conrad's kind-hearted sidekick on 'The Hills.' A move to New York City quickly turned the budding fashion designer into the star of her own show, 'The City,' where viewers watched Whitney move up the ranks to work alongside fashion greats like Diane von Furstenberg and Kelly Cutrone. Whitney sat down with PopEater to dish on her former co-stars, what she'll be wearing this winter and The City's dramatic season finale (airing Dec. 1).On a possible reconciliation with 'frenemy' Olivia Palermo: You don't really see us reunite. We've just gone our separate ways and have decided to do different things. We aren't really the best of friends outside of work so we don't really join after that.
On roommate Roxy's impact on her clothing line: I think that everything I have done I take ownership of; Roxy has really been a huge support system for me. While yes, Kelly and Roxy don't get along, I don't really think it's affected how I do my work to be perfectly honest.
On the The City's season 2 finale: The finale is really, really tense. In terms of my situation, Roxy and I go and have a meeting with Bergdorf Goodman to show them my collection. It's a little bit tense and nerve wracking. Also Olivia and Erin have another bout of unfortunate miscommunications, so they're forced to consider whether working together is something they can handle or not. A lot of questions are left unanswered about the future of my clothing line and the future of Erin and Olivia at work. It's a fun episode. It's a lot about work and fashion.
On former 'Hills' co-star Lauren Conrad: When we were working together constantly, we always were sharing little tidbits with each other, especially at that time we were both designing collections. So we played off of each other's styles. But no, we still keep in touch on a friendship level. But in terms of fashion we don't really talk about it anymore because we're not in the same arena anymore.
On her current celebrity crush: There's a lot that I love but my two faves right now are Ryan Gosling and Robert Pattinson.
On People's Revolution owner, Kelly Cutrone's upcoming reality show, 'Kell on Earth': I don't make it to air on that one. I was definitely around, obviously, in the office working while they were filming but I didn't meld the two.
On her clothing line, Whitney Eve: It is contemporary, feminine, cocktail wear. It's really fun, flirty cocktail dresses. Satin, tailored jackets. Bubbly party skirts. It's something you can get away with wearing to work to during the day and then kind of accessorizing it to wear out at night.
On her fashion favorites for winter: I think what I'm most trying to incorporate are fun, textured stockings. Dressing for the cold is something that isn't the most attractive thing. In order to make it a little bit more funky, I like to accessorize with either lace stockings or some sort of colored pattern. I like to play with the cute hats and scarves. I'd like to invest in a nice new leather jacket.
On celebrity style: I LOVE Keira Knightley's style. I love Sienna Miller. I think the most classic and chic and timeless is Gwyneth Paltrow. I just think that throughout the years she's really done a good thing with fashion. She's not afraid to take chances and she keeps it really appropriate for her age.
On what in her closet she couldn't live without: I could live without everything but probably the most important things to me are little tidbits of jewelry that I've gotten from my best friends and family. There's a peace ring that I wear that I got from my best friend about five years ago that I never take off. Little mementos like that.
On the best thing to come from 'The City': I know it sounds really cheesy but I really think the best thing for me has been the growth of my relationship with Roxy. We were always close in high school and then we kind of lost touch and then to have her back in my life, she's been like a sister to me and I know it shows that we have our ups and downs, but it's because we can be so honest with each other. Right now, I'm just thankful for her, to be perfectly honest.
