The Gossip Line – Betsey Johnson

December 22nd // Comment Here

I have a juicy bit of fashion gossip via Perezhilton.com! The latest buzz on the runway is that ultra-famous designer, Betsey Johnson, may be teaming up with H&M or Target to create a recession-friendly diffussion line!

According to Betsey Johnson CEO Chantal Bacon, “Ms. Johnson is planning a limited-edition design collaboration with a retailer that will likely launch in the fall.” (She declined to offer specifics on the collaboration.) I’m hoping she chooses Target, as I love all of their designer collaboration lines. I think Betsey’s funky, flirty dresses, adorable handbags, and wild patterns would be a fantastic addition to the bunch.

Love,
Loren

Fashion Tips – How to Wear Fringe

December 19th // Comment Here
As you may remember, one of the biggest trends this Fall is Fringe. Gucci’s Fall 2008 show was all about fringe on their accessories, great bags and boots worn with printed tops, skinny pants and dresses as seen in the video below.

This trend can be worn in many different ways. But if you are going to wear fringe, make sure you don’t overdo it. Choose one piece; either a bag or a shoe and pair it with skinny jeans and tunic top, or with a boho style printed dress. Celebrities like Nicole Ritchie and Lauren Conrad have worn this trend. Fringe can be found at all price points. If you want to rock this trend but do not want to spend that much money, check out these great pieces all under $100 after the jump!

Also for a dressier look, these Nine West boots were originally $200, now only $119!

And If you are not one to wear fringe boots, check out this great fringe tote from Nine West

Large Dakota Fringe Tote from Nine West. Was $150, now only $90 (also available in a top zip version).

Finding a holiday gift for someone who seems to have everything can be a daunting task… but it shouldn’t be! Fashion and makeup trends are ever-changing, and Motives® by Loren Ridinger leads the way in trendy cosmetics. And these products come with something unique to Motives, a Customer Manager who can customize cosmetics to your specifications. Blushes, bronzers, and foundations can all be customized, or you can use the products that Motives has provided to create an equally as appealing look– be it for your edgy, bold sister in the band, or your sweet, subtle aunt (the one who likes the “natural beauty” look); Motives has a wide array of brilliant palettes and lustrous collections suited to fit all personalities, lifestyles and occasions.

Glam Mineral Eyeshadow Palette: $35

Any fashionista would be enchanted by the wide compass of the line. If you’re scrounging trying to find a gift for someone who follows more of a naturalistic, practical look, you could go for the Exfoliating lip treatment, Lip Balm, or Vitamin C lip treatment to help them get through the winter! Vitamin C Lip Treatment $17.50
