The latest addition to the ever expanding M.J. empire is the recession-friendly basics line Jacob by Marc Jacobs, which hit stores this past week. Everything—with the exception of a set of straw fedoras—is under $100, including a cashmere sweater, some playfully bright bangles, even a leather-trimmed tote. But as much as I love the idea of accessible Marc Jacobs, I’m still a little torn over just how wide this designer can spread himself and still feel fresh and innovative. I mean, a T-shirt can be anywhere from $10 to $1000 depending on which level you want to shop at. What do you think?

This past week, I held a Motives® Muse Event in New York. The event was phenomenal, as everyone absolutely loved Motives® by Loren Ridinger make up.

What an exciting few days it has been! I’m absolutely exhausted, but I feel wonderful! Last night, I hosted the first-ever Motives by Loren Ridinger Muse event for beauty editors from some of the top fashion and beauty magazines out there. I’m talking Good Housekeeping, Lucky, SELF, Allure, US Weekly — it was fantastic! I showed several looks inspired by some of the most gorgeous women in history–think Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, etc. The editors were very impressed with the line. I can’t wait to share photos from the fabulous event with you. I’ll upload them for you as soon as I decompress, whew! Here are some images from the event invitation to tide you over. Until then, I’m going to reward myself with a nice, warm bubble bath and a long nap!
Lots of Love,
Loren

Just this morning, I received a number of emails from fellow MyFashionCents.com readers congratulating me on the Python Loren Hobo bag from Adriana Castro.
Well, even more exciting news is on the way! Popular handbag website, Bag Snob, just did a write-up on the Python Loren Hobo bag from Adriana Castro as well! I can’t tell you how excited I am, not to mention, how much I really love this bag, not only for its luxurious and ultra-soft, exotic python skin, but also for its size — I can carry the kitchen sink and more in this one ;)
Also wanted to remind everyone about the giveaway that I’m running for the Python Loren Hobo, so be sure to enter for your chance to win a Python Loren Hobo bag. For those wanting to pre-order one, you can do so here for a limited time only.
Love,
Loren
