Nicole Richie has won The Influence of the Year award from The Accessories Council! Her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate collections have become extremely popular amongst celebs and style mavens everywhere and Nicole is set to receive the much-deserved recognition this November.

I love both lines, especially her jewelry because the prices work for just about anyone! See Nicole’s House of Harlow 1960 Palladium ring from Fashion’s Night Out a few weeks ago? Just $49 at The Trend Boutique. TDF!

Nicole Richie wore her own Winter Kate design on the red carpet back in December of 2009, while Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo wore the dress this past December! Both paired the glittering mini with black tights + black booties. You know the drill: who wore it best?

The Oscars’ Silver Lining: Metallics on the Red Carpet

Loren Ridinger — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:00:04 +0000

The Academy Awards’ color of the moment: Icy-cool silver, as sported by Cameron Diaz, Nicole Richie, Rachel McAdams, Sandra Bullock and Helen Mirren. This gleaming metallic definitely speaks to my girly instincts and adds a beautiful sparkle to every skin tone.

Is this a shade you’d wear, too?

Love,

Loren

Why Changing Your Hair Color Means Changing Your Makeup

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:45:39 +0000

When you change your hair color (a la the newly-brunettes Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie) do you change your makeup, too? I find that it’s a terrific opportunity to experiment with lip, cheek and eye-shadow colors. (Your foundation, which needs to match your skin tone, should always stay a constant!!) Anyway, here’s my rule of thumb, which I learned from a makeup artist-friend: If you’re taking your hair in a brighter direction – strawberry blonde, coppery red or rich chestnut – a shift to softer, neutral shades on your eyes and lips can look amazing. (I love our bestselling Motives Lip Shine in Candlelight, $10.50.) Alternately, if you’re going blonder or darker, you can get away with bolder, more dramatic hues: red lips or a lush smoky eye.

I always take my hair a little darker in the winter. Am I wrong for feeling like, even in Miami, we should have a change of seasons, too?

Love,

Loren
