At last night’s Teen Choice Awards, Sandra Bullock accepted her award for choice movie actress in a drama (The Blind Side) wearing a casual – and sexy – outfit that included a pair of J. Brand leather pants:

Academy Awards Beauty Report: Lip Color, Two Ways

Loren Ridinger — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:45:47 +0000

There were two big lip-color trends at the shows: daring red-pink (cue Best Actress nominees Sandra Bullock and Vera Farmiga) and ever-so-soft, glossy mauve (see Rachel McAdams and Anna Kendrick). Each tone makes a huge difference in its own beautiful way.

I’d copy them with either of these:

Motives Rich Formula Lipstick in Hot Summer Nights $14

Motives Full Color Lip Shine in Tease $16.95

Which one would you use first?

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

My Best & Worst Red Carpet Picks for the 2010 Oscars!

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:34:57 +0000

Long, sweeping and strapless were adjectives to define the majority of dresses seen on the red carpet last night. I thought Miley Cyrus (wearing Jenny Packham) and Penelope Cruz (wearing Donna Karan) looked stunning in this trend. The style of Miley’s top kept the design youthful enough for her, don’t you think?

Some celebs took risks and rocked huge accents, like the multicolored train on Zoe Saldana’s Givenchy gown or Jennifer Lopez’s icy Armani Privé creation – the neckline detail is gorgeous!

Some looked inspired by the Academy Award statue itself – take note Sandra Bullock (wearing Marchesa) and Kate Winslet (wearing YSL):

And last but not least, my worst dressed picks! I thought that the silhouette of Charlize Theron’s plum gown looked lovely on her, however the color – and the roses on her chest area? – were all wrong! Mariah Carey also gets my vote for Worst Dressed. I felt as though the off-the-shoulder and high slit were too much for one dress, and overall, was definitely not Oscar worthy.

Do you have a best or worst dressed pick of your own? Who?

Love,

Loren
