Loren Ridinger — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:37:11 +0000

Spikes and studs aren’t going anywhere for spring 2012. What was once a goth staple, spikes and studs have gone stylish, popping up on shoes, bags and other must-have accessories. You can rock this spring trend at any price range, and be subtle with just a spiked ring or go bold with a pair of heels covered in them.

Elizabeth and James Freddie Zig Zag Blazer

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:04:01 +0000

Whenever I reach into my closet lately I feel like I pull out Elizabeth and James! Elizabeth and James has such wearable pieces that are comfortable but super stylish, like this zig zag blazer Kim Kardashian and Jane Krakowski were both spotted wearing this past week. Everything is easy to dress up or down – Kim dressed up her Elizabeth and James Freddie blazer for a professional look while Jane looks more casual, rock n’ roll with a long chain necklace and black ensemble. Should I add this Elizabeth and James Freddie Zig Zag blazer to my Elizabeth and James collection? I think I just might..

Spring 2012 Accessories Trend: Braids

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:00:47 +0000

Braids aren’t just beautiful for your hair. This chic texture is a big trend for spring when it comes to accessories – try incorporating braids into your shoes, jewelry and even home decor, like with this braided throw pillow! These Stella McCartney braided flats are perfect for next season with their cork bottom and turquoise is always in for the warm weather – I die for this Jimmy Choo braided clutch! Ettika Silver makes stunning (and affordable!) pieces and I just adore this vintage braided ribbon bracelet. Will you branch out and try braids on something else besides your hair this spring?

H&M’s next collaboration with Marni launches March 8 and Fashionista has a sneak peek at the Marni for H&M ad campaign! It’s a beautiful photo of British actress Imogen Poots (allegedly) however I am distracted from the clothes by the background prints and colors. The oversized peter pan collar is gorgeous, though and I can’t wait to see more from this collaboration! Are you excited about Marni for H&M? Will it give Versace for H&M some competition?
