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?

What to wear this weekend

Since I got such great feedback on my shopping for emerald pieces post, here’s another way to incorporate bits of green into your wardrobe! Weekends can be a good time to recharge your batteries, catch up with friends and family… but that doesn’t mean you have to live in your sweats. A pair of dark wash denim jeans and a color-blocked sweater are the perfect comfy combo; simply add some chic accessories and you can be step-outside-stylish in just minutes.

Check out the green accents! What do you usually wear on the weekends?

1. ASOS sunglasses $21 2. H&M denim $29.95 3. Stella McCartney sweater $895 4. Reiss shoulder bag $520 5. Nordstrom ring $10 6. Topshop flats $36

Fashion’s Night Out was in full swing last night! Celebs, designers, models and shoppers flocked to NYC, Chicago, LA and many other cities all over the country to take part in the most anticipated event of the year. While most view the evening as a time to up their fashion game, FNO did see a few not-so-stylish moments.

Stella McCartney 2012 Resort Collection

Loren Ridinger — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 19:11:48 +0000

Breaking tradition, Stella McCartney chose a garden party in NYC over the runway to showcase her 2012 resort collection. I love how her clothes still manage to show off a woman’s figure and look feminine despite their relaxed fit. Oh, and the accessories? Gorgeous!

Madonna vs Kate Middleton in Stella McCartney

Loren Ridinger — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:42:35 +0000

Kate Middleton just wore the same peach colored Stella McCartney dress that Madonna was seen in at the Cannes Film Festival 3 years ago – who wore it bettter? I’m not a huge fan of the frock in general but if I had to pick, Kate wins :)

Stella McCartney Official Designer of 2012 Olypmics

Loren Ridinger — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:08:52 +0000

It was announced yesterday that Stella McCartney has been chosen as the official creative director of the 2012 London Olympics, and as a plus, she’ll be dressing her home team! Stella was quoted by WWD saying, “as a British fashion designer it is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be creative director of Team GB as the hosting nation of the London 2012 Olympic Games.”

In addition to the uniforms, there will be multiple collections just for the fans in her deal with Adidas (the official sponsor) and the Olympics – are you interested?

Love,

Stella McCartney’s Second Collection for GapKids

Loren Ridinger — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 20:30:26 +0000

Designer Stella McCartney – daughter of Paul and darling of the fashion set – just released her second blockbuster line of clothing for GapKids. The last collection made a huge splash, and not just among children, either. Style-conscious (and petite) grownups, like Carla Bruni, the supermodel and singer turned First Lady of France, were found snapping up the XL sizes for themselves.
