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..

Loren Ridinger — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:50:45 +0000

I am blown away by the Doo.ri for Macy’s that hits stores and online February 15th. Rarely do you see pieces in designer’s lower-priced lines that truly look and feel like their luxury counterparts and the Doo.ri Macy’s collaboration is beyond impressive. This red coat is printed to perfection in a modern silhouette and is only $89! Sold!! The grey maxi and belt is sporty chic ($79) and the edgy jacket and pants are incredible at only $159 and $69… mark your calendars, baby. What do you think?

Trends I’m Trying Right Now

Loren Ridinger — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:21:20 +0000

Step it up in the style department this year. Step out of your comfort zone and try at least one new trend… you never know it might make you feel like a million dollars and give you a boost of confidence! To give you a few ideas, I’m sharing five new trends I’m committed to trying right now. A colorful studded flat, a lightweight cape, a sparkly headband, floral printed pants and a rose gold watch. Each of these will transition smoothly into spring but I must admit, I am somewhat nervous about the pants! Which is why I chose a muted print so ease into the trend and not look too “busy” what do you think? Want to give any of these trends a try with me? Xoxo

Loren Ridinger’s Thomas Wylde Leather Jacket

Loren Ridinger — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 17:37:25 +0000

My family and I traveled to Greensboro, NC yesterday to celebrate our amazing team there and now we are on our way to spend the holidays in my favorite city!!! NYC baby! I had to do some cold weather clothes shopping for the trip… twist my arm:) and purchased this gorgeous Thomas Wylde jacket online at Neiman Marcus. You know how much I love a statement shouldered – they can transform what would be a boring office blazer into something sexy and stylish – and when I saw the puffed shoulders on this leather jacket complete with fur collar and belt I was sold.

I paired my new jacket with the beautiful Yours by Loren doorknocker earrings for a chic look what do you think?

Yours by Loren Ridinger Jewelry Red Carpet Look

Loren Ridinger — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:01:56 +0000

This look is all about the earrings! You can be a stunner on the red carpet without wearing millions of dollars worth of loaned jewels. The topknot hairstyle will show off my Yours by Loren black spinel and rosetone earrings (that only look super expensive!) for a bold and glamorous combination. I am obsessed with this one shoulder Elie Saab dress – the ruching is incredibly flattering and a gown is the go-to length for important red carpet events like the Emmys or the Oscars. Add a classic YSL platform (I have so many of these in every color) and beaded Judith Leiber clutch to tie in the black spinel earrings. Old Hollywood glam at its best…. love it. xo

You know I am 100% an online shopper but if I need something ASAP, I like to stop by our local Marshalls. I also realize that so many of my readers are huge fans of Marshalls and TJ Maxx… I received a few requests on Facebook last week so I stopped by to have a quick look around. Of course I bought something :) I fell in love with this chic faux fur vest it even has pockets! For under $40, I couldn’t resist picking up fall’s hottest trend.

What about you? What’s the latest Marshalls/TJ Maxx deal you scored?
