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?

Loren Ridinger — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:17:18 +0000

Kourtney Kardashian was spotted out to lunch in Calabasas with her adorable son Mason and I love the monochromatic blazer, jeans and shoes combination. Kourtney finished off her laid-back outfit with a glossy pair of black Yosi Samra flats that are not only convenient but affordable, too! Yosi Samra flats fold up so you can take them pretty much anywhere and only cost $66. These flats will make you feel happier than Mason looks, I promise:) What a cutie!! xo

Did you tune in to the red carpet arrivals before the Golden Globes last night? I always watch the pre-show coverage on E! and from the second host Giuliana Rancic walked out in a nude Basil Soda dress, the Golden Globes red carpet trend for the evening had made itself known. Celeb after celeb arrived in neutral gowns in shades of beige, gold, blush and lavender that pooled at their feet and had a bit of sparkle. (Does Julie Bowen’s Reem Acra dress look familiar? It’s the same dress Amber wore to Kim’s wedding!) Which Golden Globes dress is your favorite?

Mary J Blige, Giuliana Rancic, Kate Beckinsale

Julie Bowen, Charlize Theron, Amy Poehler

Elle Mcpherson, Sarah Hyland, Diane Lane

2012 Critics’ Choice Awards Trend: Yellow

Loren Ridinger — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:34:51 +0000

The 2012 Critics’ Choice Awards gave really good red carpet – you can see more CCMA photos here – and there was one trend that appeared last night at The Hollywood Palladium. Yellow! This bright and sunny color looked gorgeous on three blonde actresses: Elizabeth Olsen in Emilio Pucci, Diane Kruger in Prada and Elle Fanning in Rodarte.

While all three donned yellow, Elle Fanning’s flowery Rodarte number is a miss for me this time around. What do you think?
