Celebs like Rachel Zoe, Sofia Vergara and Vanessa Hudgens have been spotted embracing the chic ’70s look that is flared denim. I can’t wait to add a pair to my wardrobe for the new year! Between skinny jeans and wide leg jeans, flares are going to completely refresh my look – throw them on with platform Louboutins and you are talking about some seriously long legs.

Hey guys it’s Amber! Here are my picks for amazing fall hats – I am obsessed with the Rag & Bone Brim Fedora I just got mine and wear it all the time :) All the celebs have been wearing it and is a must have for the season.

Which is your favorite?

Coats for Curvy Girls

Loren Ridinger — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:28:33 +0000

I’m not really a big fan of the cold but it’s pretty much impossible to ignore the huge snowstorm that just hit the Northeast last weekend. I need to stop being in denial and give in and go shopping for a coat! So far there are three really fab and affordable coats for curvy girls and don’t know which to choose! Help? Here are three tips to keep in mind when shopping for coats that flatter a woman’s curves!

Draw attention UP. Faux-fur neck details on this coat from H&M divert eyes from the hips.
Confidence is everything! Rock a bold color and a belt at the waist to show off your hourglass figure with this option from ASOS.
Capes like this fleece one actually look great on everyone, but keep the volume on top and opt for body-conscious bottoms.

What do I wear to a beach wedding?

Loren Ridinger — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 15:35:27 +0000

Lovely and loyal reader Nikki wrote in asking me about proper beach wedding attire for an upcoming wedding she is going to in Mexico (luckyyy!). Here’s my advice for creating the perfect beach wedding look for Nikki and her husband:

For Nikki>> nothing says beach wedding more than a simple, tropical-colored maxi dress and I personally love this coral option from ASOS ($59). Paired with a flat, gold sandal ($10), you will look like you’re on the beach to actually attend an event, not get a tan.

For the husband>> Khaki pants ($33), a crisp, white button down shirt ($65) and leather flip flops ($40) are a classic combination for men attending a beach wedding. Just make sure to undo a few top buttons and roll up the sleeves so that you appear relaxed, not stuffy.

Fall Fashion Trend: the Peter Pan collar

Loren Ridinger — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:47:14 +0000

Once reserved for young kiddos, peter pan collars are popping up on everything from coats to blouses to dresses for grown women this fall. This fall fashion trend is charming and feminine and I’ve even seen peter pan collars made in leather! Faux fur for the winter, perhaps? My personal peter pan favorite is this ASOS peter pan collar nude dress that is only $31!

Update this look for fall with black tights and black platforms!

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

When I heard that Glee‘s Lea Michele wore a dress from ASOS (one of my affordable faves) to FX’s American Horror Stories premiere, I immediately went in search of it for you guys. After 20 minutes and absolutely no luck, the “dress” finally popped up. In the Women’s Tops section.

Yes, Lea Michele wore a shirt as a dress to a red carpet event. And yes, she looked fab.

You can snag Lea Michele’s ASOS Lace High Neck Cut Out dress/shirt for just $52.38.

The best everyday shoe

Loren Ridinger — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 15:05:12 +0000

A girlfriend of mine recently sought my advice on the “perfect, everyday shoe.” My suggestion? A loafer! With summer on its way out, flip flops are a no-go and your flats have probably seen better days. It’s time to upgrade to some fun and fancy loafers; I’ve found a pair in every price range.

1. Nordstrom, Jeffrey Campbell loafer $115 2. ASOS metallic loafer $55 3. Zara leopard loafer $7.99 4. Bergdorf Goodman, Kate Spade red loafer $225 5. JCPenney moccasin loafer $30

Eva Longoria wears a $35 dress on the red carpet

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 19:36:48 +0000

At the end of July my girl Eva Longoria rocked the Microsoft Imagine Cup Worldwide Finals in a $35 dress. It doesn’t get much better than that and we can all learn a thing or two from Eva. The burnt orange color, exposed zipper and shift silhouette are trendy details –> a perfect example of why you save on of-the-moment pieces and splurge on the classics. Love it?
