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?

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

Kourtney Kardashian’s Olive Infinity Scarf

Loren Ridinger — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:00:06 +0000

Infinity scarves are a fun, easy trend that you absolutely should not pass up this season! Infinity scarves are unique because they loop around your neck several times for an extra comfy-cozy feel. My new go-to accessory is this Paula Bianco Infinity Scarf in Olive, which also happens to be a favorite of my dear friend Kourtney Kardashian (who just announced yesterday that she is pregnant! congratulations baby!). The scarf is under $100 but you can get Kourtney’s look for less with a Frenchi Waffle Knit Infinity Scarf from Nordstrom for $22.

“A favorite of Kourtney Kardashian, the Paula Bianco Infinity Scarf in Olive is this season’s bold wardrobe staple. This soft knit scarf features shredded stripes and frayed edges. Its infinity style wraps around the neck effortlessly, keeping you warm and toasty.” – The Trend Boutique

Hi there, it’s Amber! I wanted to post this morning and give my mom some time to catch up on things after her night out with Jennifer.

Is it too early to think about what to wear for the holidays? I don’t think so! Thanksgiving is few short weeks away and then it’s Christmas and Hanukkah (we celebrate both) and New Years and of course we all need outfits for these special occasions. I’m picking up a few important pieces that I know can be mixed and matched through the holiday season and one of them is a great lace miniskirt which I wanted to tell you about. I love this look! Especially with a chic topknot!
