Rock the color block for under $50 this season! 2012 summer color blocking is simple to do on the cheap – you don’t have to invest a lot of money to stay on trend. Everything from shoes to bags to dresses are fabulous pieces for color blocking. Don’t let 2012 summer color blocking confuse you. A modern, minimalist silhouette is pure perfection (and easy on the wallet!) with my color blocking picks below. For under $50, you can’t go wrong with these bold blasts of color. xo

Ponytail Hairstyles for the Beach

Long, luxurious beach days are almost here! Worrying about hair and makeup while on the beach should be the furthest thing from our minds so I went in search of easy ponytail hairstyles to help us out! Most importantly, ponytail hairstyles for the beach should be low-maintenance and no fuss. Which of the four ponytail hairstyles below suits you best for the beach? A high, teased ponytail or a low ponytail? Do you like to wrap your hair around the band for a more polished look?

Ombre Nails and Hairstyles

Loren Ridinger — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:24:37 +0000

Long gone are the days where having roots (omg!) was embarrassing. Two-tone ombre hairstyles are super sexy and easy to maintain during summer when those routine salon appointments fall to the wayside. A-list actresses like Sarah Jessica Parker, Drew Barrymore, Jessica Biel have been rocking this trend for years and Victoria’s Secret Angel Lily Aldridge has one of the top most requested ombre hairstyles in the country! You can also play around with ombre nails this season. Check out my ombre hair and nails inspiration below!

What to Wear to a Wedding in Summer

Loren Ridinger — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:41:39 +0000

Invited to a summer wedding? It seems like every weekend is a wedding! What to wear to a summer wedding can be tricky with unpredictable weather and outdoor venues but I think I’ve found the perfect outfit! This twist front dress is insanely flattering and in a light color that won’t compete with the bride but still keep you cool. A snake print box clutch adds some edge and the gold statement necklace compliments the gorgeous peach suede Charlotte Olympia platforms (love). As far as beauty goes for a summer wedding, simple and clean is the way to go. The wavy hairstyle below is a great option, especially on a hot day!

Motives for La La Debuts on VH1′s Full Court Life Tonight!

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:15:29 +0000

Tonight’s the night to tune in to La La’s Full Court Life! I am so excited for everyone to see behind the scenes of our Motives for La La launch at Market America World Conference this year. Back in February, La La came to Miami to kick off the Motives for La La brand in front of 20,000+ people and – not to give it all away! – but everyone just fell in love with her and the remarkable new products.

Motives for La La is absolutely amazing and has received so many praises for its color pigmentation and high quality. It has been such a joy to collaborate with my family La La Anthony on this cosmetics line for Motives. Please tune in to La La’s Full Court Lifetonight on VH1 at 9pm and see the magic for yourself! Tweet me @lorenridinger during the show! Xoxo

2012 Orange Lipsticks for Summer

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 14 May 2012 15:08:20 +0000

Everyone is really into bright lip colors this season! With so many fun, bold orange lipsticks for summer, I’ve narrowed it down to my three Motives favorites. I even added a tangerine gloss for ladies who prefer lipgloss over orange lipstick! Orange lipstick for 2012 can be intimidating at first but remember to keep the rest of your face minimal and fresh with the focus on your gorgeous new lip color. Have you tried orange lipstick yet? What are you waiting for! xo

I think it’s time to bring back my weekly shoe feature!

Whoever said pink and red don’t go together have clearly never seen this shoe before ;) They are to die for! I just love these Christian Louboutin pink peep toes I can’t look away from the fabulous princess pink color. It’s edgy but feminine at the same time and we all know you can’t go wrong with that gorgeous red sole. Wearing them with white or black will make them stand out even more. Have you ever seen such a sexy shoe? Would you wear these Christian Louboutin pink peep toes?

How to Wear A Peplum Top

Loren Ridinger — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:01:09 +0000

We’re used to hearing about peplum skirts and peplum dresses, but what about a peplum top? Here is an interesting twist – rock it on top instead of the bottom and you get an entirely different vibe. The peplum shirt ensemble I put together below literally features six different trends (peplum, gold necklace, leather leggings, pointy toe pumps, neon pink and a bun!) but it is possible to wear them together and pull it off for a chic look. I would definitely wear a peplum top for a night out! Would you?
