Celeb Designer Spotlight

We all know Nicole Richie is one of my style icons and all time favorites. She is currently promoting her new clothing line Winter Kate, but I wanted to shed the spotlight on her accessory line, House of Harlow 1960. Nicole first introduced us to her line via her amazing jewelry now she is throwing in sunglasses and shoes into the mix.

I am crazy about all of it,

especially the SHOES. I saw her wearing these Meryl moccasins and I wanted them immediately. I love anything indian or tribal inspired and these were just right up my alley. They come in brown, white, and orange (my favorite color).

Here is a look at some other shoes that are part of the line

I love the ballet flats. Nicole's House of Harlow 1960 line is available (but not limited to) here:

Nicole will also be adding hang bags to her design resume. Can't wait!

Is White the New Black?

The go-to Style site, Refinery29.com did a post a while back on white being the new neutral. I have always loved white, and hated feeling restricted to only summer time and after labor day. I think white more than ever is always appropriate (unless we’re discussing anything white and linen…not ok to wear say in your Christmas photo) Do you all agree? Here are some of the way Refinery29 broke down how to incorporate white into your wardrobe to remain on trend and timeless this Spring:

Skirts/Jackets

Trench Coat

Lace

Throwing my “two cents” in, I also think that one should also pick up some white denim. Make sure they’re not too tight nothing white should be too tight. Also to keep your white crisp and clean--dry clean only dolls.

Obsession of the Week

A color I am finding myself drawn to right now is lilac. It is everywhere right now! It is a color that can go with any skin tone and you can wear either a little or a lot of from a dress down to your nail color. So trade in your dark plums and magentas for lighter shades of the hue for Spring.

Colorful Love

I have been trying to track down where to snag these awesome bracelets as seen in DVF's Spring 2010 show. They are actually made of recycled old telephone wire. The bracelets are not only green and affordable but they also are beneficial as a fair trade product. The Bat Shop (where the bracelets are available) are responsible for teaching disadvantaged and developing artists in technique and product development. Now over 400 artisans across the region of KwaZulu-Natal are able to support their families and communities in South Africa. These bracelets retail for less than $25 and are helping people. All in the name of fashion.
