CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG: The Drama Continues...As Nicole Richie made her way down the runway known as Rodeo Dr. on April 24, she definitely turned some heads do to her magically longer locks (read: extensions), as well as a much healthier looking body. Wearing a black silk jumper with a gold belt, Dior shades, Louboutin peeptoes and carrying a Balenciaga, Nicole looked super chic and ready for spring. For a jumper like Nicole's, check out Johnson's black Doty Jumper or their floral silk Agnes Jumper, or for a more breezy spring-time look, grab Karen Zambos' Scallop Jumper. All the jumpers in the world couldn't keep Nicole from the inevitable drama surrounding her life it seems, as more and more details from her dramarama text-a-thon with DJ AM's ex, Lauren Hastings, are surfacing. We already knew that on April 16, Nicole was out with Lohan and "just went off on Lauren by sending her text messages, saying Lauren was desperate and a fat b*tch," said the source. But what was recently revealed was that after Nic and AM hit the rocks last year, he started dating Lauren, much to Nic's dismay. This "inside source" continues to say that "Nicole went ballistic while celebrating her 25th birthday last September at a Hollywood party. As soon as she saw Lauren, she demanded that security clear the area and made sure Lauren wasn't allowed to enter the party." For real, though? I guess it wouldn't be young Hollywood without a whole lot of drama! |
STYLE TIP: Crystal MethodI have to admit, flipping through Style Tips of yesteryear (2006), I wonder how I managed to skip forewarning CoutureCandy readers about one of this season's hottest trends: Gaudy Jewels. Whether the sparkly gems barnacled Gemma Ward's pretty little head on the Marc Jacobs spring runway or clung to the leggings of Viktor & Rolf's bedazzled gems, the gaudy jewel has popped up everywhere by now. Fake or real we could care less, it's the size that really matters this time! Thankfully there is a cheap and authentic way to make your very own baubles. Who was it that scored the New York Plaza Hotel's original art deco room numbers and began creating fabulous vintage necklaces? I don't remember either but this week's tip runs right along the same vein. This Style Tip requires a little equipment but we've all gone through a Martha Phase by now and have some needle-nose pliers and craft wire (24 gauge) covertly stashed away, now it's merely a matter of scoring some gorgeous old chandeliers jewels at your favorite flea market or bazaar. Chandeliers conjure up images of baroque decadence, Parisian style or maybe a Great Gatsby soiree. The sparkly crystal baubles are perfect to McGyver into a gorgeous bauble befitting a necklace or handbag. Using an old necklace that has lost its charm (pun noted) and is 24 inches or more in length, twist the wire through the chandelier gem and the jump-ring of the necklace, secure by pinching the wire end back on itself to avoid getting poked and keep the bauble secure. C'est Magnifique! |
DESIGNER OF THE WEEK: DEENERDesigner and founder of Deener Denim, Ya-el Torbati has a way with America's favorite fabric. The collection begins with flawlessly fitting jeans and segues into an indigo menagerie of flirty dresses, structured vests, cool jumpsuits, jackets and more. Torbati's effortless knack for denim construction is firmly rooted in a lifelong career beginning at New York's prestigious F.I.T., continuing into over a decade more in the denim industry with a five year-long stint as the senior denim designer at American Eagle Outfitters. This experience led to the founding designer position to another wildly popular line, Yanuk Jeans. Deener is Ya-el's most loved project to date and embodies her personal design affinities. The line is an effortless summary of Americana, the alluring girl-next-door with a healthy dose of tailored sophistication. Inspired by vintage silhouettes from the fifties and sixties, the collection is sublimely executed with an underlying motivation for fun. Always feminine, possibly a bit tomboy, a little demure, but definitely sleek, Deener mirrors the beautiful complication of the modern woman. The Deener Sloucher Short was recently spotted on style icon Lindsay Lohan. Deener has been featured in such fashion publications as WWD, Nylon, Genlux and Lucky Magazines.
