Shanae Grimes & Nicky Hilton Spotted in Trendsetting Denim Label: LoFli Jeans

Luxury denim line LoFli is a favorite among LA's most trendsetting starlets. You'll spot the signature LoFli look on A-listers including Angelina Jolie,  Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson
Sienna Miller, and Lindsay Lohan.

Recently LoFli was spotted on...

90210 actress Shanae Grimes. Shanae was spotted in her LoFli Bluebelles Jeans on the set.  Paired with an oversized color washed tank and flats, Shanae epitomizes the LA's relaxed non-chalant denim look.

Looking buttoned up elegantly preppy, Nicky Hilton was spotted last week in the LoFli Blutac skinny jeans on her way to pick up a bite at a nearby restaurant. Nicky paired her LoFli jeans with a fabulous Balenciaga bag, classic button-down and flats. LoFli's Streamline Straight Leg Jean is similar to the one Nicky is wearing, but with a bit more distressing.

By now you've heard the buzz of Matthew Williamson's collection for H&M due out next Spring. Williamson's collections of ultra colorful, very London - right now... have the worldly air of a glamorous globetrotter. Jet setting on the the fashion scene in 1997 Williamson has infused the joie de vivre of Ibizia into his collections. Williamson's lavish designs infuse ethnic patterns and eye-popping colors. Worn by celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow you'll have to wait until April and May to catch a glimpse of Williamson's summer collection for H&M.

Since we'll have to wait a few months I thought I'd share a few of MW's current designs now available online at NET-A-PORTER.COM

I love my Rich & Skinny Jeans

I thought that the "Rich and Skinny" had to be the silliest name on Earth for a denim line. Sounds like a made-to-order Starbucks coffee drink...that is until I tried a pair on. They do make you feel skinny. I am blessed with a high metabolism and was VERY lucky in the midsection department after post-baby. So luckily these jeans fit me like a dream and did a bit of pulling in on my bits that needed a bit of pulling in!

Cold Weather Luxury - Purple PUCCI Earmuffs

Emilio Pucci Lapin earmuffs

I have several pair of earmuffs stashed away in my closet. For me they completely frivolous as I rarely need them living in California. I do wear earmuffs not for apres ski but on my occasional winter trips to Colorado or the East Coast. Somehow when I see the fluffy earmuffs I am completely enamored and can't resist trying on a pair.

Inspired by the original down jackets made popular by more rugged brands such as North Face, these designs have taken the utilitarian styles one step beyond the styles worn by Mt. Everest mountain climbers.
