A Taste Of The Orange Life

Ali Larter wore a Maria Lucia Hohan dress and L’Dezen diamond drop earrings to the Cointreau “The Art of La Soiree and The Original Margarita” event in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday evening.

Maria Lucia Hohan has become the starlet’s go-to designer, gracing Hollywood A-listers at major award shows, premieres and red carpet events. 

Known for her ethereal, elaborately draped gowns and flirty cocktail dresses, Maria Lucia Hohan’s signature aesthetic lies in her delicate pastel hues and colors on variations of silk textures, sheer mousseline, sand washed satin, creamy velvet and crisp taffeta. 

Self-describing her collections as chic but girly, Maria’s pieces are created to enhance the feminine silhouette and make a woman feel radiant and fabulous. 

Owner and designer of a flourishing fine jewelry brand at a young age, Payal Shah is a unique creative talent. 

With a fresh perspective on jewelry design and an unrelenting dedication to her craft, it is no surprise that L’ Dezen has already found success among industry influencers and discerning jewelry lovers worldwide. 

Combining her knowledge of architectural design with the teachings she acquired from her Indian heritage and Chinese culture, Shah launched L’Dezen Jewelry in 2011. 

The L’Dezen Jewelry collection elegantly walks the line between sophisticated and funky, classic and unconventional. 

The bold yet lightweight designs are modern but anchored in classical schema. 

The beauty of L’ Dezen’s sophisticated designs also lie in the exemplary craftsmanship of each piece. 

The designs are carefully hand crafted.

Each piece being unique, it takes a great deal of time, patience and attention to detail to create each jewel.

Just For The Hollywood Of It

Lauren Conrad, who was said to be dating Colton Haynes of MTV’s “Teen Wolf” back in summer 2011, apparently wasn’t dating Colton, as Colton revealed Wednesday to The Huffington Post.

Colton only said he dated Lauren just as a directive from his manager, so no one would suspect that Colton is a homosexual.

It all started when Colton went to a party 6 years ago where Colton’s manager encouraged him to take a picture with Lauren Conrad, his manager then ran with the story that Colton and Lauren were dating, lasting in the tabloids for about 6 months.

Several years after that incident, Colton has moved on from his old management team, and hired new management where Colton is allowed to embrace his homosexuality, without having to pretend.

Colton Haynes had to endure early in his career that he would not work in Hollywood if people knew he was gay, now that’s changed tremendously.

Stay White My Friend

Lauren Conrad today gaves us 5 solutions about how to get a stubborn stain like red wine off of something like a pair of white jeans.

First, the option is salt and hot water before a wash, pouring club soda directly on the stain, or dish shop with hydrogen peroxide to say goodbye to that red patch.

Then, there’s white vinegar directly on the red, followed by detergent before a hot wash, and a specialized wine-out stain remover to sit for a few minutes, then go ahead a wash.
