Hudson Reilly Flare Jeans

If you are a passionate denim lover, as am I, the flare is definitely a much needed silhouette in your denim collection. Vanessa Minillo is seen wearing hers in a light medium wash and we just received them in a decadent dark wash. I love them for a night out with sky high platforms- dressy denim at its best.

Katie Holmes in LA Made

Katie Holmes (or "Kate" as Tom likes to call her) is sure working it these days with her great casual denim outfits. She pulls off another effortlessly chic outfit with the stripe LA Made long cardigan and skinnies. I know that horizontal stripes can sometimes be scary but the long and lean silhouette of this cardigan plus a v neck combats the extra width fear. And we all know that LA Made makes classic pieces with the best prices. Coming soon...check on http://www.reggieandluca.com/ for the arrival.

Isla Fisher in Genetic Denim

The Genetic Shane skinny jean strikes again- another believer. Sasha Cohen's gf knows a good jean when she sees one. Well- she must because it's the second time she's been snapped in them in two weeks. We all know what it's like when we have a favorite- we try to insert them into every outfit!! Buy them online at www.reggieandluca.com and even better- 20% off all this month.

Love,
Reggie & Luca

Beaded Beauty

Alice & Olivia's beaded A-line dress is a stunner. Visions of wearing this little number at a soiree dance in my head- truly a classic, you could wear this every year at a different event and still be the belle of the ball. My dilemma this weekend was- opaque tights or not?

Happy

Hasn't Nicole Ritchie looked radiant lately? Everytime I see a picture of her she just looks....happy, which in turn is probably why she looks so beautiful. Her style is effortless and I love her hair(LOVE her hair), makeup, all of her choices. I think the free, feminine, bohemian look truly fits her personality and she's been one of the only celebs that has looked naturally fabulous lately- cheers to you Nicole!

Lips like Sugar

This is probably my favorite shade of fuschia and it is even a little bit deeper and richer in person. New Sugar Lips ribbon trim layered short sleeve top ($79)- love it. I'm thinking that it would be ideal tucked into my high waisted Hutton Citizens or worn simply with a dark pair of skinny Hudsons- either way it's a winner. It's a great date night outfit or a casual holiday party- you definitely won't be the wallflower.

Can't fight the urge any longer....

I've been trying really hard to squash this urge to talk about my absolute FAVORITE show right now- the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I know that it is total unnecessary drama and silly and all of those adjectives that people say about reality tv and how it turns your brain into mush but.....I like it, I really, really like it (alright, I actually LOVE it) and can't help but get a little flutter when I know a new episode is on.

NeNe is my favorite- she tells it like it is and I can appreciate her fresh boldness. Sort of starting to like Lisa but I felt that in previous episodes that she was playing both sides and I didn't like the phoniness. Sheree and Kim can have each other and go fly a kite- if you're watching the show, you know what I mean. And for Deshawn, I'm indifferent, sweet but not too much going on there.

Ok, I am glad that I was able to tell the world about this love affair- I feel much better now. I can get back to posting about Reggie & Luca but are as you as excited about the Reunion as I am? Remember my earlier posting about the small luxuries in life? Well, that hour of pure drama next week- PURE LUXURY!!!!!

Thank you for indulging me.

Holiday Wish List item #1

The Voluspa Holiday Collection of scents- just heavenly. Decadent packaging (in this case- velvet flocked boxes and decorative large 3 wick tins- cool color combinations) and scents that just send you into holiday overload- is that a good or bad thing?:)

Makassar Ebony and Peach- sophisticated with a hint of sweetness- by far our best! You must see the black colored glass bowl that it comes in....ooh la la

Winesap Apple & Spice - cinnamony goodness that I feel is perfect for Thanksgiving right into the holidays

Snowflakes- the name says it all. Wintry, cool , and clean

French Bourbon Vanilla- I am not a vanilla scent type of girl but this happens to be my favorite. It is a beautiful rich vanilla with a deep tone of something that I just can't pinpoint- it could be a the combination of the bourbon- whatever it is- love it.

I could go on and on but smell for yourself-

Celebration

Happy day! Here are just a few early pictures from our Anniversary Event.... We had a great time and appreciated everyone who came out to share our special day. It always goes by so fast but a wonderful reminder of why we wanted Reggie & Luca to be here in Riverside.

Cheers!

I can see clearly now

Alright- let's be real, I have never been a fan of skinny jeans on my 5'1" frame until......these Genetic Shane skinny black jeans came into my life. At once, I began to start thinking of all the tops that I could introduce to my new friend- long tunics with slouchy boots for a la boheme effect, loose cardigans over a flowy tank and my jeffrey campbell black booties. OH-The possibilities!!!

thought I would also post a pick of my shoe I was referring to so you could get a mental picture of the outfit I will be fastforwarding myself into-

Love,

R&L

Yummie Tummie

Not a post about cupcakes or peppermint ice cream (try it-tastes better than it sounds)- but a new "magic tank top" as we like to call Yummie Tummie at Reggie & Luca: Click here for the details:: http://my.yummietummie.com/body-shapers.html
Hard and fast facts:
Our customer LOVE them and since we are the only boutique in Riverside that carries them- they have been flying out the door.
The tank has a comfortable shaper in the middle that eliminates the dreaded muffin top- hate the term, can't we all think of a new one?- and smooths while also improving your posture.
Slims your midsection and no one is the wiser since it looks like a regular tank.

Trying on is truly believing. Normally, I would say- don't believe the hype- but this one- come in to the store and try one on. Maybe there are fairy godmothers after all.

Nu Collective on Paris

Love her or hate her- Paris still rocks the Silk Chiffon Tie Blouse from Nu Collective! Super cute tucked into a high waisted skirt or loose with jeans- find it here at Reggie & Luca.

Mood: Appreciative

Reggie & Luca's 2 year store anniversary is coming up and my husband and I are truly grateful for the support we've had these last two years from our friends and new friends we've made during this adventure. It is a true pleasure for me to go to the store everyday- we want to thank everyone for their support and we are all looking forward to many more years of shared love of clothing and fashion.

As a token of our appreciation, we are having our annual anniversary party to celebrate! We want to invite our customers to this private event and we will be hosting cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on November 14 from 5- 9m. Please stop by and join us- even for a quick hello- we would love to see you there!!

In addition- there will be a special VIP discount for shopping and we are giving away fabulous gift bags to the first 50 customers. Also- there will be clothing raffles- come to see what you can win!!

Thank you again Riverside- we love this community and appreciate your support-

Reggie & Luca

Milo & Mai

Smells like.....

Japanese Quince Diffuser

Rhubab & Anjou Pear (best seller)

Hands down, once you take in the delicious scent of Seda France candles- you'll be hooked. Not only are the scents intoxicating, the toile pagoda packaging is so gorgeous that you may not even want to open the box but just let this pretty little thing hang out on a display table in your house (ok, not really but it IS that pretty). You won't be the only one- Oprah's favorite scent is Japanese Quince and she burns this scent in her own home- is that confirmation enough:)?

We just received the diffusers too- the best gift- packaged and ready to go. Love it as a hostess gift- you'll definitely be invited over again.

Come in and smell-

Love,

Reggie & Luca

Luxury Redefined

In today's world, luxury takes on a whole new meaning. Luxury to me is spending a relaxing weekend with my husband and no cell phones. Fresh flowers every day.......from a beautiful arrangement of peonies (my favorite flower) to cut stems in a simple vase. Simple pleasures mean a lot more and require a lot less. What does luxury mean to you??

Bobi in the Press

Fellow Bobi lovers..

We heart Riverside

My husband and I were at a birthday dinner last night and were discussing the economy with friends. And we all came to one small but great conclusion-

despite what horrible circumstances that the country is in- we need to be active and do our part.

We live in a great city and tight community, we need to support our local small businesses. There is no need to drive out of Riverside for a gourmet meal, new car, fun entertainment, fabulous fashion- we have it here.

It's not going to change the world- but we can do our part to drive our local economy and help our fellow Riversiders get past this scary time. So...cheers to Riverside!! BTW- we had a amazing tasting dinner last night at Mario's- every course was beyond words- and we drove about 5 minutes to get there.

Enjoy Riverside-

Love,

Reggie & Luca

The economy sucks

But your closet doesn't have to....

We just received a new shipment of Bobi today. Soft, versatile jersey pieces that can be dressed up or dressed down, worn belted or loose, and work for day or night.

Get glamorous without overspending. The coolest new multi layered ruffle tank for only $48- you can be best dressed and still have enough cash to go out!

Great, well made pieces that aren't disposable fashion at affordable prices- we've got something for everyone.

How I love my Hudsons

Vanessa Minillo running around town in her cute Hudsons remind me of how much I love mine. The best flap pocket jean- they have this unbelievable ability to make your tush look great with a perfect pocket placement.

We just received the newest bootcuts in Sun Valley and Pegasus as well as the hot hot hot Alex skinny jean in the dark Pacific wash. A must jean for the boot tucker in you.

Merci Molly!!

Thank you to our uber talented Molly for making this blog happen!!

Love,
Reggie and Luca
