Whitney Port: Creating My Jewelry Line Was ‘a Challenge’ at Times

She’s got the fashion thing down, but Whitney Port recently expanded into a new arena: jewelry. The former reality starlet is launching her Bits & Bobs by Whitney Eve line of accessories this fall, but admits it wasn’t the easiest process.

“I really had to explain and translate what was in my head to the people that know how to make it,” she told PEOPLE Monday night at the What to Expect When You’re Expecting premiere in L.A. “I can’t make it on my own. So that’s always a challenge.”

Introducing Bits & Bobs on her website last month, Port wrote that she “had a blast going through the bins and bins of chains, beads, brooches and vintage jewelry in order to achieve what we have made. I cannot wait for many more [collections].”

The costume jewelry line features “a lot of mixed metals and chains,” Port explained. “It’s vintage-y looking. It’s kind of like punk mixed with a little feminine edge. Lots of golds and silver. It’s pretty exciting.”

Pregnant Kristin Cavallari Has ‘Retired’ Her Highest Heels

Expecting a baby boy in August, Kristin Cavallari has stylishly breezed through her pregnancy — but she has made a few fashion concessions in the name of comfort.

“I’m definitely wearing more ballet flats,” she tells PEOPLE. “I’ll wear heels to dinner. I’ve retired my highest heels for a bit, though!”

Admitting she doesn’t have any tricks to giving her feet a break — “I just don’t wear heels the next day if my feet hurt,” she shares — the reality starlet says she first fell in love with shoes in fifth grade, when she had a pair of platforms that her mom hated. “But I didn’t get really into shoes until I was 18,” she says, “when I discovered Louboutins.”

Cavallari, a brand ambassador for Chinese Laundry, says she’s had a lot of fun in her role. “I love connecting with my fans on fashion, especially shoes, and this has been the perfect platform,” she says, lauding the brand’s affordability.

Her favorite looks lately? “I love a good platform heel and I’ve been really into strappy heels,” she shares. “Living in California makes you able to wear open-toe shoes year-round, which I love … but it’s also fun to wear cute boots, too!” Tell us: What are your favorite shoe styles?
