Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 4, 2016January 14, 2016Leave a Comment

It was bring your daughter to work day… Or wait, maybe it was the other way around. Nope, just amazing casting for a new ad campaign for Calvin Klein. Zoe Kravitz and her forever beautiful mother Lisa Bonet are featured in the Calvin Klein 2016 jewelry + watches campaign.

The eye-catching advert captures a lovely mother/daughter moment as the two walk along a beach. Zoe and Lisa are all smiles and are photographed hand in hand. The silver jewelry worn by Kravitz is very modern and neoteric. The CK campaign’s tag line is “Life in the now” and begs the question, what does time mean to you?

The video which accompanies their one page ad shows the pair (Lisa & Zoe) laughing in a gorgeous cinematic way. The video also includes actor Will Peltz and his model girlfriend, Kenya Kinski-Jones along with a plethora of other models living precious Calvin Klein minutes. The entire campaign helps you to appreciate time and how you choose to keep up with it.

Naomi Campbell For Balmain SS16

Arianne Suggs January 8, 2016January 8, 2016Leave a Comment

Many of us are too young to remember the reign of the 80’s supermodels, but a quick google search will clearly show why they were so special. They were gorgeous, talented and did not get out of bed if the money wasn’t right. From magazine covers to editorials, from campaigns to music videos as well as commercials they were like Visa, everywhere you want to be. The 80’s were about extragance and these ladies were the epitome and could do no wrong.

For this reason, we were beside ourselves when we got our first look at the Balmain Paris Spring/Summer 2016 Ad Campaign. Three supermodels that can still slay women half their age had been casted to show off Balmain’s exquisite designs! Proving that age is really just a number Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer brought the heat to spring’s hottest fashions.

The campaign was lensed by Steven Klein with Pascal Dangin as art director. Oliver Rousteing has been teasing fashion fans for a few days now asking were they ready for 2016. Whether they were ready for it or not Oliver put the hammer down and dropped the proverbial fashion mic. With an one-two punch Rousteing seamlessly introduced the fashion world to as he described via Instagram, “iconic history” that involved a true “dream team.” We couldn’t agree more with his sentiments and are thrilled as well as in awe as to what has been created.

As diversity in the fashion world continues to be spread why not toss in the age factor as well? Women do not stop being fashionable entities after the age of 25 even if they are considered veterans in the modeling industry at such a tender age. Therefore, let’s continue to celebrate beauty in all of its numerous forms regardless of color or numerical identification.

Arianne Suggs November 10, 2015November 10, 2015Leave a Comment

Alright guys layering is not difficult to pull off and can give you a nice classic look in seconds. If you have ever taken a plaid shirt and placed it over a t-shirt then you my friend have attempted and succeeded in layering an ensemble. See it is a very simple look that can instantly give an outfit more depth and drama.

With winter just around the corner sweater weather is quickly approaching. As reported this trend is going to be a hot commodity for the ladies but will also be a must-have for guys as well. Therefore, what is the easiest way to layer like a true player?

First off, guys we get it… in man fashion if its not comfortable you are not likely to wear it. So invest in a pair of denim that is a combination of a great fit without having to sacrifice being comfy. Next, choose a just a relaxed undershirt to under a sweater so that if you got too hot the shirt and jeans would still play. We have found that solid colored tees are perfect because there’s no confusion as to whether it will match or not.

Finally, cop a sweater as well as a pair of winter boots and you are good to go. Once again sweaters that are all one color are a no-brainer when it comes to layering, but if you are not a conservative gent do not be afraid to play with color, pattern and geometric design.

Arianne Suggs November 4, 2015November 4, 2015Leave a Comment

Everything about this new fragrance from Victoria’s Secret is making us want to walk up to a Vickie’s cashier and yell, “Just take our money!” From the lovely bling bling presentation to the the rich citrus notes this fragrance would truly make any girl feel like a bombshell! Let’s take a quick tour of this luxurious perfume starting from the outside working our way inside.

First off, a round of applause for the Victoria’s Secret design team when it came to Bombshell’s creative and decadent look. The bottle boast an elaborate display of Swarovski crystals that immediately ooze old Hollywood glamour. Think of the old starlets who sat before their vanity mirrors giving themselves a quick spritz before walking onto set or meeting adoring fans. Oh yeah babes, can’t you just feel the allure!

Moreover, your $250 fragrance comes in a fancy black lacquered box that possesses a key just in case you want to lock away your valuable scented friend in crime. We love the touch of the lock box because it just adds to the limited edition feel. This is not your ordinary perfume, you are going to want to treat this one like the treasure it is and then some.

Besides, a great design the scent itself is a combination of florals and fruits that will make you feel like the good but bad girl (insert devil emoticon). The Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Luxe Eau de Parfum contains notes of purple passion fruit, shangri-la peony and vanilla orchid. So then, all and all you can not lose with this fragrance it is definitely one bangin’, sexy perfume for the winter.
