The Item: The Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket worn by singer and television judge Alicia Keys during The Voice finale.

You asked: Not sure if you got my other message. There are two different things I am looking for. But the first one is a black jacket I saw on Alicia Keys. In the photo I saw it’s sleeves were BIG. Like eighties big and I love it! Who makes that? Thank you 1966!

Ask and Tell : Alicia Keys Ulyana Sergeenko Jacket for The Voice Finale

The Verdict: Thanks for writing us love and we know exactly what jacket you are talking about! The jacket made a big splash during the live finale of The Voice which is episode 1219A. Alicia pulls out all the stops in the episode by not just sitting in the judge’s chair, but also performing. She croons and belts out ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ with Chris Blue.

Nevertheless, Alicia’s fashion was as beautiful as her melodic voice. The very stylish jacket in question is a design by Ulyana Sergeenko. The black Ulyana Sergeenko jacket features an extremely sexy plunge neckline before it closes near the waistline. Moreover, as mentioned it also incorporates very dramatic sleeves as well as a peplum style fit. The cap sleeves help to make Alicia Key’s overall ensemble even more diva. While the peplum’s shape helps to balance the hips and create a very sleek and chic silhouette.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

The Item: The skirt of Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017.

You Asked: Black girl magic is all over Cannes. I love Winnie Harlow’s purple skirt from Cannes. Was so pretty! Wondering how much something like that cost? I get my bonus soon haha

Ask and Tell: Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017

The Verdict: Purple reign… purple reign! Thanks for the question! Actually we have been majorly fan girling over Winnie’s high-end outfit as well. Every last garment Harlow has put on during her stint at the Cannes Film Festival has been a winner!

The purple and black look Winnie is rocking is from the Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017 RTW (Ready to Wear) collection. Winnie’s as well as the catwalk look worn by the model in the runway show is identical.

Nevertheless, the big question of the hour is how much does this stylish ensemble cost? To be honest for most adding this skirt to their closet is going to be quite the splurge. The Alberta Ferretti skirt retails for a whopping $1, 905. However, we are sure buying such a well-made luxury item will last you a very long time. So then, enjoy your purchase you can find it at Farfetch.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Simply Beautiful Skin: Why Consume Almonds For Breakfast

Arianne Suggs May 24, 2017May 24, 2017Leave a Comment

Beauty Quickie: Does your skin need to send up a prayer on Sundays because it is in need of some saving? Well after this quickie tip it may utter a jubilant, “Amen!” Most girls want simply beautiful skin but don’t know how to go about it in a more “natural” fashion. Thinking natural is important because so many skincare products use very unnecessary ingredients or just do not do as advertised.

Simply Beautiful Skin: Why Consume Almonds For Breakfast

Therefore, it’s time not to think so much on using only products, but concentrating on fixing skincare issues by working from the inside out. Every heard someone say, “You are what you eat?” It is a very true statement. Whatever, you eat will manifest itself in your physical appearance and this is true especially with skincare.

We were having a beauty chat with a few of our dermatologist buddies and they recommended eating almonds at breakfast time. Why? Almonds possess essential fatty acids that have the ability to combat skincare woes such as: blotchiness, sagginess, inflammation and fine lines. Therefore, starting off your day with a few nuts is an excellent method for giving your skin a nice helpful dose of skin protection.

Nevertheless, what if you are just not a fan of nuts or perhaps are allergic to them? A few other great food options are tuna, salmon and halibut. These do not necessarily have to be consumed at breakfast. However, including them in your lunch or dinner will certainly help you reap the many benefits.

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 23, 2017May 23, 2017Leave a Comment

Are you a huge Nicki Minaj fan? Well, today your queen shall be gracing your television. Catch Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show today to see her in all of her fabulousness and holding a giant butt check (we will explain that). Nevertheless, if you can’t get to a TV in time we have a quick recap of what is all going down. Here’s our warning now, especially all of you on the west coast: expect spoilers!

Nicki Minaj on The Ellen Show and She’s Paying More Tuitions!

Okay, so remember when Nicki was on Twitter paying tuitions? A very kind gesture that helped out a ton of hard-working students. Well it looks like Nicki is still inspired by her previous act of paying it forward.

On The Ellen Show Nicki Minaj continued sharing her generosity. Ellen via social media talked all about this stating,

“Did you see The Ellen Show today? So grateful for the donation she made via Shutterfly for more kids to go to college! 25 thousand dollars! Love her!

Nicki told me she wants to start a foundation to help pay for kids’ tuition. I can get behind that.”

Isn’t all of this great ladies?! 2017 is proving to be the year of helping young people build confidence and succeed. From black women like Octavia Spencer buying out theaters so that youths and individuals in black communities could take in the inspiring story of Hidden Figures. To Beyonce starting a scholarship program. Stars are giving back today in order to help shape a better tomorrow. Thank you Nicki for your kindness and we hope to see this trend continue in the future!

Fashion Notes: Minaj is always looking like a high-end designer’s muse. Today she rocked a corset as well as jacket by Alexander McQueen. Vintage skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier and some bad muh- (shut yo mouth!) heels by Tom Ford.

Travel Items: Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick

Arianne Suggs May 22, 2017May 22, 2017Leave a Comment

This product is literally magic in a stick! Honestly, it is the closest you will ever come to stealing the wand right out of the hands of a fairy godmother. The Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick is designed to wipe away even the most stubborn cosmetics aka waterproof makeup.

How does it work? Just pop the top, rub the stick all over and then wipe away with a cloth. No mess, no drama and excellent for summer trips.

Beauty Travel Products: Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick

Urban Decay released an entire video ad campaign showing Drag Queens using their Oil Stick. As we all know, DQ’s use more makeup than anyone so if it can work well for them, you know you will be golden! Check out Urban Decay’s Instagram to see the results or just trust us when we say it worked without a hitch. So then, what does Urban Decay have to say about their makeup remover? The cosmetics brand says,

“[It’sy] our new favorite travel companion. Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick is portable and travel-friendly- no leaks, no risk of TSA confiscation.”

LOL at “no risk of TSA confiscation!” However, these days you definitely need to think about it. As security tightens (which is actually a good thing) what we can carry on planes continues to change. Nevertheless, that is why this product is perfect. Being a stick oil that transforms into a microfoam instead of a straight up liquid you don’t have to worry about a thing. Plus, other ladies are loving it too!

A few Urban Decay lovers spoke out about the Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick. Here’s what they are saying:

“I love the spray.”

“Urban Decay Cosmetics I am in love with this stuff! It’s the most amazing makeup remover ever! It’s like magic.”

“My favorite!”

“Smells like apples! Actual apples not like candy apples.”

“OMG nothing like a good make-up cleansing tool. I use your foundations but living in the east coast I want my face 10000% clean of make-up.”

“Love.”

“This is genius!”

Arianne Suggs May 22, 2017May 22, 2017Leave a Comment

If you were to look up the word stunning in the dictionary most likely you would see Yara Shahidi’s picture right next to the definition. The busy beauty is currently doing press at ABC Upfronts. Yara stepped out in chic ensemble from the Solace London Pre-Fall 2017 collection.

Moreover, at ABC Upfronts it was confirmed that Shahidi’s spin-off of the wildly successful Black-ish is a definite go. College-ish will premiere in early 2018 on Freeform network. So far at least 13 episodes are on deck to air.

Yara’s show takes it’s influence from the popular retro television series, A Different World which starred Zoe Kravitz’s mama Lisa Bonet. College-ish will follow Shahidi’s breakout character, Zoey Johnson as she goes to college and comes to the realization that not everything will be perfect. Especially, now that she’s left the nest.

Well College-ish certainly sounds like a show that no one will want to miss. Furthermore, Yara’s fashion seen today could not be missed either! She paired her stripped top from the Solace London Pre-Fall 2017 collection with black pants and strappy heels. From every angle Yara Shahidi was killing it.

Actor Bernard David Jones got the chance to snap a quick pic with fashionable Yara. In reference to their moment together Jones said, “I had the great pleasure of spending time talking to this super cool, down to earth, talented and crazy intelligent beauty Yara Shahidi! She’s my channel mate! I can’t wait to see College-ish on ABC Freeform. [Wishing her] good luck at Harvard!”

Arianne Suggs May 22, 2017May 22, 2017Leave a Comment

There’s been memes galore hollering that there needs to be a return of “natural faces and natural bodies.” It looks like the beauty industry has been listening carefully. Several brands are releasing products that are so nude it looks like you’re not wearing even a drop of makeup! If this is the makeup look that you seek you need to give Mac Cosmetics a little attention. Their Mac Cosmetics Next to Nothing Face Color creamy formula will look and feel like you are wearing nothing at all.

Beauty Quickie: Mac Cosmetics Next to Nothing Face Color

We first became interested in the Mac Cosmetics Next to Nothing Face Color product after the insanely gorgeous Noemie Lenoir rocked it during her cover shoot for L’Officiel Switzerland. Her skin glowed and gleamed like a fairy dream.

More recently, we have spotted NYC artist, Tuanelle (pictured at the outset) wearing Mac’s new foundation with a highlight more popping than a grip of diamonds. Here is how Tuanelle achieved her look using Mac Cosmetics’ product line:

Prime the skin with Strobe Cream in Peachlite.
Apply Mac Cosmetics Next to Nothing Face Color.
Add extra glow by using Cream Color Base in Improper Copper.
Finish with Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Oh, Darling.

Fashion Obsession: Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit

Arianne Suggs May 22, 2017May 22, 2017Leave a Comment

HAWT! Raise your hand if you are in need of some swimwear sure to bring onlookers to their knees? Fashion Brand Milano di Rouge is bringing the heat and sexy back for the summer season. Their Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit is one seductive masterpiece!

Fashion Obsession: Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit

Why do we love the Taylor swimsuit? For one, sometimes its just nice to switch the swimwear game up. In a world full of barely there two pieces, its a welcome departure to find an one piece that is just as alluring.

Also, the color palette for this particular garment works on all skin tones. No more wondering if a certain color will wash you out in photos or cause you to look like a humongous color bomb coming towards people.

Milan di Rouge’s swimsuit is a simple monochromatic design with white striping that cinches in at the waist. This is great because not only is the color black already slimming, but the suits design layout will make your waist appear smaller. Score! Furthermore, the tones black and white will always be a classic pairing that easily looks upscale, modern and voguish.

One last plus is that this suit can also do double duty. For a bit now bodysuits have been a big fashion trend. The “Taylor” although designed as swimwear can easily be worn like a bodysuit with shorts or pants and no one would be the wiser. For instance, artist New York Taylorr hit us with an one-two style punch pairing the Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit with distressed denim pants. She accessorized her look with racy, ankle strap heels and a stunning jeweled choker. This definitely what we call “a look.”

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Amber Rose, Amandla Steinberg and now Miss Keke Palmer is joining the club! Keke Palmer hit up her social platforms and handed fans a complete and total shocker. All… hair… gone (in our Justin Timblerlake voice). With this newest sighting it is safe to say that the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle shows no signs of slowing down.

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

There are certain celebrities who just rock short hair better than any other female on earth. We immediately think Halle Berry, Teyana Taylor, Maria Borges, Toni Braxton, India Westbrooks, Amilna Estevao, Slick Woods and Ysaunny Brito to name a few. Moreover, KeKe Palmer fits right in with that exclusive list of gorgeous, trendy women.

Keke Palmer first gave us Angela Bassett (shoot, she’s also on the list too honeys!) vibes when she originally cut her strands down to a crop cut. Now it looks like the actress and novel writer is going a step further. Palmer’s shaved head hairstyle is bold all on its own, but she incorporated yet another additional fiery touch.

Keke adds more edge to her style thanks to a fire engine red hair color. Which is why we are saying, “Ring the alarm Miss Palmer!” Her look is definitely fierce and boisterous as well as not for the faint of hair heart. Are you brave enough to try out the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle?
