Eva Marcille Home Collection- Get Ready!

Excited? So are we! Therefore, in order to get you ready for Eva’s upcoming collection we thought we’d share some easy decorating tips. All with the aim of helping you to infuse your home’s overall vibe with your own personal style!

Tip #1 Get Your Research On– Do a little homework to find out what type of decor looks you like and dislike. Search through magazines, books, social platforms dedicated to interior design and Google Images. In time you can see a clear pattern of the style(s) you seem to lean towards.

Tip #2 Don’t Chase Trends– The thing about trends, is that they are here one day and literally gone the next. It’s like trying to chase something going full speed and your pace is more that of a turtle. Instead aim to make picks that make your various rooms feel good, coordinated and comfy.

Tip #3 You Go Girl!– Realize now that nothing in any space will be or has to be permanent. The home style constantly evolves so be prepared to “let go” of various items or looks from time to time. You might get hitched, decide to travel plus your family may get larger or smaller.

All of these are changes that will cause some tweaking to your home’s style. Hey, look on the brightside. If things never changed, you would not get to enjoy the spoils of open concept, rustic, art-deco, mid-century, contemporary, bohemian or traditional design.

Tip #4 Say Yes to the Test– Before you purchase anything make sure that the item passes one important test, your lifestyle. Peer deeply into your habits, hobbies, interests, how you like to unwind, relax and just simply chill. If a piece doesn’t fit with how you truly love to live just do yourself a favor and forego it.

So you how can you be down with this selection? Just go on Instagram and let your voice and opinion be heard. The three photos all convey different vibes of melanin magic; with the last two picks having more of strong emphasis on fashion.

Our favorite cover art pick for Remy Ma? Hands down it is the first look. Remy is front and center adorned in a gorgeous pearl makeup design. The art gets even more popping as your eyes extend outward taking in the surrounding melanin beauties. The overall finish is truly the essence of melanin magic… beautiful, stunning, often copied yet never as good as the original.

Nevertheless, which one are fans currently leaning towards? Here are a few of their thoughts:

“First pic definitely.”

“#1.”

“Love the first one!!!!”

“The first one even though all of them are bomb af.”

“First one a winner.”

“Two ALL DAY.”

“First!”

“Yess the first one got you giving face hunty.”

“First or LAST ONE QUEEENNN.”

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 9, 2018January 9, 2018Leave a Comment

Barely more than a week into the new year and we already have our first Harry and Meghan sighting! For the duo’s first royal appearance of 2018 Meghan stunned onlookers in the Smythe Camel Brando Coat. The couple were seen on their way to Reprezent radio station in London’s Brixton district. The station is completely staffed by young people out of a community led complex made from old shipping containers.

Nevertheless, this is not the first time the future royal as adorned herself in this high-end brand. On another occasion, the actress was spotted wearing the label’s Smythe x Augden Ruffle Knit Sweater. Therefore, it is safe to say that for Meghan Smythe is an obvious fashion favorite.

However, Markle is not the only fan of chic Smythe designs. Several other celebrity style mavens such as Oscar winner, Halle Berry, have also hit the street in Smythe couture. For instance, Berry kept warm in a stylish leopard lab coat from the Smythe Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

But wait there’s more! In other Meghan Markle news, if you were looking to enjoy more Markle postings via social media; then, you’re in for a bit of bad news. The wife-to-be has made the decision to delete her Instagram as well as Twitter accounts.

Did all the royal attention prove to be too much? Or is this a requirement being placed on her? Meghan assures fans that this move of deletion is all her choice alone, no one else’s. Furthermore, she is deleting the accounts simply because they have not been used in a very long time.

Ask and Tell: Rihanna Wearing Off White For Walking Boots and Tom Ford

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

The Item: Rihanna Wearing Off White For Walking Boots and Tom Ford. The Barbadian beauty was spotted in her all white tone ensemble while performing at the Top Dawg Entertainment event. The performance was held in Watts, California.

You Asked: Those boots, those boots, those boots! 1966 please help! I saw Rihanna’s photo on Instagram and loved her whole outfit. The only problem is she only tagged Tom Ford! So should I assume that she is wearing all Tom Ford? And if it is Tom Ford what are the name of the TF boots she is wearing?

Ask and Tell: Rihanna Wearing Off White For Walking Boots and Tom Ford

The Verdict: What a great question! Furthermore, we know it can be very confusing when celebrities and online personalities tag their fashions. Nevertheless, you are correct, Rihanna is wearing a look by Tom Ford. Specifically, a top and skirt from the fashion house’s Spring 2018 RTW (ready to wear) collection.

However, her matching coat and shoes are not Tom Ford designs. Rih’s fabulous stylist, Jahleel Weaver seamlessly paired her Tom Ford fits with a Calvin Klein jacket and boots by Off White. If you want to find this boots online search for: Off White For Walking Boots which just experienced an almost 50% price drop on many retail sites to $1,052.

The coolest part, for the concert Rihanna’s celebrity hype man also rocked with the Off White brand. The fashion label reveals that Kendrick Lamar hit the stage in Off White “White on White AF1.” Fire!

Ask and Tell: Ciara’s Juan Carlos Obando Asymmetric Velvet Cowl Neck Dress

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 19, 2017December 19, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Singer and dancer, Ciara’s Juan Carlos Obando Asymmetric Velvet Cowl Neck Dress. Ciara stunned the world in her designer frock as she posed it out for Instagram.

You Asked: This dress is beautiful! Two questions. Who designed this one for Ciara and also do you happen to know what the back looks like? Judging from the front I’m sure it’s nice, but would love to see the whole look altogether. Thank you!

Ask and Tell: Ciara’s Juan Carlos Obando Asymmetric Velvet Cowl Neck Dress

The Verdict: Thank you for your high-end couture question! Ciara is wearing a gorgeous Juan Carlos Obando Asymmetric Velvet Cowl Neck Dress. Yes, the front is alluring, but the real sexiness is all in the back! This dress features strappy detailing perfect for the type of girl who loves to showcase her nicely sculpted and toned physique.

Furthermore, Mrs. Wilson finished off her sassy look with a matching custom stole designed by Lilly e Violetta. What is a stole? When most think of this garment they most likely envision a robe or vestment that one would wear at a graduation. However, in this case, stole is also a fancy way of referring to a type of shawl or scarf.

Nevertheless, want to say yes to the dress and splurge on Ciara’s velvety little number? You can make it all yours by heading in-store or online. We spotted CiCi’s dress being sold by Barneys New York. It retails for $1,090.
