Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 17, 2017January 17, 2017Leave a Comment

They had us at Tupac. We almost made this a Get Your Man Right feature, but because we seriously want a pair too we re-thought things (HaHa). These socks are already making 2017 leaps and bounds better than 2016. We are ready to do hard fashion time, Tupac Stance Socks… leggo!

Tupac Stance Socks…2017 Is Already Winning

Stance Socks continues to raise their bar when it comes to design. After the Rihanna collaboration and Star Wars collection we didn’t think things could get anymore epic. We are glad to say that we were fabulously wrong. Stance just leveled up and are about to majorly cash in.

Why socks with Tupac Shakur’s likeness? Stance answers, “In the 1990s’ [rapper] Tupac Shakur was one of the most dynamic and influential hip hop stars of our generation. [Tupac] Shakur will always be remembered for his gritty, yet poetic lyricsand his outspoken views on the system. With the support of photographer Mike Miller Stance Anthem presents 2pac for Anthem Legends.”

Bomb. So far not much press has emerged regarding the Tupac Stance Socks, however, SM is quickly changing that landscape. First images of the socks are spreading like wildfire across all platforms. Moreover, its a design that is quite unisex. We have seen both male and females have a high desire to claim these bad boys. Here are a few of the expressions we have seen in the past 24 hours:

“NEED NEED NEED!”

“Thug life.”

“Lol I never thought you guys [Stance] would cross that bridge… you have officially proven me wrong and now I will go buy a pair.”

“Sweet!!”

“I need your shoe size! Cuz you need these!”

“TAKE MA MONEY!!!”

“Them boas cold.”

“Another reason why we love stance socks.”

“2sock Shakur.”

“Gonna cop em.”

“You know I’m getting these ASAP!!! Lol.”

Tupac Stance Socks Cop Them

Many share the same sentiments as us. Also, that 2sock Shakur left us deceased and won the Internet. So let’s talk price ladies and gents. The Tupac Stance Socks retail for only $20! Get free shipping in the U.S. on orders over $25. Therefore, get you man and yourself a pair and enjoy the sweet reward of waving the shipping fee.

The socks come in two sizes so far, medium as well as large. Sucks for those of us with smaller feet but that’s just how the cookie crumbles. Cop yours now by going here.

Fun Fact: Did you Stance also sells for The Hot boyz and Juvenile? He’s still taking ova for the 99 and 2000!

Get Your Man Right: Untuckit -Shirts Designed to be Worn Untucked

Arianne Suggs January 11, 2017January 11, 2017Leave a Comment

From the day they are toddlers young boys are constantly told, “Tuck in your shirt!” Why is that? Of course, its because for one mom knows best, but also it just looks posh. That smart lady knew that in order to accomplish a neat and tidy look, her son needed his shirt to remain tucked. Nice looking, yes, but extremely comfortable, not always. That is where the ingenious brand, Untuckit comes into play. They are bringing sexy back, without sacrificing comfort.

Get Your Man Right: Untuckit -Shirts Designed to be Worn Untucked

Boys as they get older grow out of many things. Toys, shoes, various video games, crushes, yet the desire to be comfy never fades. Untuckit solves this little issue for your MCM with a collection of shirts that are fashionable and look good even untucked.

This thought alone will make any guy want to pop a bottle and make it rain. Here is more good news… these are shirt designs that work in causal settings as well as formal. GASP! The key here is all about the fit. If the fit is too big, your guy will look unkempt. Furthermore, if it too tight, well, sausage party anyone?

Untuckit shirts fall at just the perfect length. We are actually HUGE fans of the length because it works for comfort reasons as well as accessibility. The hem of the shirt will fall right around the pockets above where the zipper ends. Since most guys do not carry their valuables in handbags like us women do; they will love this aspect a lot. The shirt is an acceptable length without getting in the way of reaching for something like a wallet or chapstick.

Untuckit -Shirts Designed to be Worn Untucked

Here are a few our styling tips for guys. If your guy loves the thought of rocking the untucked look with denim he should opt for a dark rinse. A darker rinse jean is universally flattering. It instantly creates a more slimming effect. Untuckit boasts so many different designs your guy is bound to find a shirt that matches his personal tastes. Also, if he sticks to the darker rinse it will be easier pair.

Moreover, if he chooses to wear a jacket make sure that the hem of shirt does not extend past the length of his coat. If it does it will make his ensemble look messy and kind of disheveled. Keep these things in mind and you will definitely Get Your Man Right.

Black Beauty: MAC Cosmetics Star Trek Collection

Arianne Suggs April 17, 2016April 16, 2016Leave a Comment

We sincerely hope that your makeup look for today lives long and prospers. Or at the very least, stays put perfectly in place for the next 12 hours. Nevertheless, our reason for the pop culture quote is due to something far grander… that is, if you are nerdy, trendy, a film buff, perhaps from another dimension or just simply a beauty fanatic like us. Cosmetics brand MAC has announced they are teaming up with Star Trek in order to design and release a MAC Cosmetics Star Trek Collection!

If you have ever dreamed of snatching up the beauty look worn by Lieutenant Uhura (played by Nichelle Nichols as well as Zoe Saldana) then you are about to be awakened to a very cool reality. MAC promises to develop a collection that fully captures the essence of the long-running television show and films. In regards to the MAC Cosmetics Star Trek Collection, MAC stated,

“Spanning half a century, [Star Trek] and its loyal fans cross generations, influencing ideas and aesthetics of gender, race and intergalactic potential. As the sci-fi saga continues, MAC and Star Trek’s latest cinema generation join forces in an exclusive makeup collaboration of cosmically charged hues.”

Sounds to us like a makeup collection of epic proportions! Fans and beauty lovers can anticipate the release of the MAC Cosmetics Star Trek Collection sometime this September. Nevertheless, there is one small catch to all this awesome news. The Star Trek x MAC collaboration will only be available in select markets. Therefore, if you are wanting to get your hands on this collection you still have time to pray that the makeup gods answer your humble cosmetic prayers and bring the fun line to a mall or beauty store near you.
