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.

Remember that really ugly sweater that grandma and grandpa gifted you while pinching your cheeks? Well, we can’t fix the damage done to your jawline or make sure no one ever sees that family photo of you in said sweater on Facebook. However, Drake is coming to the rescue this season to make sure your sweater is a little bit epic this time around.

Now before you start envisioning Drake at home knitting just know it’s his likeness from his latest music video that is being used. Drake’s dance moves have been the subject of millions of social media posts, news articles and youtube videos making even one particular math teacher an instant celebrity. Now its the couture world’s turn to remix and add their flavor to the Hotline Bling mania.

One sweater that caught our attention and that sadly we are actually seriously considering purchasing (LOL), can be found at the online store The Yetee. The Hotline Bling Holiday Sweater showcases Drake’s signature moves from his music video along with snowflakes (Aw tis’ the season), cocktails and of course the blinging cell phone (insert laughing emoji)!

This honestly is one of the most awesome sweaters we have come across in a very long time. Act fast if you want one though, because The Yetee only has the Drake Hotline Bling sweater for pre-order until the November 8th. The sweater that will save ugly sweater season can be all yours for just $25.

Fashionable Mention: Balmain X H&M Cotton and Leather Shoes With Metal Detailing

Arianne Suggs November 5, 2015November 5, 2015Leave a Comment

Let us not forget boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen that today marks a fashion moment that shall definitely go down in history as being one of the best couture pairings ever. For months on our style calendars we have waited out for time to pass so that November 5th would finally be upon us at long last. Why is today so awesome when it comes to being “en vogue?”

The Balmain X H&M collaboration is finally available to the masses for purchase. One item that we definitely want to cop ASAP before stores run out is the Balmain X H&M Cotton and Leather Shoe With Metal Detailing. These heels which retails for $199 are right on trend for the season and will give your various ensembles the perfect chic boost. Just scroll through this post to see all of the different outfits that were paired with these beauties.

Caged style heels are huge right now so if you want to look like a bag of money you will want to indulge in this look. Balmain has been a brand that has been just out of reach for many ladies due to its price point. However, retailers such as H&M understand that the French label’s appeal is a major sale waiting to happen thanks to its cool factor made evident by supermodels, bloggers, celebrities, social media models and the like.

Besides stunning shoes, you will be able to get your fashion hands on Balmain’s infamous sequined dresses, beaded coats and jackets as well as gold and black tops. Nonetheless, our final thoughts on word on the caged heels is that it is a very versatile design. This means you can wear them with dresses, pants, jumpsuits and skirts which will go a long way in getting your money’s worth.

Arianne Suggs August 12, 2015August 12, 2015Leave a Comment

Just in case you missed some of our Fashion Week posts earlier in the year we will be recapping a few things over the course of the next few weeks to get you in diva form for the upcoming seasons. Do you love accessories as much as bees love their honey? Girl so do we and we loved what we spotted coming down the catwalk during the fall/winter Giambattista Valli 2015-2016 runway show.

The stunner shades models wore gave a brand new meaning to the expression, “Go big or go home.” Models were adorned with sunglasses that seemed to take up 70% of their faces. We didn’t mind the ginormous size because some of the fashions modeled had a floral theme. So then, to us it was like the bumble bee meeting up with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Fall 2015 Shoe Trend: Pointed Toe Heels

Arianne Suggs August 11, 2015August 11, 2015Leave a Comment

There were a few choice words that came to mind that we are unable to repeat when we noticed a particular shoe trend coming on the horizon. Oh it is not that we do not absolutely love the style of this particular shoe it is just that our cute little manicured toes loathe them. If you guessed pointed toe shoes then you have scored 10 points in the shoe game department.

Pointed toe heels are a trend that is rolling over from spring on into the fall and winter seasons. Givenchy, Christain Louboutin and Coach all have designs with the pointy flair. To survive this shoe trend without experiencing too much pain aim for pointed toe heels where the point does not stop right where your toes will be resting.

Moreover, you may even consider going up just a half a size. This small change can also afford you and your toes a little more wiggle room giving you more comfort. Therefore, enjoy rocking this trend later this year and without needing crutches.
