Ask and Tell: Beyonce’s Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag

Arianne May 12, 2017May 12, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Beyonce’s Gucci Loved Bag aka the Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag.

You Asked: Hey 1966! I like that Loved bag I’ve been seeing the Queen with! I saw someone call it the Loved Bag. You know the one with the florals? Who makes that?

Ask and Tell: Beyonce’s Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag

The Verdict: Thanks for the question, we have noticed Queen Bey toting the Gucci Loved Bag around quite a bit too! The bag is actually the Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag. Quite a splurge if you are thinking of adding it to your closet. It retails for $2,700 and can be found right on the Gucci website.

Furthermore, if 2700 is steep there is a slightly (and we mean slight) cheaper Gucci Marmont handbag. Just as cute and chic with florals. Instead of reading “Loved” it says “Modern.” This bag will run you only $2,590.

Now getting back to the Queen. We have seen the CFDA Fashion Icon winner with this particular bag on the Gram at least twice now. The first time she was outside you know just getting fresh air and slaying for the cameras in distressed denim and Alberta Ferreti sheer blouse ($1200). Take two occurred when Bey wore a yellow satin Hellessy ‘Akim’ coat and the Minaroe ‘Aliyah’ gown ($120).

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.

Arianne May 9, 2017May 9, 2017Leave a Comment

Imagine running in a shoe that literally leaves nothing but air beneath your feet. Sound farfetched? Having a bit of a Marty McFly “in the future” fashion moment? Well, the new Nike tech is pioneering an innovative design making the impossible possible. In the just released Nike Kiss My Air Ad Campaign Starring Winnie Harlow Nike reveals their Nike Air Vapormax. Kicks that are extremely lightweight, comfy, supportive yet with stretch. Ladies welcome to a new era!

Nike Kiss My Air Ad Campaign Starring Winnie Harlow

How did Nike achieve more air? Their new shoe contains a cushioning system which provides the wearer with more bounce as well as flexibility. Moreover, there are absolutely no additional structural elements (no foam layer) which results in nothing but air being found underfoot. Cool right?

Well, making a an awesome product is one thing. However, choosing the right face and personage to market such product is another. Nike shared why chose model Winnie Harlow to bring the Vapormax to the masses. Nike states,

“When you refuse to be held down by convention, even the ground starts feeling a lot like Air. Whether she’s killing the runway or challenging perceptions of beauty in her industry, Winnie Harlow defies standards to set her own. Measure up to yourself, never others. Nike Air Vapor Max Asphalt is here.”

We are always happy to see more models of color have the opportunity shine bright in a brand’s ad campaign. Winnie Harlow is just as excited about this particular accomplishment. Harlow explains,

“I can’t believe this… I have a Nike campaign. One of my ultimate goals in life and I really didn’t think I’d accomplish it so soon. But by the grace of God, I am really apart of the Nike family and I’m so honored.

I’ve seen my face on billboards and in Times Square and it’s always such a special feeling. But my heart jumped when I passed Nike and saw my hard work plastered and blown up for everyone to see on the inside and outside of the stores. Thank you guys for continuing to allow me to inspire. Thank you to my team for believing in me and thank Nike for welcoming me to the Fam.”

Congratulations Winnie on the ad campaign it is so well-deserved! Want to cop a pair of Nike’s new Air Vapor Max Asphalt shoe? It is available now! A pair will cost you around $260 plus tax.

BOLD HAIR! Obsessed with India Westbrooks Blue Haircolor

Arianne May 8, 2017May 8, 2017Leave a Comment

India Westbrook’s new two tone blue haircolor is HAWT! Westbrook is never shy when it comes to a bottle of hair dye. The social darling has been a blonde with more fun to a sassy fire engine redhead. However, her current haircut is what dye dreams are made of!

We love how the darker blue transitions into an equally fun light blue. Plus, did you get a load of her divine cut and finger waves combo? The entire look is killer and makes us want to grab a pair of scissors and bottle of blue dye.

India’s awesome blue haircolor was created by celebrity stylist, Christol Williams. Christol is a master color expert as well as cutting specialist. If you can’t get an appointment keep on the lookout for her in-depth Hair Color Symposiums. The next one is in June.

BOLD HAIR! Obsessed with India Westbrooks Blue Haircolor

Thinking about dying your strands with a super vibrant hair color? There are a few things to keep in mind that no one might tell you. These next details should keep down any shock factor.

Cold Showers– It is recommended to wash your color treated strands with cold water to prevent fading. We’re getting chills just thinking about it.
Fadeeeee– You may think of Teyana Taylor dancing in a music video, but we mean your cool Instagram worthy haircolor. Coming from the salon you’ll look amazing but the fading will begin after about a week and when you go to cleanse/condition. Color-safe products will help some but the original vibrancy will still be lost to a slightly less awesome shade.
Process Princess– Getting the color you want depends on your natural hair shade. The darker it is the more bleaching and effort involved. Depending on how light and bright you are trying to go it may take multiple rounds of processing.
Split Ends– Chemicals in hair dye can make your hair weaker. This is why deep conditioning is important and some choose to do light “dusting” from time to time. Dusting is giving your hair a very tiny trim just to keep split ends at bay.
Just Say No– Color makes strands more delicate so you need to treat them like a baby. Avoid using heat styling products as much as possible.
That’s So Pastel– Hair colorists the world over agree that pastels are the hardest to achieve. Therefore, know the risks before you dye your hair. If it seems like too much try using a wig or extensions to get the look you desire. Dead, dried out colorized strands is not cute on anyone.

Runway Fashion: Chanel Cruise 2018 “Modernity of Antiquity” Show

ArianneUpdated on May 6, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Let out your inner couture goddess dolls! The Chanel Cruise 2018 runway show oozed of luxurious flair rich in Grecian culture. Think exquisite draping, gladiator sandals, gold accents as well as wreathed, embellished headbands. Mr. Lagerfeld certainly captured the essence of Greece and brought it to Paris!

Runway Fashion: Chanel Cruise 2018 “Modernity of Antiquity” Show

“I see Greece as the origin of beauty and culture.” Those were the words of legendary Chanel designer, Karl Lagerfeld in regards to the inspiration behind his Chanel Cruise 2018 runway show. Lagerfeld constructed a breathtaking show that delivered down to the most minuit detail. Even the catwalk’s decor of larger than life pillars and stone work caused one and all in attendance to feel transported from Paris directly into the past. As a result, the entire collection is an ode to the grace and beauty of ancient Greece. Every piece as well as color palette tone was beautiful and fit the show’s overall theme.

Furthermore, what is a runway show without great hair? The Chanel Cruise 2018 collection’s hair looks nicely complimented the show’s couture. Tresses were pulled back into an effortless half up, half down style with the top portion being fashioned into a braid. Hair accessories additionally played a major role in making the hairstyle even more ethereal and extravagant. The results were so elegant and current they would be the perfect chic hairstyle for this season as well!

Chanel Cruise 2018

Several garments and pieces caught our eye but one accessory in particular made us swoon instantly. A gorgeously decorated black and gold hand bag with an owl made its glorious appearance during the show and although small, made quite a statement. In Greek mythology the owl represents Athena, known as being the goddess of wisdom. Thus making the bag quite fitting. Furthermore, being slight Clash of the Titans nerds we could not help but be reminded of all the films as well as their entertaining characters.

Nevertheless, the bag, the hair, the makeup and of course stunning designs made a deep impression and etched a moment into the fashion industry that shall never be forgotten. Chanel put on one amazing show that has us even more stylishly excited for 2018!
