Black Hair Do or Don’t? Giambattista Valli Spring 2015

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

Here at the office we were kind of torn with this look. Half loved it and the other half loved it too, but felt the look could not be translated for the streets. Is this a look only for the runways never to be repeated in day to day life?

Orlando Pita who styled the model’s hair for the Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 show said the look caused the girls to feel absolutely beautiful. Isn’t that how great hair SHOULD make you feel? Okay, so a point goes to the look itself, but how did Oliver create this style? Pita slipped on a polka veil after first pulling the model’s tresses into a low ponytail. He then secured the look by tying a thick ribbon at the top, fashioning it into a chic cute bow. Oliver said regarding the look, “I’m dressing up the ponytail to give it a couture feel.”

This look brings the drama so of course could not be worn for just any occasion. Nonetheless, a night out on the town or for a fashionable event and this would be a very stylish option. So then, it’s time for you to way in is this hairstyle a do or a don’t?

How to Wear Stripes With Hips

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

Having a vixen physique, you know the 36-24-36 types hip hop artists and rock stars have been crooning about for decades will never be a bad thing. Nevertheless, being shaped like Jessica Rabbit can be a challenge when wearing certain styles. Most of us do not want to look bigger than our natural size, so then how can stripes be rocked without adding girth to the hip area?

The key is which way the stripes are flowing on the garment, skirt or dress. Look slimmer by wearing pieces that have diagonal or vertical stripes. Instead of seeing lines that emphasis the widest part of your body, stripes that do not run horizontally will create an elongating effect.

Oh lord we need a fan! Fine as can be and he is wearing Balmain…someone please pinch us this must be a dream. Oh but it isn’t, model Dudley O’Shaughnessy (remember the cutie from the Rihanna music video) modeled Balmain’s Spring 2015 collection that included killer structured pieces with an exotic, tribal and aztec feel. The entire collection is one of the freshest, coolest and exclusive fashions that we have ever seen, every piece is a wow piece all on its own. There is nothing quiet about these trendy designs but we love Dudley…we mean the clothes, we love the clothes. 🙂

This isn’t Dudley but just look at this jacket, we had to include it because we just felt it was magnificent. True talent was behind a piece like this, the design and execution is flawless.

2015 Spring/Summer Menswear Trend: Stripes

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 4, 2015March 4, 2015Leave a Comment

It’s official…stripes are the way to go this upcoming spring and summer. We spotted this trend numerous times in the form of jackets, pants, tops and hoodies. The great thing about stripes is that it can fit a wide range of tastes and preferences. If your guy is shy with his couture a nice tailored striped jacket or shirt is perfect to add some flair to his ensemble. Nevertheless, if he is boisterous with his fashion choices he can up the ante with bold colors and exaggerated fits.

This trend is not just for the boys…it looks just as stylish on us girls as well.
