Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 6, 2017December 5, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Queen of the catwalk Naomi Campbell 2017 The Fashion Awards Azzedine Alaia Dress. Miss Campbell was spotted in her noire gown while in attendance of the 2017 The Fashion Awards held by the BFC as well as Swarowski.

You Asked: She wore her Papa! She must of been very close to him because she posts him constantly. Naomi could wear a sack and she would snatch my edges but her dress today is so sophisticated. Is this Alaia design recent or vintage?

Ask and Tell: Naomi Campbell 2017 The Fashion Awards Azzedine Alaia Dress

The Verdict: Very great question! Naomi is long muse of the great Azzedine Alaia so she has been photographed in plenty of his work from past and present. Moreover, we agree her wearing an Alaia couture dress is another beautiful tribute to such an iconic designer.

Nevertheless, the particular look you are referring to is not retro, but one of Azzedine Alaia’s more recent works. For The Fashion Awards Naomi is wearing an ensemble from the F/W 2017 collection, the very fashion show Campbell walked. The luxury fashion brand refers to the dress as the ALAIA Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2017 velvet, silk tulle, pleated silk organza and lace dress.

Jenifer Lewis High Kicks-Learn From Mom, Add This to Your Workout!

Arianne Suggs December 5, 2017December 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Actress and favorite film as well as TV mom Jenifer Lewis broke the Internet with the release of her new book, The Mother of Black Hollywood. The Jenifer Lewis High Kicks in celebration of her memoir shot around the online realm in mere hours. Her energetic display had us girls putting down slices of pizza and starting to rethink our fitness routines.

Yet, for good reason. Did you know that learning and mastering the high kick has NUMEROUS benefits? If you are looking to shape up, burn calories and infuse your workout with a new move. We suggest taking a page out of mother Lewis’ kick book and get those legs up!

Jenifer Lewis High Kicks-Learn From Mom, Add This to Your Workout

Let’s just cut right to the chase, shall we? High kicks are great when utilized as a warm up exercise or as a killer cardio move. Some of the benefits you can gain from this one explosive exercise are:

Tone the abs
Healthy stress reliever
Sculpt the legs
Burn calories and melt fat
Enhanced coordination
Improve the flexibility of the hamstrings
Fast movement (kicks) gets the heart pumping which in turn helps to burn more calories
Increases lower body as well as core strength
Can improve performance in martial arts, cheerleading and gymnastics

An exercise that hits two common problem areas? Uhm, count us in! High kicks can be performed starting from a lunge or squat position. Or by simply balancing on one leg while kicking the other leg up and as high as you comfortably can.

Start by doing three sets of 15-20 reps. Work up to being able to kick for an extended amount of time or even a set amount. Some pros even do a 1,000 kick challenge! Not necessary to see real results, but nothing like a good challenge in order to reach your fitness goals.
