It was a packed out house but we spotted Danielle Brooks, Camren Bicodova and Kat DeLuna front and center. Brooks killed it in typical Chromat couture. Chromat is known for their edgy, strong and sassy aesthetic. Furthermore, many popular pieces by the label include corseted or cage elements and detailing.

Danielle got into formation for Chromat’s NYFW runway show in a sexy caged dress. Her black and white little number accentuated her gorgeous physique showing off her hourglass figure. The actress finished off her look with lace up thigh high heels.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 2, 2016December 2, 2016Leave a Comment

Designer shoes at an affordable price point… sign us up please! Designer Christian Siriano recently announced to the world that a New Christian Siriano Payless Shoes Collection Is In The Works. His previous collab with the popular shoe brand was very successful. Furthermore, now it looks like another round of amazingness is headed our way.

New Christian Siriano Payless Shoes Collection In The Works

Christian Siriano is a fashion designer for the people. He saved the day when actress Leslie Jones needed a dress for her biggest movie premiere and no one else would dress her. Also, during Fashion Week he advocated for plus size models. Siriano believes that curves are the way of the future and the rest of the industry needs to get on board. Christian sent several curvaceous models down the runway for his spring collection show.

Moreover, Christian just seems to understand a real woman’s body. He creates designs that look gorgeous on women of all shapes and sizes. Thus proving he can create for one and all and not just a mannequin.

With such understanding of us ladies it is no wonder he also understands that sometimes designer looks are just not in the budget. The CS x Payless Shoes Collection is coming soon and if you love pink you will be in 7th heaven. Christian hit up SM to say, “To brighten up a rainy day in NYC a little sneak peek of our new pink sequin shoes from our new collection with Payless Shoes.” (Shoes Pictured Above)

Pink makes sense because Siriano has been quite busy working on other pink creations. Recent photos showcase gowns incorporating pale shades of pink to deeper rose tints. Take a look for yourself:

These beautiful couture looks are apart of Christian’s Resort and Spring 2017 collections. Therefore, does this point to a Payless Shoes release occurring in time for spring? Our Spidey senses are feeling like it but we will definitely keep you in the loop!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 30, 2016November 30, 2016Leave a Comment

Prince Harry looks like he is ready to risk it all… again! Prince Harry has been all up in the news over his latest girlfriend, actress Meghan Markle. Controversy arose after some very unkind comments were made in regards to their union. However, Harry has handled every situation with grace just like his mother would have and has faithfully stuck up and by his woman. Yet, now the talk of the town is about another famous lady. Read on to get all the details on Prince Harry Meets Rihanna As Barbados Celebrates 50.

Prince Harry Meets Rihanna As Barbados Celebrates 50

Long live HarRih! Alright, we will cool our heels because this looks to be just an innocent meeting. Prince Harry is visiting Barbados due to the country celebrating fifty years of independence.

Harry also delivered a message from the Queen who unfortunately could not attend. Harry said to all in attendance in behalf of the Queen, “Prince Philip and I send our warmest wishes to the Government and the people of Barbados… Our countries have shared history, shared values and an affection which continues to bind us.”

Besides helping Barbados ring in their freedom, Harry also took part in more humantarian work. He visited sick children at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown. His visit was definitely welcomed and he even received a hug from one of the young patients.

Prince Harry Meets Rihanna

Okay drums please, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived. How did HarRih and the whole Prince Harry Meets Rihanna event come about? As all true fans know Rihanna hails from Barbados which makes sense that she would go home in order to celebrate such a huge historic benchmark.

Rihanna and Harry were both attending Prime Minister Freundel Stuart’s Toast to the Nation when they were seen shaking hands. An extremely happy looking Prince Harry looked ecstatic to meet superstar Rihanna.

Furthermore, we don’t blame Prince Harry at all for being so excited. Rihanna looked glamorous in a low cut blue gown accessorized with gold jewelry. Who knows maybe the pair will become good friends. At the very least we can expect some cool memes to be on the way!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 24, 2016February 24, 2016Leave a Comment

Chi Haircare has just released a new ad campaign featuring one our faves Zendaya Coleman! The campaign aims to help girls to embrace their real individual beauty. As part of the #RealIsBeautiful campaign Zendaya shares her style and beauty tips. Zendaya makes a wonderful spokeswoman for the CHI Haircare brand since she does always keep it 100.

Just how real does Zendaya keep it? Well, in the past she stood up to remarks made in regards to her wearing dreads at a red carpet event. The result? Recanting of statements made and Zendaya heralded in the form of a Barbie doll, dreads and all. Coleman’s outspokenness to be comfortable and confident in your own skin has resonated with young girls the world over.

CHI Haircare is added fuel to the inspiration fire by supporting realism. The brand’s Gram profile even mentions that they just don’t want your hair to look beautiful, they want you to feel beautiful too. What a nice thought!

Fashionable Mention: Stance Star Wars Collection

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

Once in a lifetime a sock comes along with the epicness of the Egyptain pyramids, gravity and world peace rolled all into one. That sock of this generation comes via Stance, the company behind superstar Rihanna’s graphic and furry sock gems (more on that later). Just in time for the holiday season Stance has released their Star Wars box set which includes 12 characters from the world renown films.

As if that wasn’t cool enough each set also comes with one bonus secret character… nerd achievement unlocked! These amazing socks include characters: Luke Skywalksr, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader, C3PO, R2D2, Chewbacca and the Jedi master himself, Yoda.

Besides, socks themselves Stance has put together one stunning website to market them. We had heard through the grapevine that you use ‘the Force’ in order to navigate the site. That was literally all the ammunition we needed to hear in order to develop a strong desire to go check it out (LOL). As soon as you navigate to www.theuncommonforce.com you are asked to tap the screen to begin and that’s when the magic happens. We won’t ruin it for ya, so instead of spoilers we just highly recommend using a smartphone if you want to give it a try. So go have some fun Jedis as well as Siths and don’t forget to pick up a pair of socks in time for the Star Wars film that hits theaters December 18th.

5 Times North West Slayed a Tutu

Arianne Suggs October 30, 2015October 30, 2015Leave a Comment

It is never too early to begin your journey on the road to fashion epicness. As proven by Kanye West’s cutie pie daughter, North West. This week a video of North went viral as she walked along in a parking lot passing by paparazzi uttering, “I said no pictures.”

North may not have wanted the attention but it was hard not to look due to her super stylish ensemble. North is enrolled in dance class that may also lend to her fabulous tutu outfits. However, West has been seen rocking the tutu sometimes accompanied by designer jackets by brands such as Balmain even outside of class. Therefore, it is safe to say that little North enjoys the look and she should because she looks absolutely adorable. For this reason, we present 5 times North West has slayed the tutu.

Brands including Mister Triple X, Levitation Activewear, Koco Blaq, Lolly clothing, Aussie Gear, and Nicole Miller got the energy pumping throughout the week as bold patterns, shorts and swimsuits stole the shows.

The fan favorite kids shows opened with 11-year-old designer Noa Sorrell from Make-A-Wish. The colorful and patterned collection, designed by Noa while she underwent her treatment for cancer, elicited cheers from the audience. A Betsey Johnson 6 piece installation from the celebrated designer’s 50^th Anniversary Collection stood tall on Tuesday, representing over a decade of fashion magic.

Stello Official took to the runway Wednesday night with an awe inspiring collection of sexiness that is everything guests love about the brand’s dark and playful edge. Art Hearts Fashion bid adieu to SS’16 with a closing night of couture this Thursday, October 8th.
