As we were doing our usual quick morning meeting we spit out our lattes as the good people over at Victoria’s Secret rolled out a huge announcement for their upcoming fashion show! In a tweet heard and seen around the world (oh, don’t you love dramatics LOL) it was heralded that three performers would take to the stage to help give Victoria’s supermodels a tough beat to step to when going down the catwalk. The three headlining acts would be Rihanna, The Weeknd and Selena Gomez. Vickie tweeted at 7 a.m this morning stating,

“Drumroll please… @rihanna @selenagomez & @theweeknd are this year’s #VSFashionShow musical guests!”

Within no time flat the tweet skyrocketed with over 9,000 favorites and over 10,000 retweets! It would seem that the masses are quite thrilled about this year’s choices of musical guest. Quite frankly, so are we! We always get such a kick out of watching the show every year because it possesses a glamour, sassiness and fairy tale bliss that any girly-girl can appreciate.

The big show will come to a television near you sexy dolls on Tuesday, December 8th at 10 p.m. The sexiest night of the year will air on CBS showcasing models Jasmine Tookes, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Lais Ribeiro, Behati Prinsloo and Alessandra Ambrosio. This will not be Rihanna’s first Victoria’s Secret rodeo, RiRi performed back in 2012 and she’ll be revealing new music once again this time from her upcoming 8th album Anti.

Get pumped for the show this year by checking out a performance by Rihanna from the 2012 show; here is Phresh Out The Runway!

Or what with it, if you have the time just watch the whole show, it was bomb!

Alicia SuggsUpdated on October 14, 2015October 13, 2015Leave a Comment

This season, Art Hearts Fashion transformed the landscape of fashion week here in Los Angeles with over 30 designers, 7 visual artists, and 1 very excited 11 year-old from Make-A-Wish. Embracing the power of art, fashion, and charity, Art Hearts Fashion sets itself apart as the fashion week that redefines what the runway can do for designers, brands, and the community.

During the epic 4 day event, charity shows, couture collections, kids shows, celebrities, and performers had Los Angeles on her toes. Fashion icon Sue Wong set the tone on opening night with her monumental, “Carnevale” 78 piece collection. 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. Celebrity designer Amato Haute Couture by Furne One had all eyes on the runway as french laces & tulle paired with stretch & acid washed denims made their way down a smoke layered runway.

Karrueche Tran Stuns In Solace London at Autism Speaks Gala

Arianne Suggs October 9, 2015October 9, 2015Leave a Comment

Karreuche Tran set the red, excuse us blue carpet on fire last night at the Autism Speaks Gala. The Autism Speaks organization spreads awareness and sponsors research as well as activities aimed at the public, families as well as the government. Autism Speaks has had the privilege of raising millions towards autism research.

Last night, Karreuche was in attendance to show her support along with celebs such as Al Roker and Tran’s bestie Chantal Jeffries. Tran wore a black gown by Solace London to Autism Speaks which was held in Santa Monica, California.

Solace London who has also been worn by Bond Girl Naomie Harris is known for their curve-hugging evening gowns and Karreuche’s Revelation Maxi Dress with strappy low back fit the bill. The dress retails for $163 and unfortunately is completely sold out… go figure (no pun intended). Nevertheless, there are a slew of cheaper options available right now that will still allow you to look as sassy as Tran. Our pick is the ASOS Petite High Neck Strappy Back Maxi Dress that is only $40!

Hair Notes: If you are wearing a sexy little number like Karreuche keep hair simple with messy bed-head hair. You’ll look very chic with a care-free vibe as well as attitude.

And now for our Editor’s Pick of how to get this look!

8 Times Janelle Monae Slayed Monochromatic Fashions

Arianne Suggs October 8, 2015October 8, 2015Leave a Comment

As the famous saying goes, “If it is not broke, why fix it?” Many times when it comes to fashion choices we may find ourselves wondering the same thing. If something is working and making us look like we belong in a magazine cover story then maybe we should just stick to it.

We have noted many celebrities who seem to apply that very thinking to themselves. Case in point, the uber talented and gorgeous Jonelle Monae who can rock monochromatic (black and white) styles like no one’s business. Of course, Monae falls into that category of women that could take paper bags, sow them together into an ensemble and make it look like the hottest trend ever. Then again, that is probably why she is star, right?

Whether she has been performing on stage, attending a show during fashion week or hitting other red carpet events Monae is straight up every stylist’s dream. She has a physique that can basically pull off anything and has the edge to take risks. See what we mean by checking out just 8 of her chic monochromatic outfits.

Alicia Suggs October 5, 2015October 5, 2015Leave a Comment

Collection: Stella McCartney S/S 2016 – PFW

Designer: Stella McCartney

Models Who Walked the Show: Karly Loyce, Lineisy Montero, Binx Walton, Herieth Paul, Afrodita Dominguéz, Aya jones

On The Runway: For me personally I feel like Stella McCartney’s collections are usually one note or is so straight laced that sometimes it just doesn’t always deliver that wow factor. Yet this season Stella really showed something new. I am in love with the pink pleated dress. The way it moves and how the dress a three dimensional feel makes we want to put it on right now. Also the orange see through dress is absolutely gorgeous.
