Spotted: Leigh-Anne Pinnock of ‘Little Mix’ at the BBC Radio 2 Studio

Arianne Suggs June 16, 2015June 16, 2015Leave a Comment

Singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock was spotted looking rather chic as she arrived at the BBC Radio Studio on June 15, 2015. Leigh-Anne is a member of the English girl group Little Mix who were formerly known as Rhyhmix. The group was formed back in 2011 and consists of four girls: Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirwall, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson. If you are looking for an American comparison think along the lines of Danity Kane.

We loved the blue jumpsuit that Pinnock wore during her outing, especially since it was belted which is great for defining the waist. Moreover, her hair was also just as divine. Leigh-Anne’s high topknot was just as effortlessly cool as her ensemble.

Arianne Suggs June 15, 2015June 15, 2015Leave a Comment

Tis’ the season of travel and je-tsetter Rihanna is no different. The B*tch Better Have My Money starlet was seen walking through LAX airport in Los Angeles, California yesterday on June 14, 2o15. RiRi wore camouflage pants, graphic tee, an over-sized leather jacket as well as bag with a hat and shades. It is rumored that Rihanna was headed out of town after enjoying a dinner date with Karim Benzema.

Hair Notes: It looks like Rihanna is still enjoying being a redhead, a hair look that popped back up around Coachella. Nonetheless, if you are planning to travel quite a distance by plane a hat is an excellent accessory to help “tame the beast” so to speak. No matter how you sleep or rest your tired pretty little head you will not have to worry if your hair looks alright allowing you to travel with less stress.

Alicia Suggs June 12, 2015June 12, 2015Leave a Comment

We all were not blessed with DD’s, C’s or even a B cup. Perhaps we are just a humble A cup trying to make it in this big boob world. But don’t fret ladies, because unlike your big boobie sisters you can wear clothing that they could never wear, have less back problems and hey perhaps go bra less from time to time; I don’t judge. Below are 7 Clothing Tips for Women With Small Bust that you can try right now.

Wear ruffles or embellishments around the chest area these can add volume.
Opt for pastels and other light colors, especially across the bust. Dark colors have a slimming effect, which could make your chest look smaller.
Wear Scoop neck tops instead of V-necks. V-necks draws attention to your smaller chest. Scoop necks does exactly that is scoops everything making your boobs like fuller.
Accessorize with necklaces but choose shorter ones. Don’t go for long thin necklaces that draws the eyes down to the lack of cleavage you have. You want to draw the up.
Makes the chest area appear fuller by wearing empire style dresses.
Become good friends with Victoria’s Secret. Buy padded or push-up bra they give you instant curves.
Look for dresses and tops that feature gathering, pleats or twists. These kind of detailing gives the illusion of curves through texture and volume.

HUGO BOSS Summer 2015 Ad Campaign Featuring Binx Walton

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

Hugo Boss is heating up the summer with their ad campaign featuring one of the fashion industry’s newest it girls, Binx Walton. Walton shares the fashion stage with fellow model, Lexi Boling as the two pose in a desert atmosphere. Being a movie a nerd I immediately thought Star Wars meets 2015, but the couture brought me back down to reality.

As cool as it would be to see the princess shooting troopers in Hugo Boss I enjoyed the overall feel of the campaign as it was actually intended. The collection has a very nice color palette of white, cream and even a airy light blue. Belted skirts and dresses with relaxed slouchy pants make chic comfort easily attainable. This collection is perfect for the lady on-the-go who wants to look tailored without being overly stuffy. The campaign was styled by Tom Van Dorpe and lensed by Pierre Debusschere.

It looks like the guys wanted in on the Hugo Boss action too!

Model Philomena Kwao Showcases Torrid’s Smokin’ Hot Swim Wear!

As more and more women are celebrating as well as embracing their shapes and physiques, retailers are answering the call to provide fashionable couture for more than those that fall within the size 2 category. Fashion retailer Torrid made it clear that for the summer season they want women to feel amazing and confident with their bodies. The CEO of Torrid explained,

“We change lives, we see that everyday. We see tears in our dressing rooms when girls realize they too can look beautiful and sexy in a swimsuit. We’re empowering them to join the movement — wear swimsuits with confidence, real cover girl style.”

Any woman young or old can testify that swim wear shopping can be quite intimidating. Thoughts of fluffy mid-sections, muffin-top, boob spillage, thunder thighs and even cottage cheese legs make wearing little to nothing seem worse than jumping out of a plane. Moreover, it seems that some designers do not want to cater to bodies that do not resemble a clothes hanger. How is Torrid changing the game when it comes to bathing suits? Torrid’s Senior Vice President of Design says of their summer collection,

“This collection is the culmination of two years of building and perfecting the best swimsuits I have ever seen or have had the pleasure to wear. These suits are fun and young and without compromise. They’re the kind of suits that, when wearing them, you find a confidence in yourself you never thought you’d have in a swimsuit.”

All that time designing swim wear was well worth it by the look of things. The collection is vibrant and the ad campaign showing them off is simply gorgeous. Torrid’s swim wear collection for summer 2015 is available now is covers sizes 12-28.

Ankle Boots: Make Your Feet Happy With These 63 Designs

Lori Lane June 8, 2015June 8, 2015Leave a Comment

Finding ankle boots that you truly love at prices you can actually afford is not always a simple task.

But, if you spend a bit of time learning some valuable tricks to finding hot styles at great price points, you will be justly rewarded.

For instance, if you have bad feet, you should think about buying ankle boots that have an all leather bottom since they help protect your feet from damage. They cost a bit more than other boots, but that is far less than you will end up paying for regular visits to a podiatrist!

You can find great deals for women’s ankle boots online.

There are many online retailers that are competing for your business. When shopping online, make sure that you check several coupon websites to see if you can find a coupon code for a percentage off or free shipping and handling to maximize your savings.

Prior to purchasing any booties, get them on your feet and walk around. You might only notice discomfort after your purchase if you do not walk in it before buying it. You may need to switch sizes a few times before finding one that fits just right.

Although it’s great to be stylish, avoid buying shoes that are trendy, but don’t really accentuate your body. For example, if you have short legs, wearing ankle boots will make them look even shorter. Wedges and platform heels are still trendy, but wearing them will enhance the look of your legs.
