2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show- Runway and Model VIP Exclusive!

ArianneUpdated on November 9, 2018November 8, 2018

Tonight Victoria’s Secret heralded, “Are You Not Entertained??!” Long legs, big wings and of course the hardest struts pounded the catwalk for what is known as “the sexiest night of television.” The 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show this year is full of glamour, glitz and mesmerizing angelic flair!

We are recapping it ALL. From backstage, the runway and even the pink carpet we have everything you want to see. So come on let’s get our annual pink party started, smooches! We will not keep you in agony this year. Last year, we decided to save the runway for last, but y’all requested that we flip the script. So without further adieu, here are some of the must-see looks of the show!

Whew! That’s a lot of fab looks! We loved the incorporation of stripes, feathers, metallics and even school girl chic plaid. But are you ready for more? Yeah, we thought so… here comes round number two:

2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show- Runway and Model VIP Exclusive

What other cool feature is in this year’s runway show? Well, be on the lookout for another awesome collaboration! In the past, Vickie has teamed up with stylish couture labels such as Balmain, this year the lingerie company partners with designer, Mary Katrantzou.

The vibrant and fun collab features intimates, athletic wear, loungewear and even bags. What we love the most is all of the festive florals. It is a fresh breathe of style air that still makes you think VS Pink. If you want to shop the collection mark a calendar to remember that it will be available the day the show officially airs, December 2nd.

BEAUTY NOTES: Want to look like a VS Angel? Well, you can, it is all in the right makeup technique. For Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows the look is all about au natural beauty. Meaning the models’ makeup is applied only to enhance their natural strongpoints and features.

To get the look keep the focus on emphasizing the eyes. Create full brows with complimenting voluminous and lengthy eyelashes. Pronounce eyes even more with a subtle yet dramatic cat-eye. Lastly, add blushed cheeks, a slight glow with a glossy or matte skintone lip and you will be good to go! Got it? Great! Let’s get back to the runway.

2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show- Runway and Model VIP Exclusive (Continued)

Now we have to take a moment to let out a few unicorn thug tears; because this year’s show also marks the 18th and final VSFS for model, Adriana Lima! We know, we know, the passing of the Kleenex will happen in a moment. However, this undeniable SEXY veteran of the Victoria’s Secret family will always be considered one of the best to ever do it.

When the recorded show airs December 2nd, viewers will be able to catch Lima strutting down the catwalk for a number of sets. Just in case you find yourself in a chip or sparkling wine refill situation; look out for Adriana during the Stella and Celestial Angels portions. We are sure you will not want to miss her!

2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Tonight wasn’t just about the ladies… okay, that’s a lie it was! HOWEVER, that did not stop the men from coming to join the VS party. Hip hop artist Future, singer Shawn Mendez and actor hunk Dylan Sprouse all were spotted hitting the pink carpet.

Speaking of Sprouse, the cutie scored several BF points. His gift of the night for his Vickie angel GF? A bag of burgers from Shake Shack. We stan all boyfriends who stop at nothing to feed us (lol).

2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show- Continued

Nevertheless, there’s plenty of magic that also happens backstage. There’s gorgeous models taking selfies, hair and makeup as well as the final touches on all the amazing wardrobe. Some of the most beautiful smiles and excitement can be seen right outside of the spotlight. Here are a few pics of the Angels in full BTS mode!

As one can see, this is not a fashion show that you want to miss! Thanks for coming to hang with us and we hope that you enjoyed our little recap. As one last send off, check out our little vid below. We put it together because we are so thrilled to see all of the diversity on the VS catwalk.

Cardi B x Reebok – The Hot New Deal Bringing Shoes and Apparel!

Arianne Suggs November 7, 2018November 7, 2018

Who’s copping a pair? The lid has been on TIGHT in regards to this latest shoewear development between hip hop royal, Cardi B and the iconic street shoe brand, Reebok. However, just this week, sneaker heads and Cardi fans were treated to a little sneak peek; proving that the Cardi B x Reebok collab is in fact about to be on and in full effect!

Cardi B x Reebok – The Hot New Deal Bringing Shoes and Apparel!

In a very teasing manner the Reebok, Reebok Classic and Cardi B social platforms released a Boomerang gif of Cardi in a new shoe; with a caption advertising the “Cardi-bok.” For those, who wanted additional information, the pages served up a link to the Reebok website with the promise of finding out more.

SAVE YOURSELF A CLICK (Lol). It’s a total clickbait and you will not even find as much as paragraph with a description of the upcoming collaboration. NEVERTHELESS, what you will find if interested is a sign up page to be the first to find out more about the upcoming Cardi sneaker.

Signing up is simple and no different than most brands. All it requires is you name, email address and birth date. Fill it out and you will be “in the know.”

As one can see, details currently are quite scarce but word on the street is that 26-year-old Cardi will have a hand in helping to resurrect and promote the brand’s “Aztrak” design. Also, do you like that track suit Cardi is rocking? Well, you soon you could be adding to your closet because the Reebok partnership also promises new apparel.

This is certainly a good look for Cardi B as the race for rap dominance continues to be a hot topic. Cardi joins the ranks of Missy Elliott, Pharrell, and Beyoncé hubby Jay Z as artists who have inked a deal with Reebok. Moreover, so far Cardi’s collabs from Steve Madden to Marc Jacobs have been super successful. Therefore, there is no reason to expect that this one will be any different.

Ask and Tell: HM Long Wool-Blend Coat Seen on Jasmine Sanders

ArianneUpdated on December 3, 2018November 7, 2018

The Item: Top model and cover girl, Jasmine Sanders wearing the HM Long Wool-Blend Coat with wide waist belt. The beauty was spotted in her chic coat in several pics posted to social media platform, Instagram.

You Asked: Now this a lewk! I have been online on H&M’s website and googling like a madwoman trying to find this stupid coat! I don’t think it is anywhere even in the dark web. So irritated right now but I know if anyone can find this thing it is y’all. So I will be checking the site to see if you answer this one because this coat is bomb!

Ask and Tell: HM Long Wool-Blend Coat Seen on Jasmine Sanders

The Verdict: Thank you for your fashion inquiry, and we have to be honest… this coat WAS hard to locate! However, being the queens of online hunting we found it. In her stylish photos, model Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie was flaunting the HM Long Wool-Blend Coat in Camel. We love the wide belt that fastens from the inside to cinch the waist.

In our search we also found this coat in an Olive Green shade. It’s just as chic, but for some reason we still lean towards the Camel shade. The cost? Well, that’s where things get a bit tricky. While this coat may pop up on the H&M website, there seems to be no price button. However, we did locate this look on Ebay for $89.

UPDATE!!! We got several additional inquiries about this coat and sadly have to say that the ones on Ebay sold out. HOWEVER… this look is up on the H&M site with a price now! It is retailing for $199. Here is a link if you wish to purchase: HM Long Wool Blend Coat.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Pyer Moss Wins 2018 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund-Congrats Kerby Jean-Raymond!

Arianne November 7, 2018November 7, 2018

It’s not all sunshine kids. When people see others reaching success, they normally envision a steady upward movement towards the top. However, reality is a different beast. It’s filled with ups, downs, tears, blood, sweat and at times; years of hustle and grind. The story behind fashion label Pyer Moss Wins 2018 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund; is one of triumph and a prime example as to why you should never EVER give up on yourself; or your dreams.

He believed, and so he did. Kerby Jean-Raymond, the couture genius behind Pyer Moss is a winner. Jean-Raymond won the coveted CFDA Fashion Fund for 2018. A move and fund started back in 2003 in order to help up and coming American design talent to find continued success in the tough business of fashion. Not only do designers receive mentorship from established industry leaders; the fund provides significant financial awards to one or more designers in order to help in such areas as: marketing, public relations, production and sales.

Pyer Moss Wins 2018 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund-Congrats Kerby Jean-Raymond

Nevertheless, what is Kerby Jean-Raymond’s story? How did he “make it?” In a statement regarding his win Kerby relates,

“18 years designing. 5 years with Pyer Moss. A bunch of fails, mad press, but very few wholesale accounts for a while. 3 eviction notices, mad overdrafts, crazy number of heartbreaks [and] employee turnover. People doubted me so much, I even started to believe it.

Few things remained consistent except my core team, friends and family. So thank you guys for this opportunity to rest last year and reset. Thank you [designer] Aurora James for following me around with this camera last night like a proud auntie.

This ride has been insane – we won, in Brooklyn. Thank you the PM team, friends, family, judges, Vogue, CFDA and Reebok. We’re ready for whatever comes next. Love.”

As you can see, it has not been just a walk in the park. Put did you notice his drive? He may have had to reset, rethink and fail; but he NEVER gave up. We hope the same for any of you reading this feature. You can do it too, because like Kerby Jean-Raymond we all have the same amount of hours in the day; it’s just what we choose to do with them. Keep going.

“We are one. Sisterhood is the theme for Vogue Portugal’s November issue. Out now.”

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 5, 2018November 5, 2018

Ah, we love the smell of bling in the morning! This past a.m. Vickie S. hit us with the first look of their Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra! One million dollars worth of luxurious jewels and straight sex appeal.

This year’s coveted Bra is a collab between the iconic Swarovski label and intimate apparel giant,Victoria’s Secret. Swarovski who has teamed up with the likes of: Maison Margiela, Christopher Kane, Jean Paul Gaultier as well as Victor & Rolf on jewelry; has produced a creation for the VS 2018 Fashion Show incorporating over 2100 Swarovski diamonds!

Furthermore, this hand-made design also boasts and includes responsibly sourced topaz. Also, you may notice that the Swarovski bra and body chain are set in a sterling silver Dream Angels bra silhouette. Moreover, the stunning center piece has more than 71 carats (yeah, total Rose from Titanic status). In this design’s entirety, it took over a whopping 930 hours to create! Can you say major?

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds!

Now… we know one of the reasons you may have decided to check out our post on this is because you know we always are super honest (Lol). With that being said, this year’s Fantasy Bra let us feeling rather… meh. While we are so thrilled for model Elsa Hosk to be the one to rock it down the catwalk. It just seems like this design is a tad bit “lackluster.”

Yes, while 2100 diamonds is nothing in itself to yawn about. This year’s design just seems to be missing the allure of million dollar FB bras from the past. Maybe we have just been super spoiled in the past, but this bra just doesn’t seem to have the typical Victoria’s Secret flair.

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds (Continued)

However, if you love the style of this year’s Fantasy Bra do not stress because you don’t have a million dollars lying around. VS is offering their hardcore buyers a little cool treat come November 29th. Keep that day in mind (it’s a Thursday BTW) because the VS brand at select stores and online will have a “knock-off” version of the 2018 Fantasy Bra available for purchase.

Yup dolls… Instead of schilling out one million, you’ll be able to plop down $250 for the lookalike version. Pretty cool if you have ever wanted to have a Fantasy Bra of your very own, but be quick because they are already projecting a fast sellout. So then, may the best credit or debit card win!

Tune in to see Elsa and the other Angels strut down the runway during the sexiest night on TV. The 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs Sunday, December 2nd at 10/9c.

Arianne November 1, 2018November 1, 2018

The Item: Drop dead stunner and Victoria’s Secret angel, Lais Ribiero in the Ellie Mae Ellery Bodysuit. The model was seen in her show-stopping attire while going into fittings for the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

You Asked: Hi 1966, just a little curious about a outfit that I saw on Lais Ribiero. I looked around and no one seems to know where she got it from, so I thought I would finally just come on your Insta and ask lol My question is about Lais’ top and jacket. I love the shine! It feels so 70’s but like not old, old.

Ask and Tell: Ellie Mae Ellery Bodysuit As Seen on Lais Ribiero

The Verdict: Hey there, and thanks for reaching out! We too adore Ribiero’s stylish ensemble! The top VS model is actually wearing a bodysuit instead of a “traditional” top. It is by fashion brand Ellie Mae and it is known as the “Ellery.” Currently, this dazzling look is retailing for $148.39.

Not a fan of black? No problem! With a little fashion investigation we found that this particular bodysuit as comes in a pinkish hue as well. Ellie Mae refers to the tone as “Rosewater.” So then, if you do like this bodysuit, but want to lighten things up a bit; you certainly can!

Nevertheless, let’s also get into that ULTRA cute jacket. Lais paired her sparkling Ellie Mae bodysuit with a design by Naeem Khan. The striped garment is from the label’s Fall/Winter 2018 collection.
