Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70!

ArianneUpdated on April 2, 2018April 2, 2018Leave a Comment

The Item: Singer and entertainer, Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit. The musical artist was spotted in her floral frock while out enjoying a date with her NFL hubby, Russell Wilson.

You Asked: Okay, I kind of just need a little confirmation. I think I found Ciara’s jumpsuit online but the price is throwing me off. This look is by ZARA right? BTW I am in the US.

Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70

The Verdict: Thanks for the couture question and yes, you are correct! Cici’s cute jumpsuit is by the ZARA fashion label. The brand describes its design as a “long jumpsuit with floral print and contrasting piping detail. [It also] features a lapel collar, V-neckline, long sleeves, front pockets and buttoned cuffs.” For these reasons, the brand named this ensemble, the ZARA Printed Jumpsuit.

Moving on to price we can completely understand why there might be some confusion. ZARA’s website is not always automatically set to the country that you reside in. For instance, the printed jumpsuit you are desiring on our end reads as 79.90CAD. This is Canadian money, so not quite helpful to someone wanting to pay in dollars. However, the equivalent amount in American money would be around $62. Watch for prompts because many times ZARA will have popups asking if you want to change the currency.

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.

ArianneUpdated on March 29, 2018March 29, 2018Leave a Comment

Forget Surgery! The Bra Bridge Instantly Enhances Any Bust Size

If we all were born with the Ta-Tas of a Victoria’s Secret model there would be little room for complaint. However, this is not a perfect world with a utopia of perfectly shaped melons. Therefore, that means some of us are in need of a little bit of help.

No problem. Bridge the gap (literally) between you and the perfect breast crew with the help of the Bra Bridge. We fortunately got the lowdown on why this product was created and what type of problems it can help fix. The brand reveals,

“Many women have a complicated love/hate relationship with their bras and how their breasts look in them. The Bra Bridge is designed to help women of all breast sizes shift that relationship towards loving their appearance. The issues women have with their bras are as varied as the different shapes and sizes breasts come in:

An overabundance of bouncing.
Not enough cleavage, for small busts.
A little too much cleavage, for bigger busts.
General sagging [and] the natural result of aging.
A collection of bras that have stretched out and no longer fit well.”

The Bra Bridge Instantly Enhances Any Bust Size

Okay, we have to admit, a lot of those issues are for real a pain in the you know what. So how does the Bra Bridge Breast Enhancer resolve these common problems? Once more the BB Breast Enhancer label answers,

“Introducing the Bra Bridge Breast Enhancer, the easy, simple, inexpensive way to help shape your breasts; lift and hold them in place, reduce sagging, bouncing and side boob. And create a custom fit for your bra. Bra Bridge is a clip that attaches to both cups of your bra and pulls your breasts in and forward; creating a slimmer, more flattering look every day and in every outfit.

The Bra Bridge breast enhancer is secured between the cups of your existing bra to pull on the bra’s cups and provide additional support for your breasts. The Bra Bridge enhancer can lift and support your breasts, reduce side-boob, enhance cleavage, reduce unwanted bouncing and provide other advantages.

A difference to feel your very best, everyday! The Bra Bridge Breast Enhancer is the simple and inexpensive way to help shape your breasts. We’re confident you’ll love the fit, feel, and style of the Bra Bridge.”

The Bra Bridge- Who’s Behind It All

You’ll be happy to know that this nifty and handy product was invented by a woman. A woman who no doubt understands the struggle ladies all around the world face, chest first. We caught up with the busy entrepreneur behind this ingenius design who filled us in on why she decided the world needed another “bridge.” Founder Judith Samson says,

“I invented the Bra Bridge because I struggled with the way my breasts looked; they stretched passed my rib cage and bounced too much, affecting my self-confidence about the way I looked. The Bra Bridge reduced my side boob, but also the bouncing and sagging, lifting and holding everything in place.

The beauty of the Bra Bridge is that it is so easy to use, essentially giving you a custom fit with every bra you wear. My mission is to help women of all shapes and sizes gain confidence about their shape and the way they look both in personal and professional life, giving them a positive body image that translates into self-confidence and growth. I am confident you will love the Bra Bridge as much as my friends and I do.”

As one can see, there are plenty of things to love about this product. First of all, if you already own a great bra that is making the ladies look spectacular; you now can simply add more bust boosting power to your intimates arsenal. Or if the same very bra is losing some of its effectiveness; you can snap on a clip and never miss a boobie beat.

Moreover, the clips come in 3 different colors. White, a nude and black. Therefore, they are more than likely to match seamlessly with quite a few of your currently owned bras.

Lastly, it is an affordable, budget friendly option. While some bras, implants, pills, creams and the like can run up a credit card bill. The Bra Bridge can give your chest a sexier boost for a week’s worth of Starbucks.

Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown

Arianne Suggs March 28, 2018March 28, 2018Leave a Comment

All we can say is, “WOW!” The entire Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2018 runway show was a tantalizing affair; however, the closing look stole the attention of everyone in attendance. The vibe, the details, the unspoken allure. Every element just works and brings a certain je ne sais quoi to a collection that is already flawless.

Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown

Hereith Paul, you are a lucky girl! Paul is the gorgeous model that had the honor and pleasure, of wearing the final closing Cushnie et Ochs look. The dress is a showstopper… Glitzy, spell-binding and more gleam than the night sky on a clear night.

Photographs of this garment did not even come close to doing it justice. The gown gets its bling appeal thanks to a little help from Swarowski. This dress in particular incorporates dazzling, strategically placed Swarowski Drop Crystals.

The crystalized look is currently a favorite among designers for the fall 2018 season. We spotted the trend at not just Cushnie et Ochs, but during a number of other fall runway shows. We noted Swarowski elements and jewelry were utilized during collections for: Alexander Wang, Brandon Maxwell, Jason Wu and Rosie Assoulin.

Nevertheless, we foresee the Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown being a red carpet favorite. Immediately, upon seeing it all 1966 staff felt that this is a design that Queen Beyonce would absolutely dominate in at any event. We are reminded of her sheer, embellished gown that she wore to the 2015 Met Ball (see below). This is so her style and one that would land any starlet with an amazing pair of legs on the Best Dressed List. All eyes on you RiRi!

Winter Fashion 2018- Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 14, 2018March 13, 2018Leave a Comment

Hansel and Gretel eat your heart out! When it comes to fashion week no one quite does it like fashion house, Chanel. From the spell-binding couture to the equally visually pleasing venues, the luxury fashion label knows how to leave its fashion show attendees aching for more! For the Chanel Winter 2018 -2019 collection, Karl Lagerfeld enchanted his audience with luxe woven garments set against a forest backdrop.

Winter Fashion 2018- Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show

Why is this show in particular making waves throughout the industry? Well, during fashion week you expect at least three things. A catwalk, glorious designs and a magnificent show. Chanel did all three with stylish hands tied in back.

In answering the long held question what would you take with you if you were stranded in a desert or forest; Chanel’s winter show made the answer abundantly clear… any of their fashions! Chanel’s dazzling designs cast their spell with a color palette that lines up perfectly with the fall and winter seasons. We observe stylish tops, skirts, jackets and accessories all peppered with tones reminiscent of the changing of the leaves’ colors during autumn.

The colors are warm yet sharp. Defined yet welcoming. Your eye is drawn in immediately but is able to take in every look’s detail in it’s entirety.

Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show

Your outfit may be the cake, but a proper handbag is the cherry on top! Chanel’s Winter 2018 handbags are trendy with an original edge. There are big bags, small bags, crossovers and of course, totes.

One element we love is the matchy-matchy look. Several handbags were twinning with their accompanying ensembles. Literally, tweed met tweed and hues met the exact same color(s). Whatever fabric was used to craft a couture design that same high end material was used for the look’s very own handbag.

This is great for the person who enjoys a perfect match. Or for someone who may struggle with pairing accessories with their clothing. Either way, Chanel has things covered.

One other detail that is certainly worth mentioning before moving on is Chanel’s use of the double bag. Have you ever needed two bags just to carry your essentials for the day? Well, Chanel wants you to know you are not alone. During the fall/winter runway show a model hit the catwalk with not one bag, but two swinging from her shoulder.

One smaller shoulder handbag layered over a larger tote made up the completed look. While carrying two bags may not become the next big thing. It is fun to see a neat way on how to make this style dilemma work in the best way.

Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show – Accessories

Hair was kept simple but was embellished with luxe, crystallized hair accessories. Other outfit additions we noticed included scarves, leggings/tights, chain belts as well as logo/name earrings and necklaces. Moreover, with the earrings we noticed Chanel indulged in the super hot uneven earrings trend. To rock it all you have to do is wear two different size earrings. They match but one is always super longer than the other. Thus making the finished result stylish, yet dramatic.

Furthermore, gleaming details were not just noticed in the accessories. Various boots, tights and pants all had shimmery elements. Proving that winter fashion does not need to be drab like the season’s weather. You can easily spice things up by utilizing sparkle.

Lastly, one other piece we loved was the fingerless gloves! Very Material Girl meets punk. The fun gloves came in different lengths; both regular hand glove size as well as elbow length. Certainly, a design that easily garners attention without trying too hard.

Well loves that is our fashion show recap. Keep scrolling to see even more runway shots!

Hubert de Givenchy -Founder of Givenchy Dies at 91, Life & Legacy

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 12, 2018March 12, 2018Leave a Comment

Another icon is gone. Fashion visionary, Vale Hubert de Givenchy noted for dressing some of the world’s most famous women; passed away at age 91. Hubert’s designs were widely celebrated for not only their sophistication, but divine elegance.

Hubert de Givenchy -Founder of Givenchy Dies at 91, Life & Legacy

The French luxury couture designer was born in 1927. In future years, the couturier would come to redefine the modern woman’s form of attire. Givenchy often referred to himself as “the eternal apprentice.” However, his masterful creations since the start of his fashion house in 1952; clearly demonstrated his true skill, talents and pure genius.

Furthermore, Givenchy truly understood the female form. His luxe and dazzling frocks always fit a woman’s body in the most desirable as well as alluring way. His motto? Hubert once said, “The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.”

This understanding led to Givenchy being highly sought after by the Hollywood elite. As a result, Hubert dressed some of the most influential women of the 20th century. Ladies of Givenchy included Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Grace Kelly. Men too experienced the Givenchy treatment, such as the legendary David Bowie.

Hepburn who wore Givenchy couture in some of her biggest roles is quoted as stating, “His clothes are the only clothes in which I am completely myself. He is far more than a couturier, he is a creator of personality… I’m as dependent on Givenchy as some Americans are on their psychiatrist.” Her sentiments sum up what numerous starlets, models and women around the world have felt in Hubert’s pieces.

Hubert de Givenchy -Founder of Givenchy, Life & Legacy

To this day, women around the world keep a LBD in their wardrobes. The LBD, or Little Black Dress is a classic, iconic garment that never goes out of style. Seasons come and go. Trends see the light of day then quickly vanish, but the little black dress continues to command the spotlight.

Who of us can forget actress, Audrey Hepburn’s black dress from Breakfast at Tiffany’s? The actress also can be seen in Givenchy designs in her films Sabrina and Funny Face. Moreover, in 1954 Audrey put down Hubert in her contracts as the designer who would design all of her film costumes. Ultimately, the move that sealed designer and muse as lifelong friends and workmates.

Even though Hubert de Givenchy made the LBD (little black dress) look so easy to pull off, he made it starkly clear it is not. In regards to the look Givenchy states, “The little black dress is the thing to realize, because you have to keep it simple.” Listen to him fashion lovers, less can be oh so more.

Besides his beautiful gowns Hubert also changed how the fashion world viewed separates. A blouse, jacket, skirt, or trouser could produce a plethora of stylish combinations. Limitless outfit choices instead of one. His concept of mixing and matching separates truly revolutionized the industry.

Hubert de Givenchy -Founder of Givenchy Dies at 91

The Givenchy fashion house reached out to fans and admirers via social media in order to release a statement pertaining to Hubert de Givenchy. The label says,

“The House of Givenchy is sad to report the passing of its founder Hubert de Givenchy. A major personality of the world of French Haute Couture and a gentleman who symbolized Parisian chic and elegance for more than half a century. His enduring influence and his approach to style reverberates to this day. He will be greatly missed.”

Several celebrities also shared their thoughts as well as condolences online. Including supermodels Iman and Naomi Campbell. They said,

“Au revoir Monsieur Givenchy!”

-IMAN

“May you R.I.P. Hubert de Givenchy so elegant and chic. It was a honor to have met you and to work with you.”

-Naomi Campbell

Hubert de Givenchy – Letter From Our Editor

Hello Readers,

Like you, I am also deeply saddened by this unfortunate news regarding the great Hubert de Givenchy. Growing up, his designs were one of the first to make me want to shed my Tomboy ways and hop into a black dress!

I also remember fondly talking about the glamorous old Hollywood with my grandmother. Not just the bright lights, triple threat talent or fascinating productions; but the fashion! The undeniable breath-taking couture that was chic, high-end, mesmerizing yet sexy all in one.

It was my grandmother as well as my mother that exposed me to a few classic films that left me wishing I was old enough to have a credit card. Since if I had had one, a lot of the available funds would of went to Givenchy couture. Therefore, maybe it was a good idea that could not qualify (LOL).

Being a fan of the fashion house, I was moved to write this feature. Not just to tell the impact that Givenchy had on me, but the impact He and his label left on the world. Truly an industry leader that will be missed. Below you will find a complilation of a few of my favorite Givenchy moments of all time. Thank you for taking time out to read this post and I hope you enjoy the photos (Note: Modern looks by John Galliano and Alexander McQueen).

Sincerely,

Arianne XOXO

Hubert de Givenchy – Final Words to Live By

“Luxury is in each detail.”

“All a woman needs to be chic is a raincoat, two suits, a pair of trousers and a cashmere sweater.”

“Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself.”

“To have style is to have a feeling for what is currently fashionable, and still to simultaneously remain true to oneself.”

“Look closely. That’s a girl. A girl of color. Saving the universe. Heroes come in all shapes and colors and walks of life.

In fact, heroes look just like you, reading this right now. Something to remember in these trying times. Our hero played impeccably by Storm [also appeared] on the Barnes and Noble exclusive Wrinkle in Time cover [which hit] stores on October 3rd (2017) in advance of the film’s March 9 release.

[Nevertheless] the first image I had in my mind was to place a brown girl in the role of Meg. A girl traveling to different planets and encountering beings and situations that I’d never seen a girl of color in. I was interested in that and in a heroine that looked like the girls I grew up with.

[My daughter] Mali. She’s the true reason I made Wrinkle in Time. So she could see a girl with brown skin and eclectic tastes who is the brightest star in the universe. Just like her.”

Nonetheless, Reid is not alone. Director Ava DuVernay is also proud and excited over the dolls. Regarding them she mentions,

A Wrinkle in Time- Her-story in the Making

Did you know the making of this very movie marked a huge achievement in Hollywood history? Many are not aware. However, with A Wrinkle in Time, Ava is the first woman of color to direct a $100 million film.

Sad, yet a reason to still be happy. Upward movement means more opportunities in the future. Furthermore, with the wild success of Disney’s Black Panther; black directors are steadily showcasing that their skills can pull in the big bucks too. Black Panther alone broke several box office records and made over $700 million dollars in just a mere 10 days.

Nevertheless, what does DuVernay have to say about this movie milestone? In a true display of humility, Ava pays respects to the many black directors that helped pave the way. Speaking on being the first black female director of a 100 million budget movie she states,

“Not the first woman of color capable. Not by a long shot. This should have happened a long time ago with Julie Dash; or Euzhan Pacly or Kathleen Collins or Neema Barnette. We need more. And more. And more.

More voices. More kinds and creeds and colors of filmmakers. Thanks to Disney for making it so. And saluting my sister filmmakers. Onward for all of us.”

A Wrinkle in Time- Sade Plays a Part!

Well, not in the film itself, but will be apart of the movie’s soundtrack. The sultry singer’s melodic voice can be heard during an original song. How did Sade come to be apart of this Disney movie’s music? Looks like Ava once again worked her magic!

Recently, DuVernay took to social media to reveal the Sade news to fans. On the Twitter platform she revealed,

“I never thought she’d say yes, but I asked anyway. She was kind and giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget.

Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for a Wrinkle in Time. It’s entitled, “Flower of the Universe.” And it’s a dream come true.“

A Wrinkle in Time- So it’s a Classic

What is now a film, started off as a book. Wrinkle in Time was penned by author, Madeleine L’Engle. The book was originally released back in 1962. Moreover, L’Engle was an American writer known for not only A Wrinkle in Time but it’s sequels such as A Wind in the Door.

The story of Meg and her brother Charles evolves around a tesseract. A tesseract is a “wrinkle in time.” In the book, a visitor from another realm and dimension interrupts Meg, her brother and mother thus leading the children to begin an exciting quest. We’ll stop there so as not to spoil anything; but knowing that there are additional books in the series; we are confident that if this film is successive Disney will bring the subsequent story lines to life as well.

A Wrinkle in Time- Time Travel That Will Make You Want to Travel

Big budget films means cool effects, A-list actors and of course being able to shoot at some of the most eye-popping locales around the globe! In order to achieve dramatic, unforgettable scenery and visuals the cast took a few trips.

Where did they go? Locations were scouted throughout mesmerizing New Zealand as well as the infamous Redwood Forest in northern California. Ava describes sights that took her breath away. She mentions, “lakes are so blue they look like crystal clear pool water. Everywhere you turn there is some new jewel of nature –just shining, being gorgeous.” Man, now we really want to see this film even more! Therefore, don’t forget to go see it with all your friends when it drops March 9th.
