ArianneUpdated on May 12, 2017May 12, 2017Leave a Comment

“It’s the Power Women Issue of Net-a-Porters’ The Edit. Wearing all female designers! Check it out and let me know what you think.” Those were the words of a very excited Kerry Washington as the first images of her newest cover story hit the industry scene. Kerry Washington Covers Net-A-Porter The Edit Power Women Issue, a popular edition that serves to recognize ladies who are relentless and dedicated to not only their craft, but being the best.

Inside the pages of the issue Washington gets real. The Scandal actress opens up to readers about what it really took for her to become fearless. It was not a quality that she was born with… she learned it. A great lesson for anyone who wishes to reach their dreams as well as be more successful.

Kerry Washington Covers Net-A-Porter The Edit Power Women Issue

Jennifer Dickinson, the Editor of Net-A-Porter The Edit discussed Kerry as the mag’s cover star. Dickinson was kind enough to share a little BTS (behind the scenes) tidbit. She says,

“You probably already think Kerry Washington is pretty amazing, right? Well, add to that the fact that she did this shoot for The Edit when her baby son was still tiny, pumping and feeding between shots. I KNOW. Hashtag queen, but what does she do when it all gets overwhelming? Think of Shonda Rhimes obviously. Be more [like] Shonda, Kerry kills it too, power women.”

Just goes to prove nothing stops Kerry and that is exactly why she is named one of The Edit’s “power women.” The issue also fabulously marries fashion to Washington’s Scandal character. For instance you will discover independent female designers pairing their best couture looks to the powerful Olivia Pope. A true celebration of the strong essence of women who are leading the pack in both the fashion as well as entertainment industries.

Be sure to check out Washington’s cover story and read about all the amazing women who are reigning queens in their perspective fields. Also, check out our sneak peak of Kerry’s editorial spread. It’s gorgeous!

Ask and Tell: Beyonce’s Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag

Arianne May 12, 2017May 12, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Beyonce’s Gucci Loved Bag aka the Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag.

You Asked: Hey 1966! I like that Loved bag I’ve been seeing the Queen with! I saw someone call it the Loved Bag. You know the one with the florals? Who makes that?

Ask and Tell: Beyonce’s Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag

The Verdict: Thanks for the question, we have noticed Queen Bey toting the Gucci Loved Bag around quite a bit too! The bag is actually the Gucci Marmont Embroidered Velvet Shoulder Bag. Quite a splurge if you are thinking of adding it to your closet. It retails for $2,700 and can be found right on the Gucci website.

Furthermore, if 2700 is steep there is a slightly (and we mean slight) cheaper Gucci Marmont handbag. Just as cute and chic with florals. Instead of reading “Loved” it says “Modern.” This bag will run you only $2,590.

Now getting back to the Queen. We have seen the CFDA Fashion Icon winner with this particular bag on the Gram at least twice now. The first time she was outside you know just getting fresh air and slaying for the cameras in distressed denim and Alberta Ferreti sheer blouse ($1200). Take two occurred when Bey wore a yellow satin Hellessy ‘Akim’ coat and the Minaroe ‘Aliyah’ gown ($120).

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.

How did Nike achieve more air? Their new shoe contains a cushioning system which provides the wearer with more bounce as well as flexibility. Moreover, there are absolutely no additional structural elements (no foam layer) which results in nothing but air being found underfoot. Cool right?

Well, making a an awesome product is one thing. However, choosing the right face and personage to market such product is another. Nike shared why chose model Winnie Harlow to bring the Vapormax to the masses. Nike states,

“When you refuse to be held down by convention, even the ground starts feeling a lot like Air. Whether she’s killing the runway or challenging perceptions of beauty in her industry, Winnie Harlow defies standards to set her own. Measure up to yourself, never others. Nike Air Vapor Max Asphalt is here.”

“I can’t believe this… I have a Nike campaign. One of my ultimate goals in life and I really didn’t think I’d accomplish it so soon. But by the grace of God, I am really apart of the Nike family and I’m so honored.

I’ve seen my face on billboards and in Times Square and it’s always such a special feeling. But my heart jumped when I passed Nike and saw my hard work plastered and blown up for everyone to see on the inside and outside of the stores. Thank you guys for continuing to allow me to inspire. Thank you to my team for believing in me and thank Nike for welcoming me to the Fam.”

Runway Fashion: Chanel Cruise 2018 “Modernity of Antiquity” Show

ArianneUpdated on May 6, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Let out your inner couture goddess dolls! The Chanel Cruise 2018 runway show oozed of luxurious flair rich in Grecian culture. Think exquisite draping, gladiator sandals, gold accents as well as wreathed, embellished headbands. Mr. Lagerfeld certainly captured the essence of Greece and brought it to Paris!

Runway Fashion: Chanel Cruise 2018 “Modernity of Antiquity” Show

“I see Greece as the origin of beauty and culture.” Those were the words of legendary Chanel designer, Karl Lagerfeld in regards to the inspiration behind his Chanel Cruise 2018 runway show. Lagerfeld constructed a breathtaking show that delivered down to the most minuit detail. Even the catwalk’s decor of larger than life pillars and stone work caused one and all in attendance to feel transported from Paris directly into the past. As a result, the entire collection is an ode to the grace and beauty of ancient Greece. Every piece as well as color palette tone was beautiful and fit the show’s overall theme.

Furthermore, what is a runway show without great hair? The Chanel Cruise 2018 collection’s hair looks nicely complimented the show’s couture. Tresses were pulled back into an effortless half up, half down style with the top portion being fashioned into a braid. Hair accessories additionally played a major role in making the hairstyle even more ethereal and extravagant. The results were so elegant and current they would be the perfect chic hairstyle for this season as well!

Chanel Cruise 2018

Several garments and pieces caught our eye but one accessory in particular made us swoon instantly. A gorgeously decorated black and gold hand bag with an owl made its glorious appearance during the show and although small, made quite a statement. In Greek mythology the owl represents Athena, known as being the goddess of wisdom. Thus making the bag quite fitting. Furthermore, being slight Clash of the Titans nerds we could not help but be reminded of all the films as well as their entertaining characters.

Nevertheless, the bag, the hair, the makeup and of course stunning designs made a deep impression and etched a moment into the fashion industry that shall never be forgotten. Chanel put on one amazing show that has us even more stylishly excited for 2018!
