Every Queen Bey fan is steadily counting down the day until the twins finally make their long-awaited appearance. Nevertheless, the ruler of the world’s biggest hive is doing a pretty bang up job of keeping one and all busy as well as focused on her style prowess. Beyonce is steadily posting shoot after shoot of her personal fashion statements. Her latest to take the Gram by storm? The ASOS Preggers Tshirt, a graphic slogan tee that is too on point for words!

Fashionable Mention: Beyonce Wears Maternity ASOS Preggers Tshirt

We all know Bey is “flawless” and now she is also preggers… and she makes it all look fab! Furthermore, the ASOS brand makes it easy for a glowing woman with child to stay current and trendy. The label boasts in the fact that their maternity wear is far from anything that can be considered “Frumpy.”

This is music to the ears of moms-to-be the world over. In the past a stylish pregnant lady was lucky to find an enlarged garment resembling a sheet with four holes. Now thanks to brands like ASOS the pregnancy couture tide has finally turned.

The ASOS Preggers Tshirt retails for only $28! Quite a steal in every way possible. Upon making the discovery that Beyonce rocked their shirt, ASOS made the following statement,

“Yes that’s right, the Queen B herself in our Preggers T-shirt! From Bootylicious to Bumpalicious! Sorry it’s currently sold out, but keep your eyes peeled!”

Sorry dolls if you had hoped to make this cool tee your very own, but as you can see ASOS left the door open. We have a strong feeling thanks to the Bey appearance ASOS will be restocking real soon.

Teyana Taylor and Reebok Classics is back at it again y’all! The awesome pairing has announced that round two of the Teyana Taylor Reebok Freestyle Hi Color Bomb Pack collab is now arriving in a store near you. If you are a huge fan of color as well as kicks you have just found your newest style obsession!

Teyana Taylor Reebok Freestyle Hi Color Bomb Pack

The Teyana Taylor Reebok Freestyle Hi Color Bomb Pack has received much attention due to the fact that they are bringing retro design into the modern era. Well, that is if you consider anything from the 90’s vintage. Reebok commented on the pack stating, “Free your style! We’ve teamed up again with Teyana Taylor to bring you the Freestyle Hi Color Bomb pack. The pack draws inspiration from the loud colors of the 90’s, which is also when Teyana started wearing Freestyles as a little girl.”

As you can see this fashion collaboration was meant to be. Furthermore, we love the fact that the pack is so true to Teyana’s personal style. Taylor’s fun urban chic allure is authentic and captivating. She is certainly the epitome of “get you a girl that can do both.” Relaxed or upscale, Mrs. TT slays. Taylor hit up social to talk Reebok saying,

“So you know we had to go ahead and drop a second round of Reebok Freestyle Hi Color Bomb pack! I’m loving these light colors. These might be my faves right now. So go pick you some up today! They are also available now online at reebok.com.”

Round two’s pastel tones are perfection for this season. Therefore, if pack one was too bold for you then you may just adore these softer tones more. Moreover, if you are liking what you see be quick to cop a pair or two, they go fast!

Fashion Scene: The Chanel Gabrielle Bag Campaign Starring Pharrell Williams

Arianne Suggs April 28, 2017April 28, 2017Leave a Comment

Pharrell Williams is talented beyond compare, but he is certainly known for two things… music and fashion! Williams can always be spotted at the hottest music red carpet events as well as couture runway designer shows. Furthermore, he is constantly touted for his personal style and pizzazz in numerous men’s style mags. Therefore, it is no surprise to see him now stepping once again into the fashion spotlight front and center. The Chanel Gabrielle Bag Campaign Starring Pharrell Williams is taking fall/winter trends by storm!

Fashion Scene: The Chanel Gabrielle Bag Campaign Starring Pharrell Williams

We are reminded of a Seinfeld episode when Jerry is carrying an “European handbag” to transport all his daily valuables. Jerry loved it and it made something else very clear. Men have things they want to have on them when going around town just as much as us ladies. However, it seems that men are not always thought of in this way.

Most bags on the market are exclusively made with women in mind. This campaign by Chanel is attempting to give men more chic choices when it comes to bags. Is this a look all men would enjoy? Probably not, many guys still enjoy more of a briefcase design or a bag with small handles that they can carry by hand. However, if one prefers straps they will definitely enjoy the comfort level of swinging something over their shoulder and going about their activities.

Pharrell is the first man to be featured in a Chanel bag campaign. The campaign’s film short was directed by Antoine Carlier. Get a peek of it below.

Moreover, it is such a stand alone garment that you don’t really need to overthink what to wear with it. It is the kind of piece in your wardrobe that you know if you put it on it WILL make a statement. This particular kimono says elegance, luxury and relaxed sex appeal.

Rowland chose to pair her Olivia Von Halle Queenie Dunaway Silk Komono with a nude tone jumpsuit. A combination that just reads and says “timeless.” Nevertheless, the upscale look proved to be perfect for the occasion.

We got the full details on her voguish night out!

Fashionable Mention: Matthew Adams Dolan Fall 2017 RTW Worn By Rihanna

“When you came dressed to be team turtle at the Kendrick Lamar show.” Fenty’s words, not ours. However, we thought she looked a wee bit better than that. For the Kendrick Lamar concert Work singer wore a denim Matthew Adams Dolan Fall 2017 garment. This isn’t the first rodeo for Rih and Matthew Adams Dolan. For iD Magazine Rihanna rocked another oversize denim look from the Pre-Spring 2015 collection (See Below).

Nevertheless, this couture marriage between the two is a perfect match. Fenty finished her fit with vintage Maison Margiela boots and of course, more sunnies. Her chic sunglasses are from the Adam Selman x Le Specs collaboration. Fire.

Beauty Notes: Monday blues anyone? For the Monday night Kendrick concert Rih went bold with blue on blue. Pulling a tone from your ensemble is a simple way to achieve cohesion with your overall look.

One thing to remember is to keep the rest of your face simple if one aspect of your beauty look is packing major heat. Rihanna‘s boisterous electric sparkling blue lip color is glamorous all on its own. Therefore, by keeping her makeup easy going she made her lip shade a major star.
