Simone Sato – How It Began

It started about 12 years ago when Simone got tired of seeing the same clothes in her closet, so she gave them away to friends, and then start selling them. This went very well, so friends started asking her to sell their clothes too. Word got out, and her Hollywood contacts jumped on it and started telling their friends, who told their friends, who told a big Hollywood producer, and the rest is history! Currently, Simone sells millions worth of highly-coveted, drool-worthy designer clothing, and now you can purchase them at up to 90% off retail.

Why You Can Trust Simone Sato

Simone HATES fakes, and she’d never wear let alone sell, anything that was not 100% authentic.

As such, she has a top-notch authenticator, and positively guarantees that everything is 100% authentic.

Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 13, 2016July 13, 2016Leave a Comment

When one person has an amazing fashion moment it’s noteworthy. However, when a couple can burn up the red carpet they basically become style legends! Tonight at the Espys it was a designer’s heaven among the booed up celebs. Therefore, here is our Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!

Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See

It may be a night about sports but the Espys 2016 couture could not be ignored! We spotted The Wilsons and also The Currys serving up major squad goals on the red carpet. So then, let’s begin with those love birds first.

The Currys looked radiant and we loved that they didn’t do the whole, “Hey, we’re a couple so let’s basically wear the same thing!” They demonstrated their individual style and taste. For instance, Ayesha Curry stunned in a Theia Couture burgundy gown. She did a matchy-matchy makeup look bringing her lip color and dress into perfect harmony. Moreover, Steph Curry stepped out in a bold custom Alba suit. His blue coat had us feeling some type of way.

Furthermore, the couple as a whole chose shades that complimented their skin tone. It’s nice to see them taking risks and playing with color. It definitely paid off!

Oh snap, wait a minute! Is that The Wilsons we see all up in it? Russell Wilson and his spanking new wife Ciara looked fantastic!

Now for many months they have slayed one red carpet event after the other. Actually they have been killing it ever since they started dating. So then, we weren’t surprised to see them looking like a bag of money.

Ciara has been killing it in Roberto Cavalli so she was like, “Well, if it’s not broken.” CiCi wore another Roberto Cavalli design in an alluring pink shade. Russell attended the Espys 2016 event in a well-tailored Tom Ford Suit.

Black on Black

There were a few black on black fashion moments tonight. One actually happened during the show on stage. Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Chris Paul and Mr. Wade rocked head-to-toe noire ensembles. They were making a statement in regards to gun violence and their attire was very appropriate as well as fitting.

Nevertheless, since those handsome four guys aren’t together let’s get back to the couples. Gabrielle Union and her man Dwyane Wade hit the Espys 2016 carpet before the show. Wade shut it down in a blue with black trim Givenchy suit. Union went all black as she strutted her stuff in an August Getty Atelier gown.

In words of Jay to the Z, “Bring em’ out, bring em’ out!” The return of the big hoop earrings is upon us! If you loved this accessory trend you will be glad to know that it is back with a style vengeance.

Fashion Wars The Return of Big Hoop Earrings

Giorgio Armani Fall/Winter 2016

They’re humongous and can’t be missed. Big hoop earrings are a great edition to an ensemble for any girl brave enough to rock them. If you enjoy being edgy without onlookers thinking you’re too over the top; then, big hoop earrings will suit you well.

Big hoop earrings were even spotted coming down the runway this year. For the 2016 autumn/winter collection Giorgio Armani models rocked humongous hoop earrings. Fabulousity unlocked!

Furthermore, another great aspect about big hoop earrings is that they can be dressed up or down. Worn during the day and night. Thus, making them a very versatile accessory.

Pair them with denim and a fun tee for a cute day time look. Or use them to add a little drama to a LBD (Little Black Dress) at night.

Fashion Wars – RiRi Versus Laura

Alrighty dolls today’s fashion showdown is between BBWLA and a BBHMM! Reality beauty Laura Govan and superstar singer Rihanna. Who wore the look better?

Of course, we loved Rihanna’s relaxed chic look. However, we had to give the win to Laura! Govan’s sophisticated ensemble proves that this trend can look upscale and luxurious.

Who do you think won this battle? Let us know and we’ll have a new face-off soon!

BeautyCon LA 2016 Fashion Recap

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 10, 2016July 10, 2016Leave a Comment

They came, they were beautiful and they conquered. Every year BeautyCon seems to just get better and better. Of course, it’s always a blast to see what’s going on in the world of beauty. However, the celeb spottings and their couture trends are also divine. Therefore, if unfortunately you couldn’t get your beauty on in Los Angeles we got you covered because here is our celebrity BeautyCon LA 2016 fashion recap!

BeautyCon LA 2016 Fashion Recap

So little time and so many looks to see. Let’s just hop right into it with a little lady who wore her own clothing like a Boss!

Christina Milian

Singer, entertainer and fashion queen. Christina Milian sizzled in a sexy denim dress from her We Are Pop Culture line. We Are Pop Culture had their own booth where attendees could shop and meet Milian.

Christina has always been one to stay close to her fan base. Her booth gave girls the best opportunity to meet and greet. Going back to Christina’s OOTD. No need for heels. Instead Milian showed off her tough kicks game. Who did she wear? Maybe this Jay Z lyric will give you a hint, “Jordan…Game 6.”

Draya Michele

Draya Michele had two amazing ensembles so let’s begin with the first one. Draya kicked off her BeautyCon LA 2016 fashion looking mean in green. She wore a skirt and bodysuit by House of CB. Moreover, she accessorized with a Manokhi choker and Ivanka Trump handbag.

Outfit number was just as chic. Draya’s stylish LBD (Little Black Dress) is by YSL. Her matching black heels are by Azzedine Alaia.

More Stylish Ladies

Tyra Banks

You wanna be on top? Tyra Banks came to BeautyCon LA 2016 complete with an entire squad! Her squad was actually the entire crew who were present at the BeautyCon LA 2016 brunch. What was discussed? The peeps dished on everything from making the world better to contouring. Hence, normal girl talk these days.

Inbetween smizes we couldn’t keep our eyes off Ty Ty’s fashions. Banks looked relaxed chic in jeans, a white tee and tailored jacket. Moreover, we loved the pop of color she added with her yellow handbag.

Karreuche Tran

We were so happy to spot our favorite pint-sized fashion-nista! Short girls unite! She may be petite, but her style is off the charts.

First of all, can we give all glory to those baby hairs and those abs! Seriously, those bad boys rival the great and mighty Janet Jackson six pack. Karreuche has been putting in work.

Keeping it 100, if we had a body like hers we’d show it off 24/7. That’s exactly what she did. She wore a choker, bandeau top with a printed skirt. Simple, sexy and total head turner.

Kelly Rowland

We were not surprised to see Kelly Rowland at BeautyCon LA 2016. We thought it was fitting especially after her announcement a few months ago regarding a makeup line. As we reported Kelly is developing a cosmetics brand after being influenced by Iman. Kelly plans to keep chocolate girls in mind during the entire design process.

Nevertheless, Kelly looked amazing! She stunned in a frilly, lace ensemble. The color complimented her skin tone beautifully.

Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 10, 2016July 9, 2016Leave a Comment

Who you gonna call? If you have an issue with Casper then it’s the Ghostbusters. However, if it’s fashion related you better hit up a designer genius! That’s exactly what happened this week. When no one else would answer the call, actress Leslie Jones called Christian Siriano to help a sista out at the Ghostbusters premiere.

Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere

Leslie Jones overcame a girl’s worst nightmare. Having absolutely nothing to wear! The biggest premiere of Jones’ career and not one single designer would dress her.

Consequently, Leslie voiced the issue loud and clear. In the very movie Leslie stars in (Ghostbusters) people call on her character for help. Ironically, now it was Leslie’s turn to do the same. Would anyone answer before time ran out?

Christian Siriano Saves the Day!

Project Runway’s breakout star, Christian Siriano, is the hero in this dramatic and voguish story! On the show Christain became known for his speedy hands. He could quickly bang out an exquisite design that look liked it took days.

Nevertheless, that speed came in handy. Siriano dressed Jennifer Hudson for Ciara’s wedding this week while juggling his own wedding plans! Plus, he still needed to get Jones ready for the premiere. Yet, Christian got it all done and Leslie transformed into a sassy Lady in Red!

The Ensemble

That dress though! Christian Siriano shut it down with a red off the shoulder dress with high thigh split. The gown is sexy without being vulgar. Sophisticated, sultry, luxurious and flirty are a few more adjectives that came to mind.

This is a dress that girls and women would want to get their hands on. Furthermore, it proves that women of all shapes and sizes can look Hollywood glam! Thanks for showing the industry a thing or two Christian.

Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere – The Accessories

As any gal knows accessories can make or break a bomb fit. Leslie Jones’ stylist, Brian Mcphatter, hit the nail right on the head. Brian paired the Christian Siriano red design with Dannijo jewels and a Judith Lieber handbag. Jones heels were by Vince Camuto.

Want Leslie Jones chic accessories? They’re from Neiman Marcus! Head to a mall near you and get shopping!

Fan Reaction

We always love to see how others feel about fashion. Instagram, yes THE actual Instagram page was definitely feeling Leslie tonight! Instagram posted a moving picture of Jones via the Boomerang app.

Leslie is seen dancing in her gorgeous Christian Siriano gown. You could just tell she was loving life and feeling herself in her amazing look. In just 5 hours Instagram’s post had over 2 million views! Here are a few other thoughts from fans:

“Omg”

“Gorgeous!!!”

“Beautiful!!”

“Gorgeousness! Christian Siriano knows how to design dresses that flatter and accentuate best features.”

“Christian Siriano you did GOOD!!! Love that gown!”

“You look gorgeous Leslie!”

Leslie Jones Called Christian Siriano Ghostbusters Premiere – All Love

Fashion is an expression of self and personal preference. A person should feel great in clothes. Tonight anyone who laid eyes on Leslie Jones could tell she felt like a queen. How did she feel about Christian Siriano coming to her aid? She said,

“I want to thank my baby Christian Siriano for making me this fabulous gown and for my wonderful stylist for putting this look together!”

Great job by all involved in Leslie’s Hollywood premiere ensemble. She looked fabulous! Hopefully this is only the beginning in fashion. Maybe more designers will answer the call and make couture for the 90% of women in the world who are not a size 0-2.

Posted Notes: Christian Siriano is helping to change the fashion industry. This year he collaborated on a collection with Lane Bryant. Therefore, just another reason Leslie Jones looked drop dead gorgeous. Christian understands women with real bodies and knows exactly how to design for them. Go Christian!
