Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 20, 2016April 19, 2016Leave a Comment

We are still obsessed with Rihanna’s Coachella attire, but hey the first step is admittance right? There were so many awesome aspects of Rihanna’s outfit for the popular annual music festival that we will do our best to break it all down. First off, we want to give it up one time for all the bling factor that RiRi had going on. She truly was shining bright like a diamond as she partied the night away with Oscars’ winner, Leonardo DiCaprio. One fabulous piece of style greatness that we are still obsessed with is Rihanna’s Coachella 2016 Spring Gucci Sunglasses.

When your career is red hot why shouldn’t a girl literally look like a shining star? For weeks we had been seeing Gucci’s spring eyewear and one pair took us by fashion storm. Mainly because we are such suckers for anything bedazzled. Therefore, an accessory with a rhinestone factor would definitely do it for us. Moreover, Rihanna’s Coachella 2016 Spring Gucci Sunglasses are for the girl who WANTS to be seen. For the girl who’s bold, a style risk-taker and comes alive at night. If that’s you then you really need these shades.

The rest of Rihanna’s look just kept getting better and better. She wore a vintage Harley Davidson sweatshirt and then ladies as well gents there was the jewelry. Hang on tight. First, take a closer look at the following photo then we’ll explain.

Rihanna wore three stunning jewelry pieces. The first two came from Lynn Ban: the Cameo Necklace as well as RF Initial Rings. Then the crown jewel was by Fallon, Fallon’s custom made Chantilly Lace Bandana. We want this bandana SO bad. It was blinging more than the stars that night! Fallon’s bandana is literally made with a vintage Hermes scarf. Style Achievement unlocked.

Between Rihanna’s Coachella 2016 Spring Gucci Sunglasses and her insane jewels she hands down won best-dressed. Keep on rocking RiRi and we’ll just keep obsessing.

“A nude for every woman. This spring, two new hues join our Nudes collection to create a spectrum of seven suited to any skin tone, from porcelain to deep chocolate… Constructed from soft, flexible matte nappa leather, our new nudes mimic the feeling of skin, allowing the shoe to nearly disappear on the leg.”

The Nudes Collection by Louboutin is amazing but brings to mind a few questions. What designs are apart of the luxury line and how much will it cost to own a pair or two? The collection is compiled of flats, pumps and stilettos. Allowing you to have the freedom and range to cover causal as well as formal attire.

The Jardin Lace Jumpsuit is a total spring dream. Even though it is long-sleeved with full length pants it incorporates a few sassy elements. Geometrical cut-outs in a zig-zag pattern adorn the top portion of the jumpsuit and the flair does not just stop there.

Arianne Suggs April 16, 2016April 16, 2016Leave a Comment

Trust us, seven words… Saint Laurent 100 Lou 48mm Retro Sunglasses. Living here in sunny Los Angeles we are as tied to our sunglasses as we are our smartphones, In-N-Out or vegan food. You know whatever one floats your boat. We have our ways and our fashion choices fall in line with them. We wake up to the sun shining in our eyes and even after it sets our attiude reflects a pop song from the 80’s; we “wear our sunglasses at night.” It is a necessary part of life so we Californians pretty much consider ourselves to be Sunglasses-Connoisseurs. Whatever is fresh, modern and trendy we are most likely a credit card swipe away from sliding them over our peepers.

Therefore, what is cool look for this season? Studded fashions have been everywhere so far this year. Jackets, belts and shoe-wear have all received the studded touch. Now the lovely three-dimensional detailing have found their way on yet another chic accessory.

We spotted model, Ajak Deng, wearing a brand new design by YSL aka Saint Laurent in celebration of it finally being the weekend. She posted several pics of herself while relaxing at a spa wearing her designer shades stating, “happy Friyaaaayyyyy.” She wore a pair of studded black sunnies known as Saint Laurent 100 Lou 48mm Retro Sunglasses as previously mentioned. Here are a few more visuals of her eyewear:

The Saint Laurent 100 Lou Retro Sunglasses retail for $495 and can be purchased by going here. If you are not a fan of black tinted glasses, the shades come in a total four colors as follows:

Black/Gold/Smoke
Havana/Gold/Smoke
Ivory/Gold/Smoke
Red/Gold/Smoke

Ajak Deng looked like the epitome of cool in her new shades. Enjoy your weekend and cop yourself a pair so that you can look straight off a catwalk too!

Liya Kebede and Imaan Hammam For Vogue Italia April 2016

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 16, 2016April 16, 2016Leave a Comment

Iconic photographer Patrick Marchelier has once more created a stunning editorial for the Vogue Italia April 2016 edition. Color can be the spice of life, however, there is something majestic about classic, sophisticated black and white imagery. For the Vogue Italia April 2016 issue three models serve up a slice of visual heaven. Imaan Hammam, Liya Kebede and Gigi Hadid are all featured in the gorgeous shoot.

We especially enjoyed the stylized moody essence of the editorial. Each model displays a dark, somber yet beautiful pose that spotlights their individual glamour. The effortless and ease of their positions has a seductive, magnetic appeal. The Vogue Italia April 2016 “Individuallure” editorial by Marchelier is a come-hither masterpiece that is enchantingly captivating.

Besides, the models themselves, the fashions displayed are just as engaging. Liya, Imaan and Gigi all wear designs by Valentino. The couture proves that subtlety and simplicity can still be a very dramatic style presentation. Nevertheless, their ensembles were given extra flair thanks to bold statement jewelry.

Model: Liya Kebede

Couture: Spring/Summer 2016 Valentino

Accessory/Jewelry: Alessandro Gaggio for Valentino

Model: Imaan Hammam

Couture: Fall 2016 Valentino

Accessory/Jewelry: Alessandro Gaggio for Valentino

To complement their sophisticated and conservative attire the model’s hair were flawlessly matched. They wore different hairstyles that could be described as “simple.” Liya’s tresses were elegantly pulled back, while Imaan and Gigi wore high chignons with wispy strands of hair flowing lightly around the hairline as well as the chignon itself.

Beauty Notes: Three words… less is more. Never underestimate the power of natural beauty. Emphasis on your best features can be even more gorgeous than a bold lip, strong contour and faux lashes. You’re beautiful so let the world the see it!
