We are having quite the chain reaction to these earrings. The Four Link Chain Earring By Alexander Wang is available now in select stores. The stylish accessories are made from Rhodium.

Rhodium on the periodical table is a chemical element with the symbol RH as well as atomic number 45. Why are Rhodium accessories so sought after? It is because Rhodium is a silvery-white, rare hard material that happens to also be highly resistant to corrosion. Therefore, the Four Link Chain Earring set will last you awhile.

Looking for some accessories to take your street-wear up a notch? Metallics are an easy way to infuse your outfit with a hint of cool. Metal accessories denote a daring edginess. So then, if you are into urban fashion then these earrings are a must-have.

These signature four line bike chain earrings contain a pierced post as well as hinge back closure that is engraved with the Alexander Wang logo. If you are not really a silver girl the earrings also come in Rose Gold. The Four Link Chain Earring retails for $295. Hurry, most retailers that sale the earrings have sold out.

Zoolander 2 Vogue Editorial Starring Joan Smalls

Arianne Suggs February 5, 2016February 5, 2016Leave a Comment

In this editorial put together by Vogue, Derek Zoolander proves he is a really, really good looking model! We always love when a bit of humor can be reintroduced into the fashion world. Zoolander, the film that made the duck-face pose a mainstream staple is back with a hilarious sequel. Actors Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson began building hype for Zoolander 2 when they walked in the Valentino Fall 2015 runway show. Their unexpected Paris fashion show appearance set the tone of epic style moments to come.

The latest promotion includes a fashion spread in Vogue. Zoolander fiercely models with supermodels Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn and Gigi Hadid. The photos give us life and we can’t stop looking at them. Fan reaction to the Zoolander 2 editorial has been the same, here are a few:

“YESSSS”

“They Slay”

“This is amazing”

“Squad”

“This is for Vogue hahahaha I love it!”

“Why do I love everything about this?”

“This must be what it’s like to be really really good looking!”

“LOL slaying your thinking caps. Slay on slaya… Slay on!”

Yes, the photographs are fabulous and all models involved are slaying. Nevertheless, who is behind the camera is as important as who is in front of it to achieve such greatness. The Zoolander 2 photos were lensed by the iconic Annie Leibovitz. This is Derek Zoolander’s first Vogue cover (LOL).

90s babies and kids unite! Jeremy Scott has designed an epic collection featuring one of the best gal toon trios ever made. Last night, Jeremy Scott and his fashion forward girlfriends came together to celebrate the launch of the PowerPuff Girls x Moschino line.

The Purple Unicorn, Justine Skye, attended the event and shared her thoughts regarding the line. She seemed to have fun on social media showing fans her look for the party. She even made reference to a new change to her Instagram. For the past few weeks the singer had only posted black and white photography. Nevertheless, for the PowerPuff Girls x Moschino launch she was “colorful.” Justine went on to say,

“In love with the new collection Jeremy Scott! Thank you for having me, can’t wait to go to the show.”

Empire’s Serayah was also in on all the fashion fun. If time machines were real we would of thought Serayah had come out of one. We loved the styling of her boisterous ensemble right down to the choker! In regards to the line Serayah said,

“Always kisses for the genius Jeremy Scott for this amazing PowerPuff Girls line, I was always Bubbles who were you?!”

Jeremy Scott is truly a visionary when it comes to fashion. Scott has never had a collection that disappoints. His designs are for the girl who is not afraid to just be herself and enjoy life. Jeremy was happy to have Justine and Serayah apart of his big night stating,

“And these beauties last night! Serayah and Justine Skye last night wearing a mix of Jeremy Scott and Moschino for my PowerPuff Girls x Moschino Launch Party. #GirlPower.”

It definitely was a night full of 90s girl power. We didn’t think the Barbie designs could be outdone but Jeremy always knows how to wow us. Congratulations on the PowerPuff Girls x Moschino line Mr. Scott we know its going to be successful!

Laurel DeWitt Crown Worn By Beyonce

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 5, 2016February 5, 2016Leave a Comment

What is an Queen without her crown? Looks like Beyonce doesn’t have to worry about that question. Queen Bey had social media buzzing with the release of Coldplay’s latest single, Hymn For the Weekend. Beyonce is featured on the single as well as in the music video. In the vibrant video Beyonce is adorned by a headpiece by designer Laurel DeWitt.

The Laurel DeWitt brand is known for their enormously creative headwear. All metal apparel and accessory pieces are hand-crafted gems. Beyonce’s stylist Zerina Akers paired the Laurel DeWitt crown with a glamorous design by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. It is a red and gold sequins embroidered gown fit for royalty. Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla gave details regarding the dress stating,

“ALL HAIL THE QUEEN! Beyonce floors us as she kills it in Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. She wears a skin net lotus sequins hand embroidered dress embellished in gold sequins and crystals lined with red. A floor length Exotica Gota coat is worn over it. Hand embroidered in Gota, beads and multicolored Resham and appliqué work, it is an ensemble that screams Goddess at the very top of her game.”

We have to agree with that description. However, the glam did not just stop at the exquisite dress and Laurel DeWitt crown. For the Coldplay video Beyonce also wears a necklace by Erickson Beamon. All in all Beyonce’s fashions set the bar for music videos of 2016.

While prorusing the Gram we came across a talented artist, Amr Mahmoud. Here is his interpretation of Beyonce’s crown and gown ensemble:

Sometimes in the realm of fashion all it takes is one simple addition of an article of clothing to update a look for the better. Our Style Ambassador Carly demonstrates how to do this in one simple step. How did she channel her inner Beyonce and “upgrade” her denim? Carly leveled up her couture look with the help of military designed fashion. She revealed to us,

“Its a very playful outfit! Kept it really simple with my old jeans, but with a touch of military which in turn bought life to the outfit lol! Feels so new.”

There you have it gals with the help of a military style vest Carly took her ensemble from old to fresh and new! Instead of throwing away “older” fashions, try modernizing them with trendy pieces to give them new life!
