Arianne September 14, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a Comment

What can we say, this campaign is just sick! The punk style has gone under the fashion knife on several occasions but the true essence of the look remains the same. An aspect of punk couture we have always favored is that some use it to make an awesome statement. From anti-materialism to not being considered stereotypical punk clothing has been a truly cool protest against mainstream culture. With that said, designer Viktor Luna is throwing his hat into the punk mix this season. See his vision by checking out the Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign!

Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign

Plaid, spikes, leather, metallics and fur. What’s not to like? Fashion is a form of self expression and should therefore never be boring. Moreover, Luna’s campaign is the farthest thing from being considered characterless.

Its chic, fun and a nice departure from the usual. Luna’s fine tailoring and construction has always enthralled us and he does not disappoint with this collection. Furthermore, the Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign showcases several eye-catching pieces including a harness.

Yes, you read that correct Viktor designed a Turbo Leather Harness. Instantly, we thought 2036 prosthetics? Very cool work Luna and looking forward to seeing more in the future!

OBSESSION: NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses

Arianne September 14, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a Comment

There was so much to love about Vera Wang’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The tailoring was off the charts. The designs read fierce and chic. Nevertheless, one pair of sunnies had us in love at first glance. Today’s obsession, the NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses.

OBSESSION: NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses

Ugh, could Vera Wang just hand us an oxygen mask because she is giving us life! These glasses just simply stood out. Even coming down the runway your eyes just instantly dart to them.

The magnetic pull to these shades only increased once we noticed they come in multiple tints. The straight up black ones has us craving a leather jacket and cigarette. Hence, they’re edgy as all get out.

Nevertheless, the silver-tone version gave us futuristic vibes but with a retro grunge twist. However, you slice and dice these NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame sunglasses are a must-have. We spent the night hunting them down till we found them on Farfetch! These chic babies retail for $405 and can be shopped now. Oh! First time ordering on Farfetch.com?

Cushnie et Ochs Two Toned Lips! Our New Makeup Goals!

Arianne September 13, 2016September 13, 2016Leave a Comment

We have got to give it up to Cushnie et Ochs and the MAC Cosmetics team one time! The two collaborated to produce a very glam look for the Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2017 runway show. Every model’s pout was blessed with a boisterous touch of color. What beautiful makeup has us all in an uproar. Feast your eyes on the Cushnie et Ochs two toned lips!

Cushnie Et Ochs Two Toned Lips! Our New Makeup Goals!

Going down couture memory lane, several seasons ago two tone fashions were all the rage. Every dress, skirt and jacket had to be multiple tints. Now it looks like the face is getting the same treatment.

The Cushnie et Ochs two toned lips incorporated bold shades of red and pink. The inspiration behind the look came from the film Scarface. Since we weren’t alive when the iconic film was released a quick Google education filled in the gaps.

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer’s character is one sassy siren! Moreover, her attitude is an alluring mix of Marilyn Monroe, Rihanna and Kate Moss rolled into one. A famous line heralded by Pfeiffer is, “Don’t call me ‘baby’. I’m not your baby!” Ugh, like totally obsessed now!

What we also liked about the two tone lip is that it looks great on a multitude of skin tones. Sometimes it seems that not every runway look translates that well on all skin colors or in “real life.” Nevertheless, we felt Cushnie et Ochs versions worked on all the girls and looked absolutely lovely.

Hair Trends: Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair

Arianne September 13, 2016September 13, 2016Leave a Comment

NYFW is keeping it ninety-nine plus one right now in the hair department. From the shows we have witnessed thus far it seems as though hair trends for next year will be fresh and modern. One look that we are currently dying for is Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair. This hairstyle is simply a Californian’s dream!

Hair Trends: Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair

Growing up in Socal your life consists of sun, beach, wind, bonfire and water. The old wash, rinse and repeat. Even with such consistency Cali life is relaxed and glamorously cool.

People love our laid back style out here and we love to serve it. Beachy waves and slick hair screams Cali girl because we all like to think of ourselves as fashionable, water sports lovers addicted to Ventura Boulevard. Maybe that is why we went B-A-N-A-N-A-S for the Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 wet hair.

The overall look is slightly damp hair with more defined waves towards the front that loosen closer to the ends. As a result, hair looks youthful and voguish. We love this hair and thought it complemented the fruity, printed and light palette of the Altuzarra designs nicely.

How did you spend your Labor Day Weekend? Nicki Minaj chose to heat things up in Sin City. The sassy hip hop artist was spotted in Las Vegas in sexy designer duds. Scroll on dolls, we breakdown Nicki Minaj in La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit and the rest of her hot OOTD!

Spotted: Nicki Minaj in La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit

Okay Nicki baby we see you girl! Miss Minaj posed it out for the cameras in a La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit which retails for $3,844. The detailing of the jumpsuit showed off Nicki’s sought after physique and cough, girls (LOL).

The cute jumpsuit also includes cut-outs that trace the shapely outline of the lady wearing it. We love this aspect because it gives the illusion of a smaller form. Therefore, if you are packing like a girl from a Sir Mix A Lot music video then this fashion will give you a more slimming effect instantly. It is just like if you were to wear stripes vertically instead of horizontally. Here’s a closer look at her La Perla jumpsuit:

The lingerie inspired trend continues to gain speed among the rich and famous. You may be reminded of Amber Rose’s Tom Ford slash La Perla VMAs look. Nevertheless, we digress.

Minaj finished off her ensemble with nude tinted heels and a Chanel handbag. Her jewelry stayed within the gold family. Accessories included a watch, rings and chain link bracelet.

Hair Notes: Nicki Minaj rocked some serious hair down-to-there with her La Perla Neoprene Desire Jumpsuit. Moreover, she kept her tresses straight and sleek. The overall combination reads seductive and foxy chic.

Hair Quickie: How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 6, 2016September 5, 2016Leave a Comment

How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color? This post will dive into how to choose the right color for your skin tone. Of course, there are plenty of fun colors trending right now. For instance, Vogue Italia for their big September issue is featuring four models with blue, orange, pink and yellow hair. You may want cotton candy or fire engine red hair but will it really be the best color for you? Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind.

Hair Quickie: How to Quickly Figure Out The Best Hair Color

Tip #1 The best hair color is one that is flattering to your skin tone and eyes. Most likely you already know your natural eye color well. To figure out your skin tone take a glance at the inside of your forearm. This area is usually not contacted by the sun giving you a pretty accurate picture of your skin tone. Test out different tints using this color (skin tone) as your guide.

Tip #2 Just freaking wig out! Not out of stress but seriously head to a beauty supply store and test out different colored wigs. For free you will be able to see which colors look best.

Tip #3 Find your celebrity twin. Hair experts swear by this trick. Look for a celebrity who shares the same eye color and skin tone as you. Celebrities tend to change their hair color often in order to seem innovative and on trend. Therefore, if they look fabulous in certain hair hues you know you will too.

Beauty Quickie: Layering Bobbi Brown Moisturizer

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

True or false? All skin needs in order to stay soft, supple and youthful looking is moisturizer? Okay, that is actually slightly a loaded question. Nevertheless, layering moisturizers has been picking up steam among beauty experts because doubling up may just be necessary. Bobbi Brown has answered the call with her moisturizers. Here’s how layering Bobbi Brown Moisturizer can give you amazing skin!

Beauty Quickie: Layering Bobbi Brown Moisturizer

Why do you need to layer moisturizers? One may not be good enough due to all the elements skin must face on a daily basis. Just think about it. From weather, hormones and of course aging, skin gets put through H-E double hockey sticks.

Therefore, the reasons you may choose to layer could fall into one of these categories:

Dry Skin – If you naturally have dry skin doubling up can give your skin the opportunity to retain moisture.
Dry, Arid, Windy Weather– This occurs a lot during wintertime. This type of weather literally can zap up moisture so you might want to give your skin a little extra hydration.
Mature Skin – Sadly as we age it becomes harder to keep skin hydrated this can lead to gasp wrinkles. Grandma passed a “black don’t crack” secret down to us years ago. In short, the key is moisturizing daily and well. So then, as you plus one every year you may consider tacking on the layer technique in your beauty regimen.

Layering Bobbi Brown Moisturizer

Bobbi Brown cosmetics have two moisturizing products that make the layering technique a cinch. However, remember regardless what products you choose to double the first should be a lightweight emollient and the second one a product that truly fits your skin’s needs. Lightweight first just so you do not worry about clogging your pores.

Bobbi Brown recommends using their Hydrating Moisturizer first. Next, apply the Bobbi Brown Extra Balm. This doubling up is a favorite during New York Fashion Week. So then, layer up and let your inner supermodel beauty out!
