Her sister slayed last Friday at the Tom Ford Fall 2015 fashion show and yesterday Solange brought the fashion heat as well! Solange wore a red cape top and pant from the Christian Siriano Fall 2015 collection. We loved the wavy shoulder length hair and the matchy-matchy lip color. Designer Christian Siriano took to his Instagram last night proclaiming the “Lady in Red” a Beauty.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell looked like a glitzy masterpiece as she walked the red carpet for the Tom Ford Fall 2015 runway show. Her one shoulder/sleeve gown was captivating and seductive. A dress like this perfect if you have a nice pair of guns (arms) like Naomi. Fashion should always show off your best assets.

Beautiful and bold eyes will never go out of style even if the seasons change. For spring and summer look cool with the help of a little blue. Blue eyeshadow was spotted during fashion shows for Jean Paul Gaultier, Elie Saab and Emanuel Ungaro. This look can be kept simple with just the color being applied to the waterline or go bolder by pulling the blue eyeshadow color into a cat-eye makeup look.

Every season it seems as though nail designs are becoming more and more detailed as well as heavily embellished. Case in point, the nail art and manicures that were created for the The Blonds Spring/Summer 2015 fashion show. Manicurists were told to freely create and they did not disappoint!
Nail designs included stripes, bold colors, roses and even corset inspired styles. One that stood out to us incorporated chains and a different nail shape that has become popular. While nails recently have been shaped into pointy tips, seeing longer length with squared tips was quite refreshing.

The thing about fashion week is that it makes you just want to skip over various seasons in order to start wearing some of these awesome fashions! For example, the Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2015 show just blew us away with all of the exquisite tailoring, sophisticated designs and lovely emerald green ensembles. Now of course, Lais Ribiero would look amazing even in a paper sack, but when Lais walked out in an emerald green jumpsuit it was OVER! Just wave your hands in the air from side to side like you don’t care goodness!
As you have probably noticed, this post has included some bolding as well as several exclamation points. Can’t you just feel our excitement over this piece? Besides the lush and plush emerald green shade we are in love with the plunging V neck line. If you have ever wanted an outfit to show off every last one of your curves then this jumpsuit is definitely it.

While some of us are making sacrifices at the hair color bar altar praying gray strands stay faraway from our heads. There are other women who are willingly going gray via dyed hair jobs. You may recall celebrities such as Rihanna getting in on the gray hair revolution. Nevertheless, now things are being stepped up a bit by adding in an ombre effect.
Ombre hair color is where the hair color starts off dark and gradually gets lighter as you move towards the tips or ends of strands. Besides RiRi, actress Dascha Polanco who plays on the hit show Orange is The New Black went gray ombre with purple tips. This hair tint can be extremely rough or harsh on your hair. Therefore, what can you do to protect your hair if you are thinking of going gray?
Going to such extreme colors means that you should take extreme measures to protect your hair. It is recommended that you pre-treat or prep your hair with oils and deep conditioners for about a week before the process. Dying your hair can be quite drying which is why some women end up with a “fried” hair look. Moreover, deep conditioning your locks will be be necessary since your tresses will need to be lifted to a platinum blonde shade in order for the true color to show up.
What if your natural hair color is very dark? For women with natural darker shade of hair keep in mind that going so light will not be a simple walk-in and walk out process. It should be noted that in order to safely dye your hair gray it usually takes two processes.
Now we are not talking about the popular girls from the movie Mean Girls (but hey we love em’), this post is about those cute accessories used to adorn your amazing ensembles. Shiny, bright plastic accessories are perfect when you want to infuse some playful fun into your outfit. It’s almost like being Barbie for a day…minus the Corvette, mansion and hot bod boyfriend/hubby (Ken).
Fashion Notes: We spotted this trend during the Moschino fashion show. Do not be afraid to play with color, but keep it to a minimum so that all colors get harmoniously married together.
