Editor’s Diary: El Paseo Fashion Week 2015

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 22, 2015March 22, 2015Leave a Comment

El Paseo Fashion Week is in full effect and we are flexing our own fashion muscle. So then, how did we decide how to style ourselves for this stylish night out?

Alicia: I love the color red so it was a simple choice to go with a sassy red dress. I accessorized my look with a gold necklace and black/gold heels. I always believe that great fashion should accentuate your best assets.

Arianne: I wanted to go bold without being the loudest lady in the room! You can never go wrong with a nice print, and with stripes being a huge trend for spring, I felt it was the perfect choice for the night. As many women always fear, I dread being caught in the exact same ensemble as someone else. For this reason, knowing that most attendees [women] would opt for a dress or pant suit, I decided to go with shorts.

Fashion Notes: We couldn’t help ourselves we just had to share a quick tip! Don’t be afraid to let your fashions shine this spring/summer and we do mean literally. Shiny couture made with iridescent materials, plastic accessories (think Barbie) are a huge trend. Keep the look understated and streamlined by staying in the same color family or limiting yourself to no more than 3 tints.

Maybelline New York Master Glaze By FaceStudio

Arianne Suggs January 13, 2015January 13, 2015Leave a Comment

1966 Magazine Editor Alicia Suggs dishes on her new favorite beauty product and explains why it could just be your next beauty buy as well.

1966: Okay Alicia so tell us about this product that you are obsessed with now.

Alicia: Alright, it’s called Maybelline New York Master Glaze By FaceStudio and the shade that I am currently wearing in the picture is Make a Mauve. I love it because at times I have such a hard time finding a blush that will give me a more natural flush. I have a very yellow undertone to my skin so applying strong red or super pink blushes makes me look like Homie the Clown (laughs). Not a good look!

1966: What type of blush do you normally wear then?

Alicia: I usually just stick to a blush that is more peachy-orange. I find that such a shade is more universally pleasing on all skin tones so I stick to that family of tints. However, I love the look of rosy cheeks on women, to me it gives such a youthful, fresh look to the skin.

1966: Agreed. So then, why do you recommend Maybelline New York Master Glaze?

Alicia: If you have a strong undertone like me, you already know the struggle. This product seems to almost diffuse the yellow undertone giving me a nice warm complexion. Also, it lasts and stays on all day without having to reapply which helps save on product and money in the end.

1966: Thanks Alicia for taking the time the share and everyone go check out Maybelline New York Master Glaze by FaceStudio!

1966 Magazine Editors Fall/Winter Fashion 2014

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 13, 2014November 13, 2014Leave a Comment

Happy Thursday ladies we are almost to the weekend! To get over this last mid-week hump let’s talk some fall/winter fashion. So then, what do we like to wear when the temperature is on chill status?

Alicia: Can I get a sweater please? (laughter)

Arianne: Wave them in the air! (laughs)

Alicia: Exactly… I always enjoy wearing a sweater with a cute print or design. I find it takes the guesswork out of putting together an outfit in the mornings. I simply grab one of my sweaters and pair it with jeans, a neutral top as well as ankle boot heels and I’m out the door.

Arianne: I’m addicted to fur, faux of course, I love all animals. Nevertheless, I love fur vests, especially the ones with belts or ties so that my shape doesn’t get lost because I can emphasize a waistline.

Late Night Beauty Call: Lady in Red

Alicia Suggs February 21, 2014February 21, 2014Leave a Comment

Our beauty of the night is the talented and breath-taking, Magalie. This Haitian beauty is an artist, mother and can seriously throw down in a kitchen! When we’re not praising her for her gourmet dishes, her amazing style and fashion presence easily comes to the fore. Besides her smoldering eyes, we love how Magalie matched her lip color to her ensemble. Chic, simple yet oh so dramatic.
