Rose Palhares New African Aesthetic Lookbook

Arianne Suggs October 14, 2015October 14, 2015Leave a Comment

Rose Palhares the genius behind the Angolan fashion brand bearing her name has but together a stunning lookbook that showcases the immense beauty found in African designs. Back in her homeland Rose is revered as “The Fashion Princess” and she has the fashion chops and accolades to back up such a honorary nickname. Palhares won Designer of the Year in 2013 and has been bestowed with the privilege of representing Angolan style at Milan’s Expo 2015.

In regards to the lookbook aptly entitled “New African Aesthetic” that is definitely the vibe we instantly received from it upon first sight. Of course, you will notice west African flavor that is famous for its powerful use of boisterous colors and animal prints including leopard and zebra. Nevertheless, Rose Palhares manages to take iconic styles and morph them into modern, newly envisioned masterpieces!

The overall styling is just as eye-catching as the designs themselves. Models Elsa Baldaia and Silvia Costa both wear bold gold jewelry with hair fashioned into Bantu Knots. Moreover, do not even get us started with the makeup honey! Strong brows, colorful smoked out eyes and some bangin’ dark lip color gave Elsa and Silvia a sultry allure. All hail the fabulous Rose Palhares, The Fashion Princess!

Fashion Lookbook By DeAnna S. Reid Featuring Clothes Minded Boutique

Arianne Suggs September 28, 2015September 28, 2015Leave a Comment

Photographer DeAnna S. Reid has once again captured a cool fashion vibe. Reid lensed a shoot in Phoenix, Arizona featuring couture from Clothes Minded Boutique (yeah, we absolutely adore the pun too). Reid called upon the talents of model, Samantha Daniels to bring her voguish vision to life!

The overall look showcases how to make the over-sized, baggy style streamlined and chic. If you are afraid of losing your curves then accentuate or create some with the help of some well placed accessories. For this look in particular Daniels’ waist was highlighted with the help of a belt. Moreover, a few buttons were left undone near the top of her shirt to show off a little skin. Lastly, a gorgeous designed necklace brings the whole outfit together seamlessly.

Plaid always works well during the fall and winter seasons. It is a very relaxed style but still adds some pizazz due thanks to its print design as well as colors. Pair a plaid top with shorts, tights, pants or skirts and you have a simplistic yet modernistic ensemble.

Lookbook By DeAnna S. Reid Featuring The Artist Cierra Lynn And Love Lavish Clothing

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 24, 2015September 23, 2015Leave a Comment

Photographer DeAnna S. Reid has captured yet another set of edgy fashion portraits showcasing modern urban streetstyle. Reid photographed model, Nafeesah Jones in the heart of Tempe, Arizona. Fashions worn by Jones included two tops that we want in our closets ASAP.

Black is beautiful in all of it’s stunning shades ranging from light to deeper tones. Being proud of who we are and being comfortable in our own skin is the new movement and focus of young black women the world over. The Melanin tee by The Artist Cierra Lynn encompasses the essence of being an ebony goddess. It is a fun piece that holds and makes a powerful statement.

Skin does not need to be out of the question just because fall is here. As demonstrated by this lookbook lensed by DeAnna S. Reid – a little reveal can have a sassy effect. We love this black crop top by Love Lavish Clothing with the deep V cut and twist detailing. If you want all eyes on you, this is the top that will make it happen! Nevertheless, due to its sexy design, keep accessories simple so that the crop top remains the real star of your fashion show.

Fashionable Mention: Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Andy Warhol Collection

Arianne Suggs September 16, 2015September 16, 2015Leave a Comment

This collection made its debut earlier in the year and we were curious as to how it would be received. Personally, we thought the collection was in a word… cool. Being lovers of art and fashion it seemed to be a match made in style heaven. Converse coming together with the genius that was Andy Warhol.

Who just was Andy Warhol you ask? Warhol was an American artist who revolutionized what we now call pop art. Andy enjoyed seeing the artistic marriage between pop as well as celebrity culture and 1960’s advertisement.

One shoe from the Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Andy Warhol collection that we still get a kick out of and that is still retailing strong is the Campbell’s Soup rendition. Maybe its because it gives us flashbacks to childhood or that it is simply epic to see a famous painting come to fashion life. It also makes us think of an old dance video…

Fashionable Mention: Marc Jacobs Decadence

Arianne Suggs September 15, 2015September 15, 2015Leave a Comment

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no it is just the coolest fragrance design you have ever seen! We love when designers step outside the box and create a full on masterpiece. Of course half the reason fragrances sale so well is due to their captivating and alluring notes. However, for some of us a perfume’s overall packaging can also sway us to have the register ringing.

We are loving Marc Jacobs newest fragrance Decadence which comes packaged as a chic purse-shaped bottle. Jacobs says he wanted his fragrance to truly be indulgent. Indulgence means the act or practice of gratifying a desire or passion. Decadence includes sensuous notes of Bulgarian rose, papyrus woods as well as Italian plum. So then, give in to your desire to have one decadent fragrance.
