Ask and Tell: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set

Arianne Suggs July 4, 2017July 4, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set as seen at the 2017 Shaggfest.

You Asked: Hey 1966! Ever since you posted that mermaid color dress on Ashanti I have been stalking her page lol! I love her. I love her clothes. And I saw this green and black look that is slaying my life! I’m going away so I want this so bad. I cannot find it on the site online anywhere. Do you have any information on this?

Ask and Tell: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set

The Verdict: Hey Love! You are not alone. So many girls hit us up about Ashanti’s killer summer concert attire. However, we hate to break to you, there is good news and bad news regarding the Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set. The bad news is this ensemble is not up on the Angel Brinks Fashions website yet. The brand released the following statement in lieu of all the demand Ashanti stirred up, stating,

“Ashanti x Shaggfest 2017. She’s performing wearing a two piece set from our boutique collection (not up on the website just yet).”

That was two days ago. However, hours later we found this out from Angel Brinks, “Everyone’s crazy about this bathing suit set! It sold out in store before I can make it available on my website. We got more in… If you want one call in tomorrow and order yours. Available in small, medium and large. (323) 455-2336.”

So then, hit those digits! Also, notice that belt Ashanti is wearing? It is called “King Lion” and it is up on the site for purchase, so you can at least buy that part online now!

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Black Celebrity Beauty Looks Week of August 17, 2015

Arianne Suggs August 21, 2015August 21, 2015Leave a Comment

This week we have seen some gorgeous ladies posting up some pretty little photos of themselves! From singers to models, from snapchat to Facebook several celebs hit the social media platforms with some heavy hittas. Here are a few of our favorites spotted over the course of the week.

Ciara has been busy promoting her album Jackie and stopped by CBS Morning Show and posed it out with Gayle King. It does not take much to make this natural beauty look glamorous, but that red lip color is simply killer!

There is some much to love about this pic! Alicia Keys looks like an exotic queen with her bold pop of color lipstick and full eyelashes. Always on trend we also got a kick out of her septum nose ring.

Ashanti decided to break Snapchat instead of the internet when she posted this little number. Although looking quite natural in the photo can we get an Amen for those full eyebrows? Work it Ashanti!

Ugh… even while chilling at the zoo Joan Smalls looks like she belongs on somebody’s cover or in an editorial! Joan snapped a quick Lemur picture while at the Taronga Zoo and looked like the most chic one of the pack with her lush purple lip shade.

Hairstyles for Black Women: Top Knot Hairstyles

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 5, 2015July 22, 2015Leave a Comment

During this time of year women want two things: a dress that hides the fact that we have been eating and a hairstyle that is so simple that a two year-old could assemble it. The heat here in California has been a wild roller coaster of emotion for all of us. It’s scorched us some days, been so humid the air feels like we are climbing Everest and then it has poured cats as well as dogs from the heavens. With such drastic changes simplicity in hairstyle sounds like the most beautiful melody ever created.

A quick yet modern hairstyle for black women is the stylish top knot. The pros of this hairstyle are that all hair is up as well as off of you and this look can work for day or nighttime. Nevertheless, it is clear that you will look good, but does the top knot hairstyle pass the easy to design test?

We found a tutorial that shows you how to style it in under 2 minutes!

Okay, but what about the natural girls? Relax, we got y’all too 😉

What if you have longer tresses? Then watch our girl Brittany!

Here’s a little fmore top knot hair inspiration from some glamorous black women just in case you are still on the fence regarding this style:
