We just want to have a fashion sandwich with Dan and Dean Caten! These chic masterminds behind the Dsquared brand have once again showcased stylish ingenuity. How so? Well, for Milan Fashion Week the duo hit the crowd with the Dsquared Fall 2018 Cowboy Boot Sandal. All we can say is, “Yippie-Ky-Ay!”
Fashionable Mention: Dsquared Fall 2018 Cowboy Boot Sandal From Milan Fashion Week
Let’s keep it 99 plus 1… These are not your average sandal heels! For their Dsquared Fall 2018 collection the label marries together the vintage old west with modern flair. Their Cowboy Boot Sandal at first glance resembles a normal cowboy boot with leather, rhinestones, cow hide patterns and other studded detailing. However, the real fun begins with the sandal cut-outs, straps as well as sharp, thin high heel. Bomb.
Therefore, how can one pair these shoes with garments currently in their closet? You might be surprised, but it honestly would not be hard at all. These sandals will add fire to any Bohemian style dress or skirt. Also, boot cut denim as well as a black pleather/vegan pant will go seamlessly with this Dquared look.
Furthermore, we are always all for recycling a trend and making it feel fresh. For instance, last year denim suits (as spotted on Kelly Rowland) and jumpsuits (seen on Ciara and Teyana Taylor) heated up the fashion scene. Therefore, do not toss these ensembles out, just make them cool again. Update a denim suit or jumpsuit that you have in a cinch with a pair of these bad boy sandals. By incorporating something new, instantly your clothing with take on a more current impression.

The spanking new Moschino Spring Summer 2018Ad Campaign stars the legendary wait for it; Naomi Campbell, alongside ebony beauties, Aube Jolicoeur, Yasmin Wijnaldum as well as Elite model agency’s Adut Akench Bior. The ageless Campbell who’s career spans a historic three decades is often heralded as the queen of the catwalk; thus making her addition to the 2018 campaign visuals an iconic fit.
Beautiful Black Women: Moschino Spring Summer 2018 Ad Campaign Starring Naomi Campbell
The ad’s setting is a nice departure from what many may feel the vibe of a Spring/Summer campaign should typically entail. Think bright, airy, floral and flair. However, Moschino’s designer, Jeremy Scott takes fashion lovers on a different yet harmonious stylish ride!
The campaign’s backdrop is a couture fashion show similar to what one would see during New York, Paris, Milan or London Fashion Week. Naomi, Aube, Adut and Yasmin are pictured walking the runway one by one as photographers clamor for the coveted shot. When speaking of the ad campaign Jeremy Scott simply stated, “We’re not going to be shady, just fierce.” Words to live by Jeremy, words to live by.
So then, who was apart of the all star team that brought the Moschino Spring Summer 2018 Ad Campaign to life? The ad was captured by fashion royalty photographer, Steven Meisel. Hair and makeup duties were performed by Guido Palau as well as Pat McGrath. Furthermore, fashion styling was handled by Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele.

Barely more than a week into the new year and we already have our first Harry and Meghan sighting! For the duo’s first royal appearance of 2018 Meghan stunned onlookers in the Smythe Camel Brando Coat. The couple were seen on their way to Reprezent radio station in London’s Brixton district. The station is completely staffed by young people out of a community led complex made from old shipping containers.
Nevertheless, this is not the first time the future royal as adorned herself in this high-end brand. On another occasion, the actress was spotted wearing the label’s Smythe x Augden Ruffle Knit Sweater. Therefore, it is safe to say that for Meghan Smythe is an obvious fashion favorite.
However, Markle is not the only fan of chic Smythe designs. Several other celebrity style mavens such as Oscar winner, Halle Berry, have also hit the street in Smythe couture. For instance, Berry kept warm in a stylish leopard lab coat from the Smythe Spring/Summer 2017 collection.
But wait there’s more! In other Meghan Markle news, if you were looking to enjoy more Markle postings via social media; then, you’re in for a bit of bad news. The wife-to-be has made the decision to delete her Instagram as well as Twitter accounts.
Did all the royal attention prove to be too much? Or is this a requirement being placed on her? Meghan assures fans that this move of deletion is all her choice alone, no one else’s. Furthermore, she is deleting the accounts simply because they have not been used in a very long time.

When it comes to getting ready for school or work, sometimes time can be of the essence. We have one leg in our boot cut jeans, one arm hanging out of our crop top sweater and one free hand desperately applying layers of mascara. So then, as any busy girl can attest to, doing only what is truly necessary can really be the key to staying on top of a busy schedule. Therefore, when it comes to applying makeup, is primer makeup one of those things that can be skipped in order to save a few precious seconds? Girl, no! Allow us to answer this beauty question, by presenting some pretty compelling reasons why this vital step should never be ignored!
Primer Makeup- Can I Skip This Step to Save Some Time?
Let’s just be clear about one thing, primer is utilized for more than just the reason you think it is formulated to be used for when applied. For instance, most know that primer makeup is an excellent product to help create a very smooth canvas for your make up. Think of it like building a house. You don’t just build a house on un-level ground and hope that it will last and hold up. No, you level everything out so that it’s nice and smooth and then you build upon that. Confident that not only the house can now be built correctly, but it will also last for a very long time.
That is thrust as well as one of the benefits of using a primer. You are giving your make up a smooth base to be built upon. Plus, you’re also giving your make up what it needs to last longer as well as stay put.
Primer Makeup- The Common But Majorly Overlooked Benefit
Nevertheless, what is one of the other benefits of using primer make up that often gets overlooked? Here it is: it is great for your personal skincare routine. How so?
Primer has the ability to not only moisturize skin, but it can also create a protective barrier over the skin. The hydration part can be pretty self-explanatory due to the moisturizing ingredients found in most primers; however, you may be wondering just exactly how primer can provide protection?
Well, it accomplishes this by sealing in any skincare treatment products you may use during your daily skincare routine. This includes any moisturizer or sunscreen you may have previously applied, and yes us melanin girls need sunscreen too. However, more on that in our upcoming feature on the super cool product, Black Girl Sunscreen.
Primer Makeup- It Is Time to Choose, But How?
Nonetheless, now that you know why primer make up is awesome for not only cosmetics but for skincare products, you need to know which ones will work best for you. The best way to pick the right one is to choose a primer that works for your own skin type. You may need to ask yourself: Is my skin dry? Does my skin tend to be oily? Or perhaps, can my skin use a little help in order to have a more even tone?
After a little self reflection about your skin, you are now ready to pick a primer makeup product. Here are a few quick tips to keep in mind:
The Oily Skin Girl: Always look for a mattifying primer. These types of primers are your friend because it helps to keep any extra shine at bay. You may also choose to use a setting spray for even more shine control.
The Un-even Girl: Try using a color correcting primer to help even out your skintone. For instance, if you notice your skin includes redness from irritation look for a color correcting primer with green undertones. These types of primers can help to counteract any red in the skin.
The Dull Skin Girl: The best primer for you is an illuminating primer. This type of primer will help you to get your glow on thanks to reflective particles. No longer will your skin look dull and lifeless, but it will glisten with a slight sheen.
Primer Makeup- Don’t Waste It, How to Apply It The Right Way
Okay so we have learned why it’s important to use primer makeup as well as how to pick the right one. Nevertheless, now it will be a good idea to learn how to apply it correctly in order to gain the most benefits.
Start off by applying primer to a sponge or your fingers. Next, dab the primer onto your nose, chin, forehead as well as cheeks. Begin at the center of your face working out to the edges. Also, be sure to blend the primer make up into your skin by going in a downward direction.
Why apply make up going down? This is so those little hairs on your face will lay down nice and pretty. This very technique can also be used when applying foundation.
So there you have it primer is great for makeup as well as skincare. There are many ways to skip or cheat when doing your makeup but this is not one of them. Plus, when used correctly a primer makeup product can help you achieve the makeup finish of your dreams!
