Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses on Erykah Badu

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

No not the movie our loves! “The Fugitive” is a chic pair of sunnies that is making their way onto the faces of all the rich and fabulous. From singers to models they are all copping a pair faster than you can utter, “Say what?!” Therefore, today we are giving the Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses a Fashionable Mention!

Fashionable Mention: Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses

It is very difficult to make something look super modern without it being sort of corny or contrived. However, designer Adam Selman is having no problems giving his Adam Selman x Le Specs sunglasses collection some serious edginess. The Fugitive comes across as a design playing off the classic cat-eye shape, just slightly more exaggerated.

However, Adam’s ingenuity and aesthetic talents are no surprise to anyone. This is the very man responsible for Rihanna‘s iconic CFDA gown. Furthermore, if you are keeping up with Rih’s killer Cannes 2017 looks Selman is behind the dress she wore to the Chopard Space Party. Also, who of us can forget his show-stopper human bouquet look from his Fall 2017 fashion show? The man is a fresh breath of air in fashion and just gets it!

Therefore, who all is giving the Adam Selman The Fugitive Sunglasses a spin? Too many starlets to count, but some of our favorites to rock the look include the one-of-a-kind Erykah Badu as well as model GiGi Hadid. Social “It Girl” Sophia Richie has also been spotted in The Fugitive. Therefore, it is obvious that this is great, trendy fashion accessory, but the question is would you wear these babies?

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2017May 19, 2017Leave a Comment

Long or short this doll can rock it all! Skai Jackson continues to kill the game in fashion, beauty and hair. This week she is taking home our trophy for Hair of the Week for her beyond chic hairstyle we spotted at the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere!

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

For the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere (whew, say that fives times fast) Skai Jackson wore a textured bob. Adding texture gives hair slightly more body and dimension. We are almost feeling like this hair look should be considered a lob, since it falls right at shoulder length. However, her amazing stylist says bob, so its a bob hunty! Skai Jackson’s cute hairstyle is a creation of Los Angeles hair stylist, Alexander Armand.

Nevertheless, the part of this particular style that we loved the most is her bang. The length was absolutely perfect. It wasn’t so short that it looked odd or so long that it looked uncomfortably resting in her eyes. It was just right and added a nice touch of panache to the overall look.

Fashion Notes: Did you think we were really going to leave you hanging on the fashion tip ladies? Skai’s dazzling printed floor length dress is by Alice + Olivia. At times, long dresses can really drown a petite girl. However, the tailoring on this dress ensures that Jackson isn’t “lost” in the design. She is wearing it, instead of it wearing her.

It’s Finally Here! Check Out the Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2017May 19, 2017Leave a Comment

We have all waited patiently and the moment is finally here! Luxury jewelry and accessories label Chopard promised that RiRi’s collaborative collection would finally make its big debut at one of the biggest film festivals in the world. As a result, we are excited to say… They delivered! We have your first look at The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal!

It’s Here! The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Reveal

She just can’t slay us like this! Rihanna’s Chopard collection is voguish and oozing with glamour. The imagery captured for the collection which is now on display is sophisticated and high-end. Fashioned in a very simple side profile pose, Fenty showcases a few of her magnificent pieces.

Probably the most recognizable piece is the Rihanna Loves Chopard Chandelier Earrings. These dazzling couture adornments shine bright with jewel encrusted florals and butterflies beaming of boisterous, vibrant hues. The overall look is reminiscent of spring and all of its blossoming flowers.

All year long Rihanna has been blessing us with previews of her collection. For instance at the 2016 Grammy Awards Rih hit the red carpet in her chandelier earrings. Moreover, more recently there was a spotting during the 2017 Met Gala. Of course, it was hard for anyone to take their eyes off of Rihanna’s Comme des Garcons garb as well as HOT Dsquared sandals. However, if you looked past all that fabulousness you may have gazed upon a few more pieces from the Rihanna Loves Chopard collection. Well played RiRi!

The Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival Dinner

The queen of slay continues to set the level high for trends. Rihanna stunned in a gorgeous noire gown by Ralph and Russo. Her amazing stylist, Mel Ottenberg, finished her ensemble with a matching clutch handbag by Roger Vivier and of course, Chopard jewelry.

We love how Rih used her beauty accessories to add a pop of color to her luxurious look. On her nails and lips we spy a rouge infusion. The color red denotes sass, allurement, sex appeal and love. All terms that perfectly reflect Rihanna as well as her collection.

Rihanna’s hair for the dinner is textbook. When wearing such a structural, statement piece hair should be kept simple in order not to distract. Our Badgal’s tresses were pulled back into a sleek chignon with deep middle part for extra drama.

Rihanna Loves Chopard Jewelry Cannes Film Festival- Play Time!

“Playing around in my Rihanna Loves Chopard Collection!” That was Rihanna’s excited announcement on social during her Chopard festivities. Miss Fenty modeled several luxe jewelry pieces from her collection, each making her “shine bright like a diamond.”

Rihanna also took a moment to thank Chopard for the collaboration. She states,

“Thank you to the wonderful Caroline Scheufele for such an unbelievable opportunity to create high end jewelry for the first time in my career. Had a blast tonight at the official launch for our collaboration! RiRi Loves Chopard!”

Congratulations to Rihanna and Chopard on a lovely collaboration and collection. Furthermore, we can’t wait to see what Rihanna designs next!

Item: Karrueche‘s glamorous belted look seen as Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws.’

You Asked: Hey I’ve been really trying to change up my style because I want to be a model one day. And I really like Karrueche’s dress from today. Do you guys know who makes it?

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

The Verdict: We really like Karrueche’s OOTD too! The off the shoulder trend is still red hot so Miss Tran is flexing her “It Girl” style status. Her dress is actually not a dress at all. Karrueche’s awesome stylist, Byron Javor revealed that it is a chic jacket by Fendi. Javor simply converted the jacket into a dress that effortlessly fits Tran’s petite and toned frame.

Furthermore, in order to not get lost in the jacket Karrueche belted her ensemble. Her belt is a design by BCBGMAXAZRIA which matched her Fendi jacket’s pockets. Her black belt not only helps to bring her look together with cohesion, but also aids in enhancing Karrueche’s waistline. Belts are an excellent and simple accessory to utilize in order to create an hourglass figure even when wearing bulky garments.

Nevertheless, no outfit is complete without a bomb pair of heels. Tran’s cute ankle strap heels are a sexy design by luxury shoe designer, Giuseppe Zanotti. 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.

What’s “old” can still be classic!

Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016

In girl world there are two things that are usually considered to be fashion suicide. one is repeating an outfit too soon in the cycle. The other is rocking something considered to be “so last week.”

Nevertheless, Harris proves that you can still look fab in something from a past season with it feeling fresh and new. Actress Naomie Harris is currently attending the 2017 Cannes Film Festival for her latest film, Ismael’s Ghost. For her big Cannes 2017 red carpet moment she wore a gown from the Gucci Fall 2016 collection.

Her take on the Gucci ensemble is different from the original design seen coming down the Gucci catwalk. Long gone is the one shoulder floral top. Naomie replaced it with a spaghetti strap bodice in matching striped colors. This change gave her OOTD more of a spring and summery vibe.

The last component of Naomie Harris’ Cannes outfit were accessories. She paired her bold gown with a beautiful, delicate necklace from Atelier Swarovski. A nice touch that grabs a little spotlight while keeping attention on the main garment.

Furthermore, most ladies would be shocked to know that they are in fact NOT wearing the right size sports bra. Therefore, why should this be addressed and what are some quick tips in order to locate the perfect fit?

Fitness Tips: How to Find the Right Size Sports Bra

Many girls wonder, “Do I really need a properly fitting sports bra?” Let’s answer that with an additional question, “Would you want a sexy, toned dime piece body with stretched out droopy boobs?” Of course not!

The bust should be lifted as well as firm and a good bra can help it stay that way. However, when engaging in activity requiring a lot of movement while wearing the wrong sports bra, it can unfortunately throw a monkey wrench into your fitness. The wrong fit will not help to give you the support that you really need. This can lead to irritation as well as tons of discomfort. Something us girls can all agree on that we would like to avoid, especially since it’s tough enough to pause a Netflix binge to huff and puff for half an hour.

Therefore, let’s get to it dolls! Here’s a comprehensive chart with everything you need to know in order to choose the right size sports bra.
