Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018- And Why You Won’t Get a Ticket

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 2, 2017June 2, 2017Leave a Comment

Ouch! After reading that headline you may be in need of a little ointment due to that burn. However, we are also sure that you can appreciate the honesty. Yes, it’s true about Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018, but getting a ticket will be rougher than The Hunger Games. May the odds be forever in your favor!

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018 – And Why You Won’t Get a Ticket

There are two glaring reasons why getting to see Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018 will be next to impossible. For one, it is a high profile show that everyone and their mama are going to want to attend. That means celebs, their friends, industry, posers, world’s biggest hive as well as music enthusiasts that you will have to compete against. Moreover, Beyonce fans are still trying to scratch that musical itch after Bey had to cancel her headliner performance at this year’s Coachella.

Bey’s absence for 2017’s Coachella music festival was very valid. Her and Jay are extending their family thus making their cutie daughter, Blue Ivy, a big sis to twin siblings. Although, Beyonce had showed great gusto performing while preggers at the Grammys. It was ultimately decided that she would cancel her Coachella performance for her and her babies’ health.

Nevertheless, the cancellation did not mean an end to the whole Beyonce and Coachella situation. For awhile, rumors swirled around that Bey was told she could perform in 2018 if she wanted. Well, it looks like there was some truth to all that tea because Beyonce is performing and tickets are going on sale baby!

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018

You see…that’s the other problem. Pre-sale tickets go on sale today at 11 a.m. Pacific time. So if you’re reading this… it’s too late (LOL sorry we couldn’t resist). Yet, really though if money is tight, payday is next week or you didn’t have enough time to beg the parentals to give you the gift that truly matters. Then you may not be getting into the biggest BeyHive party in the desert.

Nevertheless, you didn’t think we going to be all doom and gloom right? The Coachella advance sale means its payment plan time! If you purchase tickets now you can slowly pay for your Coachella experience over the course of the year.

The official festival payment plan consists of 7 total payments. You pay an initial payment and over the course of six months you pay off the final six. So basically you have from June (this month) till December to get things squared with Coachella. Make sense?

However, if you do choose to go the payment plan route be sure to make each payment on time. If you fail to do so your order will be cancelled and you will be charged a $50 fee. Yikes.

The payment plan is only offered during presale. So if you want in we suggest you act fast. Happy planning Beyonce and music fest lovers!

You Asked: Hope you pick me! I want to ask about Porsha Williams swimsuit. She just posted about it and like some of her look. Mainly just the swimsuit. I like it because it is very African Queen. I wish she had done her hair differently and not so sure about the skirt thing she is wearing with it. But I love her swimsuit and I’m curious if the skirt is actually apart of it and how much it costs.

The Verdict: You have been picked honey! The printed swimsuit is by swimwear company, BFYNE. The brand has brought together high fashion and melanin magic which is why we adore their designs as well.

Porsha wore the BFYNE “Imaan” swimsuit while having some fun under the sun in Miami, Florida. Williams hosted a red hot yacht party and her fashion for the event fit the bill. Regarding her ensemble, no the black skirt is not apart of the BFYNE suit. It is made by celebrity favorite store, Reve Boutique. Therefore, if you wish to wear just the suit you certainly can.

Last, but oh not so least, we are sure you would like to know the price of the BFYNE swimsuit. It retails for $205.99.

Arianne Suggs May 30, 2017May 30, 2017Leave a Comment

The Halima Aden CR Fashion Book Beauty Story Shot by Felix Kim is beyond gorgeous! Miss Aden looks fierce in vibrant hues and her now famous smoldering gaze. Her beauty is effortless, yet that is only the beginning of what she hopes people will focus their attention on.

Halima Aden CR Fashion Book Beauty Story Shot by Felix Kim

Aden is a model that is helping to bring diversity to the fore in today’s fashion industry. Halima first made waves the first beauty pageant contestant to wear a hijab. Since then, Halima has yet to remove it. Aden has graced runways, editorials and magazines only proving that beauty comes in all forms.

Regarding why she works so hard to bring all beauty to the forefront, she says, “I remember being a little girl who couldn’t find a single picture that resembled me in any magazine. And today I am that picture that was missing from my childhood. I hope my journey will inspire [others] to have no limits. Because [they] all honestly deserve to win at life.”

Halima Aden continues this discussion in her latest interview with CR Fashion Book. She showcased her beauty story shot by Felix Kim online stating, “CR Fashion Book continues to redefine the beauty standard of our era.” CR Fashion Book responded in kind with a brief synopsis of their interview with Halima. The magazine reveals:

“‘One of my teachers told me to draw the Disney princess who I could most relate to and there wasn’t one.’ In an exclusive interview, Halima Aden opens up about paving the way for inclusiveness in fashion and beauty.

Fashionable Mention: Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides Spring / Summer 2017

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 27, 2017May 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Rihanna just seems to know how to speak fashion as well as lazy comfort. The iconic stylish risk taker has not yet failed in any of her shoe designs. From the constantly needing to be restocked Creepers to her Slides every last shoe has sold out. With a track record like that it is safe to say another best seller is here! Get ready to slide into summer with the Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides from the Spring / Summer 2017 Collection.

Fashionable Mention: Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides Spring / Summer 2017

The Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides are part child nostalgia and part ingenious design. Especially, when it comes to us girls. Yes, we love to torture our peds and ankles with heels that resemble medieval torture devices. However, at other times we just want a comfortable shoe to slide into and call it a day.

Case in point, the wild popularity of the UGG boot. Easy to put on, and a true gift from heaven for any relaxed, sweatpants/cramps from H-E double hockey sticks day. Jellies fall right into this wonderful category.

Fenty x Puma helped stir up even more excitement about the new jelly slides stating, “Introducing a new slide to the Fenty x Puma by Rihanna Collection. The Jelly Slide features a Puma logo on a textured, all over Jelly Strap and a whimsical diamond pattern outside.”

So far consumers who have purchased the jellies say that they love them. However, we have to agree it is a little fashionably depressing over the limited amount of colors available. So far you can get a pair in blue, black or pink.

Nevertheless, if the Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides sell well we are sure Rih with hit us with a round too of additional hues. So then, hang in there more is probably on the way. For now cop yourself a pair now for $90.

Ask and Tell: The Bombchel Kelly Rowland Custom Two Piece Set

Arianne Suggs May 26, 2017May 26, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: The Bombchel Kelly Rowland Custom Two Piece Set.

You Asked: HEY 1966! My question to you is about Kelly Rowland’s super cute outfit she had on during Beyonce’s push party. She look like an African goddess! I just love it and I think I saw who makes it. But you can tell me just in case lol! And I just would like to know how much it costs.

Ask and Tell: The Bombchel Kelly Rowland Custom Two Piece Set

The Verdict: Girl we do not blame you for wanting this fit! Kelly’s two piece set is gorgeous. As you may know Rowland’s ensemble is by Bombchel. The set is an instant hit ever since Kelly rocked it for the Carter push party which had an African theme.

Moreover, the look is so popular now that the fashion brand that makes it, renamed it! So if searching for it online you may see it being originally called the Pop Crop and Resort Life Skirt in Bombchel signature tie dye. However, if shopping at www.shopbombchel.com you will see it listed as Kelly Rowland’s Custom Two Piece Set because of it’s popularity. The set retails for $250.

Here’s a bit of a warning though. If you truly want this set you better act fast! Bombchel only has a very limited supply of this outfit left for sale. 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.
