Diggy Simmons is all grown up and still making all us girls want to throw him our digits (LOL)! Simmons is following in the steps of his sisters and getting down on the fashion tip. His beautiful sisters, Angela and Vanessa, in the past have designed stylish collections right down to shoe wear. However, Diggy isn’t going that particular route. You see Diggy doesn’t create designer fashions, he just rocks the heck out of them! His big fashion is definitely one for the books. Let us tell you more about Diggy Simmons Walks For Dolce and Gabbana Fall-Winter 17.

Diggy Simmons Walks For Dolce and Gabbana Fall-Winter 17

People have their squads, tribes or a crew. However, the Dolce and Gabbana brand for their recent menswear runway show presented their DG millenials. The new crop of male models that are giving the fashion house a more exclusive look.

For his walk down the runway Simmons wore a black tailored jacket with floral accents. These details harmonized very well with his floral print pant. We loved the use of a bow tie which gave the ensemble even more character.

Nevertheless, it was refreshing to see florals apart of a fall/winter collection. Normally, we all are very familiar with seeing such a look during the spring season. Winter fashion tends to lean more toward the drab end of things with tones including dark blues, grays and black. However, this change of pace gives guys the opportunity and freedom to break the rules as well as experiment with not color but prints. Love this pairing great job Diggy you should do this more often!

India Westbrooks Wears Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls

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

Here’s a little bit of fashion truth: Overalls are basically cool from pre-school up to 2nd grade. Then they quickly lose their appeal. However, a new crop of awesome designers are taking this classic and giving it a fresh remixed modern spin. Our favorite pick of this sudden overall revival hails from a couture genius stationed in London town. Check out his unique vision… India Westbrooks Wears Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls.

India Westbrooks Wears Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls

Ugh… we just love edgy couture! The Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls ooze effortless cool vibes. Miss India Westbrooks took one of her recent photo shoots to new levels by adorning herself with head-to-toe Digby Jackson fashions.

The petite beauty wore the stylish Chemical Plant Overalls/Dungarees with yeti shoes. Moreover, she mixed retro with revision by opting to forgo a shirt. Google the chick from Come On Eileen and you will see exactly what we mean. Furthermore, the overalls are so fashion forward that its unisex. Both girls and boys can kill it so we have to tip our hats off to Jackson for such a versatile design.

Nevertheless, India is in good celebrity company when it comes to wearing the DJ brand. Serayah, Fergie Ferg as well as Sofia Richie have all worn Digby Jackson digs. Its the cool kids brand and we are excited to witness the full on fashion domination in the future.

Hair Notes: If you are going to wear clothing that’s already “in your face” it is best to keep hair simple. Doing so has two fold benefits. One you will not overpower your outfit allowing the focus to remain on your statement pieces. Also, you will keep the look very clean instead of overworked.

High Ponytail Hairstyles: Blac Chyna ‘Raises’ The Bar

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

This season strands are going to new heights! Want to be on trend? Then learn to aim higher darling. Go for the hair gold by rocking high ponytail hairstyles. We spied Blac Chyna taking things up a bit and the result was absolutely stunning.

High Ponytail Hairstyles: Blac Chyna ‘Raises’ The Bar

Hair shouldn’t be a headache. High Ponytail Hairstyles are easy hair looks that can command attention effortlessly. Raise a hand if you remember Queen Bey‘s high ponytail Met Gala hairstyle. Her fierce tail turned heads even though in essence it was a simplistic and incomplex hairdo.

Blac Chyna’s ponytail was created using virgin hair from Kendras Boutique. The boutique sells not only extensions but also hair products and styling tools such as flat irons too. Nevertheless, Blac Chyna switched things up from her signature raven tone locks and opted for a fab platinum blonde shade. Moreover, Chyna added texture to her look by incorporating loose waves. Furthermore, the tail received an extra dose of chic by wrapping a few strands around all elastics so that they are hidden.

Beauty Notes: Blac Chyna’s makeup is a perfect look for spring. Makeup artist Jolisa Jackson aka Jo, created a look that incorporated delicious peachy as well as pink hues. The color peach is a subtle tone that denotes demureness, innocence and purity. Moreover, pink is romantic, feminine, playful and considered the tint of love due to being associated with red and white. Nevertheless, since most think of spring as being a time of renewal, vitality, pureness, hope and love such a beauty look is very fitting.

They had us at Tupac. We almost made this a Get Your Man Right feature, but because we seriously want a pair too we re-thought things (HaHa). These socks are already making 2017 leaps and bounds better than 2016. We are ready to do hard fashion time, Tupac Stance Socks… leggo!

Tupac Stance Socks…2017 Is Already Winning

Stance Socks continues to raise their bar when it comes to design. After the Rihanna collaboration and Star Wars collection we didn’t think things could get anymore epic. We are glad to say that we were fabulously wrong. Stance just leveled up and are about to majorly cash in.

Why socks with Tupac Shakur’s likeness? Stance answers, “In the 1990s’ [rapper] Tupac Shakur was one of the most dynamic and influential hip hop stars of our generation. [Tupac] Shakur will always be remembered for his gritty, yet poetic lyricsand his outspoken views on the system. With the support of photographer Mike Miller Stance Anthem presents 2pac for Anthem Legends.”

Bomb. So far not much press has emerged regarding the Tupac Stance Socks, however, SM is quickly changing that landscape. First images of the socks are spreading like wildfire across all platforms. Moreover, its a design that is quite unisex. We have seen both male and females have a high desire to claim these bad boys. Here are a few of the expressions we have seen in the past 24 hours:

“NEED NEED NEED!”

“Thug life.”

“Lol I never thought you guys [Stance] would cross that bridge… you have officially proven me wrong and now I will go buy a pair.”

“Sweet!!”

“I need your shoe size! Cuz you need these!”

“TAKE MA MONEY!!!”

“Them boas cold.”

“Another reason why we love stance socks.”

“2sock Shakur.”

“Gonna cop em.”

“You know I’m getting these ASAP!!! Lol.”

Tupac Stance Socks Cop Them

Many share the same sentiments as us. Also, that 2sock Shakur left us deceased and won the Internet. So let’s talk price ladies and gents. The Tupac Stance Socks retail for only $20! Get free shipping in the U.S. on orders over $25. Therefore, get you man and yourself a pair and enjoy the sweet reward of waving the shipping fee.

The socks come in two sizes so far, medium as well as large. Sucks for those of us with smaller feet but that’s just how the cookie crumbles. Cop yours now by going here.

Fun Fact: Did you Stance also sells for The Hot boyz and Juvenile? He’s still taking ova for the 99 and 2000!

So many awesome campaigns are being revealed on the daily we can barely catch our breath! The model of century has done it again with yet another stunning ad campaign. Nevertheless, this time it’s double trouble because she is sharing the limelight with a very handsome co-star. Let us tell more about Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign.

Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign

She could wear a sack and we’d still buy it! Luckily, Naomi Campbell is working it in a chic collection of denim. Campbell is apart of the Givenchy family slash gang and was chosen for the Spring/Summer 2017 ad campaign. Campbell commented on her latest project stating, “Meet the new Givenchy jeans SS17 (Spring/Summer 2017) pinups. I love you Riccardo Tisci, thank you for always pushing me out of my comfort zone for another great project.”

Miss Campbell out of her comfort zone? Seems so far fetched since she always dazzles us with her body of work. However, when you ponder her statement it does start to make a lot of sense. As they say in order to be great you have to step outside your own box. Therefore, Naomi proves that unless you change you will remain the same.

Nonetheless, in the ad campaign Naomi shares camera time with male model, Justin Levy. The pair’s chemistry is electric with both serving face as well as amazing physiques. The renown and extremely talented Carine Roitfeld styled the campaign with the fabulous photog duo, Luigi and Lango creating art behind the lense. Kudos to all involved everything came out exquisitely!
