Ask and Tell: Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel Dress

Arianne February 15, 2019February 15, 2019

The Item: Actress Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel sparkling fringe dress. The screen siren was spotted in her eye-popping look while in attendance for an after Grammy party.

You Asked: 1966 please help! I have been commenting on the Nichole Lynel page and no one is answering. I am trying to get some details regarding Lauren London’s dress. Can we buy it or not?

Ask and Tell: Lauren London Wearing Nichole Lynel Dress

The Verdict: Sorry guys, but the news on this look is currently a little stylishly sketch. While there is plenty of fashion evidence that this design does in fact exist. Now being spotted on the gorgeous Lauren London; however, to be honest we have not seen this head-turning design since the NL’s fab runway show.

We scoured the brand’s site and all of our detective work turned up zilch. Therefore, our conclusion is that Nichole has the look ready to go; it’s just not currently “in production.”

Nevertheless, now that much interest has been churned up thanks to London; perhaps NL will go ahead and make the look available for purchase. We believe it would sell extremely well thanks to its dazzling one-shoulder and fringe detailing. The perfect gown for a voguish night on the town. Nonetheless, as of now we will have to wait to see if this dress becomes apart of the official Nichole Lynel lineup.

Editor’s Diary: Pact Organic Women’s Charcoal Heather 3/4 Sleeve Robe

Arianne Suggs November 22, 2018November 22, 2018

Dear Diary,

I am in LOVE with my new robe from Pact!! Pact is an awesome couture label that sells fab organic pieces. The item I’m rocking is the Pact Organic Women’s Charcoal Heather 3/4 Sleeve Robe. It’s the perfect robe to lounge around during all seasons.

Editor’s Diary: Pact Organic Women’s Charcoal Heather 3/4 Sleeve Robe

How so? Well, for one thing it’s lightweight. It’s enough to keep you warm, but at the same time, won’t make you feel like you’re wearing a heavy medieval coat of mail.

Additionally, the sleeves are perfection being a 3/4 length. Great when you have to wash something or cooking something; and you don’t have to worry about rolling up your sleeves. Such a length makes this a nice “activity” robe.

Lastly, can we please give a round of applause to the designers who decided to incorporate pockets! Not just little pockets where you can barely fit a lip balm. But pockets that deep enough to hold your phone, lipgloss, chapstick and regular size water bottle (yes, I tested this… yeah don’t ask lol).

So then, if you are looking for a great robe to add to your closet, this is it. The Pact Organic Women’s Charcoal Heather 3/4 Sleeve Robe is available on the brand’s website at: www.wearpact.com. Currently, this robe is retailing for $45.

That’s all for now diary, I’ll be back with another awesome find later.

Love,

Arianne Xoxo

ArianneUpdated on November 16, 2018November 16, 2018

And another one! New mom Gabrielle Union is taking a short break from her adorable bundle of joy; in order to appear on and in the latest issue of Porter magazine! Gabby stars on the Porter Edit 2018 Women in Television issue. This annual special exclusive showcases several amazing actresses who are making serious waves on the small screen.

What will Gabrielle be discussing within the pages of Porter Edit? She gets candid on the real problems in entertainment. What sort of issues? Well, Porter Edit reveals,

“Porter Edit’s annual Women in Television issue is back, where some of the industry’s most incredible stars debate the issues facing females working in TV. From fair pay to power imbalances and speaking up on set. Ellen Pompeo, Gina Rodriquez, Gabrielle Union and Emma Roberts get vocal in this unmissable interview.”

Porter Edit 2018 Women in Television Issue Starring Gabrielle Union

Jennifer Dickinson, the Digital Director of Net-A-Porter as well as Editor of PorterEdit had a few words on the newest edition as well. Regarding the issues she says,

“It’s our third annual Women in Television issue and it is truly the best yet. I was so thrilled that Annabel Brog and Olive Wakefield, managed to talk to these four INCREDIBLE women into appearing in our annual portfolio. And the photographs by Matthew Sprout with Alison Edmond and Gemma Stark; are more beautiful than even I could have asked for (and I always ask for the moon).

It was, as usual, a somewhat crazy day; but it was also, for me personally, a day when I was challenged; when I was found lacking; and when I was motivated to truly up my game. With Ellen Pompeo, Gina Rodriguez, Gabrielle Union and Emma Roberts as my Jimmy Crickets, I can’t fail. Watch read and be moved, folks. Incredible Women. Screen Queens.”
