The Item: The printed Tory Burch Resort 2018 Skirt as Seen on Actress Gugu MBatha-Raw. Gugu was spotted in her stylish attire while attending The Hollywood Reporter’s 2017 Women in Entertainment Breakfast. This year’s industry event was held in the heart of Los Angeles, California.

You Asked: Saw a few pictures of Gugu the other day and I immediately zeroed in on her skirt. Is it available for purchase yet? I’ve noticed that a lot of people are wearing things that haven’t even come out yet. Wondering if this skirt falls into that category too.

Ask and Tell: Tory Burch Resort 2018 Skirt as Seen on Actress Gugu MBatha-Raw

The Verdict: Hello there and yes Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s skirt is certainly a dynamic piece! This particular garment is by designer, Tory Burch. Burch who is well known for her amazing 60s/70s inspired kaftan as well as tunic designs, also steals the couture show due to her fun use of prints. Thus, for The Hollywood Reporter’s 2017 Women in Entertainment Breakfast event Gugu is adorned in a skirt from the Tory Burch Resort 2018 collection.

So far, we have noticed a couple Resort 2018 items up for pre-sale. However, not this particular skirt. It is still a little early, so give it a bit more time and it should be up for purchasing.

The Item: Supermodel Naomi Campbell Versace Vogue Print Mini Dress. Miss Campbell was spotted making her iconic fashion statement while she presented her longtime friend, Donatella Versace, with the Icon Award at the 2017 The Fashion Awards. The ceremony was put on by the British Fashion Council in association with Swarovski and held at Albert Hall in London, England.

You Asked: This is a really fun look. But something tells me that you do have to be tall like Naomi to wear it, but still cool. Thought I saw somewhere that you said Naomi is wearing a tribute outfit. What’s that about?

Ask and Tell: Naomi Campbell Versace Vogue Print Mini Dress

The Verdict: Great question! This year Versace presented a runway show (Versace Spring 2018) with designs inspired by the late Gianni Versace’s previous collections. This was done as a tribute to his couture genius. His exquisite work broke barriers between art as well as contemporary fashion. Last night, Naomi Campbell worked it in one of these particular looks.

According to the Versace fashion house Naomi wore, “a custom made Vogue print mini dress with a maxi skirt train featuring intricate folds entirely beaded with Swarovski crystals.” Like you, we also feel this vibrant dress is a ton of fun and is a perfect representation of spring couture. Vibrant, fresh and effortlessly modern.

Jenifer Lewis High Kicks-Learn From Mom, Add This to Your Workout!

Arianne Suggs December 5, 2017December 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Actress and favorite film as well as TV mom Jenifer Lewis broke the Internet with the release of her new book, The Mother of Black Hollywood. The Jenifer Lewis High Kicks in celebration of her memoir shot around the online realm in mere hours. Her energetic display had us girls putting down slices of pizza and starting to rethink our fitness routines.

Yet, for good reason. Did you know that learning and mastering the high kick has NUMEROUS benefits? If you are looking to shape up, burn calories and infuse your workout with a new move. We suggest taking a page out of mother Lewis’ kick book and get those legs up!

Jenifer Lewis High Kicks-Learn From Mom, Add This to Your Workout

Let’s just cut right to the chase, shall we? High kicks are great when utilized as a warm up exercise or as a killer cardio move. Some of the benefits you can gain from this one explosive exercise are:

Tone the abs
Healthy stress reliever
Sculpt the legs
Burn calories and melt fat
Enhanced coordination
Improve the flexibility of the hamstrings
Fast movement (kicks) gets the heart pumping which in turn helps to burn more calories
Increases lower body as well as core strength
Can improve performance in martial arts, cheerleading and gymnastics

An exercise that hits two common problem areas? Uhm, count us in! High kicks can be performed starting from a lunge or squat position. Or by simply balancing on one leg while kicking the other leg up and as high as you comfortably can.

Start by doing three sets of 15-20 reps. Work up to being able to kick for an extended amount of time or even a set amount. Some pros even do a 1,000 kick challenge! Not necessary to see real results, but nothing like a good challenge in order to reach your fitness goals.
