Therefore, why not flex your fashion prowess right off the bat with a bag sure to garner some attention? Feast your couture eyes on the Moschino Hollywood Patch Backpack!

Fashionable Mention: Moschino Hollywood Patch Backpack

This backpack truly is every bit of Hollywood. Seriously, just for a moment, humor us and think about Tinseltown. Being the entertainment capital of the world its glitzy, bold, effortlessly cool and with newcomers streaming in everyday screaming, “Hey I’m a rock star!”

So then, for any creative to name their accessory after Hollywood the piece just has to be a showstopper. Enter the Moschino brand with their wild and cool leader, Jeremy Scott. Designer Jeremy Scott is always a genius when it comes to creating pieces that not only get people talking, but have them doing a double take. The Moschino Hollywood Patch Backpack gains plenty of spotlight due to its ‘in your face’ patchwork.

Patchwork always looks edgy because it has a very DIY feel and vibe. It looks very personalized in many cases even if it is not. Furthermore, the patches give the backpack a very “Rebel Without Cause” flair and is perfect for the girl who wants to show off her boisterous side.

Not a patch fan? Well, how do you feel about Spongebob (LOL)? Yep, Mr. Squarepants is back in the Moschino lineup. We spotted the Bob in the Moschino Resort 18 collection. Therefore, whether you are feeling edgy or just childhood nostalgic, Moschino has a backpack to suit your mood.

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. [Also] the harmful effects of skin bleaching products, facing discrimination and the Somali home she left behind. Read it on the new crfashionbook.com.”

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.

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

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

Princess hair! Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for the Cannes 2017 Film Festival is elegant, sleek and tantalizing sophisticated. If you are looking for formal hair inspiration you just found it!

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie attended the ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer” red carpet event. Her luxurious blue floor length gown is by designer Ulyana Sergeenko, who has been a very popular choice this year at Cannes.

Sanders’ strands were pulled back into a beautiful braided bun. If recreating this look at home remember that the smoother you can get your hair in the front to lay, the more dramatic the braided chignon will look. Get tresses to submit by smoothing them with a pomade, gel (alcohol free) or edge control product. Next, spritz hairs with a light holding spray in order to make the hairstyle remain in place. Lastly, mist the style with a hair oil to give this hair look luminous sheen that will pop in any photo!

Beauty Notes: Jasmine’s hair is exquisite but we have to holler YASSS over her makeup look as well! L’Oreal makeup kindly shared the details on how Sanders look came together. The brand says that Jasmine’s makeup is all about keeping it natural. The “au natural” vibe is coming back en vogue in full force.

Therefore, to stay on trend for the season it is not about heavy contour. Just good old enhancement of your natural features. So want to give Jasmine’s look a spin? Here is the L’Oreal product cheat sheet!

Color Riche Les Ombres in Marron Glace
Lip Paint in Nudists – 209 – Nude on Fleek
Brow Xpert
Paradise Mascara

Ask and Tell: Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017

Arianne Suggs May 25, 2017May 25, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: The skirt of Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017.

You Asked: Black girl magic is all over Cannes. I love Winnie Harlow’s purple skirt from Cannes. Was so pretty! Wondering how much something like that cost? I get my bonus soon haha

Ask and Tell: Model Winnie Harlow Wearing Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017

The Verdict: Purple reign… purple reign! Thanks for the question! Actually we have been majorly fan girling over Winnie’s high-end outfit as well. Every last garment Harlow has put on during her stint at the Cannes Film Festival has been a winner!

The purple and black look Winnie is rocking is from the Alberta Ferretti Spring 2017 RTW (Ready to Wear) collection. Winnie’s as well as the catwalk look worn by the model in the runway show is identical.

Nevertheless, the big question of the hour is how much does this stylish ensemble cost? To be honest for most adding this skirt to their closet is going to be quite the splurge. The Alberta Ferretti skirt retails for a whopping $1, 905. However, we are sure buying such a well-made luxury item will last you a very long time. So then, enjoy your purchase you can find it at Farfetch.

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.
