There’s been memes galore hollering that there needs to be a return of “natural faces and natural bodies.” It looks like the beauty industry has been listening carefully. Several brands are releasing products that are so nude it looks like you’re not wearing even a drop of makeup! If this is the makeup look that you seek you need to give Mac Cosmetics a little attention. Their Mac Cosmetics Next to Nothing Face Color creamy formula will look and feel like you are wearing nothing at all.

Beauty Quickie: Mac Cosmetics Next to Nothing Face Color

We first became interested in the Mac Cosmetics Next to Nothing Face Color product after the insanely gorgeous Noemie Lenoir rocked it during her cover shoot for L’Officiel Switzerland. Her skin glowed and gleamed like a fairy dream.

More recently, we have spotted NYC artist, Tuanelle (pictured at the outset) wearing Mac’s new foundation with a highlight more popping than a grip of diamonds. Here is how Tuanelle achieved her look using Mac Cosmetics’ product line:

Prime the skin with Strobe Cream in Peachlite.
Apply Mac Cosmetics Next to Nothing Face Color.
Add extra glow by using Cream Color Base in Improper Copper.
Finish with Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Oh, Darling.

Fashion Obsession: Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit

Arianne Suggs May 22, 2017May 22, 2017Leave a Comment

HAWT! Raise your hand if you are in need of some swimwear sure to bring onlookers to their knees? Fashion Brand Milano di Rouge is bringing the heat and sexy back for the summer season. Their Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit is one seductive masterpiece!

Fashion Obsession: Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit

Why do we love the Taylor swimsuit? For one, sometimes its just nice to switch the swimwear game up. In a world full of barely there two pieces, its a welcome departure to find an one piece that is just as alluring.

Also, the color palette for this particular garment works on all skin tones. No more wondering if a certain color will wash you out in photos or cause you to look like a humongous color bomb coming towards people.

Milan di Rouge’s swimsuit is a simple monochromatic design with white striping that cinches in at the waist. This is great because not only is the color black already slimming, but the suits design layout will make your waist appear smaller. Score! Furthermore, the tones black and white will always be a classic pairing that easily looks upscale, modern and voguish.

One last plus is that this suit can also do double duty. For a bit now bodysuits have been a big fashion trend. The “Taylor” although designed as swimwear can easily be worn like a bodysuit with shorts or pants and no one would be the wiser. For instance, artist New York Taylorr hit us with an one-two style punch pairing the Milano di Rouge Taylor Swimsuit with distressed denim pants. She accessorized her look with racy, ankle strap heels and a stunning jeweled choker. This definitely what we call “a look.”

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

Arianne Suggs May 18, 2017May 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Item: Karrueche‘s glamorous belted look seen as Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws.’

You Asked: Hey I’ve been really trying to change up my style because I want to be a model one day. And I really like Karrueche’s dress from today. Do you guys know who makes it?

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Attends Turner UpFront for New TNT Show ‘Claws’

The Verdict: We really like Karrueche’s OOTD too! The off the shoulder trend is still red hot so Miss Tran is flexing her “It Girl” style status. Her dress is actually not a dress at all. Karrueche’s awesome stylist, Byron Javor revealed that it is a chic jacket by Fendi. Javor simply converted the jacket into a dress that effortlessly fits Tran’s petite and toned frame.

Furthermore, in order to not get lost in the jacket Karrueche belted her ensemble. Her belt is a design by BCBGMAXAZRIA which matched her Fendi jacket’s pockets. Her black belt not only helps to bring her look together with cohesion, but also aids in enhancing Karrueche’s waistline. Belts are an excellent and simple accessory to utilize in order to create an hourglass figure even when wearing bulky garments.

Nevertheless, no outfit is complete without a bomb pair of heels. Tran’s cute ankle strap heels are a sexy design by luxury shoe designer, Giuseppe Zanotti. 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.

Ask and Tell: Karrueche’s Pink Baby Orange Set

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 15, 2017May 15, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Karrueche Tran’s Pink Baby Orange Set.

You Asked: OMG 1966 I am really feeling Karrueche’s orange athletic outfit. And I hate orange! I have to have it where can I buy the set?!

Ask and Tell: Karrueche’s Pink Baby Orange Set

The Verdict: Thanks for hitting us up and sorry for the delayed answer! However, the ensemble Karrueche is wearing isn’t a set. GASP! We know, we know it looked seamless right?

You know the styling is truly on point when two pieces from two completely different brands can be paired together and no one is the wiser. Tran’s “Beverly Hills Basketball” cropped sweats top is actually by Nike. So then great catch in regards to the athletic wear vibe of Karrueche’s fits. Her equally sexy athleisure skirt is a design by Pink Baby.

Pink Baby is an edgy, urban brand for the “It Girl” in all of us. You may recall actress Keke Palmer wearing their Paper dress ($75) not too long ago. If not you will find the visual evidence below.

Nevertheless, you will be happy to know that the Pink Baby Orange Set does come with its own crop top hoodie, just minus any wording. However, the look still goes hard and will have onlookers screaming, “FIRE!” Get the full set for $100 or just one piece ( the top or bottom) for $50 at www.pinkbabyonline.com.

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.

Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show – “Dior Sauvage”- The Wild Wild West

ArianneUpdated on May 15, 2017May 15, 2017Leave a Comment

Maria Grazia Chiuri came out guns blazing! For quite a time anticipation has been brewing over Maria’s big Dior Cruise debut. With all eyes from the industry on her and her stunning collection Chiuri opened fire with a sizzling lineup as iconic as the Wild West itself! Tip those hats dolls we are riding off into the sunset with a quick recap of the Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show.

Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show – “Dior Sauvage”- The Wild Wild West

Set against the backdrop of the wide open plains of California, the Dior Cruise 2018 runway show was magically ethereal. Cascading tents, hot air balloons, fire pits and delicate dim lighting of lanterns danced across the catwalk into the dusk sky. Dior effortless captured the aura of the old west while infusing their runway and high-end designs with the classic modern Dior flair.

Nevertheless, forget needing to be saved by some lasso throwing cowboy. The Dior Sauvage couture came off strong, bold, rustic without sacrificing even a hint femininity. The woman who adorns herself in this collection can hold a torch on her own but can still revel and bask in her womanly allure.

Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show

The Dior fashion house gave an earful of what served as the inspiration behind the 2018 cruise collection. Furthermore, even though the garments certainly spoke for themselves, we absolutely loved every word they said! Dior mentions,

“For her first cruise collection for the House, Maria Grazia Chiuri has employed the Dior Savoir Faire. Reinventing it to tell her story in idealized forms. A story that alters proportions and lengths to correspond to the contemporary landscape, in which sport mixes with haute couture. Where tradition transforms into ornamental abstraction and materials see their status changed.

A collection informed by a wild and ancient femininity bound to the magic of the earth! Maria Grazia Chiuri continues to remain loyal to her feminist vision. Design by a woman for a woman.

From the prehistoric wolves emerging from the Lascaux cave on the striking silk jacquards. To the reinterpreted female handprints becoming magnificent sequined embroideries in earthy shades. Maria sought to embrace and explore the Dior heritage for her Dior Cruise 2018 collection!

We have to say that Chiuri accomplished that and then some. However, now it is time for you to experience it yourself. Scroll through this feature to review a few of our favorite looks.

How did Nike achieve more air? Their new shoe contains a cushioning system which provides the wearer with more bounce as well as flexibility. Moreover, there are absolutely no additional structural elements (no foam layer) which results in nothing but air being found underfoot. Cool right?

“When you refuse to be held down by convention, even the ground starts feeling a lot like Air.

I’ve seen my face on billboards and in Times Square and it’s always such a special feeling. But my heart jumped when I passed Nike and saw my hard work plastered and blown up for everyone to see on the inside and outside of the stores. Thank you guys for continuing to allow me to inspire.

Runway Fashion: Chanel Cruise 2018 “Modernity of Antiquity” Show

ArianneUpdated on May 6, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Let out your inner couture goddess dolls! The Chanel Cruise 2018 runway show oozed of luxurious flair rich in Grecian culture. Think exquisite draping, gladiator sandals, gold accents as well as wreathed, embellished headbands. Mr. Lagerfeld certainly captured the essence of Greece and brought it to Paris!

Runway Fashion: Chanel Cruise 2018 “Modernity of Antiquity” Show

“I see Greece as the origin of beauty and culture.” Those were the words of legendary Chanel designer, Karl Lagerfeld in regards to the inspiration behind his Chanel Cruise 2018 runway show. Lagerfeld constructed a breathtaking show that delivered down to the most minuit detail. Even the catwalk’s decor of larger than life pillars and stone work caused one and all in attendance to feel transported from Paris directly into the past. As a result, the entire collection is an ode to the grace and beauty of ancient Greece. Every piece as well as color palette tone was beautiful and fit the show’s overall theme.

Furthermore, what is a runway show without great hair? The Chanel Cruise 2018 collection’s hair looks nicely complimented the show’s couture. Tresses were pulled back into an effortless half up, half down style with the top portion being fashioned into a braid. Hair accessories additionally played a major role in making the hairstyle even more ethereal and extravagant. The results were so elegant and current they would be the perfect chic hairstyle for this season as well!

Chanel Cruise 2018

Several garments and pieces caught our eye but one accessory in particular made us swoon instantly. A gorgeously decorated black and gold hand bag with an owl made its glorious appearance during the show and although small, made quite a statement. In Greek mythology the owl represents Athena, known as being the goddess of wisdom. Thus making the bag quite fitting. Furthermore, being slight Clash of the Titans nerds we could not help but be reminded of all the films as well as their entertaining characters.

Nevertheless, the bag, the hair, the makeup and of course stunning designs made a deep impression and etched a moment into the fashion industry that shall never be forgotten. Chanel put on one amazing show that has us even more stylishly excited for 2018!
