Streestyle: Rihanna in NYC

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022July 9, 2015Leave a Comment

Yesterday, there were several sightings of songstress, Rihanna in New York City. For her first look RiRi rocked black tights, sneakers, Thrasher tee, snapback and Fenty necklace. RiRi had been doing a little body maintenance at Titan gym and was quietly exiting the building. See, isn’t comforting that celebrities have to put in the work for their hot bods too?

Rihanna kept her relaxed chic vibe going as night fell upon The Big Apple. Her nighttime ensemble consisted of green sweats, gray shirt, gold hoops, tennis shoes and another snapback.

So why was Rihanna on the streets of NYC this week? It looks like the singer is conducting a little business while she is there. Rihanna was meeting with world renown producer Timbaland at a studio.

Beauty Notes: Knowing how to compliment or marry your nail color with your makeup can be very easy. A simple way to not create a color clash is by matching your lip color to your nail color. For her look, Rihanna chose a gorgeous red and the tint pops!

Green Eyes

Arianne Suggs July 8, 2015July 8, 2015Leave a Comment

For the past two days the beauty world has been buzzing about the green eyeshadow seen on models during the Versace runway show. Green is not usually a tint that most women naturally reach for when creating their makeup look. Nevertheless, green is a great hue for girls wanting to explore color and move on from more neutral tints. Here are few tips to keep in mind to make this runway trend your very own:

1. When applying green eyeshadow for brown eyes it is best to use a green shadow that has blue undertones. The blue will accentuate the orange undertones present in brown eyes making them pop.

2. If you want a more subtle look apply green eyeliner to your upper and lower lash lines.

3. Black mascara will match green eye shadow well so do not worry about the colors clashing if you would like to punch up your lashes.

4. A nude lip color and bronzing the skin will compliment green eyeshadow very well.

5. Lighter skin tones can wear even very celery green shadows while it is recommended that darker skin tones go for emerald, evergreen and vivid greens to create the most stunning look.

Chew on This

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 7, 2015July 7, 2015Leave a Comment

Your parents probably told you to brush your teeth twice a day, floss and if they were sort of hardcore had you doing a daily mouth rinse too. Oral hygiene is important to keep your chompers healthy, but research is showing that a good mouth also can have an effect on your overall health. Therefore, keeping things clean and in top notch shape will only help make you a stronger individual.

Nevertheless, let’s just cut the bull and be real…who really sticks to such a routine day in and out? Schedules get busy, school is the pits, work is hectic and then we all have the rest of life’s concerns to deal with and get through. Most of the population may have the twice daily brushing down, but flossing or rinses may go out the window. So then, we are inviting one and all to chew on this, cucumbers.

Cucumbers due to their fiber and nutrients can benefit teeth as well as gums. These nutrients and fibers help to massage gums and remove bad, harmful bacteria from teeth. So an apple a day may keep the doctor away but a cucumber is the right little number for oral maintenance.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015Leave a Comment

Beautiful Lineisy Montero is one of the modeling rising stars to be featured in Prada’s ad campaign for fall/winter 2015. Montero is joined in the campaign by models Avery Blanchard, Estella Boersma Inga Dezhina, Ine Neefs, Greta Varlese and Maartje Verhoef. In the ad the stylish squad sport tailored coats, jackets, embellished dresses and sweaters with much school collar preppy attitude. It is clear that Prada does not want women to be afraid of stronger color or prints which nicely livens up normal winter attire that tends to focus on darker, drabber styles.

Moreover, it is amazing how the collection screams retro and modern at the exact same time. The entire campaign was captured by photographer Steven Meisel.

Accessories Report: We immediately took notice of the long-sleeved gloves featured in the campaign. Long gloves are so old Hollywood chic and convey upscale luxury. So then, this fall and winter feel free to have an Audrey Hepburn moment…Prada has given us the okay.

Versace’s collection for fall/winter 2015-2016 made us want to march ourselves right back to Coachella! The couture essence of the runway show reminded us of fashions often worn during the music festival season. Flowing, revealing with an ethereal delicacy capturing the beauty of true femininity.

Each gown was effortlessly beautiful making each model seem to dance down the runway in an almost dreamlike state. The color palette of the collection ranged from light and airy tints and drifted into noire masterpieces.
