Stars of Project Runway Fashion Show!

Arianne Suggs March 25, 2015March 25, 2015Leave a Comment

Last night no designers were told “Auf Wiedersehen” which when translated means “goodbye” in German. The popular Heidi Klum send off to contestants eliminated from the fashion design competition show was replaced by oohs, ahs and much applause from the packed out house of stylish onlookers. The show included Project Runway alums: Dom Streater, Daniel Esquivel, Michelle Lesniak and Patricia Michaels. Although the show began with a video from Michael Costello stating that he would not be in attendance, Costello surprised one and all by showing his collection and walking the runway with the other designers in a celebratory finale extravaganza.

Kevan Hall Goes Sporty for El Paseo Fashion Show

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 26, 2015March 23, 2015Leave a Comment

Sportswear is tough to not only design, but make it look chic from every angle.

When worn a designer would need to think of how it would work as well as look with movement. Kevan Hall seemed to fully understand what women are looking for when purchasing sportswear.

His collection included many often over looked details especially from a style viewpoint. We especially took note of the vivid colors, which Hall told us he felt made the designs pop and encapsulated the season perfectly. We would have to agree one hundred fold that Hall’s designs were fresh and unpretentious.

These forward looking silhouettes would keep any lady from blending in with the rest of the crowd at the local country club.

Candice Held Shows at El Paseo Fashion Week

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 23, 2015March 23, 2015Leave a Comment

Designer Candice Held proved that all a woman really needs is the right dress.

Her collection included beautiful prints and gowns of various lengths that accentuated the model’s shapes effortlessly. The collection would be excellent for summer holidays or jet-setting around the world thanks to their resort-like feel. It is oh, so easy to literally envision ourselves in these fabulous designs while in the Caribbean or on a Hawaiian escapade.

We studied the looks and fell in love with the bow ties that held the gowns together in the back. Little details such as these made the collection a true delight to engage ones stylish senses.

“That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.”

-Gianni Versace

Fashionable Mention: Carolina Herrera

Arianne Suggs March 18, 2015March 18, 2015Leave a Comment

Carolina Herrera just makes fashion look so easy, breezy with much sophistication. Add emphasis where you want it most with a few simple style tricks. We felt this look by Carolina Herrera is perfect for any woman who wants to show off her assets Are you small chested lady who wants to give a little more attention to the girls? Wear a top with a deep V-cut to draw eyes downward. Are you looking to show off your hips to add more va-va voom to your overall look? Then, wearing horizontal stripes across the hip area will give the illusion of more shape.

Black Hair: Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2015

Arianne Suggs March 18, 2015March 18, 2015Leave a Comment

If you are searching for a hairstyle to help aid hair growth while still being stylish then braids could be the answer that you are seeking. During the Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2015 fashion show models trotted down the runway with hair fashioned in two long French braids. The hairstyle is a protective carefree style that needs little maintenance yet has added drama due to the length.

DKNY: Spring 2015 RTW

Arianne Suggs March 18, 2015March 18, 2015Leave a Comment

DKNY showed off just how fun fashion can be with their runway show highlighting their spring 2015 RTW collection. Boisterous shades, extra large prints and some serious layering added to the chic allure. We loved this out of the box ensemble that proves that layering can look hip, current and very modern.

Fashion Notes: There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing sneakers with a dress of skirt. Fashion doesn’t always have to be so dressy, keep your look causal with flats or athletic kicks.

Pop of Color Sunglasses

Make a statement without any extra style fuss by incorporating a pop of color into your fashions. We personally enjoy doing this with a pair of shades since we hail from the state where the sun always shines and it rarely rains. Nevertheless, regardless where you live sunglasses can add an instant flair of glamour to any look that you are working.

The fashionista shown above showcased her style prowess with a pair of ruby red glasses. A clean look that still packs a serious couture punch.
