The Item: Emmy award winning actress, Karrueche Wearing Alexander Wang Check Tailoring Mini Dress and Blazer. Miss Tran was spotted in her designer ensemble while being photographed at The Tot Holiday Celebration held at The Grove LA, in Los Angeles.

You Asked: I know Chris Brown must be sick to his stomach hahaha! I still can’t understand for the life of me how he could not act right for a girl like her, but oh well. Her glow has been real, especially with this fit! I want to rock this one. Who is this look by?

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Wearing Alexander Wang Check Tailoring Mini Dress and Blazer

The Verdict: You are definitely right, her glow up is pure goals! Nevertheless, getting to her fashions, she is wearing a look from the Alexander Wang Fall 2017 RTW (ready to wear) collection. Karrueche is donned in the collection’s Alexander Wang Check Tailoring Mini Dress and Blazer.

Believe it or not, originally the couture look was comprised of three pieces (dress, high waisted legging, and blazer). However, most celebrities mainly only wear the mini dress and blazer. You may recognize this outfit from when singer, Monica Brown slayed in it as well. As you can see, it is a very popular style!

Arianne Suggs December 6, 2017December 6, 2017Leave a Comment

Our Hair of the Week trophy was won without any competition! Top Model Jourdan Dunn‘s Copper Tone Hair Color Curls are what top hairstyles are made of! The gorgeous color, the bounce and all that volume. We have the details on how to keep this hair look pristine even after you leave the salon straight from the pros themselves.

Why We Like It: Copper tones are the perfect colors to carry over into winter. The warm hues are a nice contrast against cooler temps and fashions.

Hair of the Week: Top Model Jourdan Dunn’s Copper Tone Hair Color Curls

Who is the celebrity hairstylist behind this winning hairdo? Renda Attia, founder of The Hide Out salon in London, England takes full credit of this hair design. Regarding the style she worked for Jourdan Attia says,

“New day, new look, new color, and new style for my girl. Hair cut and color by moi [me] using Olaplex, Wella Hair [as well as] Bumble and Bumble.

Orange is the new black! Jourdan Dunn with some sexy warm copper tones for this year’s British Fashion Awards.”

Renda mentioned using Olaplex, every heard of Olaplex products? Many haven’t, but for the professionals it’s their amazing little secret to keeping color treated tresses in excellent condition right after processing. Forget the days of fried, dyed and laid to the side. Olaplex is all about keeping strands healthy at the salon as well as in-between salon visits. Well thank you hair GAWDS!

Jourdan Dunn’s Copper Tone Hair Color – Keeping Color Healthy

How is this brand able to achieve this hairstyling feat? Well, the answer lies right in how their products are formulated. You see, Olaplex is a bond multiplier that dramatically reduces breakage from chemical services. Olaplex is entirely non-toxic, free of silicone, sulfates, phtalates, DEA, peroxide, aldehydes and gluten. The best part of all? It works on all hair types!

For instance, Olapex has a product known as Olapex No. 2. What exactly does it do? Olaplex answers,

“Olaplex No. 2 is one of your most versatile salon tools. Use it after all your color and lightener processes to rebuild and strengthen the hair. You can also use No. 2 as a Mini Treatment by using a small amount in the hair during haircuts as a cutting lotion. [It] blow drys as a blow dry cream or even on its own as a 5 minute treatment at the shampoo bowl.”

Pretty cool right? Plus, the celebrities love these products as well when they go to get their color jobs done. Even NFL player, Odell Beckham Jr. has experienced the Olaplex treatment. So then, the next time you head to a salon, especially to get a style like Jourdan Dunn’s copper tone hair color be sure to ask your stylist about Olaplex.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 6, 2017December 5, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Singer and mom of adorable twins, Beyonce 2017 Sports Illustrated Awards Laquan Smith Dress. Beyonce was spotted in sparkling number while presenting an award to former NFL player, Colin Kaepernick.

You Asked: YASSS BEYYYYYYYY! I had to slide into the Dm over this one 1966! Give it all to me, don’t leave nothing out HAAHAA! I want to know full outfit details. Dress, shoes the works. My queen too fly for them!

Sasha Fierce’s look was finished off with jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz.

Ask and Tell: Naomi Campbell 2017 The Fashion Awards Azzedine Alaia Dress

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 6, 2017December 5, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Queen of the catwalk Naomi Campbell 2017 The Fashion Awards Azzedine Alaia Dress. Miss Campbell was spotted in her noire gown while in attendance of the 2017 The Fashion Awards held by the BFC as well as Swarowski.

You Asked: She wore her Papa! She must of been very close to him because she posts him constantly. Naomi could wear a sack and she would snatch my edges but her dress today is so sophisticated. Is this Alaia design recent or vintage?

Ask and Tell: Naomi Campbell 2017 The Fashion Awards Azzedine Alaia Dress

The Verdict: Very great question! Naomi is long muse of the great Azzedine Alaia so she has been photographed in plenty of his work from past and present. Moreover, we agree her wearing an Alaia couture dress is another beautiful tribute to such an iconic designer.

Nevertheless, the particular look you are referring to is not retro, but one of Azzedine Alaia’s more recent works. For The Fashion Awards Naomi is wearing an ensemble from the F/W 2017 collection, the very fashion show Campbell walked. The luxury fashion brand refers to the dress as the ALAIA Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2017 velvet, silk tulle, pleated silk organza and lace dress.
