Ask and Tell: Ryan Destiny Wearing Damir Doma S/S 17 Collection

Arianne Suggs August 14, 2017August 14, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Ryan Destiny Wearing Damir Doma S/S 17 Collection. The look was spotted on the blue carpet as Miss Ryan Destiny attended this year’s Teen Choice Awards.

You Asked: Yellow looks so good on dark skin! Ryan’s melanin was so popping! I HAVE to HAVE her DRESS! I love love love it. Who is it by and do you think it is was right that she didn’t have jewelry on?

Ask and Tell: Ryan Destiny Wearing Damir Doma S/S 17 Collection

The Verdict: We have to agree our fellow lover of fashion, Ryan slayed in yellow! Nevertheless, one thing that may come as a surprise is that Destiny’s dress was no dress at all. However, her talented stylist, Scot Louie, turned the Damir Doma design into one.

Ryan’s yellow pinstripe ensemble is from the Damir Doma Spring/Summer 2017 collection and originally made its way down a runway as a full on pants suit. The suit is chic, but we honestly love the belted jacket as a stand alone gown!

Furthermore, in answer to your final question we adore how Ryan was styled. Her OOTD is boisterous enough thanks to it’s bold tone as well as striped design. Therefore, too much jewelry would have been too over-powering.

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 Wearing O-Mighty During Weekend Brunch

Arianne Suggs August 14, 2017August 14, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Karrueche Wearing O-Mighty During Weekend Brunch. Paparazzi photographed the actress as she exited the posh scene with a friend.

You Asked: Karrueche looks good! Thank you for getting back to me. I sent the pic like you asked. All I’m after is knowing who makes her shoes? I really like when people mix like their street clothes with something a little fancy. And I think the color of them is also really cool. Oh and what about that shirt is it tucked? I couldn’t tell from the photos.

Ask and Tell: Karrueche Wearing O-Mighty During Weekend Brunch

The Verdict: We love a good street style look as well! Karrueche Tran’s shirt is actually a crop top designed by fashion brand, O-Mighty. California style normally does incorporate rolled up shirts especially during the warmer months. However, in this case the O-Mighty shirt is simply cropped.

Shall we talk heels? Karrueche’s fab shoes are by Hanifa and are currently still available online on the brand’s website. The couture label refers to the heels as “ZOILA.” Sizes range from 6 up to 11.

Furthermore, what’s interesting is that this is not Karrueche’s first rodeo with ZOILA. On another occassion Tran rocked the sexy heels in a different color, Gun Metal, which is striking gold tone. Therefore it is safe to say that Karrueche is a fan of this particular shoe design. Oh! One last thing, the Hanifa ZOILA heels in fuchsia retail for $159.

Editor’s Diary: Obsessed! The Windsor Burgundy Subtle Shine Midi Dress

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 10, 2017August 10, 2017Leave a Comment

Dear Diary,

I finally found the PERFECT dress for any gal who finds herself fashionably batting on Team Petite! It’s bold, fun, chic and not only highlights, but enhances any and all curves. The Windsor Burgundy Subtle Shine Midi Dress is a sweet juxtaposition of sass and class. The gown’s form-fitting silouhette will have onlookers doing a Beyoncé Ring the Alarm act while the length and overall design will be screaming, “This girl possesses sophistication!”

Editor’s Diary: Windsor Burgundy Subtle Shine Midi Dress

What I love most is the Midi’s ruching effect. Thanks to this nifty element smaller chested girls get a nice “boost.” Which means no draw string bras or push-ups are required (insert yay). Therefore, your lady friends will look absolutely amazing all on their own. Great news since, “Omg my Girls look bigger and better than ever I hate this”… said no woman ever.

Moreover, the color of this awesome dress is stunningly gorgeous and will work on a wide range of skin tones. Thus, making it a true style gem for girls of all shades. Furthermore, have you been working out lately or got a killer sculpted backside? Well then, you’ll love the Windsor Burgundy Subtle Shine Midi Dress’ strappy embellishments! Check it out below.

I found that this dress showcased my shape quite nicely and had a very comfortable fit as well as feel despite being a shape hugger. Also, in a time when other fashion brands seem to offer clothes that come across very low quality in terms of materials. I can assure you that Windsor is the complete opposite. Everything looks and feels well-made.

Windsor is a real fresh breath of style air when it comes to fashion labels. They truly understand what the Windsor Girl wants and only provides exactly what the Windsor Girl needs. All in all I give this dress 5 stars and can’t wait to slip into it again!

Welp, that’s all for now Diary. Muah!

Love,

Arianne xoxo

Ask and Tell: Halle Berry’s Michelle My Belle T-Shirt -Where to Get It?

Arianne Suggs August 8, 2017August 8, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Actress Halle Berry’s Michelle My Belle T-Shirt as seen when serving up some serious streetstyle. Halle was out and about busily promoting her new film, Kidnap.

You Asked: HEYYYYYY! 1966 I can’t find Halle’s shirt on her. I tracked down the brand she wore but they are ignoring me! I noticed others asking them about it on their page and they haven’t commented at all! Do you know how to get a shirt and how much it cost??

Ask and Tell: Halle Berry’s Michelle My Belle T-Shirt Streetstyle Look

The Verdict: Don’t you just hate that! Find something you want and it’s like conducting an FBI search just trying to found out a few details. Well, it looks as though The Spiders of Arts brand who makes the shirt isn’t giving up any info. If you want a shirt directly from them the only way to get it is to contact them through email.

Or you can try another company who basically sales the same awesome Michelle My Belle T-shirt. Through our thorough and exhaustive search we found quite few sellers online. Prices for this particular garment seem to range from $19 to around $30. Depending on what size or style (regular tee or tank) that you desire.

If searching online try: FizzStyle, TeeDucky, T Shirt Czar, Teesspot or TeeYeTi. All of those merchants sell the shirt that you are after. FizzStyle seemed to have the most selection in terms of style and size.

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.

Jasmine Sanders Channels Janet Jackson For Story and Rain Photoshoot

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 7, 2017August 7, 2017Leave a Comment

Love Will Never Do Without You! Ah, it looks like another bit of 90’s style nostalgia is coming back by popular demand. For a recent photo shoot for fashion brand and website, Story and Rain, model Jasmine Sanders Channels Janet Jackson. Moreover, if this sexy iconic look is the way of the future count us in!

Jasmine Sanders Channels Janet Jackson For Story and Rain Photoshoot

As they say what’s old is new again. The Story and Rain shoot had Janet Jackson down with a capital “T.” Black crop top, tight denim jeans and the infamous black hairband updo. All that was missing was the super hot male models in their skivvies.

Nonetheless, the Internet never fails to weigh in on any hot topic especially when it comes to fashion and hair! We gathered a few stylish thoughts across platforms proving that we weren’t the only ones seeing Ms. Jackson, because we’re nasty!

“Gorg- total Janet Jackson, “Love will never do without you” moment.”

“Janet Jackson.”

“Cool.”

“Channeling Janet!”

“Twins.”

“Janet Jackson vibes!! Love it.”

“Beautiful.”

“Looking flawless as per usual, your hair is just fantastic.”

“Gorgeous.”

“Isssaaaa babe.”

“Sexy pie.”

“Reminds me of the Janet Jackson video. This is fire!”

Hair Notes: Jasmine Sanders sassy hairstyle could not have been created without a rockstar celebrity hairstylist at the helm. Sanders’ Janet hair was slayed by the one and only, Ted Gibson. Gibson is behind some of the famous hair looks seen on Lupita Nyong’o, Cameron Dias, Tessa Thompson, Ariana Grande, Naomie Harris and Angelina Jolie just to name a few.

All in all, we are loving this shoot which was lensed by Mike Rosenthal. Can’t wait to see the official photos!
