Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

Arianne Suggs May 20, 2017May 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Amber Rose, Amandla Steinberg and now Miss Keke Palmer is joining the club! Keke Palmer hit up her social platforms and handed fans a complete and total shocker. All… hair… gone (in our Justin Timblerlake voice). With this newest sighting it is safe to say that the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle shows no signs of slowing down.

Black Hairstyles: Keke Palmer Shaved Head Hairstyle -Ring the Alarm!

There are certain celebrities who just rock short hair better than any other female on earth. We immediately think Halle Berry, Teyana Taylor, Maria Borges, Toni Braxton, India Westbrooks, Amilna Estevao, Slick Woods and Ysaunny Brito to name a few. Moreover, KeKe Palmer fits right in with that exclusive list of gorgeous, trendy women.

Keke Palmer first gave us Angela Bassett (shoot, she’s also on the list too honeys!) vibes when she originally cut her strands down to a crop cut. Now it looks like the actress and novel writer is going a step further. Palmer’s shaved head hairstyle is bold all on its own, but she incorporated yet another additional fiery touch.

Keke adds more edge to her style thanks to a fire engine red hair color. Which is why we are saying, “Ring the alarm Miss Palmer!” Her look is definitely fierce and boisterous as well as not for the faint of hair heart. Are you brave enough to try out the Keke Palmer shaved head hairstyle?

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2017May 19, 2017Leave a Comment

Long or short this doll can rock it all! Skai Jackson continues to kill the game in fashion, beauty and hair. This week she is taking home our trophy for Hair of the Week for her beyond chic hairstyle we spotted at the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere!

Hair of the Week: Skai Jackson-Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Premiere

For the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales premiere (whew, say that fives times fast) Skai Jackson wore a textured bob. Adding texture gives hair slightly more body and dimension. We are almost feeling like this hair look should be considered a lob, since it falls right at shoulder length. However, her amazing stylist says bob, so its a bob hunty! Skai Jackson’s cute hairstyle is a creation of Los Angeles hair stylist, Alexander Armand.

Nevertheless, the part of this particular style that we loved the most is her bang. The length was absolutely perfect. It wasn’t so short that it looked odd or so long that it looked uncomfortably resting in her eyes. It was just right and added a nice touch of panache to the overall look.

Fashion Notes: Did you think we were really going to leave you hanging on the fashion tip ladies? Skai’s dazzling printed floor length dress is by Alice + Olivia. At times, long dresses can really drown a petite girl. However, the tailoring on this dress ensures that Jackson isn’t “lost” in the design. She is wearing it, instead of it wearing her.

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

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.

Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016

Arianne May 17, 2017May 17, 2017Leave a Comment

Film Festivals are where the best of the best showcase their amazing works as well as make a fashion statement. We have come across several eye-catching style moments, yet one actress hit the red carpet in one vibrant ensemble. Any guesses? Yup, Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016. What’s “old” can still be classic!

Naomie Harris Attends Cannes 2017 Wearing Gucci Fall 2016

In girl world there are two things that are usually considered to be fashion suicide. one is repeating an outfit too soon in the cycle. The other is rocking something considered to be “so last week.”

Nevertheless, Harris proves that you can still look fab in something from a past season with it feeling fresh and new. Actress Naomie Harris is currently attending the 2017 Cannes Film Festival for her latest film, Ismael’s Ghost. For her big Cannes 2017 red carpet moment she wore a gown from the Gucci Fall 2016 collection.

Her take on the Gucci ensemble is different from the original design seen coming down the Gucci catwalk. Long gone is the one shoulder floral top. Naomie replaced it with a spaghetti strap bodice in matching striped colors. This change gave her OOTD more of a spring and summery vibe.

The last component of Naomie Harris’ Cannes outfit were accessories. She paired her bold gown with a beautiful, delicate necklace from Atelier Swarovski. A nice touch that grabs a little spotlight while keeping attention on the main garment.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 16, 2017May 16, 2017Leave a Comment

Sometimes to be successful you have to go off what you know. That is exactly the ethic Curlkalon Hair CEO Shavone Riggins put into action in order to build one of the most successful companies in today’s hair industry. A company that did in less than one year what many cannot achieve in half a decade. Therefore, read on to discover the secret of success as well as inspiring backstory of hair business master and guru, Shavone Riggins!

Raise your hand if you’re all for hair protection. When it comes to protective hairstyling Shavone Riggins has created what has come to be called, “magic in a box.” However, this true hair gem is known to most of the world as simply, Curlkalon Hair.

From the start, Riggins was highly motivated to foster a positive community. Plus help to instill confidence in women all over the globe. As a result, Shavone set out to design a protective hair styling solutions brand. A line that provides pre-looped, textured curls using the installation method of crochet braiding to achieve effortless curl crochet hair styles.

How Curlkalon Hair CEO Shavone Riggins Built 7 Figure Business In Less Than 1 Year

Shavone in essence turned a problem she faced as a natural hair wearer for 12 years into a solution to her hair maintenance. An issue that plagues multitudes of women all over. The issue of wanting gorgeous looking hair, but lacking the time to create such a style.

However, Curlkalon Hair would change all that. The hair brand’s less time consuming crochet braid protective hair styling became the main focus and major selling point. As a busy mother of 6, Riggins understands well that time is money and it shouldn’t all be spent styling your strands.

How successful and what kind of results has this idea of faster crochet styling yielded? Shavone Riggins continues to plow ahead of the competition with a 7-figure company. In under one year she has now shipped out over 2 million effortless curls providing “Curls with Confidence” to women worldwide.

The Mane Choice
Mueller Choice
Mueller Water Systems
Family Promise of Gwinnett
Haute Kinky Hai
Natalie MacNeil

Nevertheless, now Shavone continues to shape the goals and vision of Curlkalon Hair. Riggins is extremely happy and fulfilled spending her days inspiring women. Pushing them to be filled with confidence through being more than what they’ve come from, one goal at a time.

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.
