Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 20, 2016April 19, 2016Leave a Comment

We are still obsessed with Rihanna’s Coachella attire, but hey the first step is admittance right? There were so many awesome aspects of Rihanna’s outfit for the popular annual music festival that we will do our best to break it all down. First off, we want to give it up one time for all the bling factor that RiRi had going on. She truly was shining bright like a diamond as she partied the night away with Oscars’ winner, Leonardo DiCaprio. One fabulous piece of style greatness that we are still obsessed with is Rihanna’s Coachella 2016 Spring Gucci Sunglasses.

When your career is red hot why shouldn’t a girl literally look like a shining star? For weeks we had been seeing Gucci’s spring eyewear and one pair took us by fashion storm. Mainly because we are such suckers for anything bedazzled. Therefore, an accessory with a rhinestone factor would definitely do it for us. Moreover, Rihanna’s Coachella 2016 Spring Gucci Sunglasses are for the girl who WANTS to be seen. For the girl who’s bold, a style risk-taker and comes alive at night. If that’s you then you really need these shades.

The rest of Rihanna’s look just kept getting better and better. She wore a vintage Harley Davidson sweatshirt and then ladies as well gents there was the jewelry. Hang on tight. First, take a closer look at the following photo then we’ll explain.

Rihanna wore three stunning jewelry pieces. The first two came from Lynn Ban: the Cameo Necklace as well as RF Initial Rings. Then the crown jewel was by Fallon, Fallon’s custom made Chantilly Lace Bandana. We want this bandana SO bad. It was blinging more than the stars that night! Fallon’s bandana is literally made with a vintage Hermes scarf. Style Achievement unlocked.

Between Rihanna’s Coachella 2016 Spring Gucci Sunglasses and her insane jewels she hands down won best-dressed. Keep on rocking RiRi and we’ll just keep obsessing.

Justine Skye High Ponytail Flipped To Side!

Arianne Suggs April 18, 2016April 18, 2016Leave a Comment

We cannot put it into exact words but there is just something absolutely hair-licious about a high ponytail reaching towards the heavens. If such a hairstyle could talk it would say something to the effect, “Hi, I’m a style and I’m like super fierce. What up?” Beyond that mix in some more dramatic attitude by flipping the script and pulling said hairstyle to the side and you’re just asking to command attention! The Purple Unicorn recently decided to let her tresses reign the hair game. The Justine Skye High Ponytail is what spring 2016 hair trends are all about and then some!

What’s not to love about the Justine Skye High Ponytail? It’s cool and modern thanks to her signature deep purple hair color. Plus, the volume of the tail makes the style seem less stiff and ridiculously fun to rock.

Nevertheless, what makes the voluminous tail such a nice touch is the sleekness leading up to the tail. To pull that off you will need a product with some serious holding power! All gels, pomades and edge control products are not created equal. Steer clear of of any gels that contain alcohol. Such gels will dry out your strands which is a major no-no if your goal is hair growth. Therefore, what are our suggestions for sculpting the Justine Skye High Ponytail?

Piece of cake! Here are two products that will have your hair laid in no time:

ECO STYLER OLIVE OIL STYLING GEL

ORGANIC ROOTS STIMULATOR OLIVE OIL EDGE CONTROL

We recommend using the gel to mold the ponytail into place. Then use the edge control for any stubborn strands. Nevertheless, if your hair is being a total you know what, just apply the edge control all over the base and brush like you’re in an aerobics class. Happy ponytail creating dolls!

Hair of the Week: Ciara’s Voluminous Waves Announcing BBMAs!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 13, 2016April 13, 2016Leave a Comment

Ciara’s hair this week made us want to get up and one, two step! Her tresses looked like they belonged in the grand state of Texas where everything is bigger. Ciara’s gorgeous voluminous waves spotted in NYC was quite fitting for the humongous news she had in her possession for this year’s BBMAs!

The BBMAs better known as the Billboard Music Awards are fast approaching in order to honor the best of the best in music. Ciara was on hand with hip hop artist Ludacris in New York City to announce this year’s nominees. However, the announcement would not be the only time we see this dynamic duo together in 2016. Ciara and Ludacris will be the hosts of the 2016 BBMAs next month!

This will not be Ludacris’ first stab at hosting one of the year’s hottest musical events. Like the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls Ludacris will 3-peat this year. So then, let us give a quick round of applause to Luda for scoring yet another hosting spot on the BBMAs.

Luda and CiCi make a great pairing for the show. They already have a smash hit under their belts due to working together. If the song Ride It came to mind go ahead and brush your shoulder off. You sir/ma’am are a music “G.”

Before this post closes let’s get back to that hair! Ciara scores our Hair of the Week award due to sheer volume alone. For weeks Ciara has rocked braids, updos and mostly very loose hanging waves. However, CiCi changed up her hair game by letting out her inner diva. She is serving us Diana Ross glamour. Moreover, the deep middle part gives her locks even more sleek attitude. We love it and hope to see more of it.

Congratulations to all of this year’s musical nominees. You can catch this year’s BBMAs hosted by Ciara and Ludacris on May 22nd. The show will air live on ABC network at 8/7c.

Halle Berry Slays MTV Movie Awards 2016 in LBD

Arianne Suggs April 11, 2016April 11, 2016Leave a Comment

When it comes to style Halle Berry can do no wrong! Halle recently broke social media by starting a personal twitter and Instagram account. Fans loved her aesthetic for the gram, but kept requesting that Berry show her lovely face instead of just nature shots. This past Saturday Halle Berry definitely gave the people what they wanted and then some. The insanely beautiful actress decided to shut down the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards 2016 in a sexy LBD (little black dress). Halle Berry looked absolutely fabulous in a Noam Hanoch dress with jewels (rings) by Sylva and Cie. The cut-out and lace details highlighted Berry’s killer bod and shape.

Black was definitely a trend at the MTV Movie Awards 2016. Several other actresses and models wore the classic tint as well. We spotted Nischelle Turner in a black Roberto Cavalli jumpsuit accessorized with shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti.

Halle Berry wasn’t the only one looking good and feeling good at the MTV Movie Awards 2016 ceremony. Queen Latifah, Will Smith (sons Trey and Jaden too), The Rock, Tyrese Gibson and Kevin Hart were all having good times. Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson were on hosting duty for the show. While Queen Latifah and Halle Berry presented Will Smith with the Generation award. Smith was honored for his outstanding television and film career as well as activism for diversity in Hollywood.

Hair Notes: As of late, Berry has had several spottings without her signature crop cut. Although we absolutely love her with next to no hair, we are loving her blonde highlighted tresses right now! The color and length is a refreshing look for Halle.

2016 MTV Movie Awards: Kat Graham Dolce Gabbana Throwback

Arianne Suggs April 11, 2016April 11, 2016Leave a Comment

Beauty Kat Graham attended the 2016 MTV Movie Awards in a form fitting vintage design. Well… that is if you consider 13 years long enough for fashion to be considered “retro.” Graham rocked a gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana dress that was apart of the DG Spring 2003 collection.

One of the biggest fears of any fashionable woman is showing up somewhere and seeing some other chick wearing the same exact look as you. Kat kind of had the same moment this past weekend at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards. If time travel was real or possible we could of boarded a machine and went back to the year 2003 and find Queen Bey wearing the same DG dress! Beyonce wore the sexy number for the recording of a show at Dave Letterman. Actually, that far back Bey wasn’t even Queen Bey and even more so Mr. Letterman isn’t even on TV anymore; so most likely, some may be reading this like who in the world is Dave?! Yeah, girls that’s just how far back we just went.

Let’s move things back forward then, shall we? We think both ladies definitely had the physiques to pull off the Dolce and Gabbana gown, however, we think Kat’s overall ensemble was put together a tad better. Instead of black accessories like Bey, Kat went for more neutral designs. Graham polished off her 2016 MTV Movie Awards look with Casadeio sandals, jewelry from Sethi couture, Levian and Rachel Katz as well as an Oroton clutch. For this particular dress we prefer less is more, but let’s still give credit where credit is due dolls. Beyonce still was setting the trends back in the day that would still be just as posh today.

She helped pave the way for more diversity as well as opportunities for black girls wishing to be apart of an industry that’s standard of beauty did not always include those of a darker shade.

Naomi rose to success not because of her skin tone, but because she possessed the talent, drive and finesse to make it happen. For every shoot, appearance and show she always presented herself at the highest level possible. She is a strong example that confidence, determination and a well-developed skillset can propel an individual to greatness.
