ArianneUpdated on August 20, 2018August 19, 2018

The Item: Singer, dancer as well as actress, Cassie wearing the GOLONDRINA Nubes Kaftan. The always gorgeous Cassie was seen posing in her designer frock while relaxing in Big Sur. The ocean town is located on the west coast in California.

You Asked: This girl makes me sick. She is just so beautiful and she looks good in everything. I am a fan for life for real. So I just have to know about that long, white dress she had on the other day. Is it really expensive?

The Verdict: We got your message and we have to agree, Cassie is always a beauty! We too loved her Big Sur attire, a garment by GOLONDRINA. The fashion label sells handmade garments made in Mexico.

This light and airy frock, is known as the GOLONDRINA Nubes Kaftan. A kaftan is a term for a woman’s long, loose dress or a loose top/shirt. For a man, it is often referring to a belted tunic. Nevertheless, how much is Cassie’s long white kaftan look currently retailing for? It can be purchased for $106. The website is www.golondrinacollection.com.

Runway Fashion: Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show

ArianneUpdated on July 6, 2018July 6, 2018

Whenever you think of an Iris Van Herpen show you know you are in for masterful drama as well as a level of architectural precision that is light-years ahead of any artisan. The recent Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show did not disappoint. Exquisite tailoring, imaginative patterns as well as mind-blowing lasercut garments radiantly made their way down the dark, shadowy catwalk.

Runway Fashion: Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show

We can only describe this fashion show in one word, mesmerizing. From gowns that float as if they had sprouted wings or drip from a waterfall; to attire reminiscent of iridescent feathers. The entire Iris Van Herpen Fall 2018 collection is just a divine spectacle to behold.

Designer Iris Van Herpen shared a few words regarding the inspiration beyond this extraordinary show. Iris reveals,

“For ‘Syntopia’ I felt inspired by the intricate echoing work of the artists Studio Drift. Their spatial kinetic installation ‘In 20 Steps’ is constructed of 20 delicate glass wings; that represent all the different steps of flying in an abstract way.

The vivacious glass bird flows in symbiosis with the models while they move over the runway. Their delicate interaction emphasizes the fragility of new worlds living and soaring together.”

Fashionable Mention: Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel in Dark-Rose

Arianne May 9, 2018May 9, 2018

Got bag? We spied with with our couture eye; the Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel. A smaller masterpiece, but full of alluring style and detailing. How so?

Fashionable Mention: Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel in Dark-Rose

One thing that we absolutely love about this accessory, is it’s versatility. While some bags can only function one way; this particular design gives the wearer multiple options! Think various strap lengths as well as a plethora of styling finishes. Ranging from cross body to over the shoulder.

The Alexander McQueen label describes it’s hit handbag as follows:

“Jewelled satchel in dark-rose smooth calf leather. Features a gold finished four ring adornment encrusted with Swarowski crystals. Inside, the bag [contains] a black suede-effect lining, two main compartments and a zip pocket.

[Also] it has an adjustable leather and gold metal chain crossbody strap; which features 5 holes for different adjustable lengths. Bag can be worn multiple ways:

Hand held using the ring handle.
Hand held by doubling up the straps.
Alternatively, wear over the shoulder.
Wear cross body using the leather and chain straps.

[Furthermore] the Jewelled Satchel comes with brass hardware with an antique gold finish. The bag can accommodate most smartphones.”

Fashionable Mention: Alexander McQueen Jewelled Satchel in Dark-Rose -Closing Remarks

Not feeling the Dark-Rose tone? Well, the great thing about Alexander McQueen is that usually there are other delicious hues available. For this stunning bag you can also purchase it in classic black. Black never really goes out of trend; therefore, you will have a fab bag that will stand the test of fashion time.

Nevertheless, there is still one aspect of the Jewelled Satchel that we have not touched yet. The price. This satchel retails for 1,690 Euros or $2,190.

The Item: Octavia Spencer Wearing Tadashi Shoji Fall 2017 RTW. The Oscar and Golden Globe winning actress was seen in her stunning attire while attending the 2017 Venice Film Festival.

You Asked: Finally some news about us curvy girls! I have always loved Octavia Spencer but she really came out on top with Hidden Figures! I wish she could get more attention but she got mine in that red dress. Who is it by? She looks great! And bless you 1966 you guys are doing such a great job. One my favorite mags!

Ask and Tell: Octavia Spencer Wearing Tadashi Shoji Fall 2017 RTW

The Verdict: Well thank you so much and we are so happy to hear that you enjoy our content! Moreover, we too loved Spencer in Hidden Figures as well as her ensemble for the 2017 Venice Film Festival. For the red carpet event Octavia wore a design from the Tadashi Shoji Fall 2017 RTW (Ready to Wear) collection.

However, Octavia’s look for the festival was customized. We actually love both versions of this rouge look. Nevertheless, unlike the original catwalk design, Octavia’s custom garment includes a chic peplum style that added a nice sophisticated touch and really showcased her beautiful curves!
