Holly Holly Holly! Mrs. Peete looked stunning in a Michael Costello creation as she attended Hollyrod Foundation’s 16th Annual DesignCare 2014. Holly’s black satin gown with plunging neckline scored ohs and ahs from all in attendance. Proceeds from this great cause and event will go to the Hollyrod Foundation, which helps families living with Autism and Parkinson’s Disease.
Peete posed it out like a supermodel on the red carpet and even snapped a pic with DeWayne Wade. Costello is definitely having an amazing year his designs are heavily sought after by divas from around the globe. Be sure to check out the exclusive interview we had with Michael regarding his fashions on our 1966 Magazine Youtube Channel (just scroll to the bottom of this page).
These sandals are simply FABULOUS! The ankle straps, metal detailing and intricate design shout, ” I’m chic purchase me!” We hear New Look loud and clear with their collection especially with this particular pair of sandals. They are the perfect example of a summer shoe that can translate easily from daytime wear to a night out excursion.
Little ladies and teen queens can look just has modern and fabulous as their older counterparts. Case in point, the Bonnie Young Summer Collection for 2014. The fashions are fresh, hip and oozing with sophistication.
We are mad for any couture that has exquisite detailing. The Bonnie Young collection delivers by showcasing camouflage, florals and 3D geometry. Enjoy the looks and don’t forget to share as well as give us your fashion thoughts!
