Jada, Aisha and Garcelle Work It at Magic Mike XXL Premiere

Arianne Suggs June 27, 2015June 27, 2015Leave a Comment

We thought it was going to be a night all about the guys but these ladies said not so fast! Jada Pinkett, Aisha Tyler and Garcelle Beauvais shutdown the red carpet on June 26, 2015 at the premiere of Magic Mike XXL. The star studded event was held in Hollywood, California at the infamous TCL aka Chinese Theater. The ladies wore gowns that showed a little leg and skin, but showcased their unique style.

Garcelle wore a white frock with cut-outs and gasp…POCKETS! We couldn’t believe our eyes at first for it seemed almost to good to be true. A sexy dress with a comfort feature for our keys, man sign us up!

Funny lady Aisha Tyler came out to support her girlfriend Jada and rocked a LBD (Little Black Dress). We loved the structured front panel of Tyler’s modern and elegant gown. She kept her accessories simplistic with a handbag, black heels and exotic ring.

We have been seeing the color yellow popping up quite a bit among the celebrity fold and Pinkett stunned in her own bold tinted dress. Jada looked exquisite in a gown from the Ermanno Scervino Pre-Fall 2015 collection. The magic may be Mike’s but these ladies surely enchanted us all last night!

Solange Knowles Attends Pride Week 2015

Arianne Suggs June 26, 2015June 26, 2015Leave a Comment

Singer and DJ Solange Knowles was spotted looking fabulous while walking the streets of SOHO. Solange was in town in order to be in attendance for the NYC Pride and Kiehl’s Since 1851 Celebrate Pride Week 2015 event held in New York City. So then, what was Knowles wearing while taking part in celebrations on June 25th?

In world that believes that as time passes various fashion can fall into the “Oh that was so last season” category. Obviously, Solange did not receive that memo and neither does she care which is why she is a fashion risk-taker! Knowles was looking mellow yellow in an ensemble from the Harbison Fall 2013 collection. A bold move but shows that good fashion can never truly go out of style.

Yellow is a very bold tint but it is a shade that conveys happiness, joy and fun. Knowles has never been afraid to wear this boisterous shade and has rocked on numerous occasions. Just see for yourself and get inspired to give yellow a try!

Kenzo Resort 2016

Alicia Suggs June 19, 2015June 19, 2015Leave a Comment

Kenzo Resort 2016 collection is in tune with mother nature. Such a great concept to use the world around you as inspiration to try and create new textile, fabrics and color combination you might sometimes overlook.

This Resort 2016 collection is heavy on camel, tan, brown and black. What we love also are the prints they look just like the texture of rock formations in the Palm Spring Desert Mountains. The collection is so beautiful to look at and looks extremely luxe. Kenzo has done it again with models Damaris Goddrie and Karly Loyce.

The No Makeup-Makeup Look

Arianne Suggs June 4, 2015June 4, 2015Leave a Comment

Designer Christopher Kane has teamed up this year with Nars to create a collection to help women achieve the runway beauty look that his models are known for… the bare face. The collaboration with Nars is said to include color, well Christopher Kane’s version of color which is subtle and simple. Such simplicity of makeup ensures that the natural beauty of women is clearly seen and not masked by layers of cosmetics and tints. Christopher Kane says,

“Nars has been a long-standing and valued partner of ours, so this collaboration was an obvious fit. Nars has the same unapologetic aesthetic that is signature to the Christopher Kane brand…I’m excited to share what we’ve created together.”

Arianne Suggs June 1, 2015June 1, 2015Leave a Comment

We are fans of Ghanaian stylist Edward Enninful and we were delighted to see his latest work for W magazine. In the June 2015 edition, Enninful got to dress up the beautiful Jourdan Dunn for an editorial showcasing fashions we can’t wait to rock once the heat wave ends. Many of the season’s trends seem to spill on over i.e. stripes, florals and patchwork pants. Moreover, are we the only ones that are absolutely in love with those globe earrings? The entire editorial is simply genius and had an all star team to boot. Hair and makeup were handled by Shon Hyungsun Ju as well as Frankie Boyd and the shoot was lensed by Alasdair McLellan.

Arianne Suggs May 29, 2015May 29, 2015Leave a Comment

It can be challenging to make something so simple still seem full of depth. This is why the Markaware S/S 2015 lookbook gets a fashionable mention today because of the very clean yet enhanced fashions. The collection reads as minimalistic meets military with a color palette in the earthy tones arena. Collection shows that when tailoring is done well you don’t really need much more.

Vashtie Kola and Puma S/S 2015 Collaboration

Arianne Suggs May 28, 2015May 28, 2015Leave a Comment

She is an accomplished director, filmaker, artist, designer and basically Instagram royalty. Easy on the eyes and the very talented Vashtie has paired up with Puma to create a stylish collection for summer. The collection is inspired by the B-boy and NYC skate subcultures of the 80’s and 90’s. So think bombers, tanks, jerseys and gold detailing. The grittiness and edge of the collection was encapsulated by the shoot which took place around a downtown metro station in Manhattan.

Bright colors, florals, prints and white couture are all apart of Primark’s fab collection. From jumpsuits to shorts, from crop tops to stylish flowing dresses there is a fashion forward piece for any woman’s taste or style.
