Our Style Ambassador Carlifonia took time out to share with us another one of her classic ensembles as well as what helps make her so stylish. She shared,
“I am me… I am a natural… I am true to myself and my style which makes me be always impeccable. [I follow the motto] of staying true to who you are. If you stick to your own personal style, you will never go wrong. Remember your personality is a strong indicator of what style suits you best! Stay true to who you are and your everyday lifestyle will be fun and exciting.”

Singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock was spotted looking rather chic as she arrived at the BBC Radio Studio on June 15, 2015. Leigh-Anne is a member of the English girl group Little Mix who were formerly known as Rhyhmix. The group was formed back in 2011 and consists of four girls: Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirwall, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson. If you are looking for an American comparison think along the lines of Danity Kane.
We loved the blue jumpsuit that Pinnock wore during her outing, especially since it was belted which is great for defining the waist. Moreover, her hair was also just as divine. Leigh-Anne’s high topknot was just as effortlessly cool as her ensemble.

Tis’ the season of travel and je-tsetter Rihanna is no different. The B*tch Better Have My Money starlet was seen walking through LAX airport in Los Angeles, California yesterday on June 14, 2o15. RiRi wore camouflage pants, graphic tee, an over-sized leather jacket as well as bag with a hat and shades. It is rumored that Rihanna was headed out of town after enjoying a dinner date with Karim Benzema.
Hair Notes: It looks like Rihanna is still enjoying being a redhead, a hair look that popped back up around Coachella. Nonetheless, if you are planning to travel quite a distance by plane a hat is an excellent accessory to help “tame the beast” so to speak. No matter how you sleep or rest your tired pretty little head you will not have to worry if your hair looks alright allowing you to travel with less stress.

“One doesn’t want fashion to look ridiculous, silly, or out of step with the times- but you do want designers that make you thinkt, hat make you look at fashion differently. That’s how fashion changes. If it doesn’t change, it’s not looking forward. And that’s important to me.”

Hugo Boss is heating up the summer with their ad campaign featuring one of the fashion industry’s newest it girls, Binx Walton. Walton shares the fashion stage with fellow model, Lexi Boling as the two pose in a desert atmosphere. Being a movie a nerd I immediately thought Star Wars meets 2015, but the couture brought me back down to reality.
As cool as it would be to see the princess shooting troopers in Hugo Boss I enjoyed the overall feel of the campaign as it was actually intended. The collection has a very nice color palette of white, cream and even a airy light blue. Belted skirts and dresses with relaxed slouchy pants make chic comfort easily attainable. This collection is perfect for the lady on-the-go who wants to look tailored without being overly stuffy. The campaign was styled by Tom Van Dorpe and lensed by Pierre Debusschere.
It looks like the guys wanted in on the Hugo Boss action too!

As more and more women are celebrating as well as embracing their shapes and physiques, retailers are answering the call to provide fashionable couture for more than those that fall within the size 2 category. Fashion retailer Torrid made it clear that for the summer season they want women to feel amazing and confident with their bodies. The CEO of Torrid explained,
“We change lives, we see that everyday. We see tears in our dressing rooms when girls realize they too can look beautiful and sexy in a swimsuit. We’re empowering them to join the movement — wear swimsuits with confidence, real cover girl style.”
Any woman young or old can testify that swim wear shopping can be quite intimidating. Thoughts of fluffy mid-sections, muffin-top, boob spillage, thunder thighs and even cottage cheese legs make wearing little to nothing seem worse than jumping out of a plane. Moreover, it seems that some designers do not want to cater to bodies that do not resemble a clothes hanger. How is Torrid changing the game when it comes to bathing suits? Torrid’s Senior Vice President of Design says of their summer collection,
“This collection is the culmination of two years of building and perfecting the best swimsuits I have ever seen or have had the pleasure to wear. These suits are fun and young and without compromise. They’re the kind of suits that, when wearing them, you find a confidence in yourself you never thought you’d have in a swimsuit.”
All that time designing swim wear was well worth it by the look of things. The collection is vibrant and the ad campaign showing them off is simply gorgeous. Torrid’s swim wear collection for summer 2015 is available now is covers sizes 12-28.

Festival season fashion is spilling on over into summer with the help of crop tops and denim. The look is quite streamlined but due to the revealing of skin adds much appeal! If you still feel that you want to take your look up a notch try turning to accessories to add a little more punch. As shown a great hat, sunglasses or bold shoe choice can instantly provide more flair.

“Music to me is so internal. It’s physical and it’s emotional. Whereas fashion is so much about the external that it’s almost like a break. It’s not inner turmoil. It’s total escapism.”

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.
Control Sector decided to bust out with an entire collection of modern designs. We absolutely love the futuristic feel of the clothes in the form of bombers, rainwear, tees, tapered bottoms and short-sleeve tops. Most guys like to keep it fresh and keep it simple when it comes to their wardrobe. Control Sector answers the call with contemporary, refined yet muli-faceted pieces.
