Geek is Chic, Beautiful Black Women That Are Down With 4 Eyes

Arianne Suggs July 22, 2015July 22, 2015Leave a Comment

Nerd, dork, geeky and so drop dead chic! In the days ruled by chalkboards and textbooks most ladies do not want to be known as quintessential “nerd.” However, geek chic style can still be fun, sophisticated and dare we say cool?

There are plenty of ways to allow your inner fashion nerd to escape and be free. Try incorporating a pair of stylish suspenders with a pleated skirt and button down shirt. Or, if you are a shoe fanatic ( it’s okay the first step is admittance LOL) pair your heels with socks and get to strutting your stuff. Moreover, you could also support your favorite comic character by rocking a tee with their image plastered all over it. Extra points if you plan on wearing top related to the Avengers or Wonder Woman. Nevertheless, there is one major accessory that most fashionista’s keep in their back pocket when they are ready be the chic geek.

To pull off this trendy look all a girl really needs is a fashionable pair of glasses. Take being called four eyes as a compliment, because girl you look great! Don’t worry about getting a pair with a prescription unless you need a little help in the eyesight department. A regular pair of bifocals will also not break the bank or set your wallet on fire making it a cheaper trend to indulge in freely.

Celebrities wear the geek chic trend more often than you think and not just to star-studded galas either! We have spotted nerd couture being worn by some of our favorite celebrity gals. Here are just a few:

See, whether you are going for a sophisticated and conservative or relaxed and edgy, a little nerdy flair can help to complete your look. Notice though for the most part the makeup on all the ladies was kept rather simple. With the exception of a pop of color via a red lip, a neutral makeup look will allow the focus to remain on the accessory (glasses). Moreover, let’s face it the glasses may hide all of your hard eye makeup work so if you want to add some beauty boldness it is best to pump up your lips instead.

Arianne Suggs July 21, 2015July 21, 2015Leave a Comment

Rihanna has been lighting up NYC with her glorious fashion presence for weeks now. Whether it’s been a trip to the gym, studio or out for a fabulous night on the town Rihanna has been an absolute stunner. Where has the singer been spotted as of late?

RiRi was seen having some good times at the 10AK Nightclub in Southampton, NYC. Rihanna sported a strappy little black dress, curly updo and metallic heels. The sheer trend continues to go strong as Rihanna bared glimpses of her killer shape.

Beauty Notes: We always emphasis that nails can make a powerful statement as much as any piece of clothing. Rihanna’s gorgeous red nails packed just as much punch as her sexy gown.

And she wasn’t the only one spotted at 10AK:

Rihanna didn’t party it up alone she even grabbed a snapshot with model/actress and reality star, Cynthia Bailey.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 21, 2015July 17, 2015Leave a Comment

As my mother used to always say, the quickest way to ruin a perfectly good outfit is by wearing the wrong pair of shoes. Shoe trends are always on the move but one that seems to make it’s sexy return is the strappy heel. These shoes work great with pants, dresses, skirts, skorts and jumpsuits. With such versatility you can not afford to not have a pair in your wardrobe.

Here are a few celebrity inspired options on how to make strappy heels work for you:

Style Ambassador: Stripes and Everything Nice

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022July 13, 2015Leave a Comment

By the looks of things we see that you are loving keeping up with our Style Ambassador Carly aka Carlifonia. Stripes were a major trend this year on the runway and Carly showcases how she personally likes to rock it! Alright dolls let’s break down her look…

Carly rocks a nautical stripe top that she paired with a chic pair of distressed denim. Now, here is where the fun part really begins, adding accessories to the mix. Our SA added a hat, necklace as well as pop of color with her handbag and peep-toe shoes. The pop of color is great to add more dimension to your outfit.

Carly has been busy with school learning the ropes on how to be a stellar engineer. We are super impressed with how posed she has been during her tough exams and how she seems to know at such a young age what she really wants out of life. She recently shared with us what is her key to being so well-adjusted. She said,

“I’ve realized that you are not going to know you really are, nor what you are made of if you do not give yourself time. However, if you give yourself time you might just be surprised with the outcome.”

Time…something that almost seems to allude us is all that is needed for us to round out into the individuals we really wish to be. A cake is only good if it is allowed to bake to its full potential. Let’s all be like Carly in order to give ourselves the time to fully develop and reach success.

Cinderella didn’t even look this good on her best night! Serena Williams attended a ball of her very own right after her historic win this past weekend at Wimbledon. The championship dinner affair was held in London, England at the Guild Hall.

The championship dinner is exactly how it sounds, both champs come dressed to impressed as they are crowned in glory. Serena made her entrance in a gorgeous peach toned gown that made her look like she had come right off the pages of a fairy tale. Serena took to social media to thank her fans for their unwavering support and to explain what the moment really meant to her. She wrote on Instagram,

“This does not happen everyday or every year. I am so happy to hold this memorable trophy for the 6th time. #SerenaSlam 2.0 #renasarmy thanks for the love and support.”

One of our favorite moments of the night was when both winners decided to cut a little rug for the cameras. Both Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic busted out some signature moves punctuating the evening with a major high note.

Here is a quick snapshot of Williams and Djokovic with their hard-earned trophies!

Atelier Versace Couture Fall/Winter 2015-2016 Collection

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015Leave a Comment

Versace’s collection for fall/winter 2015-2016 made us want to march ourselves right back to Coachella! The couture essence of the runway show reminded us of fashions often worn during the music festival season. Flowing, revealing with an ethereal delicacy capturing the beauty of true femininity.

Each gown was effortlessly beautiful making each model seem to dance down the runway in an almost dreamlike state. The color palette of the collection ranged from light and airy tints and drifted into noire masterpieces. If Disney wanted to gift the prize of being dressed as a princess they would no doubt have the lucky young lady choose from the Versace collection!

Paris fashion week is in full swing and numerous celebrities have come out to play. Naomi Campbell still knows how to excite fashion onlookers and work it! The gorgeous supermodel attended the Atelier Versace runway show in an all white power suit.

Naomi clearly demonstrates that there is no need to fear that one may look too ‘masculine’ when wearing suits. It is all about the tailoring and fit of the suit so that curves are not lost or swallowed up. Moreover, the openness of the deep V cut adds some sassy appeal revealing a touch of skin.

Naomi enjoyed the stylish occasion as she sat next to Russian model Irina Shayk for the Versace fall-winter 2015/2016 Haute Couture fashion collection show.

Jada Pinkett Has a Versace Moment in Amsterdam

Arianne Suggs July 3, 2015July 3, 2015Leave a Comment

We have said it before and we will say it again, this woman is giving us life! The Magic Mike XXL tour rolls on and at its recent destination Jada Pinkett once more stole the red carpet show! Jada has been an absolute gem in every city the Magic Mike crew has touched down in to promote the film.

Pinkett hit the red carpet premiere in Amsterdam in an ombre Versace gown with sheer details. Like at previous premieres, Jada finished dolling up her look with jewelry by Monica Vinader.

The whole squad still looking good too!

Hair Notes: Who says women with short hair do not have options? Jada has been working her short cut like rent is due! We love the style variation with tresses pulled back off the face to the side with wispy strands floating free. The overall result is flirtatious, sophisticated and very polished.
