Now for this next bit of information, don’t shoot us we are just the messenger. Several gals asked about those insanely cute pink and white robes the Vickie dolls were wearing backstage. Although they are not apart of the official 2015 Fashion Show Gear lineup there are quite a few lingerie looks that resemble the robes flair. If you missed seeing photos of this year’s robe selection here are a few pics to get you up to speed:

Trends come and go, but great style will always last forever. One area of fashion that should never be neglected is the use of accessories. Accessories are like the icing to a cake, the cherry on top of a perfect sundae. If you want your ensemble to be chic then indulge yourself in the little details.
This season, rocking geometric accessories is a must-do. From triangle necklaces to circular rings and cuffs, adding standout shapes to your jewelry routine will elevate any outfit.
Alright guys layering is not difficult to pull off and can give you a nice classic look in seconds. If you have ever taken a plaid shirt and placed it over a t-shirt then you my friend have attempted and succeeded in layering an ensemble. See it is a very simple look that can instantly give an outfit more depth and drama.
With winter just around the corner sweater weather is quickly approaching. As reported this trend is going to be a hot commodity for the ladies but will also be a must-have for guys as well. Therefore, what is the easiest way to layer like a true player?
First off, guys we get it… in man fashion if its not comfortable you are not likely to wear it. So invest in a pair of denim that is a combination of a great fit without having to sacrifice being comfy. Next, choose a just a relaxed undershirt to under a sweater so that if you got too hot the shirt and jeans would still play. We have found that solid colored tees are perfect because there’s no confusion as to whether it will match or not.
Finally, cop a sweater as well as a pair of winter boots and you are good to go. Once again sweaters that are all one color are a no-brainer when it comes to layering, but if you are not a conservative gent do not be afraid to play with color, pattern and geometric design.

To many this is the most wonderful time of the year and in a fashion sense it truly is and then some! When it is warmer wouldn’t you agree that many times only one to three items are needed to complete an ensemble? However, once temperatures take a dive layering and heavier duds become the queens of the style dominion. Therefore, what clothing item will you want to get your hands on NOW in order to rule the street style catwalk?
Sweater weather is back ladies and better than ever! This season cozy up in our top neutral and bold fall color picks for under $50 from Canyon River Blues, Covington and Metaphor to make sure you will never have to sacrifice style for comfort. Take a lesson from Queen Bey who knows her way around the sweater department.
We recently had the opportunity as well as pleasure of interviewing an emerging designer who hails from ATL, Georgia. Due to such popular shows such as the Real Housewives of Atlanta, the style influence from the ATL has never been hotter! Emmanuel Lartey is breathing new life into the fashion scene by designing clothing that reflects his own work ethic, values as well as personality. Lartey’s determination for success is inspiring and definitely of note to be imitated. Read on to learn more about Emmanuel Lartey as well as his up and coming brand, Eldesign.
Who or what inspired you to develop your own clothing line?
Life inspired me to start my own clothing line. It wasn’t till I graduated from college that I learned how life hits you in the face and its either sink or swim. So after some hard days, I would listen to my music and create whatever design that god placed in my head. It became an outlet and a way for me to express myself.
Have you always had an interest in fashion?
No it wasn’t till I graduated from college and gave up football that I wanted to learn more about the fashion world and put my flavor in it.
How did the name of your brand, Eldesign, come about?
Eldesign is the name of my brand. I used my initials+design to create eldesign.
What type of girl or woman would you say that your clothing line would appeal to?
My clothing line would appeal to females and kids. The kids clothing will consist of different versions of Creg, who is my brand’s mascot.
Please break it down for us, what type of items are available for purchase including hats, shirts, etc. and where can ladies go to get your designs?
Eldesign makes hats, shirts, pants, and different accessories. Follow us on IG @eldesignthecollection, like us on Facebook eldesignthecollection, and check out our website www.eldesignthecollection.com for new releases.
What challenges have you experienced as a designer and how are you overcoming them?
Some challenges I experienced at the beginning, was deciding who my brand will target. I was caught up in showing off my talent that I didn’t realize that most of my loyal customers were mostly females. So I made some changes and created more female apparel. This was my way of thanking my loyal customers.
Where would you like to see your brand take off to in the future? Meaning in 5 or 10 years when people say or hear Eldesign what do you hope that they will be thinking?
In 5 Years my brand will be recognized internationally and when people say Eldesign the first thing they will think of is Creg. I am confident in this prediction because of my vision, grind, and god’s will.

Remember that really ugly sweater that grandma and grandpa gifted you while pinching your cheeks? Well, we can’t fix the damage done to your jawline or make sure no one ever sees that family photo of you in said sweater on Facebook. However, Drake is coming to the rescue this season to make sure your sweater is a little bit epic this time around.
Now before you start envisioning Drake at home knitting just know it’s his likeness from his latest music video that is being used. Drake’s dance moves have been the subject of millions of social media posts, news articles and youtube videos making even one particular math teacher an instant celebrity. Now its the couture world’s turn to remix and add their flavor to the Hotline Bling mania.
Close Up of the Hotline Bling Sweater
One sweater that caught our attention and that sadly we are actually seriously considering purchasing (LOL), can be found at the online store The Yetee. The Hotline Bling Holiday Sweater showcases Drake’s signature moves from his music video along with snowflakes (Aw tis’ the season), cocktails and of course the blinging cell phone (insert laughing emoji)!
This honestly is one of the most awesome sweaters we have come across in a very long time. Act fast if you want one though, because The Yetee only has the Drake Hotline Bling sweater for pre-order until the November 8th. The sweater that will save ugly sweater season can be all yours for just $25.

Just in case you live under a rock (its alright sometimes we feel that way too) and you have not experienced the greatness known as Drake’s new Hotline Bling music video. Check it out for yourself down below:
Let us not forget boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen that today marks a fashion moment that shall definitely go down in history as being one of the best couture pairings ever. For months on our style calendars we have waited out for time to pass so that November 5th would finally be upon us at long last. Why is today so awesome when it comes to being “en vogue?”
The Balmain X H&M collaboration is finally available to the masses for purchase. One item that we definitely want to cop ASAP before stores run out is the Balmain X H&M Cotton and Leather Shoe With Metal Detailing. These heels which retails for $199 are right on trend for the season and will give your various ensembles the perfect chic boost. Just scroll through this post to see all of the different outfits that were paired with these beauties.
Caged style heels are huge right now so if you want to look like a bag of money you will want to indulge in this look. Balmain has been a brand that has been just out of reach for many ladies due to its price point. However, retailers such as H&M understand that the French label’s appeal is a major sale waiting to happen thanks to its cool factor made evident by supermodels, bloggers, celebrities, social media models and the like.
Besides stunning shoes, you will be able to get your fashion hands on Balmain’s infamous sequined dresses, beaded coats and jackets as well as gold and black tops. Nonetheless, our final thoughts on word on the caged heels is that it is a very versatile design. This means you can wear them with dresses, pants, jumpsuits and skirts which will go a long way in getting your money’s worth.

We are sure by that title instantly you are thinking, come on 1966 that sounds way too good to be true. However, we are here to let you in on a little secret that is allowing women to turn fashion into hard cold cash. How are these fashionistas making an extra buck or two? We will give it to you straight… they have entered the world known as Pawn My Gucci Purse. What in the world does that entail?
Well, handbags made by Gucci have always fetched a nice price namely because the Italian brand is in very high demand. As Instagram models and Tumblr stars grow in popularity so does the desire to have their designer duds. Like editorial models these ladies help influence the trends that all girls want not now, but RIGHT now.

Every picture these dolls take are an easy marketing campaign for the brand or label that gave it to them. Think about how often you have scrolled the comment section seeing various girls asking where they can get a particular fashion item. Product placement is pushing sales which is why social media is becoming a bigger marketing beast.
Therefore, what does all of this mean for gals who have a Gucci purse laying around at home? Well, it is very good news because this means the market is very much in your favor. Pawn shops want what you possess and they want it bad because they know it is an easy sale. They know girls want these designer bags and if they can get their hands on them then it is lights out, cha-ching all the way to the bank.
