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

Pajama parties are making a comeback! What better way to spend time talking to your squad about the Mr. Good Looking and how he better pick up the pace before cuffing season ends. The girlfriend PJ soiree is one filled of laughs, tears, chick flicks, specialty food/drinks and of course style! Long gone are the days of throwing on that old oversized shirt left by the ex or given to you by grandma. Remember ladies, those Instagram “woes” photos are going to need a fashionable touch to break 100 likes.

Take a cue from island gal Rihanna who always sets tone and trends associated with good fashion. Rihanna chose to lounge in a Jack Wills Onesie Striped Pajamas ensemble. Super cute, super comfortable and by the looks of the photos highly voguish.

Better yet, Joe Boxer’s Flannel Pajama Shirt & Pant Sets retail for only $34 so everyone can match without breaking the bank while saving budget for that coveted ice cream sundae bar for a truly special event!

Rihanna Showcases The New PUMA Eskiva

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 26, 2015October 26, 2015Leave a Comment

Looking to take your shoe game to a whole other level? Then, it is time to look to the badgal herself for the pair of sporty sneaks that you are going to want to cop before the holiday rush. Rihanna can be seen flying high in PUMA’s latest release, the PUMA Eskiva.

Now we are only going to warn all the sneaker heads and kicks lovers out there once. If you want to get your hands on these bad boys you better put your bids in now. Remember Rihanna’s Creeper shoes sold out in just three hours! Of course, it is of note that the Eskiva is not a collaboration between Rihanna and the popular brand. Rihanna is a brand ambassador with creative director responsibilities, however, in this case Rihanna is just on modeling duty.

Nevertheless, everything that Rihanna seems to touch seems to sale. Therefore, do not sleep on the Eskivas or you may be watching your friends walking around in them instead.

Personally, we are fans of the Eskiva Hi design because of its more modern feel and look than the average sneaker. However, there is a Mid style for those who are feeling the Eskiva but prefer a more normal shoe height. Check out a few more photos below and be advised that the shoe is available for purchase.

Tom Ford Exclusive Eyewear

Whether Tom Ford is designing for men or women one thing is for sure, his fashions are always a hit. Besides the announcement this week of a new lipstick (check out our next post for details) that is to be named after mister Hotline Bling himself, Drake, we could not get enough of the visuals highlighting a few pf Tom’s accessory pieces. From handbags to jewelry Ford is bringing a luxurious flair to women’s fashion and style.

We love the sophisticated as well as versatile design of these accessories allowing them to go from day to night seamlessly. Moreover, if matching accessories can be a little of a challenge the color palette of these accessories will match nicely with an array of fall/winter ensembles. Here are just a few of the plush designs from the Tom Ford Autumn/Winter collection.

Supermodel Sharim Diniz Attends Balmain for H&M Fashion Show

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

23 Wall St. of New York City was the biggest style party of night thanks to the arrival of Oliver Rousteing’s Balmain army. Some of the biggest names in the modeling world came out to stomp the runway in the Balmain for H&M collection show highlighting designer fashions that are more “affordable” for the average fashionista. What exactly does affordable mean in relation to the BalmainxHM collection?

Keeping it totally 100, the high-end collaboration contains designs well over the $500 mark, however, do not despair if your dream is to own a Balmain creation even if the wallet isn’t as fat right now. Every last piece of collection will be available for sale beginning on November 5th and will include several pieces under $100! So then, even though this dreamy match up between Balmain and H&M is not the cheapest collab we have seen from H&M there are still plenty of styles available that will not completely break the bank.

Nevertheless, besides world renown beauties strutting their stuff down the catwalk there were plenty of stunners sitting right in the audience partaking of the show. One being the drop dead, I Wanna Hate On You But I Love Your Style SoFreakin’ Much, Sharim Diniz. Sharim looked too beautiful for words in a yellow Balmain dress as she supported her dear friend Oliver. Diniz took to social media during show stating,

“Supporting my favorite designer from all times Oliver Rousteing…”

“THE BEST SHOW EVER <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 CONGRATS OLI!”

Her sentiments rang true right along with several other celebs who felt the show was very successful as well. The only part of the night that broke our hearts is seeing The Backstreet Boys being inducted into the Balmain squad. Nothing against the boys, it’s just that we are NSYNC fans (LOL), but in the spirit of fashion we are willing to let it go.

Rose Palhares the genius behind the Angolan fashion brand bearing her name has but together a stunning lookbook that showcases the immense beauty found in African designs. Back in her homeland Rose is revered as “The Fashion Princess” and she has the fashion chops and accolades to back up such a honorary nickname. Palhares won Designer of the Year in 2013 and has been bestowed with the privilege of representing Angolan style at Milan’s Expo 2015.

In regards to the lookbook aptly entitled “New African Aesthetic” that is definitely the vibe we instantly received from it upon first sight. Of course, you will notice west African flavor that is famous for its powerful use of boisterous colors and animal prints including leopard and zebra. Nevertheless, Rose Palhares manages to take iconic styles and morph them into modern, newly envisioned masterpieces!

The overall styling is just as eye-catching as the designs themselves. Models Elsa Baldaia and Silvia Costa both wear bold gold jewelry with hair fashioned into Bantu Knots. Moreover, do not even get us started with the makeup honey! Strong brows, colorful smoked out eyes and some bangin’ dark lip color gave Elsa and Silvia a sultry allure. All hail the fabulous Rose Palhares, The Fashion Princess!

Karrueche Tran Stuns In Solace London at Autism Speaks Gala

Arianne Suggs October 9, 2015October 9, 2015Leave a Comment

Karreuche Tran set the red, excuse us blue carpet on fire last night at the Autism Speaks Gala. The Autism Speaks organization spreads awareness and sponsors research as well as activities aimed at the public, families as well as the government. Autism Speaks has had the privilege of raising millions towards autism research.

Last night, Karreuche was in attendance to show her support along with celebs such as Al Roker and Tran’s bestie Chantal Jeffries. Tran wore a black gown by Solace London to Autism Speaks which was held in Santa Monica, California.

Solace London who has also been worn by Bond Girl Naomie Harris is known for their curve-hugging evening gowns and Karreuche’s Revelation Maxi Dress with strappy low back fit the bill. The dress retails for $163 and unfortunately is completely sold out… go figure (no pun intended). Nevertheless, there are a slew of cheaper options available right now that will still allow you to look as sassy as Tran. Our pick is the ASOS Petite High Neck Strappy Back Maxi Dress that is only $40!

Hair Notes: If you are wearing a sexy little number like Karreuche keep hair simple with messy bed-head hair. You’ll look very chic with a care-free vibe as well as attitude.

And now for our Editor’s Pick of how to get this look!

8 Times Janelle Monae Slayed Monochromatic Fashions

Arianne Suggs October 8, 2015October 8, 2015Leave a Comment

As the famous saying goes, “If it is not broke, why fix it?” Many times when it comes to fashion choices we may find ourselves wondering the same thing. If something is working and making us look like we belong in a magazine cover story then maybe we should just stick to it.

We have noted many celebrities who seem to apply that very thinking to themselves. Case in point, the uber talented and gorgeous Jonelle Monae who can rock monochromatic (black and white) styles like no one’s business. Of course, Monae falls into that category of women that could take paper bags, sow them together into an ensemble and make it look like the hottest trend ever. Then again, that is probably why she is star, right?

Whether she has been performing on stage, attending a show during fashion week or hitting other red carpet events Monae is straight up every stylist’s dream. She has a physique that can basically pull off anything and has the edge to take risks. See what we mean by checking out just 8 of her chic monochromatic outfits.
