Style Ambassador: Fashion Mood

Arianne Suggs September 16, 2015September 16, 2015Leave a Comment

We love us some Carly! Our style ambassador has been busy writing up more of her stylish tips in order to share with all of you. This week’s fashion insight causes us all to pause and think what truly is or should be the motivation behind what we pull from our wardrobes. For Carly it is all about that day’s attitude, she writes:

“I believe how you dress goes with the mood of the day. Therefore, make your everyday life a happy day through personal style. It is important to connect with your wardrobe and the best way to accomplish this is by wearing what you feel looks good on you. If you feel confident when wearing lipstick, a skirt, dress or jeans then go for it! As long as you feel good about yourself you are on the right style road.”

Fabulous tip Carly and we are loving your streetstyle photo as well. Who says that you can’t wear white AFTER Labor Day? Here in the states that used to be a cardinal fashion sin, but my today’s standard is just a lifeless fashion myth. Chic up your look like Carly by wearing white pants with a tailored jacket.

Fashionable Mention: Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Andy Warhol Collection

Arianne Suggs September 16, 2015September 16, 2015Leave a Comment

This collection made its debut earlier in the year and we were curious as to how it would be received. Personally, we thought the collection was in a word… cool. Being lovers of art and fashion it seemed to be a match made in style heaven. Converse coming together with the genius that was Andy Warhol.

Who just was Andy Warhol you ask? Warhol was an American artist who revolutionized what we now call pop art. Andy enjoyed seeing the artistic marriage between pop as well as celebrity culture and 1960’s advertisement.

One shoe from the Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Andy Warhol collection that we still get a kick out of and that is still retailing strong is the Campbell’s Soup rendition. Maybe its because it gives us flashbacks to childhood or that it is simply epic to see a famous painting come to fashion life. It also makes us think of an old dance video…

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

Rihanna could sport Coca Cola bottles on her feet and would still make the fashion world swoon. There is just something about Rihanna’s care-free style that is alluring and irresistible. So far this week Rihanna has rocked a couple looks that made us go, “Must Have That!” If you are a shoe-a-holic like us then from the above and following photos you already know what item we need in our closets.

Just look at those strappy beauties that look prime to bring any guy to his knees! Rihanna’s DSquared2 Spring 2016 Black Strappy Thigh High Sandals is great for showing off nicely toned gams and pairs well with dresses, skirts and rompers. Rihanna was spotted in her thigh high lace up sandals while out on the town enjoying dinner with Travis Scott after his sold out show. She chose to pair hers with a fashionable LBD and simplistic accessories.

Want to get on the same level as Rihanna’s shoe game? Head on over to to the interwebs and get yourself a pair of these:

Jefferey Campbell Advert Suede Wrapped Heel

Retails for $228

For us Californians we are loving this look because the weather is going to hold strong a little longer than other regions. Therefore, this shoe is great even during fall months when its time to spice things up. Here are a few more images of Rihanna working like rent is due in her sassy heels.

Fashionable Mention: Iman in Balmain Pre-Fall 2015

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

Here is a quick fashion nod to Iman who rocks the heck out of Balmain’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection. We had already posted regarding the fabulousity of these particular designs but when you add in the stunning grace of supermodel Iman it just takes things to another level. Moreover, we have said it once and we will continue to iterate that there is no way that this woman is 60!

Iman showcases the gorgeous Balmain creations in the latest issue of L’Officiel Netherlands which is appropriately entitled, “Sweet Sixty.” If we wind up looking that dang good in the coming years than we will know we are truly blessed with good genes like this sassy lady! Iman slays women half her age and does it all with elegance and sophistication. A true role model for any young girls aiming for the brightly lit stars.

The color scheme and tailoring of the Balmain collection is simply bar none. We are loving the return of pleats which was a major hit and trend a few seasons back. Moreover, the use of florals in fall instead of spring is so airy and festive you begin to forget the dreary weather that is quickly approaching us all. Balmain is for the girl who is powerful yet feminine, bold yet oozing with finesse. If that’s you then you need to go ahead and submit to being a member of Oliver Rousteing’s army!

Heels are so beautiful and stylish why in the world would you want to shave them? What is shoe shaving in the first place? The act of shaving down a heel is usually performed in order to help the wearer have a more comfortable experience said shoe. A famous designer of heels is quoted as saying that heels are not supposed to be comfortable.

A few blisters and surgeries decades later may have a girl feeling like comfort should of been apart of the equation. Shaving will bring high heels down to a height that puts less stress on the foot. Are there any things that should be kept in mind when having heels shaved?

The total job should cost around $20 and the shoe repair shop of your choice should not shave more than one inch. Anymore length removed could actually cause more discomfort due to the shoe’s arched design. So then, keep it chic ladies and stay comfy!
