We are excited to feature this young lady who aspires to be a model. Equipped with a style all her own and legs for days we say that Amaadi Claudia is well on her way! Get to know her a tad bit more below.
Name:AMAADI CLAUDIA Describe your style: When it comes to fashion, I love being simple. Favorite thing to wear: Being uncomplicated I boil it down to three things: anything good, sleek and fitting. What do you love most about fashion: I’m very into afro centric, i.e. blending African as well as the Western world’s fashion.
The simplest way to get Bae to add a little more flavor to his wardrobe is by having him add a pop of color to his ensemble. It can be a simple addition that focuses more on his accessories than his main fashion pieces. For example, if he loves his kicks (shoes) or likes wearing hats help him punch those up by opting for more boisterous shades. Notice how these two NBA players are getting down with the pop of color. The added shades are noticeable yet not overbearing so that the whole outfit gets noticed. Make fashion even more fun for your dude by having him incorporate his favorite color or tint into the mix.

Sometimes it is really the little details that can make all the difference in fashion. For their Conscious Spring 2015 Lookbook the good people over at H&M have designed spring couture that includes ruffles, cut-outs, prints and low V-cuts highlighting the bust or well-defined back. The entire collection is modern without having to be an extreme style risk-taker. You’ll look great and chic in these fresh styles.

Bright, bold colors are great to go along with spring’s festive and vibrant vibe. Birds are singing, flowers are blossoming which encourages styles that are airy and relaxed. However, whenever I want to punch things up a bit I stay in the realm of bold shades and opt for red. Red is sassy and fun and looks great on a wide range of skin tones.
I paired my red dress with gold accessories, including a bracelet and snake head heels. Since the color is boisterous tons of accessories are not really necessary. So then, have fun with your fashion and don’t be afraid to add some vibrancy to your look.
Love Always,
Arianne

Michael Costello’s runway show for El Paseo Fashion Week was brimming with so many show-stopping pieces we don’t even know where to begin! We gushed over his all noire designs that consisted of long gowns, jumpsuits and short flirtatious dresses with cut-outs. Backstage Michael shared with us that the collection was inspired by samurai warriors and each ensemble we saw fit the bill because they were fierce, sassy and extremely sexy. You can always tell when even the models are enjoying the fashions, their walk becomes harder, stronger and they simply stomp to the death. Every last model served it like their rent, electric and Iphone bills were due!
Costello’s femme fatale show gave us style shivers also thanks to lovely embellishments that included: fur, low V-cuts, sparkle, pockets, high splits, sheer fabrics and bold silver shades. Michael’s breathtaking show also included menswear, but for more on that be sure to lookout for our exclusive interview with Michael in our April issue!

El Paseo Fashion Week is in full effect and we are flexing our own fashion muscle. So then, how did we decide how to style ourselves for this stylish night out?
Alicia: I love the color red so it was a simple choice to go with a sassy red dress. I accessorized my look with a gold necklace and black/gold heels. I always believe that great fashion should accentuate your best assets.
Arianne: I wanted to go bold without being the loudest lady in the room! You can never go wrong with a nice print, and with stripes being a huge trend for spring, I felt it was the perfect choice for the night. As many women always fear, I dread being caught in the exact same ensemble as someone else. For this reason, knowing that most attendees [women] would opt for a dress or pant suit, I decided to go with shorts.

Carolina Herrera just makes fashion look so easy, breezy with much sophistication. Add emphasis where you want it most with a few simple style tricks. We felt this look by Carolina Herrera is perfect for any woman who wants to show off her assets Are you small chested lady who wants to give a little more attention to the girls? Wear a top with a deep V-cut to draw eyes downward. Are you looking to show off your hips to add more va-va voom to your overall look? Then, wearing horizontal stripes across the hip area will give the illusion of more shape.

DKNY showed off just how fun fashion can be with their runway show highlighting their spring 2015 RTW collection. Boisterous shades, extra large prints and some serious layering added to the chic allure. We loved this out of the box ensemble that proves that layering can look hip, current and very modern.
Fashion Notes: There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing sneakers with a dress of skirt. Fashion doesn’t always have to be so dressy, keep your look causal with flats or athletic kicks.
