Spotted: Supermodel Joan Small’s MCM Trisha Bag

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 1, 2018February 1, 2018Leave a Comment

We love a good dose of street style fashion. Plus, add in a supermodel and the dividends are even sweeter! Models in the industry are known for having access to the hottest trends and must-have couture items; thus, aiding in the seasonal trends frenzy. Joan Smalls is already giving a preview of a spring handbag to add to our wardrobes. Check it out, we spotted Supermodel Joan Small’s MCM Trisha Bag!

Spotted: Supermodel Joan Small’s MCM Trisha Bag

Literally, everyone is wearing MCM right now! If you are an “It Girl” this brand will claim you. We have seen the fashion label on the “flawless ” Beyoncé as well as fellow model, Winnie Harlow. Queen Bey rocked the brand’s MCM Berlin Crossbody from their Autumn/Winter 2016 collection. While Miss Harlow sported the Millie Crossbody while being photographed on the streets of London, England.

So what about Joan’s handbag? Smalls hit the town with the MCM Trisha Bag. The bag is from MCM’s Viva Life collection that is apart of the Spring/Summer 2018 line.

Nevertheless, all these stylish ladies are bringing a huge spring 2018 accessories trend to the fore… the small handbag. While oversized can be great for transportating our entire lives around, it’s smaller bags that will rule the day. The great thing is that smaller bags can be toted without feeling loaded down. Thus, making them awesome for traveling, at events or daily errands. So then, go ahead and give the small bags some love this spring season!

Fashionable Mention: Tom Ford Drawstring Trouser

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 31, 2018January 31, 2018Leave a Comment

Ladies, those “time of the month” pants just leveled up! Once a month we all find ourselves reciting a famous line from Mean Girls, “This is all that fits me right now.” Nevertheless, the TF collection for the pre-spring season will change the game. Allow us to fill you in on the hidden fashion treasure known as the Tom Ford Drawstring Trouser.

Fashionable Mention: Tom Ford Drawstring Trouser

He had us at pajama-inspired. Designer Tom Ford who is infamous for his exquisite, high-end designs; has managed to marry comfort with a sleek finish. The Tom Ford Drawstring Trouser has the look and feel of a voguish trouser but is relaxed.

The pants come with an awesome drawstring for an adjustable fit. Plus, hold on to your wigs… POCKETS! Huge, oversized ones at that! So then, not only can you enjoy pants that will not cut you in 1,000 ways; but you can also carry keys, a wallet and lippie around with no issue. Bless you Tom Ford.

Therefore, guess all that’s left is to talk price and the complete TF look featured within this post. As you notice the trousers are pictured with simple basics… jacket and a white tee. These basics are a great addition (including their colors) to your wardrobe. Not only can they be easily mixed and matched with other things. However, since the colors are neutral it will make outfit pairings even more of a cinch.

Drawstring Trouser $890.00
Cotton Crew Neck Short Sleeve Shirt $550.00

Paris Fashion Week: Dior Spring 2018 Runway Show

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 24, 2018January 24, 2018Leave a Comment

Who says fashion isn’t art? The Dior Spring 2018 Runway show presented during Paris Week ingeniously married high end couture with abstract art apart from concrete realities. The result? Decadent designs that catch and tantalize the eyes!

Paris Fashion Week: Dior Spring 2018 Runway Show

Who or what served as the inspiration behind the collection? Designer Maria Grazia Chiuri was inspired by artist Leonor Fini; who was an Argentinian surrealist painter, designer, author, as well as illustrator. Fini was well-known for her depictions of powerful women in which she made during the surrealist period.

Nevertheless, Surrealism wasn’t just about the art, it was a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s and ended roughly around 1966. Those taking part in this particular style of art and literature produced works that to others seemed to be illogical, dreamlike and at times unnerving.

Nonetheless, for the Dior Spring/Summer 2018 Collection Maria Grazia Chiuri fully immersed herself in the surrealist movement; which allowed her to experiment with various techniques in order to sprinkle her designs with illusion as well as surprise. Maria did not want to create just another beautiful collection. She was inspired to push and test boundaries to the point that she herself could describe the spring collection as being “a dream of fashion.”

Paris Fashion Week: Dior Spring 2018 Runway Show – The Stars

Oh the exclusive front row! For their fashion shows, designers enjoy showing off their array of fabulous friends. The Dior Spring 2018 reveal was not any different. Dior’s show space was filled to the brim with fashionistas, supermodels and A-list stars. For instance, model and actress, Willow Smith, was in attendance along with fashion royalty Naomi Campbell and Winnie Harlow.

All three stylish starlets wore their own version of the Dior show’s theme. Like on the catwalk as well as the show’s interior backdrop, black and white trendy couture permeated the scene. We loved Willow’s noire sheer skirt and vest combo. Chic, effortless, minimalist yet attention grabbing.
