Nicki Minaj is proving to be one elite travel fashion girl! Minaj has been living it up in the lovely Turks and Caicos for the past several days. She has been spotted lounging in one jaw-dropping after another. We didn’t think she could beat her enticing red swimsuit but boy were we wrong!

Versace, Versace, Versace! A new favorite look from Nicki’s Turks and Caicos stint has emerged. We spotted the hip hop mogul wearing a Versace swimsuit accompanied by blue Chanel flip flops and plenty of gold jewelry.

Now these Chanel flip flops are definitely a must-see. They are embellished with gold chains and come complete with the signature Chanel logo. It seems as though Nicki was gifted with these and was more than happy to receive them. On social she stated,

“Thank God you blew it. Thank God I dodged the bullet. I’m so over you. Baby good looking out. Best thing you never had. Thank you for this epic gift.”

We want to be gifted too (LOL)! Nicki is one lucky girl who we wouldn’t mind raping her closet every now and then. Nevertheless, back to the topic at hand. Our favorite piece of Nicki’s travel fashion girl look is the cover up.

Minaj’s chic printed beach cover is by J. Bailey. It’s long and flowing design just screams effortless glamour! Furthermore, it is perfect for when you still want to turn heads yet hide the goods. Way to work it Nicki you definitely killed this one!

Designer shoes at an affordable price point… sign us up please! Designer Christian Siriano recently announced to the world that a New Christian Siriano Payless Shoes Collection Is In The Works. His previous collab with the popular shoe brand was very successful. Furthermore, now it looks like another round of amazingness is headed our way.

Christian Siriano is a fashion designer for the people. He saved the day when actress Leslie Jones needed a dress for her biggest movie premiere and no one else would dress her. Also, during Fashion Week he advocated for plus size models. Siriano believes that curves are the way of the future and the rest of the industry needs to get on board. Christian sent several curvaceous models down the runway for his spring collection show.

Moreover, Christian just seems to understand a real woman’s body. He creates designs that look gorgeous on women of all shapes and sizes. Thus proving he can create for one and all and not just a mannequin.

With such understanding of us ladies it is no wonder he also understands that sometimes designer looks are just not in the budget. The CS x Payless Shoes Collection is coming soon and if you love pink you will be in 7th heaven. Christian hit up SM to say, “To brighten up a rainy day in NYC a little sneak peek of our new pink sequin shoes from our new collection with Payless Shoes.” (Shoes Pictured Above)

Pink makes sense because Siriano has been quite busy working on other pink creations. Recent photos showcase gowns incorporating pale shades of pink to deeper rose tints. Take a look for yourself:

These beautiful couture looks are apart of Christian’s Resort and Spring 2017 collections. Therefore, does this point to a Payless Shoes release occurring in time for spring? Our Spidey senses are feeling like it but we will definitely keep you in the loop!

Traveling can be rough. Yet, that does not mean that a girl does not want to look fabulous doing it. Minaj schooled us with basically an all noire, relaxed look. Black is one of those tints that are universally flattering on everyone and easy to pair. Thus, you will be able to make a complete outfit fast.

Therefore, if you plan to travel then consider a black ensemble. You will look chic without being overly done. Well, unless you just want to display some fashion dramatics.

Fashionable Mention: Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

Arianne Suggs November 26, 2016November 26, 2016Leave a Comment

It did not take long for us to become huge fans of Draya Michele’s brand Beige and Coco. Her collection is very her and has a rich, luxury feel. One piece that is definitely noteworthy is the Beige and Coco Faux Coat.

Fashionable Mention: Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

Our love for the Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat came about for a number of reasons. For one, it is a piece that can instantly be described as “classic.” If you are looking for a way to add a bit of affluence and extravagance to your wardrobe, a fur coat will accomplish that in seconds. For years, fur coats have been associated with opulence and wealthiness. Think old Hollywood and you will instantly get the picture.

Nevertheless, it is usually the price tag associated with fur coats that is enough to make some go never mind. Also, there’s the amount of cruelty that is linked to production as well as the design processes used by many major brands. Draya Michele is taking the high road with these issues when it comes to her fashions. She commented on her signature coat by stating:

“To FUR or not to FUR… we all wonder about a few things when it comes to fUR… principles and price. When deciding to add FUR to my line, I decided to take the humane way out by designing a Faux FUR coat. It’s stylish, warm and affordable! I hope you all love.”

We have to agree that the coat is stylish and an attention grabber. This particular fur coat comes in different shades, a gorgeous noire tint as well as wine. Therefore, go ahead and indulge a little this winter and look like a true diva in a beautiful faux fur coat!

Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign

Arianne September 14, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a Comment

What can we say, this campaign is just sick! The punk style has gone under the fashion knife on several occasions but the true essence of the look remains the same. An aspect of punk couture we have always favored is that some use it to make an awesome statement. From anti-materialism to not being considered stereotypical punk clothing has been a truly cool protest against mainstream culture. With that said, designer Viktor Luna is throwing his hat into the punk mix this season. See his vision by checking out the Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign!

Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign

Plaid, spikes, leather, metallics and fur. What’s not to like? Fashion is a form of self expression and should therefore never be boring. Moreover, Luna’s campaign is the farthest thing from being considered characterless.

Its chic, fun and a nice departure from the usual. Luna’s fine tailoring and construction has always enthralled us and he does not disappoint with this collection. Furthermore, the Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign showcases several eye-catching pieces including a harness.

Yes, you read that correct Viktor designed a Turbo Leather Harness. Instantly, we thought 2036 prosthetics? Very cool work Luna and looking forward to seeing more in the future!

There was so much to love about Vera Wang’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The tailoring was off the charts. The designs read fierce and chic. Nevertheless, one pair of sunnies had us in love at first glance. Today’s obsession, the NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses.

Ugh, could Vera Wang just hand us an oxygen mask because she is giving us life! These glasses just simply stood out. Even coming down the runway your eyes just instantly dart to them.

The magnetic pull to these shades only increased once we noticed they come in multiple tints. The straight up black ones has us craving a leather jacket and cigarette. Hence, they’re edgy as all get out.

Nevertheless, the silver-tone version gave us futuristic vibes but with a retro grunge twist. However, you slice and dice these NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame sunglasses are a must-have. We spent the night hunting them down till we found them on Farfetch! These chic babies retail for $405 and can be shopped now. Oh! First time ordering on Farfetch.com?
