Olivia Pope… we mean the fabulous Kerry Washington stunned onlookers at the 33rd PaleyFest Los Angeles event held in Hollywood, California. As soon as Washington hit the red carpet it was lights, camera, action from the paparazzi. The gorgeous actress wore a stylish tiered frock.

Beauty Notes: Washington’s makeup for the PaleyFest Los Angeles Scandal panel was kept quite natural with emphasis on lightly flushed cheeks and glowing skin. Her nails also received a simplestic chic touch thanks to a neutral tint.

It is almost that time of the year! Spring is quickly approaching and so is it’s hottest trends. Jumpsuits are perfect for spring due to the fact that they can be easily adjusted for the weather. Just a coat or cardigan can be added for additional warmth, if necessary.

Jumpsuits are quite comfortable and can be worn during day time or at night. So if you are looking for something versatile this needs to be in your wardrobe. Nevertheless, what was Carly’s inspiration advice for this month? She stated,

“Be your own role model and learn to inspire yourself. Look back at what you did yesterday and learn from it n do it better today. Make it great tomorrow.”

Rue De Francois Spring 2016 Collection

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 26, 2016February 26, 2016Leave a Comment

When we first laid eyes on the editorial for the Rue De Francois Spring 2016 Collection we were utterly speechless. There are not enough words to describe such beauty, but we shall try. The color palette marries together rich and warm colors that invoke luxury and pure opulence. This is fashion that is fit for a queen.

All pieces are hand made and are very well executed. Skill and love is what we noticed throughout the Rue De Francois Spring 2016 collection. The founder, Lorenzo Walker has been sewing since the tender age of 11. All those years of honing in on his craft have paid off for Walker who recently showed his fashions during NYFW.

Nevertheless, his efforts are paying off in another way as well. We recently discovered that Rue De Francois is the first ever Not for Profit House of Fashion. Lorenzo aims to share his knowledge of fashion and use all charitable donations, given or received, towards the disadvantaged and homeless.

Congratulations to Lorenzo Walker for chasing his dreams and being an advocate for those in need. Moreover, the Rue De Francois Spring 2016 collection is absolutely gorgeous and we can’t wait to see more in the future.

Designer: Rue De Francois

Lensed by: Papa Osei-Bonsu

Model: Aissata

Marc Jacobs A/W 16 Seductive Finger Waves

Arianne Suggs February 25, 2016February 25, 2016Leave a Comment

We are still lusting after the alluring hair seen at the Marc Jacobs A/W 16 fashion show. For the their strut down the catwalk model’s strands were fashioned into finger waves. It was enough to make any Flapper livid with jealousy.

The model’s hair were molded into different versions of the same style. Some ladies had ‘traditional’ wavy locks with all tresses up, while others had strands in the back left to hang loosely. We even noticed waves being created on very short natural hair. The common denominator was the sparkly glitter added throughout the hairstyle.

The marriage of vintage and modern clothing was beautiful. Finger waves are definitely a hairstyle that can not be ignored. Yet, the style added an edgy, goth sophistication to the overall look of the designs. All without stealing away the spotlight from the real stars… the couture.

The Marc Jacobs A/W 16 show was hauntingly gorgeous to say the very least. From the chime music to the fur, lace, glittering prints, big bows, feathers, long hand gloves, flowing gowns and metallic detailing our style cup runneth over! From start to finish your eyes never dart away from the runway. Here is the show in its entirety to enjoy:

Streetstyle: Suno Dress Worn By Zendaya Coleman

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 25, 2016February 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Zendaya Coleman has had yet another major week of work. Her CHI Haircare ad campaign was released showcasing just how real her beauty is and then some. CHI Haircare held an event for the release of the campaign that included their stunning spokeswoman. Zendaya was styled to perfection in a design by Suno.

We always love seeing Zendaya in color because we feel bright tints look great with her skin tone. We spotted Zendaya taking her fun look to the streets. The gown displays a very small amount of skin giving it a hint of sass. Coleman completed her ensemble with black boot heels and a leather jacket.

Suno Designer Dress

Zendaya’s use of jewelry was very minimalist. When wearing an outfit that is bold there really is no need overpower the look with unnecessary jewels. Accessories and couture should never compete, only compliment each other.

Hair Notes: Being the front lady of a major hair company it is no surprise that her tresses looked so fabulous! Coleman rocked curls for days with her Suno dress.

Rihanna Shows Fenty x Puma Collection During NYFW

Anyone remember the Puma Creeper? Well, you might if you were able to get your hands on a pair. The Creeper sold out almost instantly and the shoe world is gearing up for another hit from the Fenty x Puma camp. In regards to the Trainer by Fenty, Puma took to Instagram stating that the shoe is,

“Designed to draw attention, push boundaries, and change the game. Designed by [Rihanna]. Introducing the Trainer by Fenty. Available 2.26.”

We always enjoy getting fan reactions to big announcements. We find it is a way to gauge potential success and get some realism on the subject at hand. Here is what people are saying about the Trainer by Fenty ad campaign:

“Talk about setting a trend.”

“Work work work!”

“Ugh why is she so dope.”

“I want these shoes.”

“We want the Creeper ones to be restocked!!”

“I like them they kinda clean.”

“These are better than my Reeboks, that are no longer mine lol.”

So far it sounds like people are feeling them. Fans also took time to send their well wishes to Rihanna since she was unable to perform at the Grammys this year. Yes, get well soon Rihanna and congratulations on the new shoe.

Fashionable Mention: Red and Black Prada Bag

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 17, 2016February 17, 2016Leave a Comment

If you are in the market for a bag or two that will be great transitional pieces during the year you may want to indulge in some Prada. Transitional pieces are fashions that can easily go from season to season without looking dated or failing to match well with newer couture. The color black will always be classic and timeless, while red is always sassy as well as a nice pop of color for various ensembles. Therefore, ladies feast your eyes on the red and black Prada bag.

Prada has always been known for their use of high quality materials. Their 2016 shoulder bags are no exception. The red and black Prada bag was designed using both gaufre nappa and saffiano leather. Saffiano is a texture pressed material that has a cross-hatch finish (diagonal pattern) created by a machine. Saffiano is also made from the highest calf leather and often has a wax finish. This leather was patented by Prada but that hasn’t detered other fashion brands from using it. Tory Burch, Coach and Michael Kors have all included saffiano in their designs.

Gaufre Nappa Leather is a soft to the touch, very thin yet durable leather. The look and feel of this leather is luxurious with a very sought after sophisticated design. If looking like a million bucks is your goal then this bag is what you need.

Laurel DeWitt Crown Worn By Beyonce

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 5, 2016February 5, 2016Leave a Comment

What is an Queen without her crown? Looks like Beyonce doesn’t have to worry about that question. Queen Bey had social media buzzing with the release of Coldplay’s latest single, Hymn For the Weekend. Beyonce is featured on the single as well as in the music video. In the vibrant video Beyonce is adorned by a headpiece by designer Laurel DeWitt.

The Laurel DeWitt brand is known for their enormously creative headwear. All metal apparel and accessory pieces are hand-crafted gems. Beyonce’s stylist Zerina Akers paired the Laurel DeWitt crown with a glamorous design by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. It is a red and gold sequins embroidered gown fit for royalty. Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla gave details regarding the dress stating,

“ALL HAIL THE QUEEN! Beyonce floors us as she kills it in Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. She wears a skin net lotus sequins hand embroidered dress embellished in gold sequins and crystals lined with red. A floor length Exotica Gota coat is worn over it. Hand embroidered in Gota, beads and multicolored Resham and appliqué work, it is an ensemble that screams Goddess at the very top of her game.”

We have to agree with that description. However, the glam did not just stop at the exquisite dress and Laurel DeWitt crown. For the Coldplay video Beyonce also wears a necklace by Erickson Beamon. All in all Beyonce’s fashions set the bar for music videos of 2016.
