Fashionable Mention: Stance Star Wars Collection

Arianne Suggs December 11, 2015December 11, 2015Leave a Comment

Once in a lifetime a sock comes along with the epicness of the Egyptain pyramids, gravity and world peace rolled all into one. That sock of this generation comes via Stance, the company behind superstar Rihanna’s graphic and furry sock gems (more on that later). Just in time for the holiday season Stance has released their Star Wars box set which includes 12 characters from the world renown films.

As if that wasn’t cool enough each set also comes with one bonus secret character… nerd achievement unlocked! These amazing socks include characters: Luke Skywalksr, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader, C3PO, R2D2, Chewbacca and the Jedi master himself, Yoda.

Besides, socks themselves Stance has put together one stunning website to market them. We had heard through the grapevine that you use ‘the Force’ in order to navigate the site. That was literally all the ammunition we needed to hear in order to develop a strong desire to go check it out (LOL). As soon as you navigate to www.theuncommonforce.com you are asked to tap the screen to begin and that’s when the magic happens. We won’t ruin it for ya, so instead of spoilers we just highly recommend using a smartphone if you want to give it a try. So go have some fun Jedis as well as Siths and don’t forget to pick up a pair of socks in time for the Star Wars film that hits theaters December 18th.

Strengthen Your Locks, 3 Shampoos for Natural Haircare

Arianne Suggs December 8, 2015December 8, 2015Leave a Comment

Whether you wear your hair bone-straight or natural it is essential to invest in a great shampoo. Keeping the scalp as well as your tresses clean and well-moisturized goes a long way in maintaining a healthy head of hair. However, at times finding the right shampoo can be more easily said than done.

Why is finding the right shampoo for natural hair care so difficult? Many women who choose to wear their hair natural turn to “sulfate-free” shampoos to protect strands from harmful ingredients. Nevertheless, some naturals find such options to be just as drying or not as cleansing as those that do contain sulfates. Still, what about women who choose to co-wash their hair? In some cases, those who do experiment with co-washing come to dislike the eventual buildup that may occur. Therefore, it is safe to say a non-drying, hydrating shampoo is a hair treasure.

Well ladies we have done all the digging for you and have found three golden shampoos to add to your natural hair care treasure chest. These products will not only cleanse tresses but leave hair soft, extra-moisturized and manageable. So then, if you are looking to strengthen your locks remember it begins by purchasing the correct shampoo.

Shampoo List:

1. Creme of Nature Argan Oil Moisture & Shine Shampoo

2. Elucence Moisture Benefits Shampoo

3. Kinky Curly Come Clean Natural Moisturizing Shampoo

Pay Your Tuition or Even Rent With a Gucci Bag

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

We are sure by that title instantly you are thinking, come on 1966 that sounds way too good to be true. However, we are here to let you in on a little secret that is allowing women to turn fashion into hard cold cash. How are these fashionistas making an extra buck or two? We will give it to you straight… they have entered the world known as Pawn My Gucci Purse. What in the world does that entail?

Well, handbags made by Gucci have always fetched a nice price namely because the Italian brand is in very high demand. As Instagram models and Tumblr stars grow in popularity so does the desire to have their designer duds. Like editorial models these ladies help influence the trends that all girls want not now, but RIGHT now.

Every picture these dolls take are an easy marketing campaign for the brand or label that gave it to them. Think about how often you have scrolled the comment section seeing various girls asking where they can get a particular fashion item. Product placement is pushing sales which is why social media is becoming a bigger marketing beast.

Therefore, what does all of this mean for gals who have a Gucci purse laying around at home? Well, it is very good news because this means the market is very much in your favor. Pawn shops want what you possess and they want it bad because they know it is an easy sale. They know girls want these designer bags and if they can get their hands on them then it is lights out, cha-ching all the way to the bank.

Throwback: Rihanna Slinging Gucci Soho Leather Disco Bag

Just how much can you receive from pawning off a Gucci handbag? According to statistics, depending on the bag that you have in your possession you can receive anywhere from $50 to upwards of $5,000! Instant money that you can use to pay bills, tuition, rent, airline ticket, go towards your savings (highly recommended by us LOL) or hey a brand new outfit! Whatever is your bag baby (all puns intended) you can make some side money quick by pawning off your purse.

Pajama parties are making a comeback! What better way to spend time talking to your squad about the Mr. Good Looking and how he better pick up the pace before cuffing season ends. The girlfriend PJ soiree is one filled of laughs, tears, chick flicks, specialty food/drinks and of course style! Long gone are the days of throwing on that old oversized shirt left by the ex or given to you by grandma. Remember ladies, those Instagram “woes” photos are going to need a fashionable touch to break 100 likes.

Take a cue from island gal Rihanna who always sets tone and trends associated with good fashion. Rihanna chose to lounge in a Jack Wills Onesie Striped Pajamas ensemble. Super cute, super comfortable and by the looks of the photos highly voguish.

Rihanna Showcases The New PUMA Eskiva

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 26, 2015October 26, 2015Leave a Comment

Looking to take your shoe game to a whole other level? Then, it is time to look to the badgal herself for the pair of sporty sneaks that you are going to want to cop before the holiday rush. Rihanna can be seen flying high in PUMA’s latest release, the PUMA Eskiva.

Now we are only going to warn all the sneaker heads and kicks lovers out there once. If you want to get your hands on these bad boys you better put your bids in now. Remember Rihanna’s Creeper shoes sold out in just three hours! Of course, it is of note that the Eskiva is not a collaboration between Rihanna and the popular brand. Rihanna is a brand ambassador with creative director responsibilities, however, in this case Rihanna is just on modeling duty.

Nevertheless, everything that Rihanna seems to touch seems to sale. Therefore, do not sleep on the Eskivas or you may be watching your friends walking around in them instead.

Personally, we are fans of the Eskiva Hi design because of its more modern feel and look than the average sneaker. However, there is a Mid style for those who are feeling the Eskiva but prefer a more normal shoe height. Check out a few more photos below and be advised that the shoe is available for purchase.
