Shoe Game 2015: Strappy Heels

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 21, 2015July 17, 2015Leave a Comment

As my mother used to always say, the quickest way to ruin a perfectly good outfit is by wearing the wrong pair of shoes. Shoe trends are always on the move but one that seems to make it’s sexy return is the strappy heel. These shoes work great with pants, dresses, skirts, skorts and jumpsuits. With such versatility you can not afford to not have a pair in your wardrobe.

Here are a few celebrity inspired options on how to make strappy heels work for you:

Point of View: Gold Chained Heels

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

I’m really excited about P.O.V. aka Point of View, one of our new video series on the 1966 Magazine Youtube channel! Over the years, I have found myself becoming more and more addicted to heels. I love when you go out and people instantly notice and compliment on the pair of choice for the night. Shoes are all the way down at the bottom of an ensemble so for someone to notice the shoes most truly be making a statement.

With that being said, many will ask me what shoes I’m wearing or even say they are going to go cop themselves a pair. So for all of you who love a good heel as much as you do I hope you enjoy seeing my personal collection. Here is the first video showcasing my gold chain heels, probably one of the heels I wear the most. I love them because you can pair them with jeans, jumpsuits, dresses, the works and everything seems to instantly go up a few style notches. Whether you are aiming for classy or edgy these heels just seem to deliver.

Hope you like the video and don’t forget to like and subscribe! 🙂

Arianne Suggs May 28, 2015May 28, 2015Leave a Comment

She is an accomplished director, filmaker, artist, designer and basically Instagram royalty. Easy on the eyes and the very talented Vashtie has paired up with Puma to create a stylish collection for summer. The collection is inspired by the B-boy and NYC skate subcultures of the 80’s and 90’s. So think bombers, tanks, jerseys and gold detailing. The grittiness and edge of the collection was encapsulated by the shoot which took place around a downtown metro station in Manhattan.

Arianne Suggs May 24, 2015May 24, 2015Leave a Comment

We are loving this hard and soft look for summer 2015! Moreover, if you need a cute ensemble for a BBQ tomorrow, stay on trend by wearing lace. Lace is girly to the max invoking a very angelic, feminine and dainty vibe.

Moreover, gladiator sandals add a little edge while displaying strength and reminding us of the warriors of old. One fashion item that has been infused with the lace touch that should be added to your wardrobe pronto is a romper. Rompers are comfortable, classy and depending on style can be quite foxy.

Fashionable Mention: Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2015 Shoes

Arianne Suggs May 18, 2015May 18, 2015Leave a Comment

Beginning this week on the 1966 Magazine youtube channel (be sure to follow us 😉 you’ll love it) we will be rolling out videos ranging from fashion to travel. Being obsessed with dressing up our two buddies downstairs that we walk on daily, one such video series P.O.V. aka Point of View will showcase some of our favorite heels from our very own closets. Until you get to see those here is a fashionable mention to tie you over!

For their summer collection Saint Laurent is rolling out strong in the shoe scene with platform heels. We constantly rave on here about platforms because unlike other heel styles, platforms are very comfortable. They may be higher than a skyscraper but the fear stops there, you gain the height without out all the pain fright. Saint Laurent freshened up the platform look with 3-D embellishments such as bows, stars, studs as well as prints and saucy color.

Get Your Man Right: Pop of Color

Arianne Suggs April 24, 2015April 24, 2015Leave a Comment

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.
