2015 Spring Accessories Trend: Plastics

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 20, 2015Leave a Comment

Now we are not talking about the popular girls from the movie Mean Girls (but hey we love em’), this post is about those cute accessories used to adorn your amazing ensembles. Shiny, bright plastic accessories are perfect when you want to infuse some playful fun into your outfit. It’s almost like being Barbie for a day…minus the Corvette, mansion and hot bod boyfriend/hubby (Ken).

Fashion Notes: We spotted this trend during the Moschino fashion show. Do not be afraid to play with color, but keep it to a minimum so that all colors get harmoniously married together.

2015 Spring Men’s Fashion Color Trend: Creams

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 19, 2015Leave a Comment

Staying neutral in fashion is a great way for your man to look like a million bucks. Why should he wear light, airy colored couture from the cream family? Creams convey sophistication, class and charm without stripping away a “manly” vibe from the overall look.

The cream trend was featured during numerous fashion shows including: Salvatore Ferragamo, Marc Jacobs, Bottega Veneta and Versace (pictured above) to name a few. Just look at the stunning man shown coming down the runway, couldn’t you just eat him up? We wouldn’t mind adding a little bit of that cream to our coffees…just saying.

Get Your Man Right: Umit Benan S/S 2015 Collection

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 11, 2015Leave a Comment

For today’s Get Your Man Right we pulled a look from the Umit Benan Spring/Summer 2015 Collection. As you notice it has a clean preppy style to it but is a step up from “Carlton of Fresh Prince of Bel Air” to more of Will Smith’s character’s style thanks to the added color in the sweater, pushed up sleeves and backwards hat. If your boy enjoys dressing in a little more upscale fashion but doesn’t want to lose his cool this is the perfect ensemble for him.

2015 Spring Fashion Trend: Baggy Denim

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 10, 2015Leave a Comment

Hip hop artists for years have worn their denim a little on the big side. It has often been up to major debate as to whether pants should stay up or be acceptable to go a little south. Nevertheless, for their spring 2015 runway show DSQUARED showcased models wearing extra baggy denim. The look was very relaxed and upped the cool chic factor by being coupled with bright colors.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 5, 2015Leave a Comment

Binx Walton is one of six models to be apart of Alexander Wang’s SS 2015 ad campaign. The party bus theme features the ladies oozing with stylish sass and sex appeal. In a season drowning with campaigns casting celebrities Wang holds true to using models to showcase his designs.

Wang says, “These girls, most of whom have been in my campaigns for a couple of seasons now—I think it’s just to show that I really believe in them. I always am a big advocate for models. In this moment, I just really felt that there’s a lot of great new faces, and could do something that really showed this authentic, genuine message of them hanging out, and also their relationship to the brand. And how fun they are.”

Ad Campaigns and Fashion Editorials

Karen Walker Spring/Summer 2015 Ad Campaign

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 5, 2015Leave a Comment

I couldn’t wait to do a write up regarding Karen Walker’s ad campaign for spring/summer because it has two things that I love: sunglasses and cuteness. In a world of super models, where 5’9 and kick butt cheek bones can score some camera time Walker’s campaign deviates from the fashion industry “norm.” For her collection she chose an unlikely yet fitting model who is huge on Instagram. Ladies and gentlemen we present, Toast, the adorable pooch showcasing Karen’s latest looks.

Toast models five different sunglasses in high fashion glam style with full wind effects and perfect lighting. The campaign was shot by photographer Tom Schirmacher who captured Walker’s vision perfectly. Regarding the campaign and her choice to cast Toast Karen said, “We were after a model for this campaign who could fit with our caramel-y color palette and also someone whose hair would work with our three wind machines hitting her from every angle to create a slightly ’70s vibe. Toast ticked every one of those boxes.”

What to Wear Spring 2015: Moroccan Flava

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015January 30, 2015Leave a Comment

As the saying goes, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Avoid any fashion disaster moments this spring and prep those closets with the right couture. We loved the Nicholas K Spring 2015 Ready-To-Wear collection that’s inspiration was road tripping through Morocco. We were sold with the cargo pants (so comfortable) and gorgeous shawls but then the collection upped the ante with silk tops, side tied skirts (the 90s are back baby) as well as super cute knee length shorts.
