Obsession: The Nudes Collection by Louboutin

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

The word “obsessed” only somewhat describes the feeling that we have towards the newest additions to The Nudes Collection by Louboutin. A designer brand has at last recognized the fact that nude is not one-dimensional. It is fashion color staple that should come in a variety shades to fit the numerous tones of women from around the world.

The Nudes Collection by Louboutin is paving the way for more diversity in shoe wear. The ground-breaking collection is almost like looking at art. Whether you focus on one particular detail or the overall picture it is just simply beautiful. No woman is left behind or out of the picture. Regarding the collection Louboutin mentioned,

“A nude for every woman. This spring, two new hues join our Nudes collection to create a spectrum of seven suited to any skin tone, from porcelain to deep chocolate… Constructed from soft, flexible matte nappa leather, our new nudes mimic the feeling of skin, allowing the shoe to nearly disappear on the leg.”

The Nudes Collection by Louboutin is amazing but brings to mind a few questions. What designs are apart of the luxury line and how much will it cost to own a pair or two? The collection is compiled of flats, pumps and stilettos. Allowing you to have the freedom and range to cover causal as well as formal attire. The collection ranges in price with flats being toward the lower end of the collection’s price point. Retail prices start at $595 going as high as $875 for various styles. The shoes are definitely splurge worthy and it always a pleasure to see all gorgeous tones being appreciated and catered to equally.

Let it spring, let it spring, let it spring! Are you enjoying the season? It is the time of year to try out new trends and new looks that may not require a heavy coat. As things continue to dry and blossom some handy styles are coming to the fore. One cool look we are currently obsessing over is an all-white garment that has all the detailing a fashionista could want, the Jardin Lace Jumpsuit by Line and Dot!

White tinted fashions are like LBDs, you need at least one in your wardrobe. Moreover, do you like fashion that is easy to style? The jumpsuit is a chic piece that can be dressed up or down. Go causal with flats or go nighttime glam with a pair of heels. Add a matching bag and you are all set to walk right out your door.

We are currently adoring the white jumpsuit we spotted on model and blogger, Natasha Ndlouv. Natasha wore the Jardin Lace Jumpsuit by couture brand, Line and Dot. The Jardin Lace Jumpsuit is a total spring dream. Even though it is long-sleeved with full length pants it incorporates a few sassy elements. Geometrical cut-outs in a zig-zag pattern adorn the top portion of the jumpsuit and the flair does not just stop there. The Line and Dot jumpsuit also has a deep V-cut design on the backside that ties together thanks to thin twisted ropes with tassles.

Like a backless dress the Jardin Lace Jumpsuit includes a nice little reveal. A view to allow a friendly passersby or secret crush of yours to enjoy. All in all this is a look that can do no wrong.

Michael Kors Spring 2016 Endless Sundays Campaign

Arianne Suggs April 11, 2016April 11, 2016Leave a Comment

Designer Michael Kors is putting the Californian gal back on the fashion map! For this spring season his couture is all about “Cali Cool.” To showcase his Michael Kors Spring 2016 chic garments he enlisted the talents of stunning model Malaika Firth. Firth along with supermodel, Lily Aldridge, star in the Michael Kors Spring 2016 Endless Sundays ad campaign.

Los Angeles style is not as glitzy as New York, demure as Paris or sassy as Miami. Nevertheless, it is all about being effortless and relaxed. We have no real seasons out here and the weather usually includes plenty of sun. Your laid back Sunday attire could very well be our daily uniform. However, it still takes fashion intuition to look like you didn’t do much to look amazing. California fashion is truly the epitome of the expression, “I woke up like this.” Maybe that’s why our style vibe is just so cool.

So how do Californian girls dress for spring and summer? The Michael Kors Spring 2016 collection perfectly captures the Californian spirit. White couture dominates the campaign’s color palette. Moreover, we love our dresses, skirts, sandals and shades out here. Those pieces ensure that we can keep the sun out of our eyes, enjoy the beach sand and comfortably deal with the heat as well as calm breeze. The Michael Kors Spring 2016 collection incorporates all the above plus other stylish items.

In the accessory department we are loving the MK weaved handbag. It just screams spring and summer. We can’t wait to tote our iPhones, lip gloss and large framed sunnies in one. Check out the Michael Kors Spring 2016 Endless Sundays editorial and don’t forget to come visit us out here on the west coast. You already know how dress for it (wink, wink).

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.

Our Style Ambassador Carly shows us the ropes on how to make jumpsuits chic for spring. Carly says,

“And about what I am wearing… it is plain yet simple. Mainly my ensemble includes just a printed jumpsuit. I love jumpsuits because they are very freeing, I can move in them more like if it was a dress. So comfortable because the material is light.”

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

Pantone’s 2016 Colors Of The Year

Arianne Suggs December 5, 2015December 5, 2015Leave a Comment

No ladies, your eyes did not fail you as you perused the title of this post. History has been made when it comes to next year’s selection of shades to envy and place on trend. As any beauty maven or fashionista knows normally one shade is chosen but next year two shall reign supreme.

Therefore, what are the two tints that we need to go out and grab? Pantone has selected Serenity which is a pretty, ethereal light blue as well as Rose Quartz which is a delicate light pink. We foresee both colors being a major hit during spring when fresh color is often much appreciated and considered en vogue.

Here is a closer look at the two shades courtesy of Pantone:

The color of palette of the two tints are extremely complimentary of each other. Nevertheless, here is why the pair of colors were chosen out of the entire spectrum:

Although not outrageously bold both colors can still take a style up a few notches. These colors work for day or night and can be versatile for dressing up or down. With such ease ensembles for 2016 will be a cinch.

Rose Quartz

Serenity
