Get Your Feet Ready for Sandal Season

Alicia Suggs May 12, 2014May 12, 2014Leave a Comment

Summer is right around the corner and now is the time to get your feet in sandal wearing condition. If you want to put on a pair of some cute, strappy sandals and prance around on the beach then we have one word for you. Exfoliate. Exfoliating is not just for your face, your feet need love too. The dead skin cells on your feet need to be sloughed off and replaced with skin that is radiant and fresh. To exfoliate your feet try mixing equal parts of sugar and olive oil and massage it into your feet. Then rinse with warm water and finish up with a good moisturizing cream. Now you’re ready to start prancing on that beach.

A Thick Sole Can Go a Long Way

Alicia Suggs May 12, 2014May 12, 2014Leave a Comment

High heeled shoes rock; they are sexy, stylish and make us feel glamorous. That is until we take them off the shelf and put them on our feet. Stilettos are great and look absolutely fabulous but if you want to save yourself some pain, consider high heels that are chunkier. They will support your feet much better than a stiletto and a thicker sole, like a platform shoe, will always provide more comfort than a thin sole. Thin soled shoes tend to inflict pain on the bottom of your foot so go for shoes with thick soles and rubber bottoms to help offset and absorb the pressure. Your feet will thank you!

The movie premiere for the upcoming biopic, Belle was held in NYC at The Paris Theater. The lead actress in the film, Gugu Mbatha-Raw looked ravishing in a chartreuse green gown by Lavin. We also loved Gugu’s accessories which included lush gold jewelry as well as caged sandals and a dazzling clutch. Be sure to catch this lovely starlet on the silver screen as this Fox Searchlight Pictures film opens to select theaters this Friday.

We all have that one friend who will always be our little partner in crime. That person who is down for whatever, fun, adventurous and just makes the world go round. H&M has taken a stab at capturing the essence of the BFF philosophy and came out with the big “W.”

As we were looking at the campaign we couldn’t help but be reminded of countless sleepovers, crush talk and the swapping of clothes with our close gal pals for a fun night out. The H&M fashions are great, styling is fresh and overall feel of the ad comes off as let’s just enjoy being young and have a good time. We dig the message and will be purchasing H&M couture to strut in as we make new memories with our Best Friends Forever.

Fun Fashion: Sophia Webster Spring 2014

Alicia SuggsUpdated on March 26, 2014March 26, 2014Leave a Comment

Aw spring… birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, bees are fluttering about and the sun seems to dance across the sky. No designer got into the spirit of the season more than Sophia Webster for her spring 2014 collection.

Models participating in the show wore hairstyles inspired by insect antennas, yet the amusement didn’t stop there. Models also toted bags that read, “High Flyer” and “You Buggin.” Their nails were painted with iridescent and pastel tints in order to keep with the theme.

We are always thrilled when designers infuse youthful vigor and festivity into their fashions. Therefore, this spring season when you’re getting ready for your day just have fun with it!

Spring 2014 Fringe Trend

Alicia Suggs March 10, 2014March 10, 2014Leave a Comment

From Philip Lim to Chanel the fringe trend took the spring 2014 fashion shows by storm. Dresses, sweaters, skirts and even accessories took center stage adorned with the edgy tassel effect. Now don’t be afraid to give this look a try for fear of looking like a cowgirl coming from out west. This year’s version lends more to an 80’s chic or rocker/punk vibe. If you would like to attempt this trend in a more subtle form then accessories are the way to go. We spotted numerous gorgeous fringed handbags such as this noire purse by Gucci.
