Fashionable Mention: Carolina Herrera

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

Carolina Herrera just makes fashion look so easy, breezy with much sophistication. Add emphasis where you want it most with a few simple style tricks. We felt this look by Carolina Herrera is perfect for any woman who wants to show off her assets Are you small chested lady who wants to give a little more attention to the girls? Wear a top with a deep V-cut to draw eyes downward. Are you looking to show off your hips to add more va-va voom to your overall look? Then, wearing horizontal stripes across the hip area will give the illusion of more shape.

Pop of Color Sunglasses

Make a statement without any extra style fuss by incorporating a pop of color into your fashions. We personally enjoy doing this with a pair of shades since we hail from the state where the sun always shines and it rarely rains. Nevertheless, regardless where you live sunglasses can add an instant flair of glamour to any look that you are working.

The fashionista shown above showcased her style prowess with a pair of ruby red glasses. A clean look that still packs a serious couture punch.

How to Wear Stripes With Hips

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

Having a vixen physique, you know the 36-24-36 types hip hop artists and rock stars have been crooning about for decades will never be a bad thing. Nevertheless, being shaped like Jessica Rabbit can be a challenge when wearing certain styles. Most of us do not want to look bigger than our natural size, so then how can stripes be rocked without adding girth to the hip area?

The key is which way the stripes are flowing on the garment, skirt or dress. Look slimmer by wearing pieces that have diagonal or vertical stripes. Instead of seeing lines that emphasis the widest part of your body, stripes that do not run horizontally will create an elongating effect.

Fashionable Mention: Alexander McQueen RTW Spring 2015

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 2, 2015Leave a Comment

We like it, we love it and we definitely want more of it! This heel by Alexander McQueen has a lot going on but it all flows together quite nicely. There are cutouts, string lace ups, cute petal detailing (so perfect for spring) and oh yeah missing the back of the heel! Well not quite, it is there just not in the traditional way. Instead of a vertical heel it has been replaced with a curved version that is found only at the base.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 2, 2015Leave a Comment

The right accessory can add so much value and beauty to your couture look. We were excited to see Swarovski’s 2015 spring/summer collection which inspiration was drawn from a dreamy, modern garden. Nathalie Colins who is the collection’s Creative Director mentioned:

“The Crystal Garden collection reaffirms the brand’s passion for modernity, which is why we have turned to flora, fauna, and insects for inspiration to create fluid and feminine lines and motifs.”

The entire collection color palette flows from springtime pastels to warmer summer tints. Moreover, playing off the nature theme the jewelry accessories’ stones were cut as to resemble petals and leaves. We fell in love with the Celeste Cuff (pictured above) due to its elegant as well as intricate design.
