To quickly illustrate, Rihanna brought back her famous Creepers shoes. The first time around the popular shoe sold out of minutes. Since then, RiRi fans have begged and pleaded for the shoe design to come back into the fashion picture. Rihanna finally answered the style call and brought back the shoe in three new colors. The result? The kicks sold out in 30 minutes… again.

With that type of influence and power fashion houses and brands continue to line up for the chance to collaborate the chic mogul. With that being said it no wonder that Dior decided to work with Rihanna once again.

Arianne Suggs April 16, 2016April 16, 2016Leave a Comment

Trust us, seven words… Saint Laurent 100 Lou 48mm Retro Sunglasses. Living here in sunny Los Angeles we are as tied to our sunglasses as we are our smartphones, In-N-Out or vegan food. You know whatever one floats your boat. We have our ways and our fashion choices fall in line with them. We wake up to the sun shining in our eyes and even after it sets our attiude reflects a pop song from the 80’s; we “wear our sunglasses at night.” It is a necessary part of life so we Californians pretty much consider ourselves to be Sunglasses-Connoisseurs. Whatever is fresh, modern and trendy we are most likely a credit card swipe away from sliding them over our peepers.

Therefore, what is cool look for this season? Studded fashions have been everywhere so far this year. Jackets, belts and shoe-wear have all received the studded touch. Now the lovely three-dimensional detailing have found their way on yet another chic accessory.

We spotted model, Ajak Deng, wearing a brand new design by YSL aka Saint Laurent in celebration of it finally being the weekend. She posted several pics of herself while relaxing at a spa wearing her designer shades stating, “happy Friyaaaayyyyy.” She wore a pair of studded black sunnies known as Saint Laurent 100 Lou 48mm Retro Sunglasses as previously mentioned. Here are a few more visuals of her eyewear:

The Saint Laurent 100 Lou Retro Sunglasses retail for $495 and can be purchased by going here. If you are not a fan of black tinted glasses, the shades come in a total four colors as follows:

Black/Gold/Smoke
Havana/Gold/Smoke
Ivory/Gold/Smoke
Red/Gold/Smoke

Ajak Deng looked like the epitome of cool in her new shades. Enjoy your weekend and cop yourself a pair so that you can look straight off a catwalk too!

3 Easy Spring Trends Every Girl Can Rock

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

We are living in a time where more and more people want variety and diversity. However, in the fashion realm at times shape, size and even height can dictate which trends will fit a girl’s style for a particular season. Nevertheless, we have noted several trends that transcend style “limitations.” Here are 3 easy spring trends that every girl can rock!

Spring Trends #1– Once You Go White… : White couture is an excellent tint for spring and is versatile. The light and airy tint works for day and nighttime looks. Moreover, it can look causal (slacks/maxi dress) or sexy and sophisticated (jumpsuits/tailored jacket/cut-out dress). Moreover, did we mention that white looks amazing on us melanin girls? So go ahead and give this trend shade a try, you might not want to go back to anything else.

Spring Trends #2– Throw Lots of Shade: Pretend that you are a cast member of Real Housewives of Atlanta and get to throwing some shade! Okay, we are not referring to verbal shade, we mean the shades known better as sunglasses. This season is all about going big or going home when it comes to sunnies. So do not be afraid to opt for a pair of frames that are a little larger than you would normally wear.

Spring Trends #3 Go Nude: We have to stress we are talking about nail color in this sense (LOL). You will love this nail polish tint because it will easily go with your spring and summer fashions seamlessly due to be a neutral color. Moreover, the right nude nail product will look like you went and got a mani. Can you say, “OMG I’m going to save a few bucks?!” Nevertheless, if clashing nail color is a style fear of yours, then take out the guesswork and go grab yourself a pretty nude nail polish.
