Accessories Report: Giambattista Valli Fall/Winter 2015 Oversized Shades

Arianne Suggs August 12, 2015August 12, 2015Leave a Comment

Just in case you missed some of our Fashion Week posts earlier in the year we will be recapping a few things over the course of the next few weeks to get you in diva form for the upcoming seasons. Do you love accessories as much as bees love their honey? Girl so do we and we loved what we spotted coming down the catwalk during the fall/winter Giambattista Valli 2015-2016 runway show.

The stunner shades models wore gave a brand new meaning to the expression, “Go big or go home.” Models were adorned with sunglasses that seemed to take up 70% of their faces. We didn’t mind the ginormous size because some of the fashions modeled had a floral theme. So then, to us it was like the bumble bee meeting up with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Festival season fashion is spilling on over into summer with the help of crop tops and denim. The look is quite streamlined but due to the revealing of skin adds much appeal! If you still feel that you want to take your look up a notch try turning to accessories to add a little more punch. As shown a great hat, sunglasses or bold shoe choice can instantly provide more flair.

Get Your Man Right: Summer 2015 Shades and Hats

Arianne Suggs May 13, 2015May 13, 2015Leave a Comment

The heat is about to be on but we are sure your bae is going to want to stay looking cool at all costs. Accessories play a major part in keeping his style modern and as fresh as his line-up. Not all men are into necklaces or wrist bands, but a fashionable hat or shades could be a happy compromise.

Shades and hats are able to protect his eyes as well as skin from the sun and being the great woman in his life that you are, you can rest easy knowing your boo is well protected. Besides being protective such accessories really help pull a summer look together. Even the most relaxed styles receive an extra shot of charisma and flair. Don’t believe us? Just think of Tom Cruise in Top Gun or Will Smith pimping towards the President after defeating a nation of aliens in a pair of sunglasses. Or would MJ have been as much as a Smooth Criminal without his fedora? Probably, but still the proof is in the pudding, accessories easily enhance any ensemble.

Pop of Color Sunglasses

Arianne Suggs March 16, 2015March 16, 2015Leave a Comment

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.

Laura Biagiotti Vintage Angled Cat Eye Frame Sunglasses $143.28

Balenciaga Women’s Round Translucent Red Sunglasses $89.99

Kate Spade New York Ursula Glitter Cat-Eye Sunglasses in Red $165

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.”
