Furry Nails Spotted at Libertine F/W 2016

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 19, 2016February 19, 2016Leave a Comment

During a fashion show everything is scrutinized right down to the smallest details. It’s not just about fashion but the overall look. As a model walks the catwalk the cameras can be unforgiving. Therefore, it’s important that designers make a statement and create a show that is unforgettable. Libertine’s Fall/Winter 2016 runway show did not disappoint and had us all like, “Wait was that furry nails?”

Nail addicts feast your eyes on one of the oddest yet daring nail trends for 2016. If you are a fan of MTV’s Teen Wolf you are probably jumping for joy. Your eyes are not failing you, you are in fact seeing Libertine models with furry nails.

Nail designs have evolved quite a bit over the past few years. Bling, chains and illustrative details have been faves. However, for awhile it has been more about nail shape. Who of us can forget the strong pointy long nail trend that had us rethinking the use of tampons? Nevertheless, admit it or not furry nails have a slight fun, majestic feel to them. If you don’t take it as something you would rock daily it could be a cute one night nail look that you simply do for the Gram and Tumblr.

So if you want the furry nails look how do you create them? The co-founder of CND nail polish, Jan Arnold, and the CND team painted model’s nails with Vinylux Weekly Polish in Cream Puff (cute, love the name) and Rubble. Next, faux fur was securely attached to each nail using the Super Shiny High-Gloss Top Coat. Boom! That’s how you get this creative nail look.

Sometimes in the realm of fashion all it takes is one simple addition of an article of clothing to update a look for the better. Our Style Ambassador Carly demonstrates how to do this in one simple step. How did she channel her inner Beyonce and “upgrade” her denim? Carly leveled up her couture look with the help of military designed fashion. She revealed to us,

“Its a very playful outfit! Kept it really simple with my old jeans, but with a touch of military which in turn bought life to the outfit lol! Feels so new.”

It was bring your daughter to work day… Or wait, maybe it was the other way around. Nope, just amazing casting for a new ad campaign for Calvin Klein. Zoe Kravitz and her forever beautiful mother Lisa Bonet are featured in the Calvin Klein 2016 jewelry + watches campaign.

The eye-catching advert captures a lovely mother/daughter moment as the two walk along a beach. Zoe and Lisa are all smiles and are photographed hand in hand. The silver jewelry worn by Kravitz is very modern and neoteric. The CK campaign’s tag line is “Life in the now” and begs the question, what does time mean to you?

The video which accompanies their one page ad shows the pair (Lisa & Zoe) laughing in a gorgeous cinematic way. The video also includes actor Will Peltz and his model girlfriend, Kenya Kinski-Jones along with a plethora of other models living precious Calvin Klein minutes. The entire campaign helps you to appreciate time and how you choose to keep up with it.

Kevin Hart Debuts Nike “Hustle Hart” On Jimmy Fallon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

As much as we enjoy Jimmy Fallon performing with The Roots using musical toy instruments; last night’s Kevin Hart fashion moment was pretty cool as well. Hart showed off his kicks which are part of a collaboration with Nike due to be released later this year. At this point of time an exact date of the sneaker release is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, shoe industry experts are pinning a date for the collection for this coming April.

With the release Hart would become the very first actor/comedian/entertainer to ink a deal with Nike. What name has Kevin chosen to give to his shoes? Hart can definitely say that he ‘started from the bottom’ and hustled his way to stardom. Therefore, Kevin Hart’s trainers have been fittingly named, “Hustle Hart.” So far two colors have been showcased for the Nike Hustle Hart, red and blue.

For a project such as this consumer reaction as well as opinion is key. We took to the gram to get an early indication of what potential buyers may be currently thinking. Here are a few comments we gathered:

“Copping those.”

“Lol we need those.”

“They really aren’t that bad.”

“This gotta be Nike’s response to Ye.”

“These are dope.”

So far it looks like Nike and Kevin are on their way to a really big pay day. Congrats to Kevin Hart we wish you much fashion success and hope that this collaboration inspires others to Hustle Hart… oops we mean hard.

The stars definitely took over Los Angeles, California Tuesday night! As the Marie Claire Image Awards got underway in Beverly Hills, other celebrities made their way to The Biennial UNICEF Ball presented by Louis Vuitton. Invitees included Mariah Carey, David Beckham, Heidi Klum and Selena Gomez.

Louis Vuitton and UNICEF have joined forces in order to spread awareness as well as help children that are in urgent need. Mariah Carey and other celebrities in attendance for the gala were invited to make a promise to join the cause. Carey and friends symbolized their promise to help children in need by being photographed performing a pinky promise.

Speaking of performance Mariah Carey also brought the house down performing her hits such as “We Belong Together.” Carey did it all in style as she turned heads in a plunging V-cut floor-length gown with leather and crystal detailing. A beautiful dress for a beautiful woman who honestly looked like she has stopped aging over 20 years ago.

Nevertheless, want to be apart of the Louis Vuitton/UNICEF movement like Mariah? You can do so by making a donation or by investing in a Louis Vuitton Silver Lockit. You can then share your pledge via Instagram by posting a photo of yourself doing the ‘pinky promise.’ Full details are available here.

It is about time for the creation of the Image Maker Awards! As they say, behind every glamorous Hollywood star is a rockstar team of people. It takes a village to take a celeb from resting face to red carpet queen. With this in mind Marie Claire is honoring the hardworking Image Makers who beat faces, slay fashions, fleek hair and have us living to look like our favorite shining stars.

Last night, Marie Claire embarked upon their first ever Image Maker Awards which was held in swanky Beverly Hills, California at the Chateau Marmont. Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o as well as How to Catch a Murderer actress Aja Naomi King were both in attendance for the festivities. The ladies looked stunningly gorgeous in their bold tinted frocks.

Lupita had a very special duty to carry out during the Marie Claire Image Maker Awards ceremony. She was tapped to present an Image Maker Award to her very own personal stylist, Micaela Erlanger. Nyong’o took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the honor stating,

“After all the times she’s gotten me ready for the awards, it’s Micaela’s turn to receive one! Congratulations.”

Yes, congratulations to all of this year’s honorees at the 2016 Image Maker Awards. May you all continue to love what you do, because you do it oh so well!

Michelle Obama in Narciso Rodriguez For State of the Union

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 12, 2016Leave a Comment

If you ever need to know how to drop the mic when it comes to style all you have to do is channel your inner Flotus! Michelle Obama attended her husband’s final State of the Union Address in an elegant yet boisterous tinted gown by Narciso Rodriguez.

As soon as Michelle Obama made her debut the fashion conscious took to social media discussing the tint of Obama’s ensemble. Some thought apricot but the Sleeveless Banded-Bodice Midi Dress was actually in Marigold. Good guesses though everyone!

Besides looking amazing on televisions across the country, Michelle Obama also put to rest a long held notion that she is not “known for her fashion influence.” Yeah… just let that thought sink in a little.

Nevertheless, the naysayers, haters and cynics were all silenced when news promptly spread that Michelle’s choice of dress had sold completely out! If you had wanted to get your hands on one sorry to tell ya, but some pretty lucky ladies beat us to the checkout cart.
