Candice Held Shows at El Paseo Fashion Week

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 23, 2015March 23, 2015Leave a Comment

Designer Candice Held proved that all a woman really needs is the right dress.

Her collection included beautiful prints and gowns of various lengths that accentuated the model’s shapes effortlessly. The collection would be excellent for summer holidays or jet-setting around the world thanks to their resort-like feel. It is oh, so easy to literally envision ourselves in these fabulous designs while in the Caribbean or on a Hawaiian escapade.

We studied the looks and fell in love with the bow ties that held the gowns together in the back. Little details such as these made the collection a true delight to engage ones stylish senses.

Editor’s Diary: El Paseo Fashion Week 2015

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 22, 2015March 22, 2015Leave a Comment

El Paseo Fashion Week is in full effect and we are flexing our own fashion muscle. So then, how did we decide how to style ourselves for this stylish night out?

Alicia: I love the color red so it was a simple choice to go with a sassy red dress. I accessorized my look with a gold necklace and black/gold heels. I always believe that great fashion should accentuate your best assets.

Arianne: I wanted to go bold without being the loudest lady in the room! You can never go wrong with a nice print, and with stripes being a huge trend for spring, I felt it was the perfect choice for the night. As many women always fear, I dread being caught in the exact same ensemble as someone else. For this reason, knowing that most attendees [women] would opt for a dress or pant suit, I decided to go with shorts.

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.

DKNY: Spring 2015 RTW

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

DKNY showed off just how fun fashion can be with their runway show highlighting their spring 2015 RTW collection. Boisterous shades, extra large prints and some serious layering added to the chic allure. We loved this out of the box ensemble that proves that layering can look hip, current and very modern.

Fashion Notes: There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing sneakers with a dress of skirt. Fashion doesn’t always have to be so dressy, keep your look causal with flats or athletic kicks.

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.

2015 Spring/Summer Menswear Trend: Stripes

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 4, 2015March 4, 2015Leave a Comment

It’s official…stripes are the way to go this upcoming spring and summer. We spotted this trend numerous times in the form of jackets, pants, tops and hoodies. The great thing about stripes is that it can fit a wide range of tastes and preferences. If your guy is shy with his couture a nice tailored striped jacket or shirt is perfect to add some flair to his ensemble. Nevertheless, if he is boisterous with his fashion choices he can up the ante with bold colors and exaggerated fits.

This trend is not just for the boys…it looks just as stylish on us girls as well.
