Winter 2014 Accessory Report: The Choker

Arianne Suggs October 22, 2014October 22, 2014Leave a Comment

Looks like things are about to become a “tight” fit. Chokers are making a comeback in a very large way. Long gone are the days of the versions that made it appear that you had a tattoo or were a fifth member of a grunge band. Two runway shows that stuck out to us was Lanvin and Balmain for their inclusion of the accessory.

Balmain took a more exotic approach with chokers that had a tribal, African feel. Lanvin’s metal art deco style was an edgy feast for the eyes. Both shows proved that at any extreme this accessory can be grand, dramatic look.

What type of shoe should you be wearing this season? Buckles are definitely back on the shoe-wear scene as well as radar and were spotted during runway shows ranging from House of Holland to Givenchy. These metal additions were coupled with suede and patent leather textures to add even more allure. Buckles on ankle strap as well as heel boots are a very timeless and sophisticated style option for two of the hardest working members of your physique. Therefore, fashionistas are you ready to buckle up this autumn and winter?

Rapper Wiz Kalifa is a familiar face for the Eleven Paris’ 2014-2015 autumn/winter ad campaign. The brand always manages to insert high levels of cool into their advertisements and Kalifa brought an edgy laid back vibe that was just perfection. Seriously, how many guys can pull off florals? Nevertheless, we are coveting the jackets and after Rihanna wore menswear a couple weeks back its looking better and better. The hip hop star is also joined by supermodel Kate Moss in the campaign.

Besides a stylish winter coat, what you wear underneath is just as important. At some point, you will have to reemerge from the fashion safety of a trench or leather coat and have to reveal yourself. In the way of tops you should invest in a few turtle neck style shirts. They will keep you warm and also look modern as well as sophisticated. Nevertheless, thanks to their simplicity they can be easily paired with a nice pant or skirt.

Furr’d Up

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 17, 2014October 17, 2014Leave a Comment

Stay warm during the upcoming cool-down by incorporating furry details into your couture looks. We’re fans of fur coats, vests, gloves and even hats. These little details make the simplest outfit (i.e. jeans and top) transform into a hot style commodity. You’ll add a certain “je ne sais quoi” to your ensembles that will surely get heads turning and the fashion obsessed talking…in a good way of course!

Style Tip: Winter colors tend to be quite drab and dark, keep your couture more spirited by adding pops of color.

Question: Why Wear Scarves and Gloves in Winter?

Answer: These little fashion jewels are not only stylish but they help protect your skin. Wearing warm clothing during cooler temperatures prevents your skin from chapping and losing moisture.

Call it laid back or even a modern throwback to 50’s and 60’s fashion. Rolling up the bottom of your jeans is a trendy way of adding some flair to your denim. The only difference is nowadays you can rock the look without showing off your socks.

Fashion Tip: Are you quite adventurous when it comes to fashion? Be a little boisterous with your ensemble by wearing a pair of super distressed jeans.

If you ever find yourself having a bad hair day usually a hat is the way to go. Not only can they hide the unruly strands beneath, but can make a strong style statement in the process. We loved the wide brim hats that were seen during the Christain Siriano fashion show for his fall/winter 2014 collection. The models looked sleek, modern and oh so demure! If you do not mind bringing straight drama to your ensemble then this style of hat should definitely be added to this season’s wardrobe.

Manolo Blahnik Shoes Collection For Autumn/Winter 2014

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 10, 2014October 10, 2014Leave a Comment

I will be the first to admit that I am a recovering addict when it comes to wearing couture designed with bows. I love them, rock them and always still want more. However, that is not the only reason this collection made me want to thank the shoe gods. I am also a fan of period piece films, not just for the romantic language usually exchanged between characters, but also for the exquisite and intricate fashions.

Manolo Blahnik’s shoe collection for this season seemed to have been created with ladies of the court in mind. My immediate thought was Marie Antionette would have owned every last pair and quite frankly, I wouldn’t blame her. Each shoe is a work of art, truly a masterpiece. The shoes are embellished with ruffles, baroque prints, satin, pendants, buttons as well as jewelry. The bold use of color also gives these ingenious stilettos a stronger eccentric and uniqueness.

For the autumn/winter collection Chanel designed a bag on wheels that is just as chic as any bag you would tote around town.
