Saints by SJ, Black Girls Killing the Fashion Industry

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 16, 2017June 16, 2017Leave a Comment

Naomi Campbell, Iman, Tyra Banks, Beverly Johnson, Donayale Luna, Jasmine Tookes and Jourdan Dunn. All black supermodels who have help push open the door wider in the fashion industry in order to allow for more diversity. Now name twenty black designers. Sadly that is a little harder to do for most and only goes to prove there is still more work to do within the fashion realm. Nevertheless, fashion label Saints by SJ is working hard to change the style game, yet again.

Saints by SJ, Black Girls Killing the Fashion Industry

So then, who is this new fashion brand that is taking the industry by storm? Sisters Natacha and Anise Saint-Juste, make up the fashion design-duo behind SAINTS by S.J. The Haitian born designers know all about honing one’s craft as well as “keeping it in the family.”

Their father was a tailor who passed on his plethora of skills, thus teaching his girls the art of fashion construction. Garnering such experience served these talented ladies well. Apprenticeship under the watchful eye of their father allowed Natacha and Anise to gain the same level of couture aptitude as any student attending a school for fashion design.

This education gave the girls much confidence to take on the beast known as the fashion industry. They recently showcased their Saints by SJ Spring/Summer 2017 collection which oozed of sophistication as well as romanticism. The sisters are a fresh breath of style air that are plowing the road and movement of more black girls making waves in fashion. The diversity tide is certainly turning and thanks to designers such as Saints by SJ it is having one powerful effect!

Miami just got even hotter! Supermodel Jasmine Sanders hit the Gram in order to showcase her sexy date night attire in a chic Eden Sky Black Lace Dress. Oh Terrence J, eat your heart out baby!

Fashionable Mention: Jasmine Sander’s Eden Sky Black Lace Dress

As far as celebrity OOTDs go, this is certainly one of the most sultry looks we have spotted this week. Our favorite Golden Barbie’s cut-out dress is from a boutique called Eden Sky. The store is a west coast fixture that can be found in cities such as Torrance, Los Angeles as well as Bakersfield.

Don’t live near an Eden Sky location? No problem! Word on the fashion street is that an Eden Sky website is coming to the interwebs soon. Therefore, the opportunity to shop Jasmine’s ensemble online as well as other Eden Sky merchandise is definitely in the works.

Nevertheless, speaking of Jasmine, let’s get back to her outfit! How did she accessorize as well as complete her date night look? Well, she started off by including a girl’s best friend… diamonds. Sander’s gorgeous diamond accessories are by Bulgari.

Moreover, her matching black ankle strap heels, are a lovely design by Stuart Weitzman. Ankle strap heels are majorly trending this summer as well as cut-out dresses as seen here on Miss Sanders. Cut-outs are a great way to add even more sass to any gown, skirt or top. So then, go ahead and indulge in these trends to look hot on a date or during any fun girl’s nights.

Amber Rose Reveals Eyebrow Hair Transplant Surgery Secrets!

Arianne Suggs June 14, 2017June 14, 2017Leave a Comment

Amber Rose is getting her major attention right now in lieu of her annual Slutwalk, a cause which aims to end rape as well as victim blaming and slut shaming of any sexual assault victims. Whether people agree with the movement or not, one thing they can agree on is that Rose knows how to get the word out and look bomb doing it. Her physique is thick and lovely, but we have always loved her luminous looking skin and perfectly shaped eyebrows. Fortunately, Amber is spilling her eyebrow hair transplant surgery secrets so that one and all can have amazing brows! She credits the office of Dr. Jason Diamond as being the source of her gorgeous beauty maintenance.

Amber Rose Reveals Eyebrow Hair Transplant Surgery Secrets!

“If you’re like me and suffer from extremely thin eyebrows that just wont’ grow hit up this amazing surgeon Dr. Champagne at Dr. Jason Diamond’s office. I got eyebrow transplant surgery about five months ago and they grew in full and bushy so I can arch them exactly the way I want them to fit my face!

No going under anesthesia! No cutting! I searched far and wide and found the perfect person to do this for me and now I want to share it with you guys. And no this is not an ad I’m just looking out for my guys and girls that share the same problem as me.”

So then, looking for a way to make your eyebrows look less sparse naturally? Eyebrow Hair Transplant Surgery is a great option because as Rose mentioned it is not invasive. Plus, you will not have to look like you are taking crayons to fill in your brows anymore.

The only downside is of course the price. On average the procedure can cost between $5000-$8,000. This would definitely be considered a beauty splurge!

However, as any stylish student knows in high school and college first impressions are everything. Therefore, why not flex your fashion prowess right off the bat with a bag sure to garner some attention? Feast your couture eyes on the Moschino Hollywood Patch Backpack!

Fashionable Mention: Moschino Hollywood Patch Backpack

This backpack truly is every bit of Hollywood. Seriously, just for a moment, humor us and think about Tinseltown. Being the entertainment capital of the world its glitzy, bold, effortlessly cool and with newcomers streaming in everyday screaming, “Hey I’m a rock star!”

So then, for any creative to name their accessory after Hollywood the piece just has to be a showstopper. Enter the Moschino brand with their wild and cool leader, Jeremy Scott. Designer Jeremy Scott is always a genius when it comes to creating pieces that not only get people talking, but have them doing a double take. The Moschino Hollywood Patch Backpack gains plenty of spotlight due to its ‘in your face’ patchwork.

Patchwork always looks edgy because it has a very DIY feel and vibe. It looks very personalized in many cases even if it is not. Furthermore, the patches give the backpack a very “Rebel Without Cause” flair and is perfect for the girl who wants to show off her boisterous side.

Not a patch fan? Well, how do you feel about Spongebob (LOL)? Yep, Mr. Squarepants is back in the Moschino lineup. We spotted the Bob in the Moschino Resort 18 collection. Therefore, whether you are feeling edgy or just childhood nostalgic, Moschino has a backpack to suit your mood.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 6, 2017June 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Can you believe that it is already the 2017 CFDA Awards night? This is one of the fashion industry’s biggest events of the year! Everyone who is anyone makes sure that they come out to play and slay.

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018- And Why You Won’t Get a Ticket

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 2, 2017June 2, 2017Leave a Comment

Ouch! After reading that headline you may be in need of a little ointment due to that burn. However, we are also sure that you can appreciate the honesty. Yes, it’s true about Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018, but getting a ticket will be rougher than The Hunger Games. May the odds be forever in your favor!

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018 – And Why You Won’t Get a Ticket

There are two glaring reasons why getting to see Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018 will be next to impossible. For one, it is a high profile show that everyone and their mama are going to want to attend. That means celebs, their friends, industry, posers, world’s biggest hive as well as music enthusiasts that you will have to compete against. Moreover, Beyonce fans are still trying to scratch that musical itch after Bey had to cancel her headliner performance at this year’s Coachella.

Bey’s absence for 2017’s Coachella music festival was very valid. Her and Jay are extending their family thus making their cutie daughter, Blue Ivy, a big sis to twin siblings. Although, Beyonce had showed great gusto performing while preggers at the Grammys. It was ultimately decided that she would cancel her Coachella performance for her and her babies’ health.

Nevertheless, the cancellation did not mean an end to the whole Beyonce and Coachella situation. For awhile, rumors swirled around that Bey was told she could perform in 2018 if she wanted. Well, it looks like there was some truth to all that tea because Beyonce is performing and tickets are going on sale baby!

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018

You see…that’s the other problem. Pre-sale tickets go on sale today at 11 a.m. Pacific time. So if you’re reading this… it’s too late (LOL sorry we couldn’t resist). Yet, really though if money is tight, payday is next week or you didn’t have enough time to beg the parentals to give you the gift that truly matters. Then you may not be getting into the biggest BeyHive party in the desert.

Nevertheless, you didn’t think we going to be all doom and gloom right? The Coachella advance sale means its payment plan time! If you purchase tickets now you can slowly pay for your Coachella experience over the course of the year.

The official festival payment plan consists of 7 total payments. You pay an initial payment and over the course of six months you pay off the final six. So basically you have from June (this month) till December to get things squared with Coachella. Make sense?

However, if you do choose to go the payment plan route be sure to make each payment on time. If you fail to do so your order will be cancelled and you will be charged a $50 fee. Yikes.

The payment plan is only offered during presale. So if you want in we suggest you act fast. Happy planning Beyonce and music fest lovers!
