Olivia Pope… we mean the fabulous Kerry Washington stunned onlookers at the 33rd PaleyFest Los Angeles event held in Hollywood, California. As soon as Washington hit the red carpet it was lights, camera, action from the paparazzi. The gorgeous actress wore a stylish tiered frock.

Kerry’s gown for the PaleyFest Los Angeles affair which included a presentation for Scandal was a hand-knitted Yelets lace dress by Ulyana Sergeeno Couture. The gown is a selection from the spring 2016 collection. Washington finished the look with sandals and a braided updo.

Beauty Notes: Washington’s makeup for the PaleyFest Los Angeles Scandal panel was kept quite natural with emphasis on lightly flushed cheeks and glowing skin. Her nails also received a simplestic chic touch thanks to a neutral tint.

During the panel presentation the cast let their personalities shine and even gave fans what they wanted most… show details! The cast revealed specifics pertaining to the relationship status of Olivia Pope and President Fitz. Sounds pretty juicy if you ask us!

Increase Shine With Egg and Banana Hair Treatment

Arianne Suggs March 17, 2016March 17, 2016Leave a Comment

Got head full of dull, lifeless looking strands? Do not fear a natural egg and banana hair treatment is here! Eggs and bananas are two wonderful foods that are actually great for your hair too. Why are they so effective?

Bananas being rich in potassium can restore elasticity, add strength and minimize breakage. Moreover, bananas can hydrate strands thus keeping dry, flaky scalp issues at bay. Eggs can also cure dandruff and help make hair stronger. This is because strands are composed of seventy percent protein (keratin) just like eggs. Therefore, introducing more protein into the mix can give hair the conditioning it really needs. The protein, fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants found in eggs takes brittle tresses and makes roots as well as follicles stronger.

The Egg and Banana Hair Treatment

Combine one mashed up banana with one egg.
Mix together yet keep the mixture thick.
Apply the egg and banana paste to strands and let it sit for fifteen to thirty minutes.
Wash and condition hair as usual.

Natural Hair: Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Shampoo

Arianne Suggs March 16, 2016March 16, 2016Leave a Comment

Caring for natural hair can be a challenge due to the fact that some “natural” products contain harmful ingredients. Moreover, wearing natural hairstyles often include using a number of styling and conditioning products. All that layering of products can attribute to build up. Clarifying shampoo can help to remove build up from your strands. So then, knowing how to make your own Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Shampoo can go a long way.

Are there any other reasons to use a natural shampoo option? Watch those labels ladies because not all natural hair products are what they seem or claim to be. For instance, a shampoo may include natural plant ingredients but still have sulfates. Sulfates give us those fun suds that make us feel our tresses must be getting clean. Nevertheless, sulfates have the ability to strip hair of needed moisture.

The goal should be to have a product that gets the job done and safely. How can you create your own Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Shampoo at home? It is very simple all you will need is water and organic apple cider vinegar.

Combine one cup of water with 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar. After the cleanse, follow up with your normal conditioner. Your locks will be build up free and looking fabulous!

Rue De Francois Spring 2016 Collection

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 26, 2016February 26, 2016Leave a Comment

When we first laid eyes on the editorial for the Rue De Francois Spring 2016 Collection we were utterly speechless. There are not enough words to describe such beauty, but we shall try. The color palette marries together rich and warm colors that invoke luxury and pure opulence. This is fashion that is fit for a queen.

All pieces are hand made and are very well executed. Skill and love is what we noticed throughout the Rue De Francois Spring 2016 collection. The founder, Lorenzo Walker has been sewing since the tender age of 11. All those years of honing in on his craft have paid off for Walker who recently showed his fashions during NYFW.

Nevertheless, his efforts are paying off in another way as well. We recently discovered that Rue De Francois is the first ever Not for Profit House of Fashion. Lorenzo aims to share his knowledge of fashion and use all charitable donations, given or received, towards the disadvantaged and homeless.

Congratulations to Lorenzo Walker for chasing his dreams and being an advocate for those in need. Moreover, the Rue De Francois Spring 2016 collection is absolutely gorgeous and we can’t wait to see more in the future.

Designer: Rue De Francois

Lensed by: Papa Osei-Bonsu

Model: Aissata

Jewelry: Uniquely Wired M

Maga Moura Rainbow Ombre Braids for London Fashion Week

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 26, 2016February 26, 2016Leave a Comment

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no its simply a really cool girl with really cool hair! Maga Moura made a splash at London Fashion week with her festive rainbow ombre braids. This fashionable blogger from Brazil has become well known for her trademark braided locks. Her personality and style is truly a fresh breathe of voguish air.

Moura came to be a braid-nista after a hair treatment went south. In order to rectify the situation she had two choices: cut off the remainder or wear braids. The latter option was chosen and the rest is hair history.

To fully pull off a hair look as bold and boisterous as this one you have to have the personality to match. Maga Moura’s couture flair is just as awesome as her rainbow ombre braids. Honestly, ladies stalk her IG, her page is one masterpiece after another. Everything reads that she is true to herself and there is nothing more beautiful than that. Moura is even quoted as saying,

“People are scared of showing who they truly are, I’m here to show them that they don’t have to feel that way. Stop hiding you don’t need approval.”

Now that is truly keeping it one hundred. Want to steal her ombre braid hairstyle? Go online and check out Catface which is an online store that sells the ombre tinted hair the Queen Moura has made chic.

Marc Jacobs A/W 16 Seductive Finger Waves

Arianne Suggs February 25, 2016February 25, 2016Leave a Comment

We are still lusting after the alluring hair seen at the Marc Jacobs A/W 16 fashion show. For the their strut down the catwalk model’s strands were fashioned into finger waves. It was enough to make any Flapper livid with jealousy.

The model’s hair were molded into different versions of the same style. Some ladies had ‘traditional’ wavy locks with all tresses up, while others had strands in the back left to hang loosely. We even noticed waves being created on very short natural hair. The common denominator was the sparkly glitter added throughout the hairstyle.

The marriage of vintage and modern clothing was beautiful. Finger waves are definitely a hairstyle that can not be ignored. Yet, the style added an edgy, goth sophistication to the overall look of the designs. All without stealing away the spotlight from the real stars… the couture.

The Marc Jacobs A/W 16 show was hauntingly gorgeous to say the very least. From the chime music to the fur, lace, glittering prints, big bows, feathers, long hand gloves, flowing gowns and metallic detailing our style cup runneth over! From start to finish your eyes never dart away from the runway. Here is the show in its entirety to enjoy:

Streetstyle: Suno Dress Worn By Zendaya Coleman

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 25, 2016February 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Zendaya Coleman has had yet another major week of work. Her CHI Haircare ad campaign was released showcasing just how real her beauty is and then some. CHI Haircare held an event for the release of the campaign that included their stunning spokeswoman. Zendaya was styled to perfection in a design by Suno.

We always love seeing Zendaya in color because we feel bright tints look great with her skin tone. We spotted Zendaya taking her fun look to the streets. The gown displays a very small amount of skin giving it a hint of sass. Coleman completed her ensemble with black boot heels and a leather jacket.

Suno Designer Dress

Zendaya’s use of jewelry was very minimalist. When wearing an outfit that is bold there really is no need overpower the look with unnecessary jewels. Accessories and couture should never compete, only compliment each other.

Hair Notes: Being the front lady of a major hair company it is no surprise that her tresses looked so fabulous! Coleman rocked curls for days with her Suno dress.

Facebook Reactions Ends Awkward Social Moments

Arianne Suggs February 24, 2016February 24, 2016Leave a Comment

Facebook Reactions were released today and it marked the end of awkward social moments experienced on FB. Long gone is the indecision or thought process, “Should I like that?” If you ever felt weirded out liking a post regarding Aunt Edna’s passing or Fluff Fluff going to puppy heaven you can now rest at ease. Facebook Reactions has completely changed the social media game. That is, if you still even possess and use a FB account.

With the rise of Instagram and Snapchat it’s nice to see Facebook try to make interaction on FB more interesting again. Facebook Reactions are animated emojis that can be used instead of a thumbs up. How can you access them? If you’re on a desktop simply hover over the Like button with your pointer and they’ll pop up. However, like 90% of the rest of the world you’re most likely going to be mobile. In this case take that finger of yours and press/hold the Like button until the animations appear.

User reaction to Facebook Reactions has been mostly positive. However, some still felt slightly jilted. Hey Facebook where is the Dislike option?! That would be fun and potentially dangerous, but hey isn’t social media supposed to be a form of entertainment anyway?

Mark Zuckerberg released a statement to explain the move to add the animated emojis. You may feel free to check it out below as well as our other informative post on this site (wink,wink). Zuckerberg said:

“Today is our worldwide launch of Reactions — the new Like button with more ways to express yourself.

Not every moment you want to share is happy. Sometimes you want to share something sad or frustrating. Our community has been asking for a dislike button for years, but not because people want to tell friends they don’t like their posts. People wanted to express empathy and make it comfortable to share a wider range of emotions.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the right way to do this with our team. One of my goals was to make it as simple as pressing and holding the Like button.

The result is Reactions, which allow you to express love, laughter, surprise, sadness or anger.

Love is the most popular reaction so far, which feels about right to me!”

So did you catch what 6 emotions you can display? As a recap they are: Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad and Angry. There you have it. Now go enjoy not being awkward… unless you just enjoy that type of thing.
