CHI Haircare Real Is Beautiful Campaign With Zendaya

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 24, 2016February 24, 2016Leave a Comment

Chi Haircare has just released a new ad campaign featuring one our faves Zendaya Coleman! The campaign aims to help girls to embrace their real individual beauty. As part of the #RealIsBeautiful campaign Zendaya shares her style and beauty tips. Zendaya makes a wonderful spokeswoman for the CHI Haircare brand since she does always keep it 100.

Just how real does Zendaya keep it? Well, in the past she stood up to remarks made in regards to her wearing dreads at a red carpet event. The result? Recanting of statements made and Zendaya heralded in the form of a Barbie doll, dreads and all. Coleman’s outspokenness to be comfortable and confident in your own skin has resonated with young girls the world over.

CHI Haircare is added fuel to the inspiration fire by supporting realism. The brand’s Gram profile even mentions that they just don’t want your hair to look beautiful, they want you to feel beautiful too. What a nice thought!

We are huge fans of CHI Haircare products and own several of their flat irons and hair protectant products. Moreover, we are happy to see this partnership between Zendaya and CHI and can’t wait to see what’s all in store. Check out the campaign girls, the photos are stunning!

She further accessorized her ensemble with a clutch by Emm Kuo.

Keke Palmer Wears Galia Lahav at ABFF Awards

Arianne Suggs February 22, 2016February 22, 2016Leave a Comment

We spotted actress Keke Palmer walking the red carpet at the ABFF Awards celebrating black excellence in film. For the event she wore a gown by Galia Lahav. We thought she looked confident and gorgeous plus the color went nicely with her skin tone.

Cut-outs and high splits continue to dominate fashion trends. The Galia Lahav dress worn by Palmer included both details. Keke showed off her curves in the daring gown and you could tell she felt like a million bucks. In regards to her dress Palmer said,

“I still can not get over the beautiful dress I got the pleasure of rocking last night! All thanks to [ Galia Lahav ] and of course my amazing glam squad! Just the way you manage to keep me GLAM but still TRUE TO ME. As a kid people would always put me in “fancy” stuff but I would never be able to partake in the decision making. I felt like I represented the clothes but they weren’t representing ME! Which is what it is about, your style should be an expression OF you. It feels good to be in the driver seat with an amazing team that believes in what I’m doing. #FeelingLikeTheQueenOfZumunda #ComingToAmerica.”

We always love Keke’s sense of humor and realism. Moreover, she is an excellent model and example of what style is all about. Fashion is an expression of your own personality and amazing traits. So then, be like Keke Palmer and always stay true to yourself because that is the greatest fashion trend ever.

Beauty Notes: We got a beauty kick out of the pop of color in Keke’s choice of nail color. When wearing head-to-toe color don’t be afraid to match a complimentary tint to your ensemble. Doing so with a add a subtle hint of drama.

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.

Anyone remember the Puma Creeper? Well, you might if you were able to get your hands on a pair. The Creeper sold out almost instantly and the shoe world is gearing up for another hit from the Fenty x Puma camp. In regards to the Trainer by Fenty, Puma took to Instagram stating that the shoe is,

“Designed to draw attention, push boundaries, and change the game. Designed by [Rihanna]. Introducing the Trainer by Fenty. Available 2.26.”

We always enjoy getting fan reactions to big announcements. We find it is a way to gauge potential success and get some realism on the subject at hand. Here is what people are saying about the Trainer by Fenty ad campaign:

“Talk about setting a trend.”

“Work work work!”

“Ugh why is she so dope.”

“I want these shoes.”

“We want the Creeper ones to be restocked!!”

“I like them they kinda clean.”

“These are better than my Reeboks, that are no longer mine lol.”

So far it sounds like people are feeling them. Fans also took time to send their well wishes to Rihanna since she was unable to perform at the Grammys this year. Yes, get well soon Rihanna and congratulations on the new shoe.

Brittanie Evans-Our Black Hair Color Crush

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 18, 2016February 18, 2016Leave a Comment

We have loved Brittanie Evans whether she is drawing a masterpiece or showing how she transforms into Black Barbie. One of her latest fun hair color looks involves two very bold tints, orange and pink. Normally, we would never think that orange and pink hair could look fabulous together. However, Brittanie Evans has made us believers and she even revealed how she achieved this bold hairstyle! Brittanie explained,

“I’m wearing 4 bundles of The Vanity Box brazilian wavy extensions cut into a bob. This hairstyle only took a few hours to achieve. I used two boxes of SPLAT platinum blonde to lift the color (The Vanity Box hair colors very well). Then [I] went over it with a pink and orange semi-permanent hair dye from ADORE. The hair was curled with my PYT Hair Bombshell curling wand. Voila!”

What a total doll! Plus, she definitely knows how to dye some hair. Therefore, if you are looking for some inspiration to add some splash to your strands Brittanie Evans multi-colored bob is a good choice.

Beauty Notes: Besides amazing hair Brittanie Evans is also known for her beautiful makeup looks. Here is what she used to create this one:

Skin– Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation, Anastasia of Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit in Medium and Anastasia of Beverly Hills Powder Contour Kit in Medium to Tan.
Eyes– House of Lashes Femme Fatale and Noir Fairy Lashes stacked together.
Lips– Kylie Jenner Posie Matte Lipstick.
Glow– Gerard Cosmetics Marilyn Highlighter.
Brows– Anastasia of Beverly Hills Brow Definer in Chocolate.

Fashionable Mention: Red and Black Prada Bag

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 17, 2016February 17, 2016Leave a Comment

If you are in the market for a bag or two that will be great transitional pieces during the year you may want to indulge in some Prada. Transitional pieces are fashions that can easily go from season to season without looking dated or failing to match well with newer couture. The color black will always be classic and timeless, while red is always sassy as well as a nice pop of color for various ensembles. Therefore, ladies feast your eyes on the red and black Prada bag.

Prada has always been known for their use of high quality materials. Their 2016 shoulder bags are no exception. The red and black Prada bag was designed using both gaufre nappa and saffiano leather. Saffiano is a texture pressed material that has a cross-hatch finish (diagonal pattern) created by a machine. Saffiano is also made from the highest calf leather and often has a wax finish. This leather was patented by Prada but that hasn’t detered other fashion brands from using it. Tory Burch, Coach and Michael Kors have all included saffiano in their designs.

Gaufre Nappa Leather is a soft to the touch, very thin yet durable leather. The look and feel of this leather is luxurious with a very sought after sophisticated design. If looking like a million bucks is your goal then this bag is what you need.

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

The 2016 Grammys saw many hair trends come to the fore, one of our favorites was worn by songstress, Ciara. Ciara walked the red carpet with her handsome BF, Russell Wilson, in a daring gown by Alexandre Vauthier. To accompany her 2016 Grammys look, Ciara kept her hair simple with a low ponytail.

Some gals tend to shy away from wearing a ponytail because they feel that the hairstyle can be a little dull at times. Nevertheless, Ciara’s take on the low ponytail shows that drama can be created by adding just a few touches.

Ciara and Russell Wilson Attend 2016 Grammys

What touches can you add to your hair that will be Ciara inspired? Try these!

Highlights- Hair color instantly adds dimension.
Wisp It Good– Allow a few face framing strands to flow effortlessly near the hair line. Will give off sexy, relaxed, yet sophisticated vibes.
Back Up– The back is important as the front, so have fun with the tail by adding braids or twist detailing.
Go Big– Forget a small part, be dramatic like Ciara by including a deep middle part for extra flair.
