Stiff, unappealing style is so 2015. This year festive, inviting print and patterns is the staple of the 2016 wardrobe. Pattern at times can leave some fashionistas feeling a little bit lost.

How can you make spring your most fashionable season yet?

Liven up your look with new prismatic patterns! On-trend and stylish, this runway favorite will have everyone emulating your Spring style.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 4, 2016January 15, 2016Leave a Comment

Sometimes in the realm of fashion all it takes is one simple addition of an article of clothing to update a look for the better. Our Style Ambassador Carly demonstrates how to do this in one simple step. How did she channel her inner Beyonce and “upgrade” her denim? Carly leveled up her couture look with the help of military designed fashion. She revealed to us,

“Its a very playful outfit! Kept it really simple with my old jeans, but with a touch of military which in turn bought life to the outfit lol! Feels so new.”

There you have it gals with the help of a military style vest Carly took her ensemble from old to fresh and new! Instead of throwing away “older” fashions, try modernizing them with trendy pieces to give them new life!

It was bring your daughter to work day… Or wait, maybe it was the other way around. Nope, just amazing casting for a new ad campaign for Calvin Klein. Zoe Kravitz and her forever beautiful mother Lisa Bonet are featured in the Calvin Klein 2016 jewelry + watches campaign.

The eye-catching advert captures a lovely mother/daughter moment as the two walk along a beach. Zoe and Lisa are all smiles and are photographed hand in hand. The silver jewelry worn by Kravitz is very modern and neoteric. The CK campaign’s tag line is “Life in the now” and begs the question, what does time mean to you?

The video which accompanies their one page ad shows the pair (Lisa & Zoe) laughing in a gorgeous cinematic way. The video also includes actor Will Peltz and his model girlfriend, Kenya Kinski-Jones along with a plethora of other models living precious Calvin Klein minutes. The entire campaign helps you to appreciate time and how you choose to keep up with it.

Hair of the Week: Chanel Iman at W Mag “It Girl” Luncheon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

Supermodel Chanel Iman attended W Mag’s “It Girl” Luncheon this week and she certainly looked the part! Iman dazzled in a two-piece Jamie Lee white pearl and lace off the shoulder ensemble. She accessorized her sultry little number with Jewelmer Joaillerie Pearl earrings from the Charleston collection. However, it was more than just her ethereal attire that caught our eye.

To compliment her stylish couture Chanel Iman wore her strands as a true crown of glory. The genius behind Chanel Iman’s gorgeous mane, Peter Anthony Perez, revealed that the hairstyle included a “texture crown braid.” This elegant hair look works great day or night and is a perfect transitional style for the upcoming spring season.

Keep this style from looking stiff by allowing baby strands as well as wisps of hair to flow freely. We love this hairstyle because it is example of effortless glamour that does not overpower the fashion. They simply compliment each other, just as they should.

Kevin Hart Debuts Nike “Hustle Hart” On Jimmy Fallon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

As much as we enjoy Jimmy Fallon performing with The Roots using musical toy instruments; last night’s Kevin Hart fashion moment was pretty cool as well. Hart showed off his kicks which are part of a collaboration with Nike due to be released later this year. At this point of time an exact date of the sneaker release is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, shoe industry experts are pinning a date for the collection for this coming April.

With the release Hart would become the very first actor/comedian/entertainer to ink a deal with Nike. What name has Kevin chosen to give to his shoes? Hart can definitely say that he ‘started from the bottom’ and hustled his way to stardom. Therefore, Kevin Hart’s trainers have been fittingly named, “Hustle Hart.” So far two colors have been showcased for the Nike Hustle Hart, red and blue.

For a project such as this consumer reaction as well as opinion is key. We took to the gram to get an early indication of what potential buyers may be currently thinking. Here are a few comments we gathered:

“Copping those.”

“Lol we need those.”

“They really aren’t that bad.”

“This gotta be Nike’s response to Ye.”

“These are dope.”

So far it looks like Nike and Kevin are on their way to a really big pay day. Congrats to Kevin Hart we wish you much fashion success and hope that this collaboration inspires others to Hustle Hart… oops we mean hard.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

The stars definitely took over Los Angeles, California Tuesday night! As the Marie Claire Image Awards got underway in Beverly Hills, other celebrities made their way to The Biennial UNICEF Ball presented by Louis Vuitton. Invitees included Mariah Carey, David Beckham, Heidi Klum and Selena Gomez.

Louis Vuitton and UNICEF have joined forces in order to spread awareness as well as help children that are in urgent need. Mariah Carey and other celebrities in attendance for the gala were invited to make a promise to join the cause. Carey and friends symbolized their promise to help children in need by being photographed performing a pinky promise.

Speaking of performance Mariah Carey also brought the house down performing her hits such as “We Belong Together.” Carey did it all in style as she turned heads in a plunging V-cut floor-length gown with leather and crystal detailing. A beautiful dress for a beautiful woman who honestly looked like she has stopped aging over 20 years ago.

Nevertheless, want to be apart of the Louis Vuitton/UNICEF movement like Mariah? You can do so by making a donation or by investing in a Louis Vuitton Silver Lockit. You can then share your pledge via Instagram by posting a photo of yourself doing the ‘pinky promise.’ Full details are available here.
