Arianne Suggs November 5, 2015November 5, 2015Leave a Comment

Let us not forget boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen that today marks a fashion moment that shall definitely go down in history as being one of the best couture pairings ever. For months on our style calendars we have waited out for time to pass so that November 5th would finally be upon us at long last. Why is today so awesome when it comes to being “en vogue?”

The Balmain X H&M collaboration is finally available to the masses for purchase. One item that we definitely want to cop ASAP before stores run out is the Balmain X H&M Cotton and Leather Shoe With Metal Detailing. These heels which retails for $199 are right on trend for the season and will give your various ensembles the perfect chic boost. Just scroll through this post to see all of the different outfits that were paired with these beauties.

Caged style heels are huge right now so if you want to look like a bag of money you will want to indulge in this look. Balmain has been a brand that has been just out of reach for many ladies due to its price point. However, retailers such as H&M understand that the French label’s appeal is a major sale waiting to happen thanks to its cool factor made evident by supermodels, bloggers, celebrities, social media models and the like.

Besides stunning shoes, you will be able to get your fashion hands on Balmain’s infamous sequined dresses, beaded coats and jackets as well as gold and black tops. Nonetheless, our final thoughts on word on the caged heels is that it is a very versatile design. This means you can wear them with dresses, pants, jumpsuits and skirts which will go a long way in getting your money’s worth.

However, we are here to let you in on a little secret that is allowing women to turn fashion into hard cold cash. How are these fashionistas making an extra buck or two? We will give it to you straight… they have entered the world known as Pawn My Gucci Purse. What in the world does that entail?

Well, handbags made by Gucci have always fetched a nice price namely because the Italian brand is in very high demand. As Instagram models and Tumblr stars grow in popularity so does the desire to have their designer duds. Like editorial models these ladies help influence the trends that all girls want not now, but RIGHT now.

Every picture these dolls take are an easy marketing campaign for the brand or label that gave it to them. Think about how often you have scrolled the comment section seeing various girls asking where they can get a particular fashion item. Product placement is pushing sales which is why social media is becoming a bigger marketing beast.

Therefore, what does all of this mean for gals who have a Gucci purse laying around at home? Well, it is very good news because this means the market is very much in your favor. Pawn shops want what you possess and they want it bad because they know it is an easy sale. They know girls want these designer bags and if they can get their hands on them then it is lights out, cha-ching all the way to the bank.

Pajama parties are making a comeback! What better way to spend time talking to your squad about the Mr. Good Looking and how he better pick up the pace before cuffing season ends. The girlfriend PJ soiree is one filled of laughs, tears, chick flicks, specialty food/drinks and of course style! Long gone are the days of throwing on that old oversized shirt left by the ex or given to you by grandma. Remember ladies, those Instagram “woes” photos are going to need a fashionable touch to break 100 likes.

Take a cue from island gal Rihanna who always sets tone and trends associated with good fashion. Rihanna chose to lounge in a Jack Wills Onesie Striped Pajamas ensemble. Super cute, super comfortable and by the looks of the photos highly voguish.

Rihanna Showcases The New PUMA Eskiva

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 26, 2015October 26, 2015Leave a Comment

Looking to take your shoe game to a whole other level? Then, it is time to look to the badgal herself for the pair of sporty sneaks that you are going to want to cop before the holiday rush. Rihanna can be seen flying high in PUMA’s latest release, the PUMA Eskiva.

Now we are only going to warn all the sneaker heads and kicks lovers out there once. If you want to get your hands on these bad boys you better put your bids in now. Remember Rihanna’s Creeper shoes sold out in just three hours! Of course, it is of note that the Eskiva is not a collaboration between Rihanna and the popular brand. Rihanna is a brand ambassador with creative director responsibilities, however, in this case Rihanna is just on modeling duty.

Nevertheless, everything that Rihanna seems to touch seems to sale. Therefore, do not sleep on the Eskivas or you may be watching your friends walking around in them instead.

Personally, we are fans of the Eskiva Hi design because of its more modern feel and look than the average sneaker. However, there is a Mid style for those who are feeling the Eskiva but prefer a more normal shoe height. Check out a few more photos below and be advised that the shoe is available for purchase.

Tom Ford Exclusive Eyewear

Whether Tom Ford is designing for men or women one thing is for sure, his fashions are always a hit. Besides the announcement this week of a new lipstick (check out our next post for details) that is to be named after mister Hotline Bling himself, Drake, we could not get enough of the visuals highlighting a few pf Tom’s accessory pieces. From handbags to jewelry Ford is bringing a luxurious flair to women’s fashion and style.

We love the sophisticated as well as versatile design of these accessories allowing them to go from day to night seamlessly. Moreover, if matching accessories can be a little of a challenge the color palette of these accessories will match nicely with an array of fall/winter ensembles. Here are just a few of the plush designs from the Tom Ford Autumn/Winter collection.

Supermodel Sharim Diniz Attends Balmain for H&M Fashion Show

Arianne Suggs October 21, 2015October 21, 2015Leave a Comment

23 Wall St. of New York City was the biggest style party of night thanks to the arrival of Oliver Rousteing’s Balmain army. Some of the biggest names in the modeling world came out to stomp the runway in the Balmain for H&M collection show highlighting designer fashions that are more “affordable” for the average fashionista. What exactly does affordable mean in relation to the BalmainxHM collection?

Keeping it totally 100, the high-end collaboration contains designs well over the $500 mark, however, do not despair if your dream is to own a Balmain creation even if the wallet isn’t as fat right now. Every last piece of collection will be available for sale beginning on November 5th and will include several pieces under $100! So then, even though this dreamy match up between Balmain and H&M is not the cheapest collab we have seen from H&M there are still plenty of styles available that will not completely break the bank.

Sharim Diniz With Oliver Rousteing

Nevertheless, besides world renown beauties strutting their stuff down the catwalk there were plenty of stunners sitting right in the audience partaking of the show. One being the drop dead, I Wanna Hate On You But I Love Your Style SoFreakin’ Much, Sharim Diniz. Sharim looked too beautiful for words in a yellow Balmain dress as she supported her dear friend Oliver. Diniz took to social media during show stating,

“Supporting my favorite designer from all times Oliver Rousteing…”

“THE BEST SHOW EVER <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 CONGRATS OLI!”

Her sentiments rang true right along with several other celebs who felt the show was very successful as well. The only part of the night that broke our hearts is seeing The Backstreet Boys being inducted into the Balmain squad. Nothing against the boys, it’s just that we are NSYNC fans (LOL), but in the spirit of fashion we are willing to let it go.
