Get Your Man Right: Summer 2015 Shades and Hats

Arianne Suggs May 13, 2015May 13, 2015Leave a Comment

The heat is about to be on but we are sure your bae is going to want to stay looking cool at all costs. Accessories play a major part in keeping his style modern and as fresh as his line-up. Not all men are into necklaces or wrist bands, but a fashionable hat or shades could be a happy compromise.

Shades and hats are able to protect his eyes as well as skin from the sun and being the great woman in his life that you are, you can rest easy knowing your boo is well protected. Besides being protective such accessories really help pull a summer look together. Even the most relaxed styles receive an extra shot of charisma and flair. Don’t believe us? Just think of Tom Cruise in Top Gun or Will Smith pimping towards the President after defeating a nation of aliens in a pair of sunglasses. Or would MJ have been as much as a Smooth Criminal without his fedora? Probably, but still the proof is in the pudding, accessories easily enhance any ensemble.

Fashion Quote May 11th 2015

Arianne Suggs May 11, 2015May 11, 2015Leave a Comment

“I fall into that nebulous, quote-unquote, normal American woman size that legions of fashion stylists detest. For the record, I’m a size 8- this week, anyway. Many stylists hate that size because I think to them, it shows that I lack the discipline to be an ascetic; or the confident, sassy abandon to be a total fatty hedonist.”

–Mindy Kaling

Fashion Psychologist Dawnn Karen Attends Harlem Derby

Alicia Suggs May 7, 2015May 7, 2015Leave a Comment

Fashion Psychologist Dawnn Karen is a Columbia University graduate, the founder of the fashion psychology field and a Professor at The Fashion Institute of Technology. She attended the Harlem Derby this past Saturday as a Celebrity Judge. She judged the best hat and best dressed.

Churchhill Downs Comes to Harlem. The Derby is not just about horse racing, it’s about the magic that makes the first Saturday of May unique in Sports, Fashion & Style.

How did this event come to happen?

Three years ago, St. Croix native Kevin Krigger was the first black jockey to ride in the Kentucky Derby race in 12 years. In honor of the return of a black jockey to the derby, Lenox Avenue restaurant Settepani held a Harlem Kentucky Derby Party in true Southern style.

“Historically, there have been many African-American jockeys, and their contributions have never really been recognized,” said Leah Abraham, the restaurant’s owner and one of the event organizers. “We wanted to do something honoring them.”

When the first Kentucky Derby was raced in 1875, 13 out of the 15 jockeys riding that day were black. Over the next 28 years, more than half of the derby’s winning jockeys were black. But there have been fewer African-American riders since the earlier part of last century.

As mentioned, the Third Annual Harlem Derby Gala was held at Ristorante Settepani. There Dawnn Karen deliberated with celebrity Judge Musa Jackson (Screen Writer, Producer, Special Events Coordinator) and Judge Sharon Rainey (Deputy Director Communications and Advocacy of AMREF Health Africa).

Women wore simple outfits, so as not to detract attention from their fascinator hats while drinking mint juleps. Men wore simple hats. No way they were going to detract from their suits as well!

The paparazzi and jazz musicians made for a festive event as the who’s who of Harlem made their red carpet entrance.

Fashionable Mention: Liya Kebede for Peek & Cloppenburg Spring/Summer 2015 Campaign

Arianne Suggs May 7, 2015May 7, 2015Leave a Comment

We absolutely ADORE this look from the Peek & Cloppenburg spring/summer collection. Of course anything would look amazing on model Liya Kebede who poses for the 2015 campaign, but we still find that the entire ensemble is chic sophistication. This look showcases the whole “less is more” vibe by only incorporating a change in color with accessories i.e. the shoes and handbag. With everything so streamlined and relaxed the focus and emphasis really does get to be on design and tailoring.
