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

Vogue mag threw a star-studded beauty event in order to celebrate the Covergirl x Empire Collection. The makeup brand’s collaboration with the hit television show will allow ladies to add Empire inspired cosmetics to their beauty bags. More collection details will be released simultaneously with Empire’s return on March 30th.

All day Empire fans have been salivating over the news of the release. By the looks of things Covergirl is cornering an untapped market and will be met with success. A few comments we noticed on social media platforms in regards to the collection were:

“I know it’s just Covergirl but you know I love me some Empire! Hope we get this in Ulta!”

“I can’t wait!”

“Yasssssssss!”

“BRILLIANT! So much diversity! Love it!”

“Slaying my life!”

As you can see, to say that fans are excited about the Covergirl x Empire Collection would be an understatement. Nevertheless, one burning question did come to the fore. Where in the world is Cookie? Lyons seems to be clearly missing from the ad campaign. We will definitely be on the lookout for answers to that mystery.

Nonetheless, as mentioned Vogue held a soirée for the Covergirl x Empire Collection. Supermodel Lais Ribiero attended looking as stunning as ever! Lais wore an all black Phillip Lim ensemble with jewelry by Jennifer Fisher.

Empire actress Serayah also rolled through with a smoky eye beauty look that could bring any man to his knees. Serayah is thrilled about the Covergirl collab and took to IG to express to fans just how she felt. She said,

“Such a dream come true, the little girl came out in me last night. Thank you so much. Covergirl, Vogue #Empire.”

Yes, many young girls dream of modeling within the pages of a major magazine or being the face of a brand. It looks like for a few talented actresses the dream has become a reality. Congrats to the ladies of Empire and we can’t wait to try out the collection!

Fashion LA Awards Attended By Ciara & Karreuche Tran

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 21, 2016March 21, 2016Leave a Comment

The 2016 Fashion LA Awards was seriously PACKED with tons of star power. From Kanye, who recently admitted to being a Bieber fan to Nick Jonas we had many reasons to be Jealous. Nevertheless, we sucked up our style pride and feasted our eyes on two beauties who literally brought it and then some! Ciara and Karreuche Tran shut it down in all black and white attire.

We will begin with the lovely Ciara who attended the Beverly Hills event with her new fiancé Russell Wilson who wasn’t too shabby himself! Ciara dazzled at the Fashion LA Awards in a black gown by Alexandre Vauthier. Ciara and her beau proved that the couple that looks chic together stays together!

Alright, on to another one of our favorite style killers, Karreuche Tran. Flash tattoo designer Karreuche showed some skin in a two piece ensemble by Open Ceremony. We loved the addition of the gold cuff which gave her look an even more luxe vibe.

Believe it or not fashion friends but this look by Tran for the 2016 Fashion LA Awards almost didn’t occur! Tran’s stylist, Bryon Javar, revealed via Instagram that Karreuche’s look was changed just hours before the carpet and a new seamstress needed to be located after a cancellation. Javar worked his magic and got a seamstress and was able to send out Karreuche in her white goddess couture paired with shoes by Azzedine Alaia.

Javar sounds like the type guy you’d want around in a fashion pinch! Karreuche is a lucky gal to have such an amazing team and they definitely created style magic last night. However, Ciara and Karreuche have more in common then just great fashion, more on that in our upcoming hair post!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 21, 2016March 21, 2016Leave a Comment

In a world were job security is becoming scarce and the thought of remaining at one company till retirement seems like a fairytale; Kerry Washington just beat some major odds! Not only is her accomplishment huge in terms of time, but the Scandal star’s success is amazing due to the industry it pertains to and that industry’s ideals. Fashion thrives on youth and considers 25 as “getting up there.” Yet, Kerry Washington celebrated being the brand ambassador of Movado for 10 years. You go girl!

Movado designs some of the most timeless (no pun intended) watches seen throughout the globe. Movado toasted and partied to Kerry’s achievement at Hotel Les Trois Rois in Basel. Setting the tone for the night Movado stated,

“Our beautiful ambassador, [Kerry Washington], celebrating 10 years with Movado at our annual cocktail party at The Three Kings Hotel in Basel, Switzerland.”

Kerry looked like a vision not only in a Movado watch of course, but also due to the frock she wore by Monse. This right off the runway look is from the brand’s spring 2016 collection. Kerry Washington completed her look with heels by Manolo Blahnik.

Beauty Notes: Kerry geniusly broke up her ensemble’s black and white color scheme with a pop of color via red lipstick. This is the easiest way to add a little more drama to a look without it being overwhelming.

Arianne Suggs March 18, 2016March 18, 2016Leave a Comment

The weather here in California has been sporadic to say the very least. In the land where the sun is supposed to shine 24/7 things have been less than ideal to the typical Los Angeles native. Temps go up just as fast as they seem to go down. We’ll blame it on El Niño this year and keep it rolling. Nevertheless, to combat the cool weather foe we recommend Tart Collections Rella Coat.

Being Instagram dwellers we spotted the chic coat on Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie. Jasmine wore the Tart Collections Rella Coat in Blush (pink) for a red carpet event and also took one slaying selfie in it. Sanders loves her coat and so do we!

Want to get your hands on this stylish furry little number? Well, gals you are in luck because the Rella just went on sale! Retail price for the coat is now under $200. So then, for a tiny splurge you can look like a fabulous supermodel too.

It is almost that time of the year! Spring is quickly approaching and so is it’s hottest trends. Jumpsuits are perfect for spring due to the fact that they can be easily adjusted for the weather. Just a coat or cardigan can be added for additional warmth, if necessary.

Our Style Ambassador Carly shows us the ropes on how to make jumpsuits chic for spring. Carly says,

Jumpsuits are quite comfortable and can be worn during day time or at night. So if you are looking for something versatile this needs to be in your wardrobe. Nevertheless, what was Carly’s inspiration advice for this month? She stated,

“Be your own role model and learn to inspire yourself. Look back at what you did yesterday and learn from it n do it better today. Make it great tomorrow.”
