“18 years designing. 5 years with Pyer Moss. A bunch of fails, mad press, but very few wholesale accounts for a while. 3 eviction notices, mad overdrafts, crazy number of heartbreaks [and] employee turnover. People doubted me so much, I even started to believe it.

Pyer Moss Wins 2018 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund

Few things remained consistent except my core team, friends and family. So thank you guys for this opportunity to rest last year and reset. Thank you [designer] Aurora James for following me around with this camera last night like a proud auntie.

This ride has been insane – we won, in Brooklyn. Thank you the PM team, friends, family, judges, Vogue, CFDA and Reebok. We’re ready for whatever comes next. Love.”

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds!

 

Victoria's Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra

Ah, we love the smell of bling in the morning! This past a.m. Vickie S. hit us with the first look of their Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra! One million dollars worth of luxurious jewels and straight sex appeal.

This year’s coveted Bra is a collab between the iconic Swarovski label and intimate apparel giant,Victoria’s Secret. Swarovski who has teamed up with the likes of: Maison Margiela, Christopher Kane, Jean Paul Gaultier as well as Victor & Rolf on jewelry; has produced a creation for the VS 2018 Fashion Show incorporating over 2100 Swarovski diamonds!

Victoria's Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra

Furthermore, this hand-made design also boasts and includes responsibly sourced topaz. Also, you may notice that the Swarovski bra and body chain are set in a sterling silver Dream Angels bra silhouette. Moreover, the stunning center piece has more than 71 carats (yeah, total Rose from Titanic status). In this design’s entirety, it took over a whopping 930 hours to create! Can you say major?

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds!

Victoria's Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra

Now… we know one of the reasons you may have decided to check out our post on this is because you know we always are super honest (Lol). With that being said, this year’s Fantasy Bra let us feeling rather… meh. While we are so thrilled for model Elsa Hosk to be the one to rock it down the catwalk. It just seems like this design is a tad bit “lackluster.”

Victoria's Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra

Yes, while 2100 diamonds is nothing in itself to yawn about. This year’s design just seems to be missing the allure of million dollar FB bras from the past. Maybe we have just been super spoiled in the past, but this bra just doesn’t seem to have the typical Victoria’s Secret flair.

Victoria's Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds (Continued)

However, if you love the style of this year’s Fantasy Bra do not stress because you don’t have a million dollars lying around. VS is offering their hardcore buyers a little cool treat come November 29th. Keep that day in mind (it’s a Thursday BTW) because the VS brand at select stores and online will have a “knock-off” version of the 2018 Fantasy Bra available for purchase.

Yup dolls… Instead of schilling out one million, you’ll be able to plop down $250 for the lookalike version. Pretty cool if you have ever wanted to have a Fantasy Bra of your very own, but be quick because they are already projecting a fast sellout. So then, may the best credit or debit card win!

Victoria's Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra

Tune in to see Elsa and the other Angels strut down the runway during the sexiest night on TV. The 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs Sunday, December 2nd at 10/9c.

Renny who has blessed the faces of many beautiful, fab celebs from Gabrielle Union to Brandy; finished off his au natural beat face with the Pat McGrath Lip Fetish in Blow Up.

Pat McGrath Lip Fetish in Blow Up

Lip Fetish is an awesome set of lip balms that are sheer yet mesmerizing. Furthermore, the color impact these lippies create are long-lasting and are actually a great protection for the lips. They are specially formulated to help fight against free radicals and contain antioxidants as well as emollients for an extra added dose of nourishment.

Plus, “Blow Up” is a nice hue if you are looking to go nude. Nude doesn’t have to completely make your lips seem to disappear right off your face to qualify. The key is to choose a color that either looks close to your skin tone, is a rather delicate/soft shade, or the color of your lips.
