The Item: Beyonce Wearing R13 Leather Double Stack Boots. The queen’s fashion moment was well documented as she attended the MIA (Made in America) Festival on September 3rd, 2017.

You Asked: I love me some Beyonce, but what is my baby wearing? LOL The flower boots could be cool because hey let’s be real, the 90s are back. I just wished she had worn them with something else. Anyway, I saw you guys give the prices of stuff so have to know how much she doled out for these things?

Ask and Tell: Beyonce Wearing R13 Leather Double Stack Boots

The Verdict: Thanks for reaching out babe and like you, there were many other ladies who have been wanting to know more about the most talked about boots of the weekend. Beyonce too gave us 90s vibes with her platform boots. Can you say If U Wanna Be My Lover five times fast?

However, Beyonce’s wild shoes are not by any member of the Spice Girls. She wears the R13 (aka R13 Denim) Leather Double Stack Boots. They retail for a whopping $1,495! A serious “splurge” item that the queen also chose to pair with a Houston Rockets Jersey.

You Asked: So my question today is about Karrueche’s sunglasses? I love the color purple so these glasses instantly caught my attention. I love the shape of them and all the studs. How much do you think they cost? I’m sure they are not cheap but just curious. Thanks!

The Verdict: Great question and we too fell fashionably for Karrueche’s stunner shades! Miss Tran is wearing a pair of Gucci Optyl and Metal Sunglasses. Moreover, as you guessed these stylish eye gems are not cheap. They retail for a cool $620.

However, Karrueche complimented her designer shades with a chic and more affordable swimsuit. The actress stylishly lounged in a super cute Color Super ‘Party Camo’ bikini. How much does this particular swimwear ensemble cost? You can get your hands on this bikini for just $65! Therefore, all in all Karrueche rocked an OOTD (outfit of the day) that totaled $685.

Beauty Insider: The MAC Cosmetics Gently Off Micellar Wipes

Okay, now if you are a MAC die-hard, you are probably thinking 1966 what are you on about MAC already has wipes! Yes, they do, but these new beauty babies are an improvement on those. In the current product available you only get 40 towelettes in a pack, whereas the newbies will boast 100!

Also, you will love how the Micellar Wipes have been formulated. For one they contain Micellar Water. What’s that you ask? Micellar Water is water made up of really tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules known as “Micelles.” Basically, these tiny guys attract dirt and draw out any impurities without drying out your skin. Nevertheless, MAC Cosmetics senior artist, Ashley Rudder shared a few additional deets regarding the wipes,

“Now you can gently swipe away makeup, smudges, dirt and grime, while carefully coddling instead of stripping or stressing skin. Created specifically for sensitive skin and eyes. These non-irritating towelettes gently remove makeup, leaving the face feeling clean, refreshed, soothed and perfectly primed for makeup or moisturizer.

Feels as good as water on skin, with the benefit of erasing every last trace of makeup! MAC Cosmetics Gently Off Micellar Wipes available online and in-store September 7th in the permanent line.”

Arianne SuggsUpdated on September 2, 2017September 1, 2017Leave a Comment

We think we’re falling… innnnnnnnnnnnnn love with this September cover! Or shall we say four? Songstress Alicia Keys Covers Elle Brazil September 2017 Edition and we have the details surrounding Keys and her bold covers!

Alicia announced to the world her latest cover girl duties by stating, “Thank you Elle Brazil for capturing my true colors. Can’t wait to come to Rio and feel all the magnificent energy! Be cool, be strong, be yourself.”

As one can see, besides wearing designer fashions such as Valentino, Alicia chose to also showcase her vibrant multi-colored braids front and center. Despite reports that this style is new, this is actually a hair look that Alicia has been wearing for a bit now. Keys first debuted her colorful hairstyle back in July.

Of course, as much as any magazine lover enjoys gazing upon stunning visuals; we also always want to know about the amazing content inside. ELLE Brazil shared thoughts on Key’s covers and why exactly she was chosen for their biggest issue of the year. The mag reveals,

“Alicia Keys, the star of our September edition! She appears beautiful and powerful [in nothing more than] blush and her very colorful braids. That’s the way she likes it and wants to show it to the world. And this is the decision that inspires [her] fans and several women to look at their beauties in a different, more moving way.

At this moment when everyone has room to spread their opinions, Alicia defines what we believe is to be an influencer today. Use your image and visibility to raise important debates by talking openly about patterns. Showing vulnerabilities and challenging your own barriers.

We went to New York to shoot the four covers of the September issue in which Alicia Keys appears so beautiful with natural skin. [Alicia is] happy, intelligent, critical, a girl who defends girls.”

Ask and Tell: Nicki Minaj Wearing Alexander Wang Fall 2017 Boots

Arianne Suggs September 1, 2017September 1, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Nicki Minaj Wearing Alexander Wang Fall 2017 Boots. Nicki was spotted in her stylish boot heels in a number of locales including on a private jet.

You Asked: HELPPPPP! I’m searching and nothing is turning up!!! I don’t understand what is going on with these boots? Nicki had them on and I know the designer. It’s Alexander Wang but I can’t find them or a price anywhere? What gives?! Do you have any information that can help me with this?

Ask and Tell: Nicki Minaj Wearing Alexander Wang Fall 2017 Boots

The Verdict: Hello there, thank you for the message. Well, if you found yourself searching high and low as well as in every crevice of the Internet looking for Nicki’s boots, you are not alone. Actually, the truth is you won’t find them anywhere online… at least for now.

Moreover, you are very correct when it comes to the designer behind Minaj’s chic boot heels. Nicki is in fact rocking Alexander Wang. By the looks of things these would be the Eri Boots, not the ankle boot versions, but the thigh high design. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the Eri’s Nicki has on is from the Alexander Wang Fall 2017 collection, which is not yet available for purchase.

Nicki’s boots come as a huge fashion surprise because during the actually Fall 2017 fashion show thigh high Eri Boots were not apart of the show. The models wore sleek leggings coupled with the studded Ankle Eri boots. Moreover, this could be another reason why these shoes are so hard to find.

Therefore, currently there is no price available for Nicki’s Boots. However, we can report that the ankle boot design that closely resembles Nicki’s retails for $850. Furthermore, other AW thigh boots seem to be in the $800-$995 price range. So hopefully that can kind of give you a quick idea about cost.

You Asked: Finally some news about us curvy girls! I have always loved Octavia Spencer but she really came out on top with Hidden Figures!

The Verdict: Well thank you so much and we are so happy to hear that you enjoy our content! Moreover, we too loved Spencer in Hidden Figures as well as her ensemble for the 2017 Venice Film Festival. For the red carpet event Octavia wore a design from the Tadashi Shoji Fall 2017 RTW (Ready to Wear) collection.

However, Octavia’s look for the festival was customized. We actually love both versions of this rouge look. Nevertheless, unlike the original catwalk design, Octavia’s custom garment includes a chic peplum style that added a nice sophisticated touch and really showcased her beautiful curves!
