Then out of no where some ingenious hair stylist throws us all a curve ball. Did you hair lovers catch the newest one to hit the trendy hairstyle scene?

Black Girl Hair: Karrueche’s TNT Claws Large Hoop Earrings Hairdo

TNT’s new hit television show Claws certainly came out swinging! The series instantly garnered fans creating a cult following. Now of course the acting and numerous beauty looks have received much praise. Side Bar: If you have not seen some of the Claws’ fab claw creations aka nail designs. You have to hit up the series’ IG page. They are serving looks honey!

Nevertheless, being that the show follows the lives of beauty professionals it makes sense that much flair and style would be apart of the show as well. For in stance, Karrueche’s character, Virginia is beyond Bad and Boujie! From furs to six inch heels Virginia rocks them all.

Moreover, a BTS shot of Tran on set revealed a hair look that is every bit urban fresh. Karrueche’s blonde tresses are pulled back into a some up, some down fashion. To add drama braids as well as humongous hoop earrings are incorporated. We have seen flowers, gold clasps, crowns and even bobby pins be used as hair accessories, but never large hoop earrings.

Definitely a hair look that is outside of the conventional black girl hair box. What do you think of Karrueche’s style for Claws? Would you rock it or pass?

Ask and Tell: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set

Arianne Suggs July 4, 2017July 4, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set as seen at the 2017 Shaggfest.

You Asked: Hey 1966! Ever since you posted that mermaid color dress on Ashanti I have been stalking her page lol! I love her. I love her clothes. And I saw this green and black look that is slaying my life! I’m going away so I want this so bad. I cannot find it on the site online anywhere. Do you have any information on this?

Ask and Tell: Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set

The Verdict: Hey Love! You are not alone. So many girls hit us up about Ashanti’s killer summer concert attire. However, we hate to break to you, there is good news and bad news regarding the Ashanti Angel Brinks Two Piece Set. The bad news is this ensemble is not up on the Angel Brinks Fashions website yet. The brand released the following statement in lieu of all the demand Ashanti stirred up, stating,

“Ashanti x Shaggfest 2017. She’s performing wearing a two piece set from our boutique collection (not up on the website just yet).”

That was two days ago. However, hours later we found this out from Angel Brinks, “Everyone’s crazy about this bathing suit set! It sold out in store before I can make it available on my website. We got more in… If you want one call in tomorrow and order yours. Available in small, medium and large. (323) 455-2336.”

So then, hit those digits! Also, notice that belt Ashanti is wearing? It is called “King Lion” and it is up on the site for purchase, so you can at least buy that part online now!

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Get Your Man Right: Drake Hosts NBA Awards Wearing Tom Ford

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 27, 2017June 27, 2017Leave a Comment

In NEW YORK! We have to admit that from the beginning we were pretty excited to hear that Mr. Champagnepapi would be hosting the first ever NBA Awards. He certainly earned his place in sports television history by helping to revive the at times yawn-worthy ESPY Awards. Nevertheless, Drake hosting is one thing, however its his fashion statement that we truly want to talk about! Today’s Get Your Man Right is all about Drake Hosts NBA Awards Wearing Tom Ford.

Get Your Man Right: Drake Hosts NBA Awards Wearing Tom Ford

Got a guy who deep down believes he’s got some serious secret agent vibes? Blame it on his Playstation or XBOX, but several males would love to have a 007 fashion moment at least once in life … perhaps with a couple of six foot tall supermodels on his arm as well.

Drake’s Tom Ford ensemble for the award ceremony was very James Bond-ish. The white coat screamed Monte Carlo gamble time. Plus, this ensemble is easy for guys to recreate because it’s essentially just two tones: black and white. No fear of messing up the look from not knowing how or being very good at matching.

White jackets look amazing on a large range of skin tones and black pants are universally flattering on everyone. Moreover, bow ties are a nice departure from the norm. If your man likes to have a little more fun with his clothes he more than likely wouldn’t mind switching up his tie game.

Ask and Tell: Fashionnova Stupid in Love Dress as on Teyana and Christina

Arianne Suggs June 27, 2017June 27, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: The Fashionnova Stupid in Love Dress spotted on starlets Teyana Taylor as well as Christina Milian.

You Asked: Just sent the pictures. LOVE the dress that a saw on a she stole my dress post on Instagram. I think brown looks so great against our melanin so I would love to get this look! Do you all know how much it cost? Or if it is on sale? I really need a deal lol but I know celebrities can afford anything so hopefully its not too much.

Ask and Tell: Fashionnova Stupid in Love Dress Seen on Teyana and Christina

The Verdict: Photo evidence always helps so thanks for forwarding your photos so that we would know exactly which dress you are referring to! Normally, when it comes to us girls, seeing another chick in the same outfit as us is a fashion nightmare. However, when it is spotted on two ladies that are hotter than the sun’s core. At some point you just have to slap hands and be glad you have bomb taste!

Moreover, there is some very good news if you are concerned about price. The Fashionnova Stupid in Love Dress spotted on Teyana Taylor and singer/actress Christina Milian is under $40! Fashionnova is a celebrity favorite, however their prices are quite reasonable and affordable for us mere mortals as well.

The Fashionnova Stupid in Love Dress retails for $32.99. However, one word to the wise. Usually, once a gown is spotted on a famous face demand for the garment skyrockets! Therefore, act fast before it sales out.

BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob

Arianne Suggs June 26, 2017June 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Hair is an accessory. If you want an ensemble to be a perfect ten then tresses can not be simply ignored or overlooked. The fashions of the BET Awards 2017 red carpet were drop dead gorgeous and spotlighted 6 hot style trends of 2017. Did you catch them all?

If not be sure to hop over to our BET Awards 2017 fashion recap post where we break it all down and recap yesterday’s best looks. Nevertheless, right now it’s not about the gowns, suits or high end designer garb. One hairstyle flexed its power during the award ceremony proving that it’s not about length when it comes looking elegant and sexy.

BET AWARDS 2017: Hair Trend – The Bob

Will the hottest hairstyle of 2017 please stand up? At the BET Awards it was The Bob that was spotted every single time we looked right or to the left. Shorter length hair seemed to be the look of choice of the night. Letoya Luckett, Amber Rose as well as Sibley Scoles all sported shorter locks.

However, which ladies came to the award show with slamming bob cut hair? We noticed: Remy Ma, Karrueche Tran, Cardi B, Kat Graham and Nafessa Williams rocking bobs, to name a few.

Thinking about giving this trendy hair look a try? When it comes to to styling remember blunt cut bobs translate into being more edgy. If you would like to wear a bob with a softer effect, aim to add waves or curls for a more care free tousled effect.

Yeah Rih! Days ago we were all just excited about DJ Khaled and his son Asahd Tuck Khaled finally getting the visuals and vocals in. Then the real surprise occurred, Rihanna’s undeniable style moment. Her blue dress was sexy, but it was really her heels that stole the show!

Not too long after Wild Thoughts debut, news hit which later was confirmed by Manolo Blahnik himself that the shoes were in fact from Rihanna’s upcoming collection. The now infamous caged Manolo Blahnik Poison Ivy sandal heels will retail for a whopping $2,325! Certainly a splurge or one of those deals where all your girls pitch in and share a pair.

The rest of Rihanna’s collection with Manolo Blahnik is just as stunning. The utilization of precious stones as well as clear straps maintain its theme throughout. We love the details because it perfectly marries indulgence with tons of sex appeal. Nevertheless, we are not surprised that Blahnik and Rihanna have created such magic. For this is not the duo’s first rodeo together.

Last year, Rihanna and Manolo Blahnik released the Denim Desserts collection which had wild success. Therefore, this makes this latest collaboration the pair’s second collection together.
