Arianne Suggs January 20, 2017January 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Diggy Simmons is all grown up and still making all us girls want to throw him our digits (LOL)! Simmons is following in the steps of his sisters and getting down on the fashion tip. His beautiful sisters, Angela and Vanessa, in the past have designed stylish collections right down to shoe wear. However, Diggy isn’t going that particular route. You see Diggy doesn’t create designer fashions, he just rocks the heck out of them! His big fashion is definitely one for the books. Let us tell you more about Diggy Simmons Walks For Dolce and Gabbana Fall-Winter 17.

Diggy Simmons Walks For Dolce and Gabbana Fall-Winter 17

People have their squads, tribes or a crew. However, the Dolce and Gabbana brand for their recent menswear runway show presented their DG millenials. The new crop of male models that are giving the fashion house a more exclusive look.

For his walk down the runway Simmons wore a black tailored jacket with floral accents. These details harmonized very well with his floral print pant. We loved the use of a bow tie which gave the ensemble even more character.

Nevertheless, it was refreshing to see florals apart of a fall/winter collection. Normally, we all are very familiar with seeing such a look during the spring season. Winter fashion tends to lean more toward the drab end of things with tones including dark blues, grays and black. However, this change of pace gives guys the opportunity and freedom to break the rules as well as experiment with not color but prints. Love this pairing great job Diggy you should do this more often!

Our favorite city, with our favorite backdrop… yeah this new Chanel ad is going to be pretty boss. Paris was spotted hitting fierce poses in the City of Lights back on January 18, 2017. Shooting took place near the famous Eiffel Tower.

The Chanel shoot immediately gives us Marilyn Monroe vibes. The whole gorgeous pin up doll times rallying the troops feel. Moreover, Jackson wore an array of fashions that included an all white ensemble that photographed like a dream. The complete look incorporated a belted high waist skirt, neck tie blouse and metallic shoes on top of socks. 2016 saw the return and invasion of socks and heels. Thus it looks like the voguish craze is carrying over into 2017 as well.

Nevertheless, the use of humongous and flashy accessories is what really caught our eye! Shoulder length earrings, layers of bracelets, chunky cuffs, plus satin and polka gloves. Uh yeah, count us in on that action!

Most importantly, Paris looked very happy. It is always wonderful when you get to do something you love. Congrats on the campaign girly and can’t wait to see more from you in the future.

India Westbrooks Wears Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls

Arianne Suggs January 20, 2017January 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Here’s a little bit of fashion truth: Overalls are basically cool from pre-school up to 2nd grade. Then they quickly lose their appeal. However, a new crop of awesome designers are taking this classic and giving it a fresh remixed modern spin. Our favorite pick of this sudden overall revival hails from a couture genius stationed in London town. Check out his unique vision… India Westbrooks Wears Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls.

India Westbrooks Wears Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls

Ugh… we just love edgy couture! The Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls ooze effortless cool vibes. Miss India Westbrooks took one of her recent photo shoots to new levels by adorning herself with head-to-toe Digby Jackson fashions.

The petite beauty wore the stylish Chemical Plant Overalls/Dungarees with yeti shoes. Moreover, she mixed retro with revision by opting to forgo a shirt. Google the chick from Come On Eileen and you will see exactly what we mean. Furthermore, the overalls are so fashion forward that its unisex. Both girls and boys can kill it so we have to tip our hats off to Jackson for such a versatile design.

Nevertheless, India is in good celebrity company when it comes to wearing the DJ brand. Serayah, Fergie Ferg as well as Sofia Richie have all worn Digby Jackson digs. Its the cool kids brand and we are excited to witness the full on fashion domination in the future.

Hair Notes: If you are going to wear clothing that’s already “in your face” it is best to keep hair simple. Doing so has two fold benefits. One you will not overpower your outfit allowing the focus to remain on your statement pieces. Also, you will keep the look very clean instead of overworked.

High Ponytail Hairstyles: Blac Chyna ‘Raises’ The Bar

Arianne Suggs January 19, 2017January 19, 2017Leave a Comment

This season strands are going to new heights! Want to be on trend? Then learn to aim higher darling. Go for the hair gold by rocking high ponytail hairstyles. We spied Blac Chyna taking things up a bit and the result was absolutely stunning.

High Ponytail Hairstyles: Blac Chyna ‘Raises’ The Bar

Hair shouldn’t be a headache. High Ponytail Hairstyles are easy hair looks that can command attention effortlessly. Raise a hand if you remember Queen Bey‘s high ponytail Met Gala hairstyle. Her fierce tail turned heads even though in essence it was a simplistic and incomplex hairdo.

Blac Chyna’s ponytail was created using virgin hair from Kendras Boutique. The boutique sells not only extensions but also hair products and styling tools such as flat irons too. Nevertheless, Blac Chyna switched things up from her signature raven tone locks and opted for a fab platinum blonde shade. Moreover, Chyna added texture to her look by incorporating loose waves. Furthermore, the tail received an extra dose of chic by wrapping a few strands around all elastics so that they are hidden.

Beauty Notes: Blac Chyna’s makeup is a perfect look for spring. Makeup artist Jolisa Jackson aka Jo, created a look that incorporated delicious peachy as well as pink hues. The color peach is a subtle tone that denotes demureness, innocence and purity. Moreover, pink is romantic, feminine, playful and considered the tint of love due to being associated with red and white. Nevertheless, since most think of spring as being a time of renewal, vitality, pureness, hope and love such a beauty look is very fitting.
