Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 17, 2017January 17, 2017Leave a Comment

They had us at Tupac. We almost made this a Get Your Man Right feature, but because we seriously want a pair too we re-thought things (HaHa). These socks are already making 2017 leaps and bounds better than 2016. We are ready to do hard fashion time, Tupac Stance Socks… leggo!

Tupac Stance Socks…2017 Is Already Winning

Stance Socks continues to raise their bar when it comes to design. After the Rihanna collaboration and Star Wars collection we didn’t think things could get anymore epic. We are glad to say that we were fabulously wrong. Stance just leveled up and are about to majorly cash in.

Why socks with Tupac Shakur’s likeness? Stance answers, “In the 1990s’ [rapper] Tupac Shakur was one of the most dynamic and influential hip hop stars of our generation. [Tupac] Shakur will always be remembered for his gritty, yet poetic lyricsand his outspoken views on the system. With the support of photographer Mike Miller Stance Anthem presents 2pac for Anthem Legends.”

Bomb. So far not much press has emerged regarding the Tupac Stance Socks, however, SM is quickly changing that landscape. First images of the socks are spreading like wildfire across all platforms. Moreover, its a design that is quite unisex. We have seen both male and females have a high desire to claim these bad boys. Here are a few of the expressions we have seen in the past 24 hours:

“NEED NEED NEED!”

“Thug life.”

“Lol I never thought you guys [Stance] would cross that bridge… you have officially proven me wrong and now I will go buy a pair.”

“Sweet!!”

“I need your shoe size! Cuz you need these!”

“TAKE MA MONEY!!!”

“Them boas cold.”

“Another reason why we love stance socks.”

“2sock Shakur.”

“Gonna cop em.”

“You know I’m getting these ASAP!!! Lol.”

Tupac Stance Socks Cop Them

Many share the same sentiments as us. Also, that 2sock Shakur left us deceased and won the Internet. So let’s talk price ladies and gents. The Tupac Stance Socks retail for only $20! Get free shipping in the U.S. on orders over $25. Therefore, get you man and yourself a pair and enjoy the sweet reward of waving the shipping fee.

The socks come in two sizes so far, medium as well as large. Sucks for those of us with smaller feet but that’s just how the cookie crumbles. Cop yours now by going here.

Fun Fact: Did you Stance also sells for The Hot boyz and Juvenile? He’s still taking ova for the 99 and 2000!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 17, 2017January 16, 2017Leave a Comment

So many awesome campaigns are being revealed on the daily we can barely catch our breath! The model of century has done it again with yet another stunning ad campaign. Nevertheless, this time it’s double trouble because she is sharing the limelight with a very handsome co-star. Let us tell more about Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign.

Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign

She could wear a sack and we’d still buy it! Luckily, Naomi Campbell is working it in a chic collection of denim. Campbell is apart of the Givenchy family slash gang and was chosen for the Spring/Summer 2017 ad campaign. Campbell commented on her latest project stating, “Meet the new Givenchy jeans SS17 (Spring/Summer 2017) pinups. I love you Riccardo Tisci, thank you for always pushing me out of my comfort zone for another great project.”

Miss Campbell out of her comfort zone? Seems so far fetched since she always dazzles us with her body of work. However, when you ponder her statement it does start to make a lot of sense. As they say in order to be great you have to step outside your own box. Therefore, Naomi proves that unless you change you will remain the same.

Nonetheless, in the ad campaign Naomi shares camera time with male model, Justin Levy. The pair’s chemistry is electric with both serving face as well as amazing physiques. The renown and extremely talented Carine Roitfeld styled the campaign with the fabulous photog duo, Luigi and Lango creating art behind the lense. Kudos to all involved everything came out exquisitely!

Cipriana Quann Stars in Latest L’Oreal True Match Campaign

With glee Cipriana gushed about the L’Oreal campaign. She says, “I still can’t believe it! What a way to start off the New Year. So excited to be apart of the latest L’Oreal True Match Campaign which is being called one of the ‘most diverse beauty campaigns.’ Thank you to L’Oreal, the incredible team behind this campaign and all the inspiring individuals included. As a black woman I am excited for little girls/boys and young women/men to see diverse individuals they can identify with in the beauty industry. Showing their true self is true beauty and each and every one of us can look in the mirror and say, ‘Because I’m worth it.’

I have to admit I did shed a few tears when I had to say the classic line, ‘because you’re worth it’ during shooting. As a woman of color who had so many past struggles within the industry just to fight to simply be me. These struggles eventually led me to cofound Urban Bush Babes out of a strong passion to change the stereotypical standard of beauty and show true beauty is diversity.

To be selected from a brand I [also] have been using for over a decade and say because I am worth it from my unwavering beliefs. Wow, the power of standing up for what you believe in. Thank you to all who have shown your support and continue to support me on my journey.”

Spotted: Rihanna Rocks Burberry Fall 2016 Coat in NYC

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 11, 2017January 11, 2017Leave a Comment

We never tire of a stylish Rihanna sighting. The fashion icon knows how to keep us all on our swank toes regardless of the season. It may be cold outside in the streets of New York City, however Rihanna is still bringing the trendy heat. What did she wear? Last night we spotted the singer and actress in a ritzy Burberry Fall 2016 Coat.

Spotted: Rihanna Rocks Burberry Fall 2016 Coat in NYC

Recent style sightings of Rihanna have included more laid back fashions as she shoots scenes for her new movie. An all female version of Ocean’s Eleven. However, yesterday Rihanna had to let everyone know she still knows her way around designer labels. She killed it in a green snakeskin coat from the Burberry Fall 2016 collection.

What we love most about RiRi is that she is not afraid to take risks. The particular coat she wore was styled completely different than it was on the runway. Actually, it was a total 180. Burberry’s catwalk look was more formal and incorporated more prints.

Nevertheless, Rihanna paired her Burberry Fall 2016 coat with pink sweat pants as well as a pink sweat shirt with a hoodie. A perfect example on how to blend high-end with more relaxed pieces.

Styling Notes: Who says sandals have to only be worn during warmer weather? If we have said it once, we will say it again, great fashion knows no bounds! Just because it is not spring or summer, it does not mean you have to retire one set of shoes for closed-in ones. If you are not going to be exposed to the elements for extended amounts of time go ahead and break out heels with the more open design.

Christina Milian did not come to play! The singer and actress had heads turning left and all the way right over her sassy ensemble. It possessed glitz, glamour and everything old Hollywood chic was all about. Hang on tight fashion loves because our Christina Milian Attends Live by Night Premiere in Custom Pedram Couture feature is simply HOT!

Christina Milian Attends Live by Night Premiere in Custom Pedram Couture

Push all the way through Christina! Milian was in attendance last night for the premiere of Live by Night. Live by Night is a film that is directed as well as stars Oscar winner, Ben Affleck. The film is receiving major buzz due to the fact Ben’s directorial success Argo was such a huge hit. Many believe that Live by Night will have the same magic and amazing story telling that Affleck is fully capable of presenting.

Nevertheless, the premiere brought out all the stars which included Zoe Saldana and singer Miguel. Both Zoe and Miguel do star in the upcoming film. Moreover, Miguel is receiving tons of praise for his work in Live By Night and by all accounts his character’s cuban accent is beyond on point!

Anyway, loves we digress, back to the fashion at hand! Milian’s floor-length gown is divine. The custom Pedram Couture sparkled and illuminated the carpet as Milian gracefully floated by. Her look also included vintage earrings by Swag Vintage Designs.

Hair Notes: We love a perfectly executed updo! They are classy and elegant making them a must-have for a big event or night out. Christina’s lovely chignon was created by L.A. based hairstylist, Jameel Anderson who described the look as “silky” and “sleek.”
