Streetstyle: Hood and Snapback Combo

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022December 17, 2014Leave a Comment

It is cold outside even here in normally sunny southern California. Keeping warm and staying in style can be a challenge especially when all you want to do is bundle and wrap up like a burrito. Nevertheless, we remember some cool layering by Angel Haze when she attended the menswear Givenchy fashion show in Paris, France. Angel didn’t just wear a hat, but she then added a hoodie on top. The backwards hat will always be cool in our book and layering on an outerwear piece with a hood just seals the urban fashion deal.

What do you think of Angel Haze’s streetstyle look? Would you wear it? Tweet us your thoughts and join the discussion on Twitter @1966magazine

Joan Smalls Fierce Editorial for Vogue Japan December 2014

Supermodel Joan Smalls slays whether in front of a camera and lights or stomping down a runway. This month Joan shows that her modeling skills are no small potatoes by posing to the death for an editorial for Vogue Japan. Smalls is slinging snowboards as well as pink, red and blue braided ponytails all while in fringe knee-high boots, fur as well as leopard print attire.

We have said it once and will continue to preach how wonderful it is to see color being utilized in fashion during winter. Of course the usual couture forecast during this season involves darker, drab shades so it is refreshing to see vibrancy in this editorial. Take notes and remember just because it’s cloudy and dark outside doesn’t mean it has to take all the fun out of your personal style. Be bold, be you and always have fun.

En Noir Fall-Winter 2014-2015

Arianne Suggs December 16, 2014December 16, 2014Leave a Comment

If you are following our wave length today we are showcasing mens couture that caught our eye so that you can Get Your Man Right all this season. The En Noir Fall-Winter 2014-2015 collection had some of the most striking jackets for men. A great jacket can easily pull together an ensemble so even if your special guy doesn’t really care for fashion, throw him in a well designed coat, shirt and pants then he is set. We thought En Noir’s paneled jacket was just too fab and you can NEVER go wrong with leather whether male or female. The entire collection was modern, trendy and proved minimalistic style can be wait for it…legendary!

The Pose: Is this male model not serving?! We just had to point out that we loved his cute little smirk 🙂

Ladies and gentlemen, now he looks like one very bad man! Hands down we absolutely love to see men in long coats during winter. Long coats give off an effortless cool factor like a guy is coming from the Matrix or saving the world with Nick Fury. This coat from the Ami Fall-Winter 2014-2015 Menswear collection is a well-tailored piece conveying strength and sophistication. Therefore, be a honorary personal stylist and buy the men in your life a long coat this season.

Off with his fine fashion head! Okay, we retract that ruling only because of what these male models were adorned with for the Dolce & Gabbana Menswear Fall/Winter 2014 show. The fashions and accessories were medieval inspired channeling the Norman Kingdom of Sicily. We were especially blown away by the intricately designed accessories from gloves to shoes. We would love to get our paws on a pair of those jewel encrusted hand gloves that we believe is fit for any king OR queen.

Streetstyle: Ripped Distressed Jeans

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022December 2, 2014Leave a Comment

Drop a mean looking outfit as temperatures outside continue to drop low. That may have just sounded like the hardest album in 2014 about to hit the music scene, but we’re firm believers that the right jeans can go just as hard. When it comes to denim always remember that style is just as important as the right fit.

We have loved all the ripped jeans we have spotted from the runway to the streets. They were apart of the Triton 2014 Winter Womens Runway Collection during Brazil Fashion Week and a pair were seen on supermodel Joan Smalls while walking the streets of Paris. With the ripped jean style you can be more conservative with just a few slight rights or go very bold with huge holes and shreds. Complete an outfit by pairing them with a slouchy tee-shirt, sweater/sweatshirt, leather jacket and heels or boots.

Travel Monday: Help! I’m Wrinkled and I need a Iron!

Arianne Suggs December 1, 2014December 1, 2014Leave a Comment

Traveling the world and seeing the sights can be fun beyond words, especially if you remembered to pack everything that you needed to make the trip more enjoyable. Vacation or not most of us want to look our best, who knows we might just get our groove back right? Therefore, what can be done if you’re in a pinch when it comes to walking the streets of your destination location wrinkle-free?

A good alternative to a regular iron is using a flat iron on low heat to iron your fashions. Always start at a lower heat and gradually adjust the heat up for really unruly wrinkles. Make sure the flat iron is clean and free of any oils (because let’s face it we use it for our hair LOL) before beginning.

American Music Awards 2014 Fashion Trend: Shimmery Couture

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 24, 2014November 24, 2014Leave a Comment

We noticed a few trends on the red carpet for this year’s American Music Awards, but one trend stood out and seemed to match the event’s glitzy vibe. The AMAs red carpet at Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles, was raided with shimmery couture looks that were full of Hollywood razzle dazzle. Singer/actresses Zendaya Coleman and Jordin Sparks both showed off daring, sparkling attire as well as extra skin.

Spark’s bronzed gown included a plunging neckline while Zendaya’s over-sized gold ensemble (pants and trench are Georgine Spring 2015) revealed a blue midriff baring top. The looks definitely grabbed the attention of onlookers and the event’s television viewers. What do you think of shimmery couture, is it a “Do” or a “Don’t?

Garcelle Beauvais Attends American Music Awards 2014

Arianne Suggs November 24, 2014November 24, 2014Leave a Comment

The ageless and forever stunningly gorgeous Garcelle Beauvais shut down the red carpet in a snug red-hot gown accompanied with metallic heels. We also peeped a cool super dark manicure being worn by the stylish actress. Guess it’s time to bring out the goth in the nail department!

Hair Notes: We are fanatics for wavy locks and Beauvais’ shoulder-length tresses looked beautiful. Get the look by fashioning braids on damp hair after shampooing and conditioning. Once completely dry, carefully undo the braids and finger comb to style your wavy look. Add shine by spritzing your strands with a light hair oil.
