Marc Jacobs A/W 16 Seductive Finger Waves

Arianne Suggs February 25, 2016February 25, 2016Leave a Comment

We are still lusting after the alluring hair seen at the Marc Jacobs A/W 16 fashion show. For the their strut down the catwalk model’s strands were fashioned into finger waves. It was enough to make any Flapper livid with jealousy.

The model’s hair were molded into different versions of the same style. Some ladies had ‘traditional’ wavy locks with all tresses up, while others had strands in the back left to hang loosely. We even noticed waves being created on very short natural hair. The common denominator was the sparkly glitter added throughout the hairstyle.

The marriage of vintage and modern clothing was beautiful. Finger waves are definitely a hairstyle that can not be ignored. Yet, the style added an edgy, goth sophistication to the overall look of the designs. All without stealing away the spotlight from the real stars… the couture.

The Marc Jacobs A/W 16 show was hauntingly gorgeous to say the very least. From the chime music to the fur, lace, glittering prints, big bows, feathers, long hand gloves, flowing gowns and metallic detailing our style cup runneth over! From start to finish your eyes never dart away from the runway. Here is the show in its entirety to enjoy:

Streetstyle: Suno Dress Worn By Zendaya Coleman

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 25, 2016February 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Zendaya Coleman has had yet another major week of work. Her CHI Haircare ad campaign was released showcasing just how real her beauty is and then some. CHI Haircare held an event for the release of the campaign that included their stunning spokeswoman. Zendaya was styled to perfection in a design by Suno.

We always love seeing Zendaya in color because we feel bright tints look great with her skin tone. We spotted Zendaya taking her fun look to the streets. The gown displays a very small amount of skin giving it a hint of sass. Coleman completed her ensemble with black boot heels and a leather jacket.

Suno Designer Dress

Zendaya’s use of jewelry was very minimalist. When wearing an outfit that is bold there really is no need overpower the look with unnecessary jewels. Accessories and couture should never compete, only compliment each other.

Hair Notes: Being the front lady of a major hair company it is no surprise that her tresses looked so fabulous! Coleman rocked curls for days with her Suno dress.

CHI Haircare Real Is Beautiful Campaign With Zendaya

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 24, 2016February 24, 2016Leave a Comment

Chi Haircare has just released a new ad campaign featuring one our faves Zendaya Coleman! The campaign aims to help girls to embrace their real individual beauty. As part of the #RealIsBeautiful campaign Zendaya shares her style and beauty tips. Zendaya makes a wonderful spokeswoman for the CHI Haircare brand since she does always keep it 100.

Just how real does Zendaya keep it? Well, in the past she stood up to remarks made in regards to her wearing dreads at a red carpet event. The result? Recanting of statements made and Zendaya heralded in the form of a Barbie doll, dreads and all. Coleman’s outspokenness to be comfortable and confident in your own skin has resonated with young girls the world over.

CHI Haircare is added fuel to the inspiration fire by supporting realism. The brand’s Gram profile even mentions that they just don’t want your hair to look beautiful, they want you to feel beautiful too. What a nice thought!

We are huge fans of CHI Haircare products and own several of their flat irons and hair protectant products. Moreover, we are happy to see this partnership between Zendaya and CHI and can’t wait to see what’s all in store. Check out the campaign girls, the photos are stunning!

We spotted two dimes at the Vanity Fair and Fiat Young Hollywood Celebration. Actresses Keke Palmer and Empire’s Serayah made appearances at the fabulous celebrity soirée. Young Hollywood doesn’t always get the love that they deserve but these starlets showed just why they are worthy of the flashing lights.

Starting with gorgeous Serayah who’s style game is always on point. Really should we expect any less from a member of Instagram’s hottest squad? For the Vanity Fair and Fiat Young Hollywood Celebration Serayah slayed in a dress designed by Vivienne Westwood accompanied with heels by Cesare Pacotti. She further accessorized her ensemble with a clutch by Emm Kuo.

Keke Palmer also brought it in a chic yet more laid back outfit. Palmer paired a red button down shirt with tie-waist culottes. We always salute fashionistas who take risks because that is what fashion is all about. To wear those bottoms you definitely have to be daring!

Furry Nails Spotted at Libertine F/W 2016

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 19, 2016February 19, 2016Leave a Comment

During a fashion show everything is scrutinized right down to the smallest details. It’s not just about fashion but the overall look. As a model walks the catwalk the cameras can be unforgiving. Therefore, it’s important that designers make a statement and create a show that is unforgettable. Libertine’s Fall/Winter 2016 runway show did not disappoint and had us all like, “Wait was that furry nails?”

Nail addicts feast your eyes on one of the oddest yet daring nail trends for 2016. If you are a fan of MTV’s Teen Wolf you are probably jumping for joy. Your eyes are not failing you, you are in fact seeing Libertine models with furry nails.

Nail designs have evolved quite a bit over the past few years. Bling, chains and illustrative details have been faves. However, for awhile it has been more about nail shape. Who of us can forget the strong pointy long nail trend that had us rethinking the use of tampons? Nevertheless, admit it or not furry nails have a slight fun, majestic feel to them. If you don’t take it as something you would rock daily it could be a cute one night nail look that you simply do for the Gram and Tumblr.

So if you want the furry nails look how do you create them? The co-founder of CND nail polish, Jan Arnold, and the CND team painted model’s nails with Vinylux Weekly Polish in Cream Puff (cute, love the name) and Rubble. Next, faux fur was securely attached to each nail using the Super Shiny High-Gloss Top Coat. Boom! That’s how you get this creative nail look.

With another number one album under her belt, Rihanna continues to rule the music world. Her fashion prowess has not dimmed either, being that she just showed her Fenty x Puma collection during New York Fashion Week. As the Creative Director Rihanna has much influence in design. On the heels of her successive showing in NYFW comes news of a new shoe, Trainer by Fenty.

Rihanna Shows Fenty x Puma Collection During NYFW

Anyone remember the Puma Creeper? Well, you might if you were able to get your hands on a pair. The Creeper sold out almost instantly and the shoe world is gearing up for another hit from the Fenty x Puma camp. In regards to the Trainer by Fenty, Puma took to Instagram stating that the shoe is,

“Designed to draw attention, push boundaries, and change the game. Designed by [Rihanna]. Introducing the Trainer by Fenty. Available 2.26.”

We always enjoy getting fan reactions to big announcements. We find it is a way to gauge potential success and get some realism on the subject at hand. Here is what people are saying about the Trainer by Fenty ad campaign:

“Talk about setting a trend.”

“Work work work!”

“Ugh why is she so dope.”

“I want these shoes.”

“We want the Creeper ones to be restocked!!”

“I like them they kinda clean.”

“These are better than my Reeboks, that are no longer mine lol.”

So far it sounds like people are feeling them. Fans also took time to send their well wishes to Rihanna since she was unable to perform at the Grammys this year. Yes, get well soon Rihanna and congratulations on the new shoe.

Fashionable Mention: Red and Black Prada Bag

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 17, 2016February 17, 2016Leave a Comment

If you are in the market for a bag or two that will be great transitional pieces during the year you may want to indulge in some Prada. Transitional pieces are fashions that can easily go from season to season without looking dated or failing to match well with newer couture. The color black will always be classic and timeless, while red is always sassy as well as a nice pop of color for various ensembles. Therefore, ladies feast your eyes on the red and black Prada bag.

Prada has always been known for their use of high quality materials. Their 2016 shoulder bags are no exception. The red and black Prada bag was designed using both gaufre nappa and saffiano leather. Saffiano is a texture pressed material that has a cross-hatch finish (diagonal pattern) created by a machine. Saffiano is also made from the highest calf leather and often has a wax finish. This leather was patented by Prada but that hasn’t detered other fashion brands from using it. Tory Burch, Coach and Michael Kors have all included saffiano in their designs.

Gaufre Nappa Leather is a soft to the touch, very thin yet durable leather. The look and feel of this leather is luxurious with a very sought after sophisticated design. If looking like a million bucks is your goal then this bag is what you need.

Zoolander 2 Vogue Editorial Starring Joan Smalls

Arianne Suggs February 5, 2016February 5, 2016Leave a Comment

In this editorial put together by Vogue, Derek Zoolander proves he is a really, really good looking model! We always love when a bit of humor can be reintroduced into the fashion world. Zoolander, the film that made the duck-face pose a mainstream staple is back with a hilarious sequel. Actors Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson began building hype for Zoolander 2 when they walked in the Valentino Fall 2015 runway show. Their unexpected Paris fashion show appearance set the tone of epic style moments to come.

The latest promotion includes a fashion spread in Vogue. Zoolander fiercely models with supermodels Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn and Gigi Hadid. The photos give us life and we can’t stop looking at them. Fan reaction to the Zoolander 2 editorial has been the same, here are a few:

“YESSSS”

“They Slay”

“This is amazing”

“Squad”

“This is for Vogue hahahaha I love it!”

“Why do I love everything about this?”

“This must be what it’s like to be really really good looking!”

“LOL slaying your thinking caps. Slay on slaya… Slay on!”

Yes, the photographs are fabulous and all models involved are slaying. Nevertheless, who is behind the camera is as important as who is in front of it to achieve such greatness. The Zoolander 2 photos were lensed by the iconic Annie Leibovitz. This is Derek Zoolander’s first Vogue cover (LOL).
