Spring is the perfect season to wear leather outside of it’s usual black or brown color scheme, and this season Lori Harvey is choosing burgundy! Earlier this week while attending an LA event at Lavo Risorante, Lori was seen chopping it up wearing a $7,000 Saint Laurent lambskin cropped moto jacket and an Hermes Kelly 20 crocodile porosus bag in a deep maroon.

As seen on the Spring Summer 2023 runway during Paris Fashion Week, the Saint Laurent jacket features strong shoulder pads, is belted at the waist and also comes in Navy.
Worn with sleek black Wolford leggings, no look is finished without the right choice of footwear and for Lori, she opted for Tom Ford’s classic naked heel.
No one does luxury monochromatic looks like Sally LaPointe and her preview of her Resort 2024 collection was an instant hit filled with innovative designs that had Ostrich feathers, rich double-face satin and sequins ensembles.
Our CEO Claire Sulmers arrived to LaPointe’s show looking up to par in a nude cable-knitted midi dress, with Ice Queen Montego Bay scrappy heels and a mint green Hermes mini bag.

Sulmer’s statement hat by Ruslan Baginskiy was fierce and if you take a closer look, you’ll notice Beyonce has also wore the Ukraine hat designer on multiple occasions during her Renaissance Tour.
It’s evident to see that Claire was the yin, to Sally’s Yang in her all nude monochromatic look while Sally LaPointe herself opted for all black.

LaPointe’s resort-wear was chic yet practical and offered a youthful spin with juicy colors like aqua and rosé pink. Her silhouettes were feminine and offered modern dimensions including cutouts, and deep plunge necklines. We loved LaPointe’s use of alien-inspired shades resemblance to Balenciaga and they felt undoubtedly on trend.

LaPointe’s all pink rosé ensembles felt flirty and romantic, pairing velvet skirts, dresses and chiffon suiting with feather finishing which we adored.

In addition to LaPointe’s bold and brighter hues, she also showcased neutral tones and incorporated the color black into her resort collection which created a happy medium for the woman who is more modest or reserved with her style.

Following the end of her latest collection preview, Sally expressed gratitude to attendees by stating, “Thank you to everyone that came out to celebrate the preview of my Resort 2024 collection. You all mean the world to me.” She also mentioned that she will be showing in September during New York Fashion Week so you can anticipate extravagant designs to debut down the runway.
It was hard to keep your eyes off of Erica Mena at the premiere for ‘The Stepmother 3’ who shined in a skin-baring $1,211 purple dress designed by LaQuan Smith! The lead actress is the first Love and Hip Hop cast member to star in a trilogy.

The violet sequin on this open back number is a staple material from LaQuan’s Spring Summer 2023 collection. Pairing the dress with a pair of Tom Ford pumps in highlighter green, a choice fashioned by stylist Scooter Styles, really drove the look home. We love the color combination!

With a fit designed to flatter, and a collection that exudes novelty and elegance, it’s no surprise that our CEO Claire Sulmers bet on Bridal Babes for her Harvard reunion last week.
Sulmer’s 20th reunion was a full circle moment for her and her college besties who color coordinated their outfits during the duration of the reunion. When it came down to Sulmer’s crew rocking hints of yellow and gold, she stood out amongst the crowd in her champagne ‘Arya’ Gown from Bridal Babes.

Bridal Babes, is a black-owned tech company that offers an extensive assortment of fashion-forward Bridesmaid gowns that range from a small-5XL. The company which was founded by husband and wife, Ashley and Charles has been featured on Shark Tank, Ebony and Essence magazine.
Our CEO Claire opted for a strapless Bridal Babes silk dresses that felt like the ultimate bombshell look and perfectly accentuated her curves. We loved the draping at the bust and throughout the waist of her gown, and her high slit was daring yet complimentary to her stunning shoe candy.
Sulmers gold open-toe lace up sandals paired exceptionally well with her mini beaded bag and her platinum pixie cut was on point. We love seeing our CEO shine bright in all her glory at her 20th Harvard University reunion and with the help of Bridal Babes, she made quite the sartorial entrance.

This SZN is all about denim-on-denim and thanks to these trendy Dolce & Gabbana denim embellished heels to complete your look, you’re sure to be one of the flyest out to step to any gathering on function.
Made in Italy, Dolce & Gabbana is best known for their high-end uniquely designed shoes. These heels are no exception and retail at $1,377. Topped with a rhinestone square buckle, Dolce & Gabbana’s denim patchwork-style pointed toe heels were created with a contemporary design in mind and for a modern woman who can rise to the call of duty.
The chic distressed denim heels stand at 4.5 inches, and we love the subtle detail on the back of the heels that has D&G logo in silver hardware.
We also adore the versatility that these shoes offer in terms of styling them up or down. Of course you can never go wrong with denim-on-denim, however these stunning heels would also compliment all-white or can be paired beautifully with a linen ensemble for summer.

There’s no doubt that the Kardashian family is full of entrepreneurs. Some of the most successful business endeavors that the Kardashians have recently undertaken includes Kim’s skin-care line, SKKN, and her loungewear line, SKIMS.
Earlier this year, Kim filed for four new trademarks under North’s name in hopes of setting up her to become business savvy.
The the first trademark was filed for “non-medicated skin preparations, skin moisturizers, skin lotions, skin creams, and skin cleansers,” with an even wider range of products, from face serums to bath oils and even hair care products.

Skin-care isn’t the only business North is adding to her business empire. North’s trademarks also include plans for a toy line that is set to feature a large range of kid-friendly items like toy figures, dolls, and play sets.
Though there’s no set date for when North West business lines are set to release and hit the market. However with a team of entrepreneurs under her belt and a Grandma who puts the ‘M’ in ‘Momager,’ we are convince that North will undoubtedly be a successful in all her pursuits.
