Hey!

This YSL Crocodile Cuff is the perfect accessory to toughen up and add edge to any feminine summer outfit. It’s not quite a bargain at $670, but if you have the bling, go for it!

Our friends over at Stuff Fly People Like have uncovered the latest must have for men:
Man vs. Machine Bomber Jackets.
They report, “Flight and rider jackets exude modernism with their sleek stern lines and robot-inspired silhouettes, while leather jackets are effortlessly cool. In their quest of modern concepts, the refreshing aspect of Man vs Machine is that they find the balance between everyday accessibility and the need to push design forward.“

Today we have yet another exclusive with TV darlings, fashionistas, and sneaker entrepreneurs…
….Vanessa and Angela Simmons!
The saucy siblings certainly have their own stylish steeze and decided to share a few of their favorites with you!
In terms of personal style Vanessa says, “I would describe my personal style as classic chic with an edgy twist. You’ll see a lot of black in my wardrobe, but I do like color.“
She continues, “I have long legs and I’m tall so I like wearing dresses and skirts.” Angela adds, “It’s always hard for me to describe my personal style because I’m always changing it up. In my closet you’ll see a lot of different colors–I have a lot of dresses in gold but you’ll see me wearing yellows, silvers, pinks, purples, and oranges! I also like my shoulders so you’ll see me wearing a lot of strapless dresses and shirts to show them off.“
They continue, “When we kick back we usually love sweats and our Pastry Sweetie terry hoodies and pants. They’re sooo comfortable!“
In terms of designers, Vanessa says, “One of my favorite designers is Karl Lagerfeld and for shoes I love Christian Louboutin.” Angela says, “My favorite designers are Chanel, Roberto Cavalli and YSL.”
Of course they had to indulge their beauty must haves! Vanessa says, “I love Fresh’s products for their bath cubes and Sugar Lychee lotion (which I’ve been using for years). For make-up I love MAC and my favorite perfume right now is Versace Bright Crystal.” Angela says, “My favorite perfume right now is Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture. I still love smelling like a baby so Johnson & Johnson products are always in my cabinet! Plus they have a new line called Melt Away Stress that has a hint of lavender–it’s really good. I don’t wear much make-up, but I like Lancome Definiciles mascara.”
Lastly, the girls had a few thoughts on trends. Vanessa says, “I’m over Ed Hardy and trucker caps!” Angela says, “I don’t care what anyone says, I think Herve Leger bandage dresses are still killer. I love my black Herve Leger bandage skirt in black and my purple vintage dress.”
In closing, the girls encourage everyone to keep it real. They say, “Being in the public eye hasn’t really affected our style. You’ll still see us out in our sweats on busy days and glammed up at special events. We just like to have fun!“
