The Fab List: 25 Times Celebs Looked Chic at The Airport + Travel Items You Can Shop Now!

Airport style has become a popular fad amongst celebrities and the like.  At times, a celebrity’s travel look is more calculated and well put together than their everyday look and rightfully so.   Airports are some of the busiest places in the world, and you never know who you may see.  So, it’s important to travel in style.

A lot of fashion lovers draw a blank when it comes to choosing their travel attire.  Trapped between being comfortable and in fashion, they panic and end up rolling with a mediocre outfit that has them wishing they were invisible.  Fret no more!  For your travel style inspiration, we have 25 fashionable airport styles that will give you an array of ideas for your next airport run.  Also included are travel must-haves that you can purchase now.

Let’s get into the looks below!

Keep it sporty for the airport like Bella Hadid.  Find a vintage sports tee and pair it with some joggers and fresh sneakers.

Got a statement coat like Nicole Ritchie?  It’s the perfect cover up for traveling.  It keeps you stylishly warm in the below zero temperatures at the airport, and it also allows you to wear whatever you want underneath.

Turn your swag up while keeping it comfy like Ciara did in this sporty look.  All you need is a trendy Letterman jacket, a plaid shirt to tie around your waist, your favorite jeans and some fresh sneakers.

Solange never disappoints when it comes to fashion.  Her high-waist paints look like the perfect traveling attire – super stylish and comfy enough for a long plane ride.

Take a note out of Kendall Jenner’s traveling style book and rock a matching set to the airport.  This takes the pressure off having to choose a separate top, pants, etc.

Keep it cool like Rita Ora and throw on an Adidas track jacket, some cute shorts, or leggings or both!

Why not rock an eye-catching coat and statement hat like Fan Bing Bing?  If you love bold looks and are up for the extra attention,  go for it!

No matter where you are, grunge always works.  A cute beanie cap, some plaid pants or jeans, and some funky boots will definitely have you floating through the airport on trend.  Just ask Miley Cyrus.

If Rihanna rocks a onesie in the airport then it’s acceptable!  Get a cute onesie, pair it with some fly sneakers and your travel attire is complete.

Distressed jeans, a cute sweater and some booties will never go out of style!  As you can see on Emily Rakowsky, this look works perfectly for the airport.  It looks fabulous and is relaxed enough to enjoy your plane ride.

Show Review: 3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2018

The vastness and beauty of Africa should be the exact things that inspire all fashion designers everywhere, but with cultural appropriation rampant in the fashion industry, sometimes I wonder if being influenced by the continent and all it has to offer does more harm than good. Thus, I had an initial cringe upon hearing that 3.1 Phillip Lim was inspired by photographer Jackie Nickerson’s photographs of Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe. Luckily for us all, his designs were beautifully and tastefully done—not a complete surprise, but one never knows—with riffs on traditional Maasai plaids. There could absolutely still be a bone to pick as these tribeswomen and men won’t profit off of Lim’s designs, but this was at least done with the right intention in mind…if that even still counts for anything.

Leather and PVC played against cozy knits for the ultimate Fall mash-up—capturing what sartorial-loving ladies will actually be wearing when this assortment hits stores.

Other pieces channeled that easy, breezy mindset of resort in pristine all-white, classic khaki, tie tops for the utmost versatility while on vacation, and high-fashion spins on the timeless track suit.

Accessories continued that tribal-inspired vibe with oversized drop earrings in bold hues and rope-accented sandals.

Glossy jackets tied around the waists of several looks felt incredibly modern, functional, and how actual fashion-minded people might actually wear them based on the temperature changes during Fall—but they often detracted from the rest of the ensembles, becoming the main focal points.

I’m most interested in actually purchasing the brand’s signature paperbag trousers done in patent leather, shiny statement-making jackets in the same texture, and the assemblage’s array of wearable crossbody leather bags.

And though Lim’s pieces aren’t often red carpet ready go-tos, celebs will definitely gravitate toward a ruched, cross-front crop top, a knot-accented piece that will look perfect with everything from high-waisted denim to pencil skirts, a trench-inspired dress that could double as a vest, and a super cool plaid suit.

What do you think of Lim’s Resort offerings?

Show Review: Coach 1941 Resort 2018

After Selena Gomez’s flirty pink gown at the 2017 Met Gala, all eyes have been on Coach. The brand’s Creative Director, Stuart Vevers, is continuing that fun-loving, féte-ready mood for Resort—with a slew of designs that are perfect for work, play, and every single party in between.

Denim is given a spirited spin with embroidered patches, scallop lace trim, front seam detailing on retro-inspired jeans, and a barely-there cutoff and jacket combo that we wish we could wear right now.

My affinity for Coach shoes started in high school and I’m happy to report that I’m definitely looking to pick that love back up for the season. I’ve been all about booties in 2017 and the collection is brimming with them. When paired with shearling vests, wispy printed frocks, patch-emblazoned leather jackets, fuzzy sweaters, and mini dresses, Vevers demonstrates their versatility more than a few times over.

Bags are inarguably the things the brand is best known for and they did not disappoint. Colorblock leather, star-accented suede, flap fronts, mini sizes, and stud embellishment are all on the agenda.

As is requisite for real-time wear when the collection hits stores, outerwear is strong, yet simple enough to meet every person’s style proclivities. Puffer vests, classic solid coats, sumptuous shearlings, and 70’s chic leathers make a powerful, yet pared-down statement.

Sasha Lane, Chloe Moretz, Hari Nef, and Rowan Blanchard are all fans of the brand, thus I’m certain each and every one of them are already clamoring to slip into the designs at hand. A star-print mini dress seems like just the piece for the former Girl Meets World actress, while a sheer-hem LBD would be just the thing to show off the aforementioned model’s mile-long legs.

Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’oir Are Getting Their Own BET Docuseries!

We must confess: we’re pretty obsessed with Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’oir! And it seems like the higher-ups at BET are as well, as the couple has just landed their own docuseries on the network:

As you may remember, the rapper staged his proposal to the makeup-loving beauty back in November: popping the question at an Atlanta Hawks basketball game with a blindingly large ring. The duo met seven years ago on the set of one of Gucci Mane’s videos.

The series will journey along with the lovebirds as they plan their wedding, as well as giving an inside look into Gucci Mane’s rap career, his forthcoming autobiography, and how Ka’oir runs her waist trainer business. Based on the ring and the pair’s penchant for the finer things in life, we know their wedding will be major! The big day is already slated for October 17, 2017—we’re not invited, but we definitely have our calendars marked too!

Naturally, Ka’oir announced the news on social media:

We can’t wait! Will you be tuning in?

Fashion News: A$AP Bari to Show Vlone at Men’s Fashion Week in Paris

How many A$APs are there? No seriously—I cannot keep up with all the members of the crew! They’re known for their style and the industry has certainly embraced them, with A$AP Bari announcing some pretty major news just a few days ago. He will be taking his line Vlone to Men’s Fashion Week in Paris:

After the designer created his very own Vlone x Nike Air Force One—which has no confirmed release date yet—it seemed only a matter of time that Bari and his line would make a big move. During his June 23rd show in the 1st arrondissement, he will debut his initial collection of cut-and-sew designs, along with some pieces he is having made in both Italy and Japan—as reported by WWD.

A post shared by V. lifestyle (@vlone) on

“I might do a denim program,” Bari stated. “I might do some leather pieces. I’m not sure.” He may be keeping us on our toes, or legitimately still may be mulling it all over as showing in Paris is no small feat! And the burgeoning style star hasn’t confirmed whether or not he’ll add a shopping, pop-up element into the mix, as he’s known for staging those all over the globe. Two things he has made plain are that a smattering of Vlone aficionados will be invited to the show, as well as his casting of real people for the presentation.

A post shared by V. lifestyle (@vlone) on

Most designers would show in the City of Light if they could, but Bari’s goal is larger than that. Of the show’s purpose, he affirmed, “I’m trying to show kids that you can do anything.” He continued, “I’m not a kid that went to fashion school. I’m not a kid that went to college and studied fashion. I’m a kid that grew up in fashion and learned it from a life experience.”

A post shared by V. lifestyle (@vlone) on

And to be clear—this collection is for “the people” and for “the world” according to Bari. “If Barney’s wants to come and buy some clothes, they are going to have to buy the whole lifestyle of Vlone and let me shut down Barneys and bring in my own vision,” he exclaimed. “Other than that, they can’t have it. It’s for me. It’s not for someone to take my s–t and resell.” We feel him!

A post shared by V. lifestyle (@vlone) on

He also commented on the whole Gucci and Dapper Dan fiasco. “I feel like nobody should hate on what somebody gets inspired by,” Bari asserted. “But it’s sad that it takes 20 or 25 years for them to be inspired by Dapper Dan when he could have been a designer for Gucci. Why didn’t Louis Vuitton give him an opportunity to design for them?”

Vacation Beauty Bomb: Lash Extensions and Eyebrow Tinting at The Lash Gallery with Rochelle-R.E. Magno

Happy Thursday, folks!
So as I wrote here, I’m going to Haiti this weekend for an Artisan, Fashion, and Agriculture press trip. When I travel, I never want to be bothered with lots of makeup or maintenance, so I decided to get lash extensions and eyebrow tinting at the Lash Gallery (205 E 16th St, New York, NY 10003). Peep the before and after:

Bam!
I opted for eyebrow tinting ($20) vs. microblading ($800) because my skin keloids and microblading is basically a tattoo! My brows were tinted using a Henna product and should last a week.

My lashes, which cost $400 for your first session and $125 for touch ups, should last 2-4 weeks.

I would not recommend you take an HD picture with no makeup on! But I do recommend you pop by the Lash Gallery if you plan to travel or would just like a fun summer look with little effort. You can literally wake up: flawless.

Or at least better than normal! LOL.
Visit their site here to schedule your appointment. Ask for Dr. Rochelle R.E. Magno and tell her I sent you!

Virgil Abloh of Off-White Teams Up With IKEA To Recreate The “Frakta” Shopping Bag

IKEA’s oversized blue “Frakta” bag is no secret to the masses of minimalist shoppers. It’s even inspired high-end designers like Balenciaga, but now they’ve found a designer whose architectural vision matches their own: Virgil Abloh from Off-White.

According to Fashionista, Abloh is collaborating with IKEA to provide a new spin on the practical 99 cent “Frakta” bag. The designer gave the polypropylene material bag a theme name titled “Sculpture” that will read in a black bold print across the new bright yellow bag.

The new design was introduced officially on IKEA’s Instagram today but was first viewed and briefly discussed at the IKEA Democratic Design Days conference in Sweden. Only the beginning process was shown as it consisted of a yellow version, as well as the classic blue version as well.

Abloh and IKEA’s head of design, Marcus Engman explained why they decided to team up in the first place and it’s simple, the home goods retailer is highly intrigued by the designer’s architectural vision, street aesthetic and music background.

Abloh said, “We’ve gone to work, you know, on my interpretation of the classic bag.” “There’s so many iconic things that makes IKEA, IKEA and…Theres so many moments to work in a design career with the absolute best.”

Not only will Abloh design a new bag for IKEA, but will use his influence in the home department too. In the video below, they explain how he will help millennials from across the world redesign modern furniture pieces for their homes.

There is no set date yet when the new bag creation will be sold online and in IKEA stores but it feels like it’s the next best thing forthcoming this summer!
