Makeup empire Covergirl has made a move towards gender equality in electing its first CoverBoy, James Charles.

The 17-year-old New York makeup artist will star in Covergirl’s new mascara campaign, “So Lashy,” which launches later this month.

Charles’s fierce Yearbook photo went viral earlier this year, thanks to his expertly highlighted and contoured makeup.

On his instagram @JCharlesBeauty, he wrote, “I am so honored and excited to be working with such an iconic brand. I started my Instagram one year ago to inspire others and as an artistic outlet to challenge myself creatively. I truly hope that this shows that anyone and everyone can wear makeup and can do anything if you work hard.”

You better slay, James!
What do you think of Covergirl’s new appointment?

A few days ago, Beyonce punctuated a denim look with a sassy fur Blood & Honey clutch that read “I Kiss Better Than I Cook.”

After Beyonce made a splash, I had to stop by their showroom. I was blown away by their selection of sumptuous pelts in candy colors like pink, purple, and blue.

I had a good old time;)
A quick pop by their online store, and I fell deeper in love. The coats are certainly a splurge starting at $2,500, but if you’re going to invest in a coat, this might be the move.

Gucci this, Gucci that, Gucci has been killing the fashion scene with its latest collection. In honor of the brands never ending reign, today’s Bomb Product is the Italian brand’s Gucci Pleated Striped Stretch-Silk Midi Skirt:

Priced at $2,200, you’ll definitely have to break the bank for this splurge, but it costs to look as fabulous as your favorite celebs!

The shimmery statement piece features pink and silver metallic stripes cut from stretch-silk material.

This midi is a must have. Beyonce pranced through NYC last week setting the blogs on fire while wearing this shimmery stunner!

Stunt like Beyonce, and pair this gem with a sweatshirt and your favorite heels. This could also be paired with a crisp white button down shirt and a denim jacket.

Tis’ the season for thigh high boots!  Fall is officially here which means it’s time to put away the sandals and bring out over-the-knee footwear.  We did a call to our fashionable followers to see how they wear the trend.  Let’s take a look at some of the submissions:

 

 

Janell, @theworkingbeauty, went with lace-up boots to off-set her red plaid ensemble.   School girl chic!

Denim on denim was the look for @Stylebythefashionwhore.  Her denim thigh high boots are completely on trend.  I’ll take them in a size 8, please!

Charlisa, @carpe_diem_1018, paired her open-toe thigh high boots with a shorts and blazer set.  Obsessed with these boots because of the fringe detail in the back.

Trish, @according2trish, accessorized her black boots with a maroon colored fur stole.  Perfect look for the fall season!

Tiffany, @tippybstyle, went classic in an all black ensemble.

Tammy, @Drakes_right_hand, looked cute in her leather moto jacket, lbd and her black boots.  I’m here for it!

I’m completely feelin’ Brittany’s (@brittanykeiara) outfit!  Mixing casual wear with dressy thigh high boots makes for a fun look.

Kerry, @Kerry_Fiona looked swaggy in her red thigh high caged boots and vintage shorts.  Hot!

For Sachin and Babi’s second bridal collection, Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia served up amorous and fairy tale-esque gowns that hugged every curve. The designs were absolutely made for the modern-day brides with a youthful and playful spirit.

The brand’s initial ceremony-perfect assortment brimmed with structure, voluminous silhouettes, elaborate accents, and an all-around timeless approach. Fall was much more whimsical and daring.

An off-the-shoulder lace number was my absolute favorite, though all of the gowns were alluring and gorgeous in their own way.

Almost two months have passed since our last Kenzo x H&M update! With the collection’s release date just weeks away in early November, the brands have finally released a look book of the designs so we can start planning (and budgeting) appropriately:

Diversity was the inspiration behind the designs and it absolutely shows with the look book’s model casting. Model Selena Forrest, artist and DJ Juliana Huxtable, photographer Youngjun Koo, and artist Anna of the North are just some of the people who showcase the pieces.

Fierce animal prints in technicolor hues, in-your-face logos, impossible-to-miss volume, and statement-making accessories are all on the agenda.

An off-the-shoulder crop top and high-waist maxi skirt, graphic t-shirts, a textured bomber with puff sleeves, and high-waist printed trousers are on our must-haves list.

Jessica Alba has been the only celebrity spotted in the collection thus far, but we know that will change soon. Zendaya, Vashtie, and Chloe Sevigny are all fans of the main line, so we know they’re going to show up and show out in the designs in no time.

You can get your hands on all of the above in just a few weeks.

Will you be investing in Kenzo x H&M?
