Kourtney Kardashian posed for a pic on Instagram while sporting the same $1,695 La Perla Anchor Cutout Swimsuit that Ciara originally wore in March:

The gold and white neoprene one-piece features cutout detailing in the shape of an anchor, metallic cord embroidery, and a solid white back.

Hot!

As we watched the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors a few days ago, it was evident now as it was back then that Salt-N-Pepa are fierce, fabulous, and fashionable. At a time when the revolution of hip-hop was dominated by males, Salt ‘n’ Pepa rocked on the scene with a cool, sexy and direct approach to hip-hop. Not only were these women carefree black girls (way before it became a term or hashtag), but they sought to be unapologetically them from their lyrics, to their cultural expression.

In a 1995 interview with Interview Magazine, Salt said “we’re so daring and we don’t follow anybody’s agenda. We have our own agenda. That’s part of the reason we’ve been so successful.” The ostentatious, bold, and downright fresh style of these three ladies is just as prominent now with the resurgence of the 90s trend as it was back in the days of their music videos and media coverage.

Back in April, the ladies kicked off the 29-city I Love the ’90s tour, which included fellow rappers from the era like Coolio, Vanilla Ice, Biz Markie, and Kid ’n Play. Their influential outerwear of the 80s and 90s became not only precursors to today’s fashion, but also influential trademarks of the culture and essence of hip-hop as it was just forming.

We saw the coveted 80s trend manifested through distressed, ripped denim jeans and patched jackets for the video “Shake Your Thang,” the leather looks with the metal Venus emblem adornments in “Expression,” and plenty of the group’s T-shirt designs paired with their dance moves in hits like “Push It”.  

As we continue to see movements such as female empowerment, #MyBlackisBeautiful notions and a return to the 90s aesthetic in fashion brands and houses, we are forever reminded that these ladies set the bar way ahead of their time!

What influence did Salt n’ Pepa’s style have on you and your fashion sense? What’s your favorite song of theirs?

My favorite song, which still gets blasted quite often, is “Push It”, so check out their funky dance moves (and their true fashion sense) below:

Nina Garcia partied at the Project Runway Season 15 Cake-Cutting Celebration in a $412 Saloni Ruth Off the Shoulder Polka Dot Dress:

Her black neoprene dress features an allover white polka dot print, off-the-shoulder silhouette, sweetheart neckline, internally boned forset, adjustable self-fastening arm straps, and twisted draped top front detailing.

She has great style! Heidi’s Roland Mouret number was also pretty stunning.

If you’re up for the splurge, there’s one more size of Nina’s frock here.

Amber Rose paid a visit to Conan to promote her new show, The Amber Rose Show wearing a $3,495 Dolce and Gabbana Stretch Cotton Fitted Tulle Dress:

The mid-length, blue stretch silk-cotton blend fitted tulle dress features a square neck, three-quarter length sleeves, a fitted silhouette, a ruched design and an invisible back zip fastening.

Very different look for Amber.  The color is soft and refreshing.  I love it!

You can purchase her dress here for $3,495.

What do you think? Would you splurge?

Marjorie Harvey celebrated a friends birthday in Capri, Italy wearing the same Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2016 Printed Silk Twill Gown as Rihanna did a few weeks back during a stroll in Soho, New York:

Marjorie wore a bold yellow shoulder bag and lard cross earrings with her look.

While Rihanna dressed her hair with flowers and wore Stella McCartney Brogues on her feet.

Both ladies threw their hair in a high bun and donned a relaxed look.

Marjorie won this one for me.  I’m not a fan of Rih’s footwear.

What do you think? Who wore it better?

Water was John Elliott’s inspiration for his Spring 2017 collection: its impressions, waves and fluctuations, hues and shades. Looks were anchored with Nike kicks, low-top sneakers, and slides for the athleisure-centric take on luxury that we’ve been getting used to in fashion for a few seasons now.

Elliott thinks of his designs as luxury, but they come in at price points that are actually affordable and in silhouettes that are wearable in real-life. Utility and purpose are at the foundation of his brand. Case in point: the slew of bombers, hoodies, knits, and trousers.

Glossy button-front shirts and jackets were the most polished pieces in the offerings, though everything had an air of precision and restraint.

Jellyfish, wave, and geometric prints in whites and blues felt very oceanic and spirited.

Outerwear spoke to the season’s real needs: when the transition between Winter and warmer temperatures throws everyone’s wardrobes into chaos. Shorts then spoke to Spring’s latter half.

And though Elliott’s palette definitely experimented with buoyant greens, blues and the occasional pink, he grounded most of the assortment in his signature grays and blacks.

Overall, the collection had a very quiet and subtle strength and power. Men will definitely have fun in these designs, though there’s no denying that women will also be picking up a jacket or t-shirt for the season as well.

Are you feeling John Elliott’s Spring collection?
