Spring Runway Make-Up, Nail and Hair Ideas!

Try out some of these popular runway looks that have been taking over the fashion world this season.

24-Karat Accents

The Runway: Look at how designer Jason Wu dazzled the eye lids and eye brows of his models with a "gold shimmer" at his Spring 2014 Fashion Show. Even make-up artist Pat McGrath brushed a mix of gold pigment and loose sparkle through the eyebrows of the models for the Dior Fashion Show.

Kanye West x SXSW

Last week Kanye West took the stage at #SXSW where he and Jay Z performed songs from Watch The Throne. Here's some candid photos of Kanye on stage.

2014 Spring Trends

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE so we all know what that means. The second all of this snow melts away there will be a lot of legs, arms, and midriffs showing. Fortunately, it's still a little chilly, so we have time to prepare our closets for the hot weather . Below are some key items that's a MUST to purchase when shopping for the Spring season.

High Waist

Let's be honest, the "high-waist" trend isn't going ANYWHERE! High waist items always accentuates our legs by making them look longer and the dreaded "muffin top" all of a sudden vanishes.

The waistband should always be visible right, or else what’s the point? Shirts should be tucked in or cropped high whenever wearing anything high waist. This look can go from day to night with the change of your accessories and/or make-up.

Designer Obsession

Spring is finally here, which means fun in the sun! Get a head start on your swimsuit shopping for upcoming vacay's and beach trips. I'm currently loving swimwear designer Andrea Iyamah. her 2014 line is nothing short of amazing. Check it out!

The Casual Male Look

I'll admit that Street Style is my first option when it comes to MY style, but sometimes I like to switch things up. Casual or the upscale casual male look doesn't always have to be boring. You can always add some things to make it more interesting. The cardigan, plaid shirt, pants, and boat shoes combo, can be perfect for a nice Spring or Fall day. Try adding a more street inspired/ laid back shirt or cardigan to add some of your personal style to it. Don't over do it and make it to preppy, like they were doing in 2009.
Accessories are always essential for your look, whether sunglasses, watch, bracelet, chain or hat it can be what defines your outfit. I have to admit until recently I thought accessories were irrelevant in Menswear (Or at least in my style), but sometimes on a laid back day throwing on a pair of sunglasses or a nice hat can make you look cool. When heading into the office you can always keep it "Mad Men", or "GQ" inspired. Pair a long coat and scarf with your usual office look to give it that spark!

Street Style: Control-Sector

Up and coming clothing line Control Sector is easily one of my favorite American Based Men's Clothing Brands. Based in LA the brand shows both in New York, and LA fashion weeks. It has a very complex and edgy style, It's like the brand was made to be featured in Nylon Guys. Definitely a line to watch, and what makes it even better the price range is very affordable. Take a look below to introduce yourself to Control-Sector.

Nick Young x Iggy Azalea

Nick Young and Iggy Azalea were also in this month's issue of GQ magazine. They're one of the NBA's newest couples and it doesn't hurt Nick Young to have Iggy on his arms. Take a look below to check the spread out.

NBA Players Takeover The March Issue of GQ

After taking a look at the recent issue of GQ Magazine I noticed there seemed to be a lot of NBA Players featured. Lebron James covered the issue, while the Indiana Starting 5 made an appearance, as well as other popular players from around the league. One of my favorite issues of the magazine to date, I always love when sports and fashion come together.

Lebron James

2014 Oscars Best Dressed Men

BRAD PITT
Wearing a classic tuxedo perfectly tailored to his physique, the handsome actor turned heads. A crisp black bowtie accented his look perfectly.

2014 Oscars Best Dressed Women

ANGELINA JOLIE

Although she didn't need any help stealing the red carpet spotlight, Jolie literally shined in a shimmer Elie Saab Haute Couture gown... along with 42 carat diamond earrings of course.

LUPITA NYONG'O

How can you not absolutely love the 12 Years A Slave star in this stunning "Nairobi" blue Prada gown with Fred Leighton headband and jewels? Can you say GORGEOUS!

PFW Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 Recap

With new creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere at the helm, the Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 show was highly sought out, and was received very well from the critics. I love that the Louis Vuitton brand is still doing well, post Marc Jacobs (one of the greatest designers of our time).
