Leggings has no limit- Gigi Hadid Rocks Leggings on a wide range outfit

Perhaps she needs not much introduction, Gigi Hadid, the American Model and TV Personality in her current outfit like campaign proves legging could have wide range of use. Gigi Hadid seems determined to prove, once and for all, that leggings actually can be worn as pants. This past weekend while at Glastonbury, the It model rocked her favorite pair, a zipper-embellished option by Blue Life ($175), with a striped crop top and a sleek pair of kicks — just one of many nonpants pants outfits we've spotted her in as of late. She may have a model body, but seeing how many times she's fearlessly worn these babies in public has got us thinking: are the days of the stigma surrounding leggings about to be over?

If that's the case, quite frankly, we're relieved. What woman hasn't woken up on a Monday morning and groaned at the thought of shimmying into a tight pair of jeans? In the end, it all comes down to styling. See how Gigi has been wearing hers, then shop some similar items for yourself — if you dare.

That isn't to say that these leggings don't also work for their true purpose: as fitness apparel. Gigi was seen wearing them as such with some running sneakers.

Gigi has actually been wearing leggings a lot lately — and it seems that rumored boyfriend Joe Jonas approves.

Double buckle belt- An Unexpected fashion accessory Top celebrities are Rocking

Usually when we spot a must-have item, it's more of a want than a need. Designer bags, lace-up heels, jewels that cost more than our rent: they're pretty but not exactly practical. This It accessory, however, combines the best of both worlds.
As of late, Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez have both been rocking B-Low the Belt's Bri Bri Belt($148), which instantly amps up even the simplest outfits while adding something extra to statement-making looks. And while there's probably no realneed for two buckles, we're justifying our purchase with the fact that belts in general help hold up our pants. Keep scrolling to see how both ladies styled it, then shop this piece and similar options for yourself.

Kendall can't get enough of this cool, double-buckle belt! Whether she pairs it with a dress or some jeans, it just works!

Kendall even wore it out and about in Paris, dressed in a striped shirt and black pants.

Selena Gomez was also seen wearing the same double-buckle belt with cutoffs and a swimwear-inspired bodysuit.

From Lil’ Kim to Missy Elliott, the ’90s Hip- Hop Stars Whose Style Still Inspires

Source: Getty images
At the BET Awards Sunday, hip-hop fans were treated to a delightful surprise when Sean Combs took the
stage—bringing with him many artists including Pharrell, Mase, and Jadakiss —to pay homage to the late Notorious B.I.G. But we were most excited to see the return of Lil’ Kim (and her skintight all-black look and over-the-knee boots). With Fresh Dressed now in theaters—the documentary that traces the history
of hip-hop fashion from Dapper Dan to Kanye West — Kim, and her risk- taking approach to her wardrobe
feels especially relevant. From her bejeweled, skimpy costumes (see her famous purple pastie-involving
get-up at the 1999 VMAs) to her voluminous fur coats that made sure everyone knew who was boss, Kim personifies a certain type of OTT we’ve come to expect from major hip-hop stars.

The pioneering women of nineties hip-hop, from Salt-N-Pepa to Missy Elliott, made their sartorial imprint
and popularized everything from excessive and campy jewelry to playful sportswear. Just as
provocative as Lil’ Kim is her rival Foxy Brown; meanwhile, artists like Neneh Cherry preferred a more
thoughtful and funky approach. And like her powerful music, Lauryn Hill’ s sense of style endures today,
as nineties nostalgia continues to pervade the runways.

It takes a bold personality and rare talent to break into the boy’s club that is the rap game, and that
courage is no doubt also echoed in the personal styles of artists today like Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks, and Angel Haze. Here, a look at eight of their forbears whose music and signature looks continue to inspire us today.

Throughout the spring ’16 men’s shows, fashion labels have been having their say about cool sneakers. Today, Adidas talked back.
The athletic label hosted a live presentation in Paris this evening to unveil four spring ’16 styles for its Tubular footwear series, which is inspired by 1980s running technology. The event, a moody, artistic showcase held in an underground venue, featured local performers showing off the kicks through dance and acrobatic moves. Also setting the mood was an intricate lightshow and music by Parisian DJ Michel Gaubert.

According to Adidas, the new Nova, Doom, X and Defiant styles from the Tubular collection are “engineered to fit with a contemporary lifestyle where innovative technology is as important as a unique design language.”
The styles feature the signature sole unit plucked from the classic Tubular 93 sneaker, but updated with a monochromatic color scheme and premium materials such as neoprene, leather and knitted upper.

The look of the collection was crafted by Nic Galway, VP of global design at the brand and the man behind other previous fashion plays, such as Adidas’ collaborations with Stella McCartney, Yohji Yamamoto and Rick Owens (though he didn’t show the styles in his latest presentation).
All those projects have turned out to be highly successful for Adidas in terms of building important connections with the fashion world. And they’ve helped the brand evolve the look of its own core collections to address today’s more sophisticated consumers.
UPDATE: Adidas has posted a video showing the new Tubular shoes in action. Check it out here:

6 Ways to looking stunning for new week

After the long week's activities at work. its Friday we say often, time to rest and have good time with friends and family. But in most situation we are wrong. The weekend turned out much shorter, with lot if unplanned event coming our ways. The time tickling towards a new week, which we have not planned for.

We bring to you today, ways to plan your busy weekend and yet, starting the new week with a stunning look.

1. Have good time with friends and family.
Your family is a great asset you can't afford to loose. Yes You need to work so as to provide for them. But don't forget your money isn't all they need. Little time help strengthen the bond between families. Take some time at the weekend to play around with your family, so you don't start the new week with  burden of your home.

2. Plan your outfit for the new week.
It is always burdensome starring at your wardrobe in the morning prior to getting ready for work. I bet you might end up being a victim of what I called accidental outfit. This happen when you wear the wrong combination. To avoid such, take time to plan yourself ahead of the day's activities.

3. Get your dress ready.
Getting the right combination of dress is not enough and having an expensive dress is a little less than having them in the best condition. Get your dress well pressed, That gives a litte more stunning and respected look. One cannot be over dressed, it can always get better. If you are busy the type, the laundry service offers a bit affordable service. Try one out today if you have not been patronizing them.

4. Get your shoes polished
You are a step behind without this. Your outfit is not complete without a good and well polished pair of shoe. Of course you are not expected to get than done when you needed them.

5. Settle your family after the dinner
The family dinner is a good platform to settle all debt and matters arising of the day. You don't wake up the next morning opening old scores. The new day should begin problem free mind.

6. Get a good night rest. A sound sleep over the night make the body healthy and the mind sound.

Hope these help you get better every week. Have a wonderful weekend and new week beginning.
