Flashback Fashion Friday: Cushnie et Ochs & Herve Leger " sampled" 1990s Rapper Mc Smooth's Signature Style








While looking at Cushie et Ochs and Herve Leger's Spring 2016 RTW collections, I recognized the signature style of Mc Smooth, a 1990 female rapper. MC Smooth would wear bodysuits and her pants/shorts pulled down to expose her "love handles. Check out her signature style in Smooth's You Been Played Video.

Wonder Mc Smooth knows that fashion giants like Cushie et Ochs and Herve Leger are "stealing" her style.

Summer-to- Fall Formula: Four Fashion Staples that Will Transition Your Wardrobe


The Ruby Giraffe Brand's Summer-to-Fall Fashion formula is simple, inexpensive and will look  fabulous on you. The Ruby Giraffe staff used "the formula" to transition their  Summer wardrobe into fly, Fall fashions. We used the " the formula" in the photographs above, to transition a plain Summer dress into a traffic-stopping Fall favorite. 

What You Can Transition to Fall with "the Formula"?
You can use "the formula" to transition your Summer dresses, skirts, shorts, capris and pants. Basically everything Summer.  

"The formula"= layer your Summer favorites with a blazer, tights, sweater and a statement belt.



The Sweater  adds a pop of color and provide warmth from the elements. Remember, Summer fabrics are very lightweight and breezy!

Textured tights  adds warmth, color and vibrancy to your Summer favorites.



Place the statement belt on the smallest part of your waist to create an "hourglass" effect. The statement belt is eye-candy, that adds structure to your look.










The blazer adds a tailored, polish element that completes the look.



















The Ruby Giraffe Brand will be back with more fashion advisements plus tutorials and giveaways. Be sure to like our Facebook page, follow us on Instagram. Please upload your pictures using "the formula".

Blessings.
