So, yep, I was right - another round of catch-ups is totally required rn. Therefore: coming up...
Barbie delved into her casual side during a March visit to Nascar, pairing this dusty olive jumpsuit by Bebe with light beige Nike sneakers. This is a perfect example of dressing appropriately for the occasion - it's chill, trendy and sporty, but also comfortable and easy to walk in. Her side part and smooth locks give this look a bit of a 90's vibe and a nice touch of sleekness that balances the informality of the style nicely. She was back in heels for her next outift - a strappy LBD from Missguided that touches on the lingerie-as-daywear trend. She gave it a casually sultry vibe by letting an oversize jean jacket dangle off of one shoulder. I love the way the very laidback jacket makes dress more informal - imagine the piece jacket-less and finished with pointy pumps or ankle strap sandals. Instead, Barbie keeps things breezy and fierce with luxe suede peeptoe OTKs by Guess. Multiple layers of slim gold chains add a touch of quiet flash at her neck. This reminds me of a Guess ad campaign look. Oooo - can I nominate Barbie as the next Guess girl? :) Next up is a simple combo of a long-sleeved white tee and cutoff denim shorts in palest blue. So far, so basic. But she ramps up the volume dramatically with her shoes: the Schutz Karlyanna, a caged over-the-knee sandals that sports some serious attitude. One pair of fierce pink sunnies and boom! Girlfriend is good to go! This is a sterling reminder that the plainest of pairings can get a big shot of drama from seriously killer shoes. Reason #18765493 to have a couple of crave-worthy pairs in your closet (as if you needed another reason :)). She also treated us to a look at her cover for Next Big Thing magazine. One of my favorite aspects of mag 'shoots is that they let the ladies try out fashion avenues we wouldn't otherwise get to see them venture down. Can you imagine Barbie in a snake-print wrap dress under any other circumstances? It's def not her usual vibe, but Barbie has the body to rock high fashion (if you're reading in a wish there that she would do it more,...ummm yaaaaaaaas!). Even though I'm not a massive fan of snake print, this one is subtle and complex enough to be more artsy than snake-y, so I'm 100% on board with it. My favorite part is the satin detail at the cuffs and waistband. I love everything about this look: the floaty georgette fabric, the classic color scheme, the daring print, the dash of red at her lips, the high fashion feel. Slay my stylish heart, Queen Barbie! (Also: more please? :))

For some reason, Impact *always* decides to release a photoshoot right around Wrestlemania. It's slowly becoming one of my pet peeves with the company. They don't release anything for almost a year and then, boom, right when everything is psycho-crazy around Wrestlemania, they put out a huge 'shoot. Why, guys? Don't you know it's just going to get buried in the Wrestlemania onslaught? You're not going to top that. You're going to end up here, getting reviewed in June. That's so unfair to the ladies on your roster. Maybe a litttle diff timing next year, huh? Think about it. Ok, enough of Brie's b*******g. To fashion!
We kick it off with Brandi and a black and white version of her halter-meets-high-waisteds snake-embellished gear. This is such a solid effort from her! The gear is spot on, her poses are killer. She looks like she was born to do this. Gear 'shoots are notoriously difficult because they tend to be simple - just you and your gear out there on a blank backdrop to do your thing. It's hard to keep them interesting. Brandi works some less common poses and overcomes the drawback of the standard, blah gray background. Done like a boss and I love it! She's back, b*****s! The BAM is back! ODB has returned, flask, attitude and all. She's looking fab in an on-point red romper, made suitably trailer-park-ish with a camo head band. Her personality comes blazing through these shots and it makes them come alive. I love the spark she brings back to the roster! Sienna is making a serious effort to sell the whole skirt-as-gear thing and while I'm not on board yet, I give her points for tenacity. This black and burgundy combo is stunning, especially with the way the burgundy peeks through the black lace. I'm 100% in for her halter top (wish it had the same deep red metallic lining as her skort). This gear is definitely going in the right direction! |
