    MAC Viva Glam Taraji P. Henson Lipglass and Lipstick now available at Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. Available until February 2018. Call me a creature of habit. Although the appeal of Empire have seem to cool down this time around, I, nevertheless, have spent the last two days over at the Fox website rewatching the season 3 premiere. After capturing copious amounts of screenshots and perusing several luxury websites, I present to you the Empire Season 3, Episode 1 fashion credits: Agent Provocateur Pink Loleata Mules Fleur Du Mal Floral-Print Short Kimono Robe Maison Martin Margiela Embellished Brooch | T by Alexander Wang Twist Front Jersey Tee | T by Alexander Enzyme Washed French Terry Sweatpants | BVLGARI…

    MAC Viva Glam Taraji P. Henson Lipglass and Lipstick now available at Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. Available until February 2018. The fashion credits for episode 11 (“Death Will Have His Day”) is still in draft but I was able to get a jump on this week’s episode. First, thanks to Mary Collins of Vauje Jewelry enthusiastically sharing that Cookie Lyon wore one of her necklaces (from her “Empire Inspired” collection) all over her Instagram (follow her at @vauje), I secured my first sighting of the night. And now, after a little searching, here’s the rest of my findings (with cheaper and black-owned alternatives where appropriate):

    Cookie Lyon Vauje Necklace [Shopping #Empire]

    /

    Cookie Lyon Vauje Necklace costs less than $100 making it a steal and one of the more accessible items worn on the show. Anyone that has been keeping up with Cookie Lyon’s wardrobe this season knows that the billionaire hasn’t worn many affordable items as of late. However, later today, we will see Cookie wearing an $85 custom gold necklace by black-owned brand Vauje Jewelry. Take a gander at the bold neckpiece below: Cookie Lyon Vauje Necklace, $85 Counting Betsey Johnson and Lanvin as inspirations, jewelry designer Mary Collins has created luxurious statement pieces since 2009. Now, thanks to the show’s costume designer Paolo Nieddu, she’s made her way to the Empire! I…
