    Splurge of the Day: Rihanna’s Riot Inducing Balmain Lace Top and Boy by Band of Outsiders Miniskirt

    by Claire

    Rihanna hit the Hollywood Bar Delux last night in a Spring 2009 Balmain lace top and Boy by Band of Outsiders miniskirt:

    rihanna-balmain-band-of-outsiders

    The paparazzi apparently went so crazy for her that they almost started a riot!

    Rih Rih clearly loves Balmain, as she was spotted in a jacket by the line not too long ago.

    What do you think of her look?

    Get her Balmain top Net a Porter’s International Site and her skirt at Hejfina:

    balmain-band-of-outsiders

    Left to Right: Balmain Exaggerated Shoulder Top, $1,901. Boy by Band of Outsiders Suspender Skirt, $639.

    Mail Bombs: Tamera Mowry’s Purple Foley + Corinna Dress, Tia’s Black Maxi Dress, and Brooke’s Motorcycle Jacket!

    by Claire

    Happy Friday!!
    Today is such a great day for me: I finally got my residency card!! Woo-hoo!
    Let’s celebrate with Mail Bombs:

    mail-bombs-16-35-261

    They’re always fun!

    The Mowry Sisters were making waves this week, and our inboxes were flooded accordingly with requests for their red carpet looks.
    First Sabrina says, “Tamera Mowry!! HAWT!!!”

    tameram1

    “I’m going to Vegas in a few months…and I love this dress!! Where can I get it??!!”

    Adriana says, “Looks like Tamera’s wearing this Foley + Corinna dress:”

    foley2021018193_prod_medium

    “…Get it at Shopbop for $400.”
    Next, Kay says, “I love this dress on Tia Mowry:”

    tiam

    “…Can you help me find it?”
    Adriana found these similar options–add a necklace for the exact look:

    black-maxi-halter

    1. Laundry by Shelli Segal Women’s Shirred Halter Gown, $147.50. 2. ABS Black Sateen V-Neck Halter, $235. 3. Tart Black Jersey Patti Tie Front Dress, $157. 4. Norma Kamali Black Jersey Halter Dress, $171.

    Kyla says, “Ok so I’ve seen these Motorcycle Jackets on everyone but can’t seem to find one of my own! I’m in love with the one pictured here on Brooke from Harlem Heights…”

    brooke-and-christian1

    ” …Help please!!!”
    Get a Harlem Heights look with these high and low priced choices:

    motorcycle-jacket

    1. Vince Lambskin Motorcycle Jacket, $750. 2. Rag and Bone Motorcycle Jacket, $560. 3. Express Nylon Motorcycle Jacket, $128.  4. Bebe Metallic Moto Jacket, $129.

    Now for our wardrobe questions!

    Robin writes, “My cousin is getting married in two weeks, and I’m kind of on a budget. I have a cute LBD (little black dress) that I wanted to wear, but I started to think, ‘Is it ok to wear an LBD to a wedding?’ If you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it, or give me some budget friendly suggestions.”

    Vuitton says, “There shouldn’t be a problem with you wearing an LBD to a wedding, as long as you bring some color into the ensemble. The best way to do it is with shoes, so we found some budget friendly options.”

    wedding-shoe-edit-copy1

    1. Asos Cross Front Punch Shoe, $49. 2. Bakers Raegan 2, $60. 3. Satin Silk Criss Cross Front Heel, $24. 4. Steve Madden Gizella, $90.

    But if you decide to go with a black shoe, another way to liven up your look is with a colored shawl, like this $24 Pash Like Scarf from Urban Outfitters:

    14928576_73_b

    Choose any color your like, and coordinate accordingly!

    Lastly, Brittiny says, “I’m throwing a party for my Dad & the attire is white linen only. Here’s the problem: I’m not having any luck finding something to wear. Can you PLEASE help me find something that’s figure flattering (I’ve got plenty of curves) & party perfect?”

    Sure! White linen dresses are usually flowy creations, but with your curves, you’re better suited with something a bit more structured. Try these:

    white-linene

    1. Antonio Melani Quince Dress, $169. 2. French Connection Lancelot Dress, $188. 3. Pleated Swing Dress by Manoush, $490. 4. MK2K High Waist Sleeveless Dress in White, $204.

    That does it for today!

    I’m going to celebrate my new resident status with a coup de champagne!

    Have amazing weekends. Until Monday…

    Bisous!

    Splurge of the Day: Botkier Trigger Medium Satchel

    by Claire

    If you love the look of Monica’s Yellow Balenciaga, but don’t have $1,000 to spend, consider investing in this $610 Botkier Trigger Medium Satchel:

    botki2013215493_prod_medium_v1_m56577569831482720_sx201_

    You’ll get a very similar look for about half the price! And you know bright bags are the mark of a true fashionista!

    As Kimora said in Fabulosity, “A bright colored bag can completely elevate your look. Don’t automatically go for “safe” beige or black. A classic style in a bright color leather will look fresh and stylish for years!”

    Check out the Balenciaga:

    Designer Spotlight: Jose Duran

    by Claire

    So while here in Paris, I’ve been meeting and greeting lots of fashionable up and comers, including designer Jose Duran:

    jose-duran2

    A native of the Dominican Republic, Duran creates sexy, sophisticated dresses and separates with techniques so chic he’s been dubbed the next Alexander McQueen:

    jose-duran-fall-collection

    I visited his atelier today by Montmartre where we chit chatted a bit about his collection. He said, “I use lots of sheer, free hand drapes, and various cuts to offer something different and appealing.“

    jose-duran-spring-collectio

    Citing Grace Jones as a style inspiration he said, “I can see my pieces on anyone from Beyonce to Amy Winehouse.”

    jose-duran-2

    New York press has caught on, and Jose Duran’s pieces have been featured in Ebony and Giant Magazines (Yes that’s Madame Iman, wearing a white Duran creation):

    jose-duran-press

    The next step for Jose? “Showing in Paris or New York Fashion Week.” I think he can do it!

    To see more, visit his website www.joseduran.net.
