    Who Wore it Better? Kelis vs. Solange in nOir’s Sobat Triple Strand Beaded Necklace

    by Claire

    Yesterday Fashion Bomb fave Solange wore the same $220 noir Sobat Triple Strand Beaded Necklace Kelis wore a few weeks back to her album release party:


    Kelis wore the Kenyan inspired glass seed bead necklace with a black corset top and striped mini while Solange stuck to her quirky sensibility in a yellow patterned tank, black and white pants, and gold brogues.
    It’s a tough choice. I like how the necklace picks up on Kelis’ hair and red lips, but also love how it works with Solange’s colorful outfit. I’d say it’s a tie!

    What do you think?

    If you need the necklace yourself, get it here.
    Thanks Cute Lil Mizz!

    Claire’s Life: Lunch and Shopping with Robert Verdi

    by Claire

    Hey!

    So today, in between showing my sister around all the touristy places in Paris, I met up with stylist extraordinaire Robert Verdi who’s in town with a few of his fabulous friends:


    From Left: Robert, Jewelry Designer Luis Morais (www.luismorais.com), Moi, Robert Verdi.

    We hung out on Avenue Montaigne, and I tagged along as they popped into Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Céline. We finished our fun day with a yummy lunch at L’Avenue (it’s a must stop if you’re ever in Paris).
    It was super fun to hear about his newest projects, including his TV show on the Logo network and his cameos on Bravo’s Bethenny’s Getting Married.
    If you don’t know about Robert, check out his website at www.robertverdi.com.

    He is FABULOUS!!
    Smootches!
    PS Robert’s friend Luis Morais makes fantastic jewelry. He was rocking these droolworthy rings and I wanted to snatch them right off his fingers!

    See his designs at www.luismorais.com and www.aloharag.com.

    Look for Less,Mail Bombs Jul, 30 2010 7:38 am

    Mail Bombs: Cassie’s St. Tropez Look for Less, Brandy’s Open Toe Shoe Boots, and Affordable Silver Pumps!

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!
    So my youngest sister is in town, and we’ve been busy hitting up all the touristy spots in Paris! We’ve already been to the Pantheon and the Louvre. On today’s itineraray: The Champs Elysees, the Eiffel Tower, and the Obelisque. We’ve got a lot to do, so Mail Bombs will be short, but sweet.
    First up, Tiffani says, “I’m headed to Lollapalooza next week and would love to have Cassie’s macrame top in my arsenal, or at least something like it.”

    “Can you help?”
    We couldn’t find her exact top, but the Get Whit It girls found the following options to help you get her look for less:

    More Topshop…
    ShopStyle

    Next Giselle loved Brandy’s open toe shoe boots:

    She says, “Where can I get something like it?”
    Get Brandy’s shoe game for less with these options from Forever 21:

    More Forever 21…
    ShopStyle


    Ags says,” Can you help me find these boots?”

    “Please help me if you can.”
    I found the following cognac stilleto boots for a similar effect:

    More Bandolino…
    ShopStyle

    In a wardrobe query, Lluckie says, “My 21st birthday is coming up! I found the perfect dress for my dinner, but I haven’t had as much luck finding reasonably priced silver pumps.”

    ” Can you help me?!”
    Yup! Dance the night away in these silver stunners, all for under $150:

    More BCBGirls…
    ShopStyle

    That was super quick, but we’re running out the door!
    Stay tuned for more fabulousness throughout the day.
    Smootches!

    Fashion Bombshell of the Day : Nakira from Baltimore

    by Claire

    Reader Gina nominated her friend Nakira from Baltimore for Bombshell of the Day:

    Gina says, “[Nakira] is a blogger and an aspiring fashion editor, who marches to her own beat when it comes to style.”

    “… She loves vintage pieces, but her DIY consistently amazes me, like this purple toga dress (seen below) made just minutes before heading out. “


    “You can check out more of Nakira’s ever-changing style at www.styleonawhim.com“

    What a great way to end the week, huh? Nakira, you are positively lovely.

    And I checked out her blog–it’s the bomb!
    What do you think of today’s Bombshell?

    Weekend Makeup Idea: Teal Eyeshadow

    by Danielle

    Wherever your weekend plans take you, consider a hot teal eyeshadow to take you through it! Teal is one of those really cool colors that looks good on all shades of brown. Rock your teal eye with a nude lip or be bold and pair it with a glossy red. If you just want to dip your toes in, go with a simple line of teal on your bottom waterline.

    Some teals to try…

    Shadows:
    Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow in Turquoise Matte 72 and Turquoise Shimmer 83
    Make Up For Ever Diamond Eyeshadow in Diamond Turquoise 302
    Urban Decay Eyeshadows in Shattered, Minx, Flipside, and Haight
    Urban Decay Stardust Eyeshadow in Atmosphere
    MAC Eyeshadows in Shimmermoss, Aquadisiac, Steamy
    MAC Pigment in Teal
    CoverGirl Blast 1-Kit Shadows in Turquoise Tempest and Aqua Paradise
    L’Oreal Bright Shadow Duos in Showy and Flashy

    More Urban Decay…
    ShopStyle

    Liners:
    Sephora Collection Colorful Duo Eyeshadow in 09 Tropical Blue
    Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in 17 Turquiose
    Sephora Collection Flashy Liner Waterproof in 08 Flashy Blue
    Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Electric and Flipside
    Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Minx
    Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner in Stagedive
    Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner in Turquoise 7L

    P.S. To prolong the wear of your teal, try an eyeshadow base like MAC Paint or Urban Decay Primer Potion. To intensify it, try a base in a similar color like Make Up For Aqua Cream in 21 Turquoise and then apply your teal shadow.

    Would you rock a teal eye? Have a question? See you in the comments or contact me.

    Beyonce Launches New Fragrance: Heat Ultimate Elixir

    by Claire

    The number one diva in this game for a minute (Beyonce) is set to launch a new fragrance in September called  Ultimate Elixir:

    According to Stylelist, “Ultimate Elixir mixes spicy-floral Red Vanilla Orchid and Osmanthus petals with the sensuous notes of Cedarwood and Amber, then adds in delicious Vanilla and Tonka bean.”



    Sounds yummy, doesn’t it?
    Did anyone try Bey’s first fragrance, Heat?
    And will you be trying this one?

    Week in Chic: Melanie Fiona, Estelle, John Legend, Tolula Adeyemi and more!

    by Claire

    This week a bevy of celebrities hit the red carpet and a few parties (and after parties) to celebrate new movies, new seasons of our favorite shows and the like.  Luckily, we snatched a few pics of this week’s chicest celebs.

    My faves this week?  Estelle is killing it in her ruched dress with embellishments going down the sides.  Love the pop of turquoise and the pink shoe!  John Legend looks dapper, as per usual, in his nicely tailored suit.  And I’m loving “Glee” star, Amber Riley’s Grecian goddess dress and nude peep-toe pumps.  Perfect outfit for a summer event that requires a little dressing up.

    Who rocked it for you this week?

    ~Vuitton
