    Mail Bombs: Kelly Rowland in Georges Chakra, Rihanna in Herve Leger, Fun Varsity Jackets, and Stylish Clip On Earrings!

    by Claire

    Happy Friday Y’all!
    The countdown begins for my trip back to Paris! No, I’m not moving back, just covering a few shows for Vogue.it! I’m excited to go to the shows (and stock up on stinky cheese).
    At any rate, let’s solve some Mail Bombs!
    First up, Jennifer says, “Where can I get the dress Kelly Rowland wore to the amfAR Toronto Gala?”


    “I’d love to wear something like that on my birthday!”

    A quick search found Kelly wore a Spring 2011 Edition Georges Chakra dress in white satin (similar to this):

    The $3,000 dress boasts crystal beading and horizontal pleated details.
    Find purchase details at www.georgeschakra.com or www.estisonly.com or get a similar look for less with these:

    Next up, Cara says, “Where can I get Rihanna’s white dress?”

    “Or something similar?”
    Rihanna is wearing a $2,850 dress from Herve Leger’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection:

    Get a similar look for much less with these options:

    More Raw 7…

    Nicole says, “I was watching 106 & Park 2 weeks ago and Rocsi had on the cutest letterman/varsity jacket. Although I don’t have a picture of it, I was wondering if you would know where to get a decently priced letterman jacket.”


    Hey! Unfortunately I didn’t see the episode, but can imagine what type of jacket you’re looking for. Check out a few Varsity/Letterman jackets and sweaters I found:

    More BDG…
    ShopStyle

    In a wardrobe query, Mikala says, “I recently purchased this dress and I have no idea what type of shoe to pair it with.”


    ” I’m open to many suggestions from classy to funky. I am thinking about wearing this dress to a luncheon or out at night with my friends in DC. I would like to find a shoe in a good price range for a college student.”

    Hey! Since the dress has a lot going on in terms of color, I’d say play it safe with a neutral shoe in a fun gold metallic that picks up on the gilded thread accentuating the dress’ waist and neckline. If you really want to funk it up, I’d say you could get away with something sparkly–even sequins. Check out a few options for $100 or less:

    More Michael Antonio…
    ShopStyle

    Lastly, Francesca from Kansas City says, “I can’t wear earrings on my left ear because of a scar on it that left it unpierceable. I would usually wear hairstyles that cover up that ear and then wear only one earring on my other ear. I’ve been like this for years and it never really bothered me that much. I would pull my hair back sometimes and wear nothing at all but you could tell something is missing, or at least that a pair of earrings would’ve been a great addition. So, I’ve been looking for some clip on earrings that I can use every now and then. I haven’t been successful so far, I found a few that were so uuuggllyyy! Lol. You know what a ponytail, fresh make up, pink lips and killer earrings can do to a woman!”

    ” Anyway, I was wondering if you could locate some nice stylish clip on earrings for me as I am sure someone in the fashion world may have thought of that, I can’t be the only one earring impaired!”
    Lucky you, there are tons of stylish clip on earrings. We found you a host of hoops, chandeliers, and of course studs. Take a look:

    More Charm & Chain…
    ShopStyle

    That does it! I’m spending the rest of the day preparing for my trip (and maybe even investing in a new camera). Stay tuned!
    Smootches!

    Weekend Hair and Makeup Idea: Rock a Pompadour and a Bright Lip

    by Danielle


    It’s Friday!
    Wherever your weekend plans take you (mine took me to Georgia to surprise my fam for my niece’s Sweet 16—they had no clue I was coming–I just rang the doorbell and POW! lol) consider this look that works on everyone no matter if your hair is short, long, relaxed, or natural or if your skin is french vanilla, caramel, or chocolate deluxe.

    A pompadour and a bright lip.
    Shingai Shoniwa is no stranger to this fun combination. The English singer of Zimbabwean descent and vocalist for indie rock group Noisettes is known to rock high hair with orange, pink, or red lips.

    The hair is super simple to do and only requires your hands and a few cute hair clips or bobby pins. Simply gather the hair loosely at the sides and secure it down with some pins. You can create either a large “poof” and leave some hair out in the back or also pin the back up.

    Adorn your ‘do with these cute clips:

    More Forever 21…

    As for the lips–check out our guide to wearing a bright lip: Weekend Makeup Idea: Wear a Bright Red Lip, Barbie and Bright Pink Lips for Skin of Color, and Rock a Bright Lip.

    So who’s trying this look? And if not, what look will you be rocking this weekend?

    Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Patrice from New York

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!
    Rounding out this week of Bombshells is Patrice aka Living Fly on a Dime, from New York:

    She says, “I guess I would describe my every day style as casual chic. I’m rarely without a pair of heels (I’m 5’2 and have a serious Napoleon complex) but I love the casual look of skinny jeans.”

    ” I try to always wear at least one statement piece, whether it’s a bold pattern, flashy necklace or fly pair of heels. I also love wearing fun, girly outifts.”

    “…I’m an avid thrift shopper and don’t think I’ve ever spent more than a few bucks on items from Topshop, Zara, Michael Kors, Tracy Reese, etc. I actually just started a Thrifty Threads 365 challenge on my blog, Living Fly on a Dime, where I only purchase clothes from thrift stores for a year. I live by the idea that style is intrinsic and has nothing to do with a price tag or labels.”

    Very cool! I actually recognize Ms. Fly on a Dime from the frequent comments she leaves on the blog. She’s a true Fashion Bombshell!
    Check her out at www.livingflyonadime.com, www.twitter.com/livingflyonadime, and www.facebook.com/LivingFlyOnADime.
    What say you of her style?

    Hot! or Hmm…: Rihanna in Emilio Pucci at Matt Kemp’s Birthday Party

    by Claire

    Rihanna attended boyfriend Matt Kemp’s birthday party at Drai’s nightclub in LA wearing an animal print long sleeve dress from Emilio Pucci’s Fall/ Winter 2010 line:

    She accented her red hair with green eyeshadow, and accessorized her look with $950 Jimmy Choo private strappy sandals:

    I actually like this look!

    The only thing that would make it a hmmm? Rihanna’s sour expression.

    Why so mad, Rih?
    What do you think?

    Hey Hey!
    We’re back with another outfit idea to help you incorporate some of Fall 2010′s hottest trends. Today, we give you military chic:

    Slip on an olive green top with skinny jeans and knee high buckle boots. Capture the military look with a multibuttoned khaki jacket, then make the look your own with chunky gold jewelry and red accents.

    Men’s Fashion Flash: Street Etiquette’s Black Ivy

    by Claire

    My homies Trav & Josh of fly blog Street Etiquette, www.streetetiquette.com, assembled a bunch of their handsome preppy friends for a photo shoot and video called Black Ivy:

    In varsity jackets, pressed or cuffed khakis, blazers, and smart readers, the guys pay homage to the men who paved the way at schools of higher education like Howard and Morehouse.
    Check out their video here:

    The Black Ivy from Street Etiquette on Vimeo.


    Prep = love. And I LOVE this!! And can I say how proud I am of the guys from Street Etiquette? I actually ran into them in New York as they were on their way to yet another shoot with GQ magazine. Love to see young men doing the dern thing (and looking good while doing so).
    What do you guys think?

    Fashion Bombshell of the Day : Jennifer from Atlanta

    by Claire

    Hey!

    Today we have yet another ATL Bombshell: Jennifer.


    She says, “My style is all over the place. I can be edgy, vintage, casual, dressy, whatever. It all depends on how I feel or where I get my inspiration from.”

    “If I like it, I wear it. Period. As for right now, I’m really liking high-waisted skirt, shorts, pants and blazers. So whatever style that is, that’s what I’m rocking currently.”

    “… I like to have fun with my clothes. When I’m picking a outfit, I feel I get a chance to be whoever I want to be that day. “

    Cute looks, Jennifer! Love your style, though I do wish we could’ve seen you sans sunglasses for just one pic.
    What do you think of her style?
    Oh and check out Jennifer’s blog, www.naturalbombshell.blogspot.com.
