    Claire’s Life: Alicia Keys’ Birthday Party

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!
    So last night I headed downtown to Charles street to celebrate Alicia Keys’ birthday along with Swizz Beatz, Gayle King, and more:

    The party had an Egyptian theme (inspired by their son, Egypt), and many people were wearing turbans, belly dancing, and drinking African themed drinks.

    I was mid belly dance when I saw Beyonce and Jay-Z walk in. Yes, I know!! My friend forbade me from acting like a ‘groupie’ and taking a picture with them, though I did shake their hands towards the end (and snuck a picture of them enjoying Alicia’s red velvet cupcakes.)

    Beyonce looked fresh and gorgeous, and Jay-Z was super nice. I told him how much I loved Decoded, and he was appreciative. It was a fun night!

    More instances from Claire’s Life to come.
    Smootches!
    * Fun fact. Alicia’s mom took the first picture. She was so cute!

    Real Style: The Launch Party for Diesel and Adidas’ Limited Edition Sneaker Collaboration

    by Claire


    Hey!

    So before I cut a rug with Alicia Keys, I dipped down to the Diesel store to view shoes from their new collaboration with Adidas.
    As with any fashionable event, lots of Real Style abounded. Let’s take a look at a few standouts:

    Friends Matt and Makieda met while studying abroad in Paris, and their fashionable journeys brought them both to New York. I loved Matt’s gold sequin vintage tie and self made spike shoulder jean jacket. Also loved Makieda’s All Saints sweater and H&M harem pants. Hot!

    I had to stop John and JoAllen and take their picture. JoAllen (right) was rocking an Entree sweatshirt and Varsity jacket, and John shined in a Zara sweater and indie design pin.
    Atten-hut! Sean is a broadcast designer for MTV by day and a fashionisto by night. I fell in love with his Comme des Garcons heart brooch, self designed necklace, and Hermes bracelet.

    Of course I had to take pix of the sneakers themselves:

    5 classic Adidas styles were refashioned by Diesel, and only 10,000 pairs are available globally.

    What do you think of the sneakers and of New York Real Style?

    Quick Makeup Look: Kerry Washington’s Peachy Makeup at the Sundance Film Festival

    by Danielle

    Hey, it happens. You’re getting dressed for a night out and completely lose track of time. Now you have exactly 10 minutes to get out of the house but your face is as bare as Yogi (get it? bare/bear Yogi? *dodges tomatoes*).

    So here’s how this makeup looks in fast forward:

    1. After applying foundation (save time with a compact like Iman Second to None Luminous Foundation), line the eyes with a waterproof liner (like Sephora Collection Flashy Waterproof Liner in Deep Black). If you have a few extra minutes, extend the application of the liner towards the lid and smudge with either a brush like MAC #214 or the edge of a makeup wedge). Apply 2-3 coats of mascara.

    2. Apply a peachy colored blush like Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Excite (this looks good on virtually all of our skin tones). If you make a mistake and apply too much blush, just apply your face powder over it to tone it down.

    3. Last, apply a sheer pinky-coral lipstick like MAC Lipstick in See Sheer.

    And you’re done! And also hopefully out the door before your friends politely uninvite you to the next shindig.

    Tools of the Trade:

    More Sephora…
    ShopStyle

    So who’s trying this look? And if you would make any tweaks to make it your own, share those in the comments!

    Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Chan from Brooklyn

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!
    Today’s Bombshell is Chan, better known as Brooklyn Lady:

    The frequent commenter decided to send in a few pictures for our favorite feature, and also said it was cool for you guys to comment.


    She says, “I am of Jamaican and Trinidadian descent (LARGE UP ALL MY WEST INDIANS, LOL).”


    “… My style is just wearing what I find to be comfortable and most of all what I can afford.”


    “… I mix high and low end pieces. I shop every and anywhere but mostly I look for bargains. I enjoy wearing things that complement my figure but I also love LOOSE fitting clothes.”



    “.. Style is what YOU make it but most of all what YOU love/like. Our differences are what make us all unique.”


    Fashionable, Caribbean, and from Brooklyn?!? A girl after my own heart.
    What do you think of Brooklyn Lady?

    Fashion Bombshell of the Day is a feature showcasing the singular style and flair of Fashion Bomb Readers. Send your name, location, a description of your style, and your Fashion Bombshell of the Day Picture(s) to thefashionbomb@gmail.com.

    Celebrity Style,Week in Chic Jan, 27 2011 2:30 am

    This Week in Chic: Kelly Rowland, Alexandra Burke, Kerry Washington and more!

    by Claire


    Hey all!  Vuitton here with a quick rundown of a few of our favorite celebs spotted around the globe.  This week didn’t bring a lot of stars dressed to the nines in the latest couture gowns.  I’m assuming they left that up to Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week.  However, the chic meter still goes pretty high with stars giving us a taste of what they’ve got.

    My faves this week are definitely Alexandra Burke and Zoe Saldana.  I’m head over heels in love with her shoes (no pun intended).  And I also love the rich color of her plum top paired with her nude pencil skirt.  Tres chic!  Zoe Saldana’s Alexander McQueen jacket is pretty much giving me life.

    Who rocked it this week for you?

    Celebrity Style,Nicki Minaj Jan, 26 2011 12:11 pm

    Found: Nicki Minaj’s KTZ by Kokon to Zai Space Tight Moon Solar System Dress

    by Claire

    I tried to hold off on the Nicki news, but you guys have been sending tons of e-mails asking for the designer of the space age dress she wore while in London!

    Monique said, “I need that dress in my life!! Where can I find it?!?”
    Turns out Ms. Minaj was wearing a £165 ($262) Space Tight dress from the Spring/Summer 2011 cruise collection of London brand KTZ @ Kokon To Zai (www.kokontozai.co.uk).

    She paired the look with $675 Gucci Sly Web cuffed slouch boots in gray:

    The brand didn’t provide a picture of the dress, but you can see an example of the space motif in this picture from their Spring/Summer 2011 men’s collection:

    Seems Nicki is quite a fan of the London brand. She’s worn a few items from their Fall Collection for red carpet events and performances:

    See more and inquire about Nicki’s Space Tight Dress at www.kokontozai.co.uk.
