    Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Alexa from LA

    by Claire

    Today’s Bombshell is Alexa from LA:

    She says, “My style is what I like to call supreme simplicity.”


    “… I love to incorporate statement pieces in every look, be it a clothing item, accessory or pair of shoes, while the rest of the outfit remains fairly simple.”

    “… My inspiration and style varies from day to day & I love creating a different version of myself everyday through my clothing.”

    ” If I were to sum up my style in one word it would be unpredictable.”

    ” Those spur of the moment outfits are always the ones with the most character! :)”

    Alexa has a blog called I Dress, Therefore I am. Chicky check her out.

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

    Who Wore it Better? Amber Rose vs. Kim Kardashian in Mara Hoffman’s Twist One Shoulder Dress

    by Claire

    Amber Rose was recently papped shopping at Intermix wearing the same $392 Mara Hoffman Twist One Shoulder Dress Kim Kardashian wore to a Wet Republic Hawaiian Tropic party a few weeks ago:

    While Kim Kardashian went for a colorful red Charlotte Olympia Espadrille canvas platform pump with nude makeup, Amber did just the opposite with a bright red lip and a beige Jimmy Choo Lagoon Platforms.
    The summery frock has a rainbow bright and bold color palette offset by myriad shapes and a twist shoulder strap.



    Get the dress plus options to achieve both looks here:

    Weekend Makeup Idea: Bright Lip and Cheek Combo

    by Danielle

    One of my favorite makeup looks is flawless skin, a bright colored blush, an equally bright lip, and just liner and mascara on the eyes. It’s such a pretty and simple way to wear color.

    You can get the look by combining blush and lipstick colors in similar color families (when in doubt vivid peach blush looks good on every skin tone and matches with every lip color).

    Some brands with great blush colors for women of color: NARS, Illamasqua, Sleek (I just bought some blushes at $6.50 each from this brand and apparently the internet says they’re #boutthatlife. I’ll have my thoughts and swatches up when I get them in from the UK), Bobbi Brown, Black Radiance, Barry M (another cost effective UK brand with some gorgeous blushes, MAC.

    Some brands with great bright and long-lasting lipsticks: MAC, Yves Saint Laurent, Black Radiance, Stila, NARS, Dior

    So who’s wearing a bright lip and cheek combo this weekend?

    Hot! or Hmm…: Solange at the 5th Annual DKMS Gala

    by Claire

    Solange and a host of glitterati stepped out for last night’s 5th Annual DKMS Gala Honoring Rihanna & Michael Clinton At Cipriani Wall Street.
    For the event the hot momma donned a draped champagne colored Halston halter gown with gold House of Waris jewelry and strappy Jimmy Choos:

    She finished the look with a haute afro.

    Fierce!
    What do you think of Solange’s red carpet look?

    A few more pictures from the night:

    Who Wore it Better? Iman vs. Shala Monroque in Jason Wu’s Ruffled Silk-Chiffon gown

    by Claire

    Iman attended last night’s 5th Annual DKMS Gala in the same fuchsia silk chiffon Jason Wu gown stylista Shala Monroque wore to the 7th Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards back in November:

    While Shala turned it out with a blue turban, dangling earrings, and a raspberry bag, Iman opted for simplicity with a matching fuchsia clutch and a pop of turquoise jewelry.
    The $3,500 gown has ruffle details and an open back:

    Who wore it better?

    Hot! or Hmm…: Kate Middleton’s Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen Wedding Dress

    by Claire

    So…
    I ended up falling asleep last night with my contacts in and the TV on (as I do), and woke up abruptly at 4am to see the Royal Wedding streaming on E!. I’m actually talking on NPR this morning with Michel Martin and Robin Givhan about Will & Kate-gate, so decided to keep the tele switched on and watch.
    Of course I had to wait for Kate’s dress:

    The lucky lady donned a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress made from fine ivory and white satin gazar, with a bodice constructed out of hand-cut English lace, flowers, and French Chantilly lace.
    She accessorized the look with Alexander McQueen heels, a Cartier halo tiara, and Robinson Pelham earrings.


    I wanted to love the dress, but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. I was hoping for frills, taffeta, pearls, just something more dramatic and…princess-like.

    Many compared Kate’s frock to Grace Kelly’s…

    But her dress seemed more intricate. And even she turned it out with a fierce headpiece.

    At any rate, what did you think of Kate’s wedding frock?

    Mail Bombs: Beyonce in Isabel Marant, Bria Murphy’s Fendi Ankle Strap Platforms, and Christina Milian Inspired Black Jumpsuits!

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!
    What a day. I was slated to talk on NPR this morning regarding the Royal Wedding, but arrived 8 minutes too late. Le Sigh.
    If I ever needed a swift lesson in ‘Why it’s important to be punctual,’ today was the day!
    I’ve been kicking rocks all morning, though I did stop into Crystal Streets’s sample sale for a little retail therapy. After I twirled in some Jimmy Choo and Gucci heels, I definitely felt better!
    While I pledge to never be late again, let’s solve some Mail Bombs:)
    First up Kristine says, “I am dying over the color of Beyonce’s leather jacket.”

    “Who is the designer? And could you suggest some pocket friendly versions?”
    Beyonce took a stroll with Jay-Z in a blush pink number by Isabel Marant. Her jackets can run in the thousands, so I found the following options:

    More Diane von Furstenberg…
    ShopStyle

    Not quite pocket friendly, but definitely more affordable than Marant!

    Next up Brittny said, “Can you tell me who is the designer of Bria Murphy’s shoes?”

    “And where I can find something similar?
    Bria looked cute running errands in a $565 pair of Fendi light grey patent ankle wrap platform pumps:

    Get them plus options for less here:

    More Naughty Monkey…
    ShopStyle

    Jasmine spied a picture of Nicki Minaj and wanted the 411 on her bag:

    She said, “Where can I find it?”
    According to Upscale Hype , Nicki was rocking a Gucci Classics “Jockey” Large Hobo Bag that retails for $1400-$1,800:


    Lucky you, Gucci has online shopping. Scope Nicki’s bag at www.gucci.com.

    Angie was interested in Lauren Conrad’s look from the US Weekly party earlier this week:

    She says, “I need the whole thing!”
    The Girls from Get Whit it broke it down quite nicely:

    More Rebecca Minkoff…
    ShopStyle

    Several people wrote in for Christina Milian’s hot black jumpsuit:

    Isabel said, “I looove this jumpsuit. Where can I find it?”
    We weren’t able to find Christina’s exact look, but you can get a similar essence with these options:

    More Bebe…
    ShopStyle

    Lastly, in a wardrobe query, Aja says, “I’ve been wearing the same Gucci purse for about a year now, lol and I need a new one. I carry a BUNCH of stuff and I haven’t found the time to shop for any. Do you have any ideas where I can get a colorful hobo purse?”
    If you need big and colorful, we’ve got you:

    More Furla…
    ShopStyle

    Sorry for the short post, but this day has been a doozy! I’ll get back on it this weekend…after I’ve caught up on my beauty rest.
    Have Fabulous Fridays!
    Smootches!
