    The Fashion Bomb Backstage: Mataano Style Week Jamaica 2011

    by Claire

    Hey!
    Last night we enjoyed the womenswear presentations at Style Week Jamaica 2011. The party went down at Fort Charles, Port Royal, on a seemingly mile long runway through a crowd full of Jamaica’s most stylish fashionphiles. Before watching the show, I stopped backstage to take a few pictures of models for designer Mataano (who we wrote about here). To refresh your memory, Mataano, created by twins Ayaan and Idyl Mohallim, is a line of 70′s inspired separates earmarked for anything from a chic resort to a wild summer safari.
    Check out a few snaps of the scene backstage:






    Gorgeous, right?

    Steal: Selena Gomez’s Willow and Clay Crochet Sweater

    by Claire

    Reader Kyla says, “Where can I find the netted top Selena Gomez is wearing?”


    “…And how should it be worn? (beach, casual outing, bbq etc.)”
    Selena took a stroll with boo Justin Bieber in a $78 Willow and Clay Crochet Sweater:

    The open weave top can be worn to the beach over a bikini à la Selena or with a like colored tank underneath.
    See how other celebs rock a similar crochet look here:

    Claire’s Life: Style Week Jamaica 2011

    by Claire

    Hey!
    So if you follow me on Twitter, you’d know I’ve been spending lots of time by the pool since I came to Kingston. Though Style Week Jamaica is 4 days long there are only two days of shows (womenswear is tonight) and we have the afternoons free because it’s generally too hot to sit anywhere until the sun goes down. Yesterday I slipped on my Keith Haring x Patricia Field top and spent quality time with friends old and new.
    Check out a few flicks:

    The Fashion Bomb and Indashio. You may remember Indashio from Vh1′s Glam God, but he’s been a stylist and designer for years.

    I’ve been rocking hard with my Dolce & Gabbana aviators. And I took Danielle’s makeup suggestion and wore coral lipstick.

    Vintage earrings from Brooklyn’s Hooti Couture. Zebra Minx.

    I’ve taken to wearing a stylish fanny pack. It’s fun, why not?

    Good times.
    Many thanks to Rachel aka The Greyest Ghost for snapping these pictures with her super fancy camera. A DLSR is definitely on my wish list for June…so stay tuned for more Claire’s Life:)
    Smootches!

    Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Tanesha from San Francisco

    by Claire

    Happy Friday!
    Today’s Bombshell is the lovely Tanesha from San Francisco, California:

    The diva is a blogger for GirlWithCurves.tumblr.com:

    She says, “My blog is a source of outfit inspiration and style advice for curvy fashionistas.”


    On her site, she says, “I shop everywhere! From Forever 21 to thrift stores, BCBG and Bloomingdales.”

    “… Style isn’t based on the designer label you’re wearing- it’s all in the details of your outfit and how you make the look your own (but that’s just my opinion).”

    Who Should Be the Next Fashion Bomb Intern?

    by Claire

    So it’s been a full and fun week trying out candidates for The Fashion Bomb internship contest!
    Dozens applied, four finalists were chosen, and those four were given one simple assignment: create engaging content that sticks to what we do on the day-to-day, but adds a bit of flourish.

    Today, you guys choose who performed the best under pressure and who should receive the $1,000 stipend and a chance to join the growing Fashion Bomb Squad.
    Here’s a recap of who did what.

    Intern 1:

    Intern 1 introduced us to cool jewelry brand Neivz, and found a chic look for less for Rihanna’s 2011 Billboard Awards crisp white suit.

    See her posts here and here.

    Intern 2:


    ‘Tern 2 broke the news on Balmain’s lower priced diffusion line, then oozed about her love for Noir’s Pirates of the Caribbean Jewelry collection.

    She closed out the day with a few Memorial Day themed ‘fits, a news item on an eco-friendly Burberry trench, and a look at Oprah’s fashion throughout the years.

    See her posts here, here, here, here, and here.

     

    Intern 3:


    Madame 3 focused on chic finds like Nicholas Kirkwood x Keith Haring’s collection and a cool store called Fruition Las Vegas:

    Reminisce here and here. Almost forgot: Intern 3 also came up with the idea for this Hot or Hmm featuring Ciara:


     

    Intern 4:

    Our final candidate melded music with style in her video themed Style Inspirations:

    Then closed out her tryout with a look at Rachel Zoe approved ‘excessories‘:

    See her posts here and here.

    The interns were able to suggest several different subjects, but I only published their most interesting offerings.

    Who piqued your interest the most? Who should be our next intern?

    Good luck to everyone!
    *Voting ends Monday at 9am

    Weekend Makeup Idea: Coral Lipstick

    by Danielle


    Kick off the unofficial start of summer this weekend with a cool coral lip! The peachy-pink color looks great on a variety of skin tones and just screams summer. Wear it with little else on the face like some bronzer, a coral blush and black liner. Go full-on with the color and wear it with a contrasting eye color like green shadow or liner. Or get really punchy and pair your coral lip with bright pink tones in shadow and blush.

    Some coral lip colors to try:
    Sleek Makeup True Color Lipstick in Coral Reef
    Sleek Makeup True Color Lipstick in Papaya Punch
    MAC Lipstick in Costa Chic
    MAC Lipstick in Vegas Volt
    MAC Lipstick in Crosswires
    MAC Lipglass in Lychee Luxe
    MAC Lipglass in Pink Lemonade
    Wet N’ Wild Megalast Lip Color in Coral-ine
    Make Up For Ever Lab Shine Lip Gloss in S24 pearly coral
    Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in #38 satin coral
    Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté in #27 Rose Paris
    Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté in #30 Faubourg Peach

    More Make Up For Ever…

    Will you be trying a coral lip?

    Mail Bombs: Keri Hilson’s Paul & Joe Jaspire Silk-Crepe Halterneck Jumpsuit, Rihanna’s LAX Pink Nike Air Zenyth Sneakers, and Jennifer Hudson’s Givenchy Woven Leather Wedges!

    by Claire

    Hey!
    So Jamaica is irie. We’re having a great time! I can’t wait to explore all the nooks and crannies, hit the beach, and see the hottest style stars from the island. I’m heading off to the pool in 5,4,3,2…but first, let me solve some Mail Bombs.
    Carmen says, “Keri Hilson wore this white pantsuit to host a party at Haze Night Club. I think it would be perfect for a 4th of July white party I’m attending.”

    “… Can you tell me who made it??”
    Based on the halter neck and wide legs, I’d wager Keri wore this $1,000 Paul & Joe Jaspire silk-crepe halterneck jumpsuit to the party at Haze:

    The chic piece has a low scoop back, exaggerated wide legs, a concealed zip and hook fastening at the side (plus halter straps long enough to fashion into an intricate bow). Get it plus a few options for less here:

    More Asos…
    ShopStyle

    In another Keri Mail Bomb, Brianna says, “Can you find me a look for less for this outfit Keri Hilson is wearing?”

    Get Keri’s look by pairing a blue bustier with satin parachute pants and caged black sandals:

    More McQ by Alexander McQueen…
    ShopStyle

    Next up, Samerra says, “I need help finding this jacket worn by Nicki….”

    “… or something similar for less.”
    The only thing I could find that would give you a similar Nicki essence is this $219 Lafayette 148 New York Xavier Faux-Leather Jacket:

    Get it from Neiman Marcus Last Call. Remember, you get an extra 30% off your entire purchase through the weekend. Hurry up and buy!

    Melissa saw this picture of Rih Rih in LAX and needed info on her sneaks:

    She said, “Can you please tell me the style name of the Nikes Rih has on? I tried to search the Nike website but they weren’t on there.”

    According to Upscale Hype, Rihanna wore a Nike Sweatsuit and $995 Prada logo denim back with these hot pink $90 Nike Air Zenyth Sneakers:

    A quick visit to www.Nike.com found the shoe only in all blue, purple, and black. Hopefully they’ll restock the pink version soon.

    Lastly, Latanya spied this picture of Jennifer Hudson from a few weeks back and needed her shoes:

    She says, “Can you tell me the designer?”
    Yep! Jenny was rocking with these $952 Givenchy brown woven leather platform wedges from Bluefly.com:

    It seems there’s only one pair left, so if you love ‘em, get ‘em now.
    That does it for this lovely Friday.
    Have fantastic long weekends and stay tuned later today for our Bombshell.
    Smootches!
