    Style Inspiration: What to Wear to Your Bridal Shower

    by Claire

    A reader by the name of ‘Soon to be Mrs. C,‘ wrote in saying, “I’m getting married in September and my bridal shower is in July. What does one wear to one’s own bridal shower??”
    Great question! I recently attended one of my good friend’s bridal showers and she looked positively lovely in a one shoulder fuchsia knee length cocktail and gray Vivienne Westwood x Melissa heels. Her makeup and hair were whipped to the gods–perfect for greeting guests! So my only advice to you (aside from looking pretty) would be that if you wear a dress or a skirt, make sure it’s long enough. My friend opened her presents while sitting on a chair, surrounded by people who were both on couches and on the floor. You don’t want to flash all your friends as you sit in their midst opening gifts! Add some kick to your ensemble with a pair of fun shoes and a funky bag to boot:

    I tried to keep prices down, how did I do?

    *If you’re a guest, you can use these rules, too.

    On the Huffington Post: Howard University Students are the 2nd Best Dressed Undergrads in the Nation

    by Claire

    Seems there’s no rolling to class in pajamas and Uggs for Howard University undergrads!
    According to a Huffington Post article on the Best Dressed Colleges, Howard students rank #2  after New York University:

    Citing Women’s Wear Daily, the article says, “Students dress to convey “an air of confidence, a sense of where they’re going” — thanks to bright pink blazers, bold animal prints, vintage blouses and slim-cut letterman jackets.”

    Other schools on the list included Florida State University (#3), Parsons the New School of Design (#4), University of Southern California (#5), and the University of Arizona (#6).
    Not surprisingly my alma mater didn’t make the list. We would probably rank as worst dressed. Ha.
    Read the full Huffington Post article here.
    Reminisce on Howard University style with this vintage Fashion Bomb Article.
    Do you agree with the list?

    Splurge: Mary J Blige’s 2011 BET Awards Performance Giuseppe Zanotti Gold Metal and Calfskin Belt

    by Claire


    I was going to save this one for Friday Mail Bombs, but readers are literally clamouring to find out the make of Mary J Blige’s 2011 BET Awards performance belt!

    While we found her super affordable $130 Steve Madden wedges, almost every other comment said, “I like the belt though, where’d she get that?”
    Mary mixed high and low, wearing a $775 Giuseppe Zanotti gold leather and calfskin belt with her white jumpsuit:

    The bustier belt has a light gold-colored metal plate and is now on sale for $544 at www.giuseppezanottidesign.com.
    Before you ask for the look for less, I’ll say there isn’t one that I’m aware of.
    If you know of a similar belt, let us know in the comments. The other options? Save up or get it poppin with a DIY project!
    Now that you know the price, will you purchase?

    Wardrobe Query: Lola Monroe’s 2011 BET Awards Falguni & Shane Peacock Dress

    by Claire


    I hope you non celeb obsessed readers can bear with us as we forge through these 2011 BET Awards wardrobe requests!
    Ayanna says, “ I was wondering if there was any way you guys can tell me the designer or brand of Lola Monroe’s dress from the 2011 BET awards?? “

    “…I think her outfit and hair were smoking and I would love something similar for an upcoming event!!!”
    Lola wore a Fall/Winter 2011 abstract dress with sheer details by Fulgani & Shane Peacock for the festivities:

    Falguni & Shane Peacock have an online shop on their site, but it doesn’t seem to work on my computer.
    Try your luck at www.falgunishanepeacock.com.

    Work it, Lola!

    Get the Makeup Look: Keri Hilson Pretty in Pink at the Post BET Awards Dinner

    by Danielle

    Kerry Hilson radiated with glowing skin and pretty pink makeup while attending the post BET Awards Show dinner. What’s great about this look is it works on our range of brown skin from French vanilla to chocolate deluxe (© Wu-Tang). Wanna steal her look? Read on!

    1. After cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your face according to your skin type, cover any discoloration with a creamy concealer like BECCA Compact Concealer then set with powder (try Black Opal Deluxe Finishing Powder). It’s summer so you want coverage but don’t want anything too heavy.

    2. For the eyes, apply an eyeshadow base like MAC Paint all over the lid. Then grab a shimmer pinky-coral eyeshadow like MAC Paradisco (try NYX Tropical if you’re a drugstore diva) and blend it onto the lid. Blend a matte eyeshadow about 2-3 shades lighter than your skin tone on your brow bone. Line the eyes with a black waterproof pencil and apply 2-3 coats of mascara. For extra flair, apply corner lashes. To finish off the look apply a reddish plum shimmery shadow with an eyeliner brush like MAC #266 to the area right under the lower lash line.

    3. Get a glow like Keri by dusting a mineral bronzer like Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Bronzer to the tops of the cheekbones and lightly across the temples. Add a touch of color to the cheeks with a coral blush like Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Tweak.

    4. Top it all off with a deep pink lipstick like Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Embrace. To keep your makeup put, spritz with a setting spray like Ben Nye Final Seal Matte Makeup Spray.

    The Fashion Bomb News Breakdown: Bronx Street Fashion, Rent The Runway To Sell Makeup, and Naomi Campbell for Givenchy Fall 2011

    by Jihan

    • Here’s something you don’t see like, ever! The New York Daily News has a street style piece featuring fashionistas shopping on Fordham Road in (I can’t believe I’m saying this) The Bronx. This is a rarity, as most street style subjects are photographed in Manhattan or some woefully hipster-tastic part of Brooklyn. As a proud resident of The Bronx, it’s nice to see The X on the come-up! Just don’t tell the hipsters, else there will be mass gentrification faster than you can grow an ironic mustache. (NYDN)

    • Rent the Runway, a Fashion Bomb favorite, is partnering with Lancôme to sell select makeup products on their website. So after you rent that Stella McCartney gown, you can add a complimentary lipstick to your cart. And no, you will not be able to rent makeup… because that’s just gross! (Fashionista)

    • Designer Hussein Chalayan, whose frocks have been worn by the likes of Rihanna and Michelle Obama, says one of his biggest regrets is not working with Tom Ford. “I was devastated. Tom doesn’t even know that. He told me I was too avant-garde. I thought ‘Tom you are so wrong.” Ford is an amazing designer, but after losing him, Chalayan worked with Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen instead. So really, I can’t understand what he’s so broken up about. (Stylelist)

    •Want an ‘it’ bag but don’t have an older superstar sister to buy 25 of them for your birthday? Try copping a Thursday Friday tote bag with a very real-looking screen print of one of Miu Miu‘s popular leather shoulder bags. The best part? No one will steal it. (Refinery29)

    • Naomi Campbell will be featured in Givenchy‘s fall ad campaign sitting on a printed cushion, roaring for the camera. This should be interesting. (WWD)

    Jeffrey Westbrook for Harper’s Bazaar.

    • In anticipation for the movie The Smurfs (in theaters July 29th) Harper’s Bazaar outfitted film star Smurfette in Dolce & Gabbana, Lanvin, and Marc Jacobs. Hmm, can’t decide if this is super cute or oddly creepy. (Harper’s Bazaar)

    Wardrobe Query: Rihanna’s Club Playhouse Spiked Necklace

    by Claire

    Beauty blogger Afrobella was cruising on Necole Bitchie and spied Rihanna leaving Club Playhouse wearing a lovely spiked necklace:

    She said, “Can you help me find this necklace? I need it in my life!”
    You can get Rihanna’s spiked look with these options:

    More Ben-Amun…
    ShopStyle


    Rih is a certified fan of Ben Amun, so I’d wager she wore that option, and allowed the length of the necklace to trail down her back.

    Hope those work!
