    Swagger Mondays: Nigella Spied at Broadway/Lafayette

    by Claire

    There’s no better intersection than Broadway/Lafayette in Soho to spy chic New Yorkers!

    Stylist Nigella Miller was papped by the Swagger New York team while en route to do some last minute holiday shopping:

    The Brooklyn native kept it funky with turquoise tresses, a leather sleeve wool coat, and flat lace up boots. It’s sometimes hard to find clever ways to brighten a dark winter look of grays and blacks. It looks like Nigella has it all figured out, exuding style down to her green fingertips.

    What do you think? Does she have Swagger?

    Read about the encounter and find out where to get her look at SwaggerNewYork.com

    Nickia said, “I recently spotted this FAB coat that Monica is wearing on Essence.com and have had no luck finding it. I love it so!”

    Happy Holidays From The Fashion Bomb!

    by Claire

    I wanted to take this moment to introduce a few new team members, and also wish you a very Happy Holiday!

    Pictured above are me (Claire), Jihan, and new writer Faith. Danielle is there in spirit:)  Vuitton is currently applying for fashion schools in London, so had to curtail his Fashion Bomb duties. We all know our internship winner Jihan, who has added so much fun and flavor with her daily news breakdowns. We also know and adore Danielle, whose beauty posts are a must! And we’re introducing Faith, an editor for www.urbansybaris.com, and a contributing writer to Jones Magazine and Coco + Creme.
    A big welcome to our new members, and have fab holidays Bombers and Bombshells!
    Stay tuned for Mail Bombs. We’ll be back with occasional posts next week.

    Smootches!

    Best of 2011: Fashion Bombshell of the Year

    by Claire

    Though we cover celebrity style on the daily, the true stars are our Bombshells of the Day.
    Stylistas from all over the world submit their pix to be examined by an exacting panel of anonymous judges. Not every Bombshell is a crowd favorite, but these six stood out from the pack.

    Marley from New Jersey:
    Marley caught our eyes thanks to her supremely versatile style. In addition to flaunting everything from poodle skirts to halter dresses, she showed dexterity with her hair, rocking long braids, curly ‘do’s, and cropped cuts.

    77% of 1,258 votes secured her spot as Bomshell of the Week, and reader Sticky-n-Sweet said, “I love it! Kinda retro, kinda avant garde, hair and makeup are flawless!”


    Fly Won from Indiana

    Fly Won made a splash thanks to her colorful and vintage inspired looks, along with her unquestionable confidence.

    Sun.kissed said, “Cute! Loves the colorful blazers, the corset, and bold silver earrings.”


    Patience from Zimbabwe

    Zimbabwe native Patience currently kicks it in Iowa, but still keeps it fly by way of her blog www.justpatience.com. Her bright colored shifts, patterned tights, and designer accessories secured her a whopping 90% “Hot!” rating out of 1,453 votes.

    African Mami exclaimed, “She BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!! That yellow dress is bananas, that orange get up is sexy! Yo she shut it down!!! Thanks for repping Africa real well mama!” OK!

    Karen from London


    Though Karen from www.wheredidugetthat.com is already a well known blogger, a few weeks ago she was officially crowned a Fashion Bombshell.

    Reader A-Danielle said, “Breath of fresh air,” and Antoinette added, “Amazing style! Loves it.”


    Naja from New Jersey

    Naja rocked our Bombshell feature with over 140 comments and 1,379 votes. Her vibrant hued outfits and electric smile made her a certified Fashion Bomb favorite.

    LocalCeleb gushed, “I like.. she can really put her fashion together well, LOVE her shoes,” and DCChic added, “I like how she dresses for her body type, most things I would wear, and her shoes are on point!”


    Olori Swank from Atlanta

    As a stylist, blogger, and editor, Olori Swank knows how to put pieces together to make them shine.

    Raycho_and screamed, “She is giving me LIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFEEEEEEEEEEEE,” and The.Absolute.Most said, “So much freaking style! Representing the A…!”

    Who should be Bombshell of the year?

    Reminisce on Marley’s looks here. Look back on Fly Won’s best here. Check Patience’s original post here. See more of Karen’s looks here. Get more Naja here. And see Olori Swank work it here.

    The Fashion Bomb News Breakdown: Publisher of Jackie is Not Actually Sorry for Calling Rihanna ‘N’ Word, Zara’s Semiannual Sale Starts Today, and Rihanna’s Video for You Da One

    by Jihan


    • Yves Gijrath, publisher of Jackie magazine “will not be silenced” (his words), and is redacting former Editor-in-Chief Eva Hoeke‘s apology for calling Rihanna a “niggabitch”, saying, “[T]here is nothing wrong in the magazine. [Hoeke] presented it as a joke, but it most certainly was not a joke. It was an interpretation [of a fashion style]. [...] She should have said: “we did not realize this interpretation is such a touchy subject. We never meant any harm and offer our sincere and upright apologies.” But because of all the fuss, Eva started to wiggle in all directions, and therefore we have come to the conclusion her credibility has been undermined.” Mr. Gijrath is essentially sorry that we’re dense enough to be offended, and our backlash has damaged Eva Hoeke’s precious credibility. He continues, “People are totally off limits when calling both the magazine Jackie and Eva Hoeke racist. Jackie is even produced by an editorial staff that is of mixed origins.” Yes, Yves, how can Jackie do anything racist when they have an editorial staff of “mixed origins?” Yet I wonder how this beautiful rainbow of a multicultural staff let a word so racist and glaring like “niggabitch,” slip through the cracks? I think it’s time for Mr. Gijath to take a physical and metaphorical seat. (Fashionista)

    • Tracy Reese has teamed up with Fashion Fights Cancer to design a limited edition set of tote bags. The $40 carryalls are available online and at Tracy Reese’s flagship store at 641 Hudson Street. 100% of the proceeds go to the FFC. (WWD)

    • Zara‘s semiannual sale starts today. Enjoy discounts (which get lower every week) on overpriced designer knockoffs. As a former Zara employee, I beg of you, please try to keep the t-shirt tables neat when you’re shopping the sale. Don’t throw them around all willy-nilly. It’s hard and extremely stressful for the sales associates to constantly fold and refold them! (Racked)

    • Ivanka Trump‘s people are firing back at Derek Lam, saying their charges of copyright infringement are unfounded. Marc Fisher, producer of Ms. Trump’s shoe line says: “The Lam wedge sandals are of a popular design type that has been used by numerous manufacturers for many decades. There is nothing iconic about the appearance of the Lam sandal…The Ivanka Trump sandals prominently display the Ivanka Trump name, and there can be no confusion as to the source of the Ivanka Trump sandals. Therefore, Marc Fisher Footwear, the licensee of the Ivanka Trump brand, strongly denies Lam’s claims.” (WWD)


    • And in case you’re not tired of hearing news about Rihanna, here’s the full video for her new single You Da One (Hello Beautiful)
