    Style Inspiration: Kelis’ Video for 4th of July

    by Claire

    I recently caught Kelis‘ video for her single 4th of July, and was blown away by her scintillating style choices.

    Kelis gyrates to her techno driven song in everything from one shoulder gold sequined dresses with high slits to white fringed gowns worn with Native American inspired headpieces:

    Kelis can go a little over the top at times, but in this video she was spot on. Her lashes were poppin, her face was beat, and her wardrobe married disco and funk–perfect for you to try in these last days of summer.

    Get an inspired look with these items:

    And if you haven’t seen the video, watch it here:

    What do you think of the song, video, and Kelis’ Look?

    Designer Spotlight: Jewel by Lisa

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!
    Today I wanted to re-introduce you to Jewel by Lisa (www.jewelbylisa.com.ng), a Nigerian line that specializes in beaded, sequined, crystal encrusted Ankara fabric. Each piece of the collection is meant to fuse traditional West African print with an ultra-modern vibe.

    Jewel by Lisa typically shows in the Arise Fashion Show (we reviewed the show here), and sets itself apart from the crowd by mixing patterns and playing with color and adornments. The Fall/Winter 2010 collection (above) features fun A-line cocktail dresses and funky separates, along with traditional silhouettes, like band jackets, fashioned out of bold fabric.

    Kelis is actually a fan, and has been spied wearing the brand’s dresses and skirts for recent performances and appearances:
    What do you think?

    See more of the collection at www.jewelbylisa.com.ng.

    Kelis, Solange Knowles, Who Wore it Better Jul, 30 2010 4:41 pm

    Who Wore it Better? Kelis vs. Solange in nOir’s Sobat Triple Strand Beaded Necklace

    by Claire

    Yesterday Fashion Bomb fave Solange wore the same $220 noir Sobat Triple Strand Beaded Necklace Kelis wore a few weeks back to her album release party:


    Kelis wore the Kenyan inspired glass seed bead necklace with a black corset top and striped mini while Solange stuck to her quirky sensibility in a yellow patterned tank, black and white pants, and gold brogues.
    It’s a tough choice. I like how the necklace picks up on Kelis’ hair and red lips, but also love how it works with Solange’s colorful outfit. I’d say it’s a tie!

    What do you think?

    If you need the necklace yourself, get it here.
    Thanks Cute Lil Mizz!

    Mail Bombs: Kelis’ Butterfly Print Romper, Jada Pinkett Smith’s Chloe Shorts, and Beyonce’s London Look!

    by Claire

    Happy Friday y’all!
    It’s super hot here in Paris. I’m staying indoors and sitting in front of a fan:)
    Let’s solve some Mail Bombs!
    First, Alyssa says, “I just saw the pic of Kelis in Times Square and I love the romper and sandal combination she has going on.”

    ” Can you tell me where I could find them or something similar?”

    According to the Get Whit it Girls , Kelis is wearing Ms. Selfridge’s Butterfly Print Playsuit:


    The cute navy playsuit is only 17 pounds (approximately $25) and features fun ruffle sleeves. Get yours here.
    No luck finding her exact shoes (yet), but you can get similarly bold flats with these options:

    Next, Akilah from Toronto says, “Can you tell me where I can find this pair of shorts or something similar?”

    Yup!
    A quick search found Jada is wearing a pair of Chloé Spring 2010 RTW Shorts:

    Naima fell in love with Beyonce’s shopping look and needed to have it:

    She says, “It’s super cute!”
    The Get Whit It Girls found the following:

    Lastly, in a wardrobe query, Mikele said, “I was perusing another fave blog of mine, Where did you Get That?, when I saw this dress.”

    “… Can you pleeeeease help me find something with a similar cut? Thanks!!!”
    Sure! Try these on for size:

    More T-Bags…

    That does it for today! Tonight I’m watching the World Cup with friends. Hopefully things won’t get too crazy:)
    Hope you guys have fabulous weekends!

    Beyonce, Celebrity Style, Kelis, Rachel Roy, Serena Williams, Week in Chic Jul, 8 2010 8:30 am

    This Week in Chic: Beyonce, Rachel Roy, Venus Williams & more!

    by Vuitton

    After the holiday, not too many of the stars were out– they were probably recuperating from the Independence Day Festivities!

    But the ones we managed to catch looking great this week are some of our old faithfuls. Check it out:



    My faves?  First Lady Obama looked amazing (as per usual) in her printed skirt and staple cardigan.  And I’m absolutely in love with Kelis’ romper and neon green gladiator sandals.  Venus also looks great too, mixing elements of dressing up and dressing down with her asymmetrical dress and cute flat sandals.

    Who reigned supreme for you this week?

    Beyonce, Fashion, Hot or Hmm, Kelis, Kelly Rowland Jun, 14 2010 8:30 am

    Weekend Hot! or Hmm…: Kelly Rowland, Kelis, Will and Jada Smith, & more!

    by Vuitton

    Hey all! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.  Vuitton here with a rundown of who rocked it this weekend, and who, well…just didn’t.  From the Tony Awards to appearances and performances, let’s take a look to see who was hot and who left us with our hands on our chins.

    First up, Mr. and Mrs. Smith…
    When these two hit the red carpet, they never cease to amaze me. Will’s jacket is simply superb and is very run-by worthy. I especially love the width of the lapel; giving his upper body some breadth. Hot! Jada and her gorgeous tan vamped it up in this short burgundy number with origami like details. My mouth literally fell open at the sight of her…and I mean that in the best way possible. Sky-high Louboutin’s complete her look. Hot!

    And speaking of power couples, Beyoncé and Jay-Z also attended the Tony’s…

    I’m glad I happened upon this pic of the power couple. Beyonce knocked this one out of the park wearing a purple gown and gorgeous emerald chandelier earrings. And Jay-Z wore a nicely tailored tuxedo. Not much to run home to the kids about on his end, but together they look hot!

    Another one of our faves, Kerry Washington, was there as well…

    …with an umbrella holder at her side.  Kerry Washington rarely disappoints wherever she goes, but this look did make me go hmm…  While her Grecian frock and peep-toe platforms are stunning, something about her lilac inlay has me scratching my head.  Though a soft color, to me, it just doesn’t fit in the color scheme of the rest of her ensemble.

    Cassie showed us that home is where the heart is by hitting up the 53rd Annual Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC…

    I love how she’s a girl who plays up her outfit with accessories by wearing just the right amount.  Love the earrings and the big a$$ chain on her.  She kept it cool and laid back with a yellow top, khaki shorts, and those lustworthy studded Louboutin sneakers.  Another one added to my run-by list.  Hot!

    Kelly Rowland made her way to the Hamptons this weekend at the AXE Lounge…

    Kelly’s yellow body-con dress looks great on her, but I’m not feeling the peep-toe booties with her dress.  A platform sandal would’ve probably looked better and brought out more of a summer vibe.

    And last, but certainly not least, Kelis performed at L.A Pride this weekend…

    While many of you didn’t approve of the red hair (myself included), you have to admit Kelis has a body that just won’t quit!  Her long gams were accessorized by a fierce pair of teal hidden platform pumps, and the pink suit reminds of a modern day 80’s woman.  Hot!

    My faves?  Jada and definitely Kelis.  Who did it this week for you?
