It’s the Friday before a long weekend!Â
Let’s not waste a minute!
First, Loria from Houston loved Kerry Washington’s look at the BET Honors Awards:She says, “I’m looking for a dress in this style in white, cream, or off-white. Can you help?“
Hey there! I found this ABS by Allen Schwartz One Shoulder Beaded Gown……that fits the bill. Get it for $528 at www.nordstrom.com.
If that’s too pricey, I think this Rachel Pally Long Twist Shoulder Dress could work……get it for $242 at shopbop.com
Where you going in that dress, girrrl?
Reader Nieisha must also have a hot party to go to, because she loved Kim Kardashian’s look from New Years Eve……she says, “Kim looked so hot on New Years Eve. Who makes her dress?!?â€
Kim is wearing a Just Cavalli creation, which seemed to be tailored just for her. You can get a similar dress with this $595 Just Cavalli Butterfly Print Dress……from Saks.
Um, where’s the party?
Now, what would a Mail Bombs post be without a question about Rihanna???
Golden Honey says, “Can you please help me find the top portion of Rihanna’s dress?â€â€œ...I suppose it is corset, but I would prefer something without a belt just plain. Maybe a Corset definitely not a tube top. Please help!!â€
Try these:Left to Right: Coleen McLaughlin Cupped Satin Corset, $80, www.asos.com; Strapless Corset, $58, www.victoriassecret.com;Â Seamless Bustier, $78, www.victoriassecret.com.
Next, reader Stacey says, “Girl! I need your help. I need this dress in my life!““…Please help me find it or something like it. I love the color combination for spring!“
Hey! You’ve got great taste! That’s a Diane von Furstenberg creation from her Spring 2007 line. (I know, I have it in black!)
That dress is long gone from stores, but you can get a similar look (I think) with this Sleeveless Deep V-Neck Mini Dress……for $168 at www.ronherman.com. If that doesn’t work, there’s always eBay!
Next, Mecca says, “I have a girlfriend that is really in love with these $200 boots from Ugg’s, but does not want to pay a fortune for it…“
“…Can you help me find a similar boot for less?“
Well, those boots aren’t quite my taste, but ask and ye shall receive. I couldn’t find floral embroidered suede boots, but I did find the following Wellie Styles that could give off the same effect…Left to Right: ASOS Printed Flower Wellie Boot, $41, www.asos.com; Flower Stripe Rain Boots, $20, www.target.com.
…throw on some wool socks and you’ll be fine in a snowstorm!  For less than $50, you can’t go wrong!

Hey! You’re right, the shoes are fierce! The look, not so much.
Erykah’s no bag lady, as she’s sporting these $675 Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Canvas Pumps…

If you don’t have an extra $675 hidden under your bed, I felt that these Ilonna Peep Toe’s by Guess…

..could give off a similar effect if worn with pants. Get ’em for $109 at www.endless.com.
Lastly, a question for the group:
Jess says, “Call me cheap but I just can’t make myself pay top dollar for leggings. In a pinch I purchased a couple of $26 pairs at American Apparel but felt ripped off. I found cheaper pairs elsewhere but found the weight and quality not to my satisfaction. Can you recommend a place to get a good, sturdy, comfy pair of leggings for less than $20?“
