Hey Hey Bombshells!
Yesterday I headed to the Hamptons to sample and smell Sean John’s newest scent for women, “Empress.“
As the female counterpart to Diddy’s ‘I am King’ fragrance, Empress has a crisp, fruity smell, with a musky overtone that offers a slight masculine edge.
Diddy apparently designed the fragrance with a powerful, modern woman in mind, so tapped songstress Kelly Rowland as its ambassador. About 15 other bloggers, including Micah Jesse, Love Brown Sugar, and Jessica of the Glamazons Blog took a limo bus to the Ciroc Cabana Club in Sag Harbor to listen to tunes, munch on food from STK, sip Ciroc, and smell Empress:
For the occasion, I pulled out my consummate ‘Hamptons’ outfit: a Billie romper by Boxing Kitten and United Nude Möbius sandals (yes I partook in their fantastic 50% off summer sale!):
I also blinged it out in my favorite bangles by Jessie Adore and an “I’m Fly” ring by Melody Ehsani:
Of course I couldn’t go to the Hamptons without my vintage sunnies from Screaming Mimi’s and my new white Iphone! How else can one tweet in all that sun?
I added a few finishing touches: OPI black shatter polish over Ciate long lasting nail polish in big yellow taxi, a Claire necklace I got made on Broadway in Soho (I thought it was fun!), and a purple bag I found on London’s Brick Lane:
It was perfect to chill by the poolside with a few of my favorite peeps from the blogosphere:
Kelly Rowland actually showed up, but was in a super duper rush, so aside from a speech, didn’t offer The Fashion Bomb a picture or a video (womp). She did look gorgeous, however, in a plum jersey dress with smashing gold accessories:
It was a fun time!
Empress will debut at select Macy’s department stores nationwide. Will you be checking it out?
Smootches!

*Beauty Notes: It was super hot, so I simply applied a bit of MAC’s sea green liner on my lower waterline along with a flourish of Afrobella’s All of my Purple Life gloss.
*Like my romper? I have a brand spanking new one in a size 10 to give away! If that’s your size (or you want to try it on and tailor it down), leave a comment telling me how you’d wear it. I’ll select a reader at random to similarly rock with Boxing Kitten in style this summer. I will choose 1 lucky reader at random. The contest ends Friday, August 5th, 2011 – 11:59 PM EST.
