While Angela Simmons went for a metallic dress by RAAAH, Rocsi paired her sandals with a black slash House of CB Ramona dress, paired with a a soft coral red.
Let’s talk about these bad boys real quick, shall we? The shoe sports a suede crisscross and features an iridescent wing detail in the back. The shoe sports a 3.25′ heel, has a patent leather trim and is open-toed!
So who wore it better? My vote is for Rocsi! Who do you think?
Alessandra Ambrosio stunned during the premiere of The Last Face during Cannes Film Festival in a Zuhair Murad Spring 2016 Couture beaded jumpsuit:
The strapless beaded jumpsuit features a nude overlay with a tulle net-covered skirt. Embroidered with climbing 3D flowers, the sheer jumpsuit gives off an elegant, regal look.
Alessandra completed her ensemble with a diamond necklace, diamond studs and a bun worn loosely at the top of her head.
I love that this is not a traditional jumpsuit yet it’s appropriate for the setting. Hot!
Friday evening the stars of the hit prime time television show ‘Empire’ attended their FYC ATAS Event at the Zanuck Theater in Los Angeles. As if the cast isn’t already stylish on screen, they made sure to show off their fashionable threads on the red carpet.

Serayah’s electric blue DSquared2 suit fit her perfectly. She accessorized her ensemble with an Edie Parker clutch and Stuart Weitzman sandals.

One thing I have found very meditative is delving into a good book; amongst them, a great self-help book. While I had heard and knew of Olori Swank and her ascent into celebrity styling, I had never thought to pick up her book. By happenstance, 101: The Blueprint Swank Life appeared in my lap, and peaking my interest, soon dragged me in. Thus, I had to make it a Bomb product of the Day.
In this gem, one will find vast secrets and general antidotes on a myriad of topics, ranging from staple items every woman must own, relationship advice, juggling finances and starting your own business, and much more.
Now one may be wondering what exactly makes THIS book such a Bomb Product compared to other books you may have on your summer radar. Though its insightfulness definitely puts it in a category of relatable “we’re just girls and we’re talking about our lives” style, Olori dishes on EVERYTHING you may have ever wondered. With vivid illustrations that captivate the eye as well as constant resounding quotes, the book is a definite encouragement to make one get off their behind and do something!
Topics I personally enjoyed were her comparisons of waxing, threading, shaving and laser-hair removal (hey, we should know the differences), learning how to negotiate whether in the boardroom or straight from your home office, and amazing recipes (yes, she has a mini cookbook in here!) and cleanses to get that body right for the summer.You’ll find secret hair tips on how to dress when rocking very colorful locks (regardless if your hair is blue or not), proper dressing for your size shape, and of course, what constitutes a splurge and a save.
With constant Internet trolls and just haters abounding, one could even appreciate the book’s section The book even broke down when to clapback at haters, the 10 ‘Swanky’ Finance Commandments, how to tell what glasses different wines go in (hey, you never know when you might need to know that) and her beauty secrets for clear skin.
All in all, this book is packed with delightful random antidotes that every girl should know, or at least be familiar with. With eye-gripping illustrations and wonderfully curated tips, you’ll be on your way to conquering the world as the Bombshell that you are after you read this book!
What do you guys think? Will you be adding this book to your summer reading list?
