In the spring, handbags transition from being big and bulky to small and flirty. If you’re looking for a chic, attention-grabbing clutch to shove your essentials into, then don’t worry- we’ve got you covered. Check out today’s Bomb Product of the Day, Zara’s $50 Embroidered Minaudiere Clutch:
The small, straw-embroidered clutch features pink, orange, yellow, green, white and crimson flower petals on the front. A metallic clasp with a multi-color frayed top is used for closure.
You can wear the purse as a clutch or utilize the attached shoulder strap.
The inside of the clutch can probably fit a cell phone, lipstick, small wallet and a set of keys.
What a cute spring/summer piece to add to your closet! Purchase here. What do you think? Would you rock this clutch?
Happy Friday, Bombshells!
Last week, I was delighted to be invited out to Palm Desert for Fashion Week El Paseo.
Haven’t heard of Fashion Week El Paseo? It’s the West Coast’s largest consumer show, meaning you can purchase most looks straight from the runway. I came to see what Palm Desert had on tap and to see if there were any dope designers you’d need to know about. I wasn’t disappointed!
I had a great time discovering a few new brands, and relishing in a few favorites.
Take a look: BB One (www.bboneapparel.com):
Palm Desert Mainstay BB One has been in business for 26 years, and specializes in hip, sophisticated, yet functional pieces for the casual woman with kick. I appreciated their jumpsuits, shirt dresses, and lace up tops, which were perfectly pegged for easy summer days or evenings sailing on a yacht.
Hawaii native Kini Zamora made waves on Project Runway, and titillated the crowd at Fashion Week El Paseo with his Mondrian inspired colorblocked tops and fantastically ruffled high low skirts. His collection skewed playful, vibrant, and fun, offering details like fringe, bold hues, and high slits.
I was also excited to see some more familiar designers on the catwalk, including Project Runway alum and Atlanta native Mychael Knight (www.mychaelknight.com):
His latest collection bubbled over with breezy cocktails, bomber jackets, and mini skirts. I found more than a few items to add to my wish list!
Aren’t those dresses dreamy?
Lastly, Palm Desert’s very own Michael Costello (ShopCostello.com)also unleashed unmitigated glamour via sinewy gowns and sensual jumpsuits.
He keeps killing ’em!
Aside from the shows, Palm Desert is absolutely beautiful. The weather is piping hot, and the palm trees and mountains were truly transportive.
I can’t wait to go back! TheBombLife.com is way overdue for a Palm Desert travel guide with what to do, where to stay, and what to eat in Palm Desert. Stay tuned!
Until then, did you see anything you liked?

Spring is here which means festival season is upon us. From South by Southwest in Austin to Coachella in Palm Springs, I’ve curated a few boho chic inspired looks to get you geared up for your favorite music festivals this season.
Add a little edge with an embroidered tassel-tie top mixed with a faux leather biker mini skirt.
Finish the look with a wide brim hat, mini fringe shoulder bag, a black suedette choker, and cutout ankle booties.
Toughen up a floral print cold-shoulder cami with a pair of distressed denim cutoffs.
Give the look a Southwest feel with a ‘Toro’ printed leather clutch, fringe wedge heels, and a gold and turquoise cuff bracelet.
Dress in all black and slip into a pair of fringed shorts with a crochet knit crop top offset by a hidden wedge fringed bootie.
Complete the look with a pendant-embellished sun hat, mirrored aviators, and silver jewelry.
Opt for an off-the-shoulder romper paired with a bandeau-top bikini, and suede lace-up sandals.
Give the look a retro chic feel with a navy crossbody bag, bird printed turban, and sparkling round frame shades.
Throw on your favorite concert tee and distressed denim shorts. Punch up this rocker look with a leopard print fringe shoulder bag and buckle side ankle boots.
Add the finishing touches with a sheer bead-embellished skinny scarf, round metal sunglasses, and an antiqued finish bangle.

Zendaya Coleman took to Kobe Bryant’s last Lakers game in the same NasaShop I Came To Break Hearts Cap Rihanna originally sported back in November 2015:
Zendaya paired the accessory with a Shahista Lalani camo biker jacket and brown lace-up platform boots, while Rih chose a Vetements Shearling Coat and $745 Manolo Blahnik Chaos Sandals.
The cap features white contrast ‘I Came to Break Hearts’ text on the front and a broken heart on the back.
Lupita Nyong’o stopped by Good Morning America while hot on the promo trail for her new film The Jungle Book (which hits theaters tomorrow). The actress posed alongside GMA host Robin Roberts as she rocked a gorgeous Blue, Black and White Striped Dolce & Gabbana Pleated Hem Midi Dress.
The Kenyan beauty also donned matching drop earrings and a patent black headband. Royal blue pumps completed her chic look.
Boudoir-inspired designs are nothing new. TLC rocked the colorful, silk pajama look in their iconic “Creep” video, Madonna made lace de rigeur with Like a Virgin, and the late Aaliyah even donned a few of the sultry pieces, including a black slip dress to the 2001 MTV Movie Awards.
While the risqué trend was popular in the 90s, the sexy pieces (that were once reserved for the bedroom) have now made their way into our everyday wardrobe.
We’ve seen how the celebrities slay their versions of this hot look but now it’s time to let you indulge in a little spring shopping, lol.
So, keep on reading for some of the best boudoir-inspired pieces under $100! Trust me, you’ll thank us later.
Even though many of these pieces are lingerie-inspired, you can still uplift this trend in a functional way. Take this sheer kimono for instance – you can go conservative while pairing it with a tank or your can amp up the sex appeal with a black lace bra. Have fun with it!
Runway shows are not going anywhere! A bit of panic fell over the industry with the current rise in the see-now, buy-now movement, but Stacy Bendet is showing brands that it too makes for a great catwalk presentation. She invited a slew of her stylish celebrity friends and brand aficionados out to NeueHouse Los Angeles in Hollywood and showed her latest wares for alice + olivia.
Actress Karen Fukuhara was print perfect in a $245 Amina Off The Shoulder Top and thigh-baring shorts. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up so I can wear looks like this.
