It brings me great sadness to report that Bombshell and Fashion Bomb friend Daisy Lewellyn has passed away from a rare form of liver cancer.
If you aren’t familiar with her from seeing our coverage of her Brooklyn Brunch Series or from her appearances at Cocktails with Claire events, then you undoubtedly know her from the Bravo Reality Show, Blood, Sweat, and Heels.
Daisy was 36.
To know Daisy was to love her. Her personality, energy, and zest for life were electric and infectious. Daisy was always on hand to help, and even offered interns and took over video hosting for our first Cocktails with Claire New York.
Daisy will be missed, but her spirit will live on forever in our hearts and minds.
It’s officially wedding season! With multiple weddings on your calendar it can be tricky figuring out what to wear. Well luckily today I’m tackling a few fashionable wedding outfit ideas thanks to FBD’s very own staffer, Jame’ Jackson.
Jame writes, “Have we done a ‘what to wear to your friend’s wedding’ spring inspired post? All of my friends are getting married and I’m just like…chilling in my shorts”.
Go bright and bold in a punchy pink and red floral print pleated midi skirt with a halter neck crop top.
Jazz it up with a fitted blazer, woven box clutch, and ankle wrap suede sandals in a soft pink hue.
An embroidered lace midi dress is such an elegant option for attending a wedding.
Add a bit of romance with a patent nude pump, floral embroidered clutch, and crystal ear crawlers.
Opt for an off the shoulder look in shades of mint green for a spring inspired outfit.
A two-tone leather sandal, metallic monogram shoulder bag, and crystal dangle earrings add a sophisticated touch.
Keep it classy in a pale pink caped dress with a scalloped hemline.
Add a fun strappy sandal, pearlescent box clutch, and double-tier drop earrings for a stylish wedding look.
And if the wedding calls for black tie or cocktail attire, opt for a black circular lace midi dress.
Complete the look with a pair of strappy black sandals, a bird embellished box clutch, and crystal drop earrings.
That’s it for today’s wedding style inspirations. Which look would you wear? Be sure to follow me on Instagram @StyleIsMyObsession for more stylish wardrobe and outfit suggestions. Based in LA and need personal styling? E-mail me at Danielle@FashionBombDaily.com

Shoulder cleavage is a ‘thing’ for the spring. The 70’s inspired off the shoulder top will be a must-have for this seasons wardrobe. Today’s Bomb Product of the Day features Pixie Market’s $45 Light Blue Crop Off the Shoulder Top:
The pale blue, cotton blend shirt has elastic around the top allowing it to expand past the shoulders.
Great for a casual brunch or daytime look. To complete the 70’s feel, I’d rock this top with a pair of wide leg pants.
The style was spied on stars like Olivia Palermo and more recently, Kendall Jenner.
Simple and so appropriate for the spring and summer seasons. You can purchase here. What do you think? How would you wear this top?

Britain’s Got Talent judge and singer Alesha Dixon, hit up the This Morning show. While chatting it up and dispelling rumors about joining X Factor, she looked cool as can be while wearing a cream colored turtleneck and a $556 The Kooples Leather Dress.
Emphasizing a modern, rock and roll rebel look, this leather dress features buckled straps at the shoulders and back and a pleated mini skirt.
In spite of the texture being typically weighty and thick, Alesha’s dress looks like it offers ease of movement and and elevates her edgy side.
Although it’s quite the splurge, and you’re bound to find less expensive alternatives, I’m feeling it! She looks like a 90’s video daydream, especially with cool sunglasses and a trendy pair of peep-toe booties. Well, if you’re feeling her look, you can cop the dress here.
What do you think? Was Alesha’s ‘fit worth the splurge?
GapKids introduced their latest campaign for the Ellen DeGeneres kids clothing line on Friday April 1st. Since the release, the advertisement has come under harsh criticism via social media because some believe the photo has a racial undertone.
The photo features four young girls standing in a row. The girls in the middle ignite controversy because of how they’re posed. The white model is positioned with her elbow on the black models head. The caption reads, “Meet the kids who are proving that girls can do anything.” Social Media was not impressed with the new campaign and sounded off:
The mega retailer has a history of inclusion when it comes to their advertising strategies. They’ve embraced diversity by using people of color, different religions, disabilities and sexual orientations in their campaigns. Some argue the idea that The Gap’s history of promoting the protected classes should be an indication that the advertisement is not racially motivated. In fact, Gap supporters refute racial claims by presenting a similar ad from a campaign a few years back. In that ad, a black girl poses with her elbow on a white girl’s head.
The Gap has since removed the ad from their website and issued an apology.
“As a brand with a proud 46 year history of championing diversity and inclusivity, we appreciate the conversation that has taken place and are sorry to anyone we’ve offended,” said Gap spokeswoman Debbie Felix in a statement to Fortune.
The climate of our society is very sensitive when it comes to race. The perception of this ad will be different for everyone who sees it. The question is, if we know The Gap to be a supportive and inclusive brand, are people being to sensitive or can we chalk this up to poor judgment on the brands part? What do you think?
