” Do you know where it’s from or something similar?”
Gloria Govan posed it up with new boyfriend Derek Fisher in a crop top and skirt set by Lexi Clothing. Both her crop top and skirt are made out of french navy scuba tech fabric.

Hot! or Hmm…to this ensemble?
Stella McCartney’s Agnes dress is crafted of black and multicolored cady woven in a mixed-floral pattern and styled with a wrapped skirt.
Nudist Sandals are a wardrobe staple.
Get her look here:
Reviews were mixed on Instagram, with readers saying the dress was too long or unflattering. I’m not a super fan, but she does look Spring Ready!

Here at FashionBombDaily, we want to make sure everyone feels right at home when they read our content. While we’re always working to promote racial and gender diversification on our site, one thing that constantly gets over-looked in the grand scheme of societal diversity is AGE; thus, we wanted to spotlight and familiarize our readers with one lady in particular who has proven that age is merely a number: Iris Apfel.
A long time fan of hers, I couldn’t help but plunge into Iris’s credentials and biographical information when given the chance. Born in 1921 (making her 94 years young), Iris studied Art History at New York University, and went to have a career at Women’s Wear Daily before embarking on a career in interior decoration with designer Elinor Johnson. After marrying her husband Carl, they started their own textile company, where Iris was contracted for various projects in the fashion industry, including design restoration work at the White House for 9 various Presidents.
While Iris got her start in the design restoration/textile industry, many of us have come to know and love her for her fashionably fierce persona, constantly strutting threads that will either make you gush or clutch your pearls. She gained prominence as a fashion star when the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute presented an exhibition about the New Yorker’s vast collection of clothes and accessories (she’s traveled around the world extensively for many of her threads, and always talks about bargain shopping!). Here’s a great snippet of an interview she did for The New York Times:
Nowadays, you’ll catch her on panels, at exclusive fashion events and parties, or even headlining your favorite clothing campaign in a way only Iris can (like Kate Spade)An eccentric and lavish dresser who shows more is more, she’s highly active in vocalizing the necessity for equal rights, constantly lending her voice to the current state of fashion, the industry, and personal style.
So why is she our Beauty Crush Wednesday? Aside from being an advocate for self-love and self-expression through clothing, she shows us all that you can be effortlessly fierce in the skin that you’re in, and you don’t have to settle or simmer any of your fire for anyone! Her style may not be for everyone, but she kills it for me, every time.
That’s why Iris Apfel is our Beauty Crush! Is she yours?
With a wide variety of soft pastels, punchy prints and dramatic silhouettes, this brand continues to prove that a killer style can still remain both affordable and unique.

This spring collection is all about enhancing femininity while maintaining an effortless cool. Of course, there are their bold and colorful two-pieces and (Fashion Bomb’s favorite) blush caped dress but the real MVPs are these jumpsuits!

In 2013, Christian Louboutin did brown girls around the world a solid when he released a collection of “nude” heels available in five shades. Reportedly, the project was prompted by a simple workplace interaction where a Louboutin employee told the designer that her skin wasn’t beige. The rest as they say is history.
The new shades are already live on the Louboutin site and are options for all of the brand’s styles that come available in nude. It’s a direction that we hope more brands will go in for the future, not only recognizing but acknowledging that their customer base comes in a variety of shades.
” Style, for me, is ever-changing. I wouldn’t even want to box myself in by saying I have one particular style.”
” I style myself based upon how I’m feeling that day.”
“One day you may see me and I’m in a formal dress, with 6 inch heels on, and the very next day you’ll see me with ripped jeans and sneakers on. “
“That’s just how different and versatile my style is. “
“It’s authentically and unapologetically…me. I live by the quote, “Fashion is nothing, Style is everything”, because style is so beautifully, unique and helps to express who you are as a person.”
“So as you look at my pics, and you see my style, it’s almost like I’m telling you who I am…without even have to say one word…and that is simply amazing :)”

Hey!
So I was recently invited to Cohen’s Fashion Optical to peruse their eyeglasses and sunglasses and learn more about their fabulous offerings.
Since I live in Brooklyn, it was easy for me to pop by their location on Montague Street and see what they had in store.
When I got there, I consulted with their team, including franchise owner and optometrist Dr. Mina Kim. They were super friendly and open to offering loads of great advice on what would work best for my face and lifestyle.
Full disclosure: I am as blind as a bat! My eyeglass prescription is -10.5 on both eyes, which translates into coke bottle glasses that are generally the opposite of cute when it comes to specs.
I worked closely with Dr. Kim and her team to find out which frames they think would work best for my face. They informed me that because I have an oval face, I could get away with a lot of the styles: Angular styles would give me more of a fierce and glam aura, while cat eyes were more casual. If I wanted something that could conceal the ‘coke bottle’ moment, I should go for rounder frames.
So I then began my quest for some Bomb eyewear, and needless to say, I had a lot of fun testing out all these styles & trying on the various brands of frames:
These angular Fendi frames were fun and fierce! The blue accents and crystal tips were unexpected touches. Though quirky and different, I think these could work with a wide range of wardrobe options, and they’ll stand out as a bold yet alluring flourish.
The store’s collection truly had a ton of chic options that I simply adored. I was a super fan of these Tom Fords. I felt that the subtlety of these frames make them dope for everyday wear.
I normally wouldn’t pluck anything pink, but these glasses were hot! They were feminine and flirty, and honestly, most of my friends were fans of these. The pastel hue is on point for Spring and can coordinate well with all the fresh, vibrant outfits I plan to wear in the upcoming months.
Miu Miu stole my heart with their roomy, yet stylish options. And especially because I was told these would be the best frames for my strong prescription. The square design also works well for my oval face, and the darker tone reads scholarly and smart.
My absolute fave? These tortoise shell stunners by Miu Miu. Not only are they the right shape for my face, but they worked the best for my hair and skin tone, and offer a classic feel that transcends all seasons.
I was pleased with that news! And I was pleased to find out that everything was so affordable and within my budget – I know I’ll be popping back in there in the future to see any new selections I can add to my collection!
And good news for you – There are over 130 franchise stores in the US, so head to CohensFashionOptical.com to find a Cohen’s near you and try on the styles that work best for you!
