Yassah writes, “Hello, as a curator of fashion, I find myself stuck on what to wear for my 30th birthday event. It’s a rooftop sit down dinner. Ideally I want to incorporate the color gold but it’s optional. Any suggestions?”

Kanye West is next to receive the coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 VMAs. The prize is given to an artist to honor his or her entire catalog of work. Past honorees include Beyonce in 2014 and Justin Timberlake in 2013. Kanye is certainly in great company, and is most likely to put on a mini-performance (as his predecessors have) before receiving his award. We’re looking forward to seeing it live! (Vanity Fair)

We’re going to the Caribbean with today’s fabulous Bombshell, Shenique from Turks & Caicos:
She says, “I am a celebrity hair and makeup artist (www.shequemakeup.com) and a new fashion blogger with a twist.”
“The fashion focus is less of myself and more of people I style locally or virtually, but primarily visitors to Turks & Caicos.”
“I have introduced a fashion bloggers program called Sheque (prounced chic) Fashion Bloggers where I team up, organize and shoot with fashion bloggers that visit Providenciales,Turks & Caicos in exchange for mutually beneficial stronger social media visibility.”
” Please get in touch if you ever visit! I am a fan of Fashion Bomb Daily. Attached are images for bombshell of the day. I hope to meet sometime.”
I hope to meet you too! I’d love to visit Turks & Caicos! And Boom: You’re a Bombshell.
