From Michael Costello:
Inspired by feminine decadence, Costello is merging his bold shapes with a softer and sweeter color palate. “This collection has more movement, leaving more to the imagination,” according to Costello. “It evokes the sexiness of a tight dress with the draping of an elegant gown.”
Gaining recognition as both a brand and designer, Costello chose this collection to unveil brighter gem tones, using the body as contrast. “These dresses make women feel desired and unforgettable,” according to Costello.

Hey Hey!
Though Fashion Week is still going strong, my fashion week ended last night with a “You’ve Got to Be Seen, Green” party at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, hosted by Solange Knowles and her Saint Heron Family! As you can undoubtedly tell from the title, green garments were required for entry.
Take a look at how guests interpreted the theme:
These three ladies came to slay!!! Editors Rajni Jacques, Shiona Turini, and Nicole Chapoteau dazzled in Halston, Saint Laurent, and Dior. They looked fabulous.
DJ Kitty Cash was adorable in a leaf printed blazer dress and lace up sandals.
WXYZ jewelry designer Laura Wass uplifted a green dress with a bejeweled hat and bag of her design.
I loved artist February James’s $100 dollar bill crop top.
A Kenzo sweater and American Apparel disco pants were the call for this Fashion Student.
A lingerie inspired dress and flats made for the perfect party look.
This guest added a green clutch to a white jumpsuit.
Alan Ferguson supported his wife in a green button down and a denim blazer.
And inside, Solange laughed it up with friend Armina Mussa in Carolina Herrera.
It was a fun night!
It has an open back, so I wore a Topshop vest over it with my Givenchy clutch.
This Fashion Week has been the busiest yet! I am pooped!
I’m off to get some rest and get back to blogging.
Which looks did you love from the night?
**The party theme was inspired by the Wiz. This video was playing on the walls all night.
Rihanna’s first collab with Puma has been a success! According to Footwear News, her creepers sold out within 3 hours of their initial launch.
The black and white shoe is an update on Puma’s classic suede sneaker. See her rock it below in a campaign image with Travi$ Scott.
If you missed your chance to get your hands on a pair, don’t fret: they’ll be available on Puma.com and worldwide on September 25th.
I wouldn’t mind a pair!
Would you rock ’em?

Happy Hump Day! For the Janet Jackson stans set to attend her much anticipated world tour, I’ve pulled a few looks together for today’s what to wear request.
Tiara writes, “Help! I am attending Janet Jackson’s Unbreakable World Tour this fall and am having a hard time finding something to wear. The concert is outdoors and I am torn between going casual or wearing heels. I want to be comfortable because it is outdoors and I am sure I will be dancing the entire time. Please help.”
Dress up a slouchy slit tank with a ruched shell skirt.
Add a stylish twist with a printed knit sneaker, a small camel hued clutch, and a chunky gold necklace.
Break out a khaki hued bomber offset by distressed denim shorts and a stretch-knit turtleneck.
Ankle peep toe booties and a camo printed clutch give the look a military chic feel.
Keep it cute and casual in an olive tank with pocket detail and distressed mid-rise jeans.
A comfy sneaker, grey moto jacket, and textured-leather tote complete the look.
Opt for black on black with a dark tank thrown over a pair of ripped high waist cut-offs.
Vamp things up with an oversized biker coat, a leather and lace bra, and an embellished over the knee boot.
And if you want to go for something a little dressier, slip into a pair of distressed white skinny jeans with a double breasted blazer and suede-effect lace-up bodysuit.
A chunky gold necklace, olive suede sandals, and a satin woven box clutch add a metallic touch.
Wishing you a fabulous time at the concert. Which look would you rock?
Rita tends to wear the looks straight from the runway, and she didn’t vary it up much here, though she did add her own flourish with mirrored sunglasses.
Nothing exciting here, but black on black is always chic!

It’s been a jam-packed week thus far but Friday is on the horizon! Between preparing for my December graduation and juggling the tasks of work, I’ve missed the blog. But, I’m back today with another Bomb Blogger! And, she’s absolutely flawless.
So, join me as we revel in the sleek musings of Nikki Brooks-Revis of Beaute’ J’adore!
Nikki came highly recommended via my fellow Fashion Bomb writer, Giselle (hey girl!). After tagging me in one of her ‘fits on Instagram, I was instantly impressed. As a mother of a gorgeous little girl and a sensational seamstress, this style maven knows what works for her and executes each look with effortless class.
If I had to define Nikki’s style, I’d simply call it “theclassic romantic“. This fashionista gravitates towards soft flowy textures, unique silhouettes, monochromatic effects, the perfectly tailored trouser and (of course) eye-catching prints. Nikki’s sartorial presence shimmers in every shot and her undeniable cool just makes her even more awesome.
Slay on, hun!

Karrueche Tran attended yesterday’s Harbison show in a white crop top, Prada sandals, and the same Harbison Spring 2015 appliqué pencil skirt previously spied on Beyonce:
While Kae mixed it up a bit, Bey stuck more to the runway styling, sporting the brand’s matching bustier and coat draped over her shoulders.
It’s a cute skirt and I think they both rocked it!
