Kim Kardashian-West is not letting pregnancy hold her back when it comes to stepping in style. The expectant mom was spied in New York City where she carried cutie North West sporting a Givenchy Spring 2015 Over The Knee Open Toe Boots and a $595 LaQuan Smith Sleeveless High Neck Ribbed Knit Dress:
Her neutral hued maxi dress boasts a high neck with cut outs at the back for a flash of flesh.
Her statement Givenchy stunners are crafted from stretch Nappa leather and extend over the knees.
Cute look. If you’re up for the splurge purchase here.
My South Africa trip is coming to an end: if you’ve never visited Johannesburg or Cape Town I implore you to do so immediately!
This week, celebs flocked to the GQ Men Of The Year Awards, film festivals around the globe, beach-side vacations, and promo tours.
Let’s see what they wore!
Naomie Harris was gilded at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards in an embellished mesh dress from Julien Macdonald, Tamara Mellon Frontline Sandals, and a Tyler Alexandra clutch. Hot!
Supermodel Jourdan Dunn shimmered and sparkled in a stripe sequin Sonia Rykiel number at the awards show.
At the Ma Ma Madrid Premiere, Penelope Cruz flaunted her décolletage and toned gams in an off-the-shoulder embellished LBD. Isn’t she gorgeous?
Kim Kardashian and adorable daughter North frolicked on the beach in St. Barts. They’re so cute!
Rita Ora was the lady in red at the Jeremy Scott: The People’s Designer Hollywood Premiere in a studded leather getup from Moschino in the fiery hue. The fit left a bit to be desired, but it’s a hot look nonetheless!
Closing out the week was Dakota Johnson, who continued the season’s off-the-shoulder red carpet trend in an embellished Marc Jacobs gown. Another flawless look from the actress.
It’s that time of year again! September is undoubtedly the highlight of the fashion season as the who’s who of fashion hit the scene to take in all that is Spring/Summer 2016. For a few New York Fashion Week inspired looks, tap into today’s style inspirations.
Opt for editor chic realness in a wrap sleeveless blazer and cropped pleated pants.
Add details to the look with a pair of fringed sandals, a leopard print tote, burgundy wide-brim hat, and a pearl embellished choker.
Incorporate jewel tones to a neutral palette for a flash of color.
A sleek peep toe bootie, fringed suede satchel, and a chunky gold ring highlight this cropped-maxi combo.
Work a few layers in a shawl collar sleeveless waistcoat, a high neck jersey top, and cropped leather straight-leg pants.
Punch things up with a suede clutch, lace-up heels in a vibrant hue, and tortoiseshell oversized shades.
Add a feminine spin to a fringe pencil skirt with a silk crepe pussy bow blouse.
Embellished leather pumps, a black Hermés cuff, and silver aviator shades give the look an edgy feel.
And that’s it! Which look best fits your Fashion Week agenda?
Bevy Smith kicked off New York Fashion Week last night with a party at the Just Cavalli store in Soho! For the occasion, she paired black pumps with an $835 Mixed Print Dress by the Brand:
She accessorized with a printed clutch. She grabbed a pic with Orange is the New Black star Danielle Brooks.
Her v-neck frock as a geometric-snakeskin combo print and short sleeves.
Happy day before Fashion Week!
Yesterday, I was honored to join fashion icon Iman for her talk at the 92nd Street Y with Fern Mallis!
The Somali model was discovered by Peter Beard while a political science student at the University of Nairobi in Kenya. She moved to New York with little knowledge of the fashion industry, but became a muse to Yves Saint Laurent, and walked the runways of Versace, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, and more (read about her story in Vintage Visions). In addition to her beauty, she’s brilliant (she speaks five languages), and a serious business woman: her makeup line, Iman Cosmetics, is a $25 million beauty empire, and her collection on HSN is its 2nd best seller! She’s the Bomb!
For the night, she offset a droolworthy plum ensemble with a bright red Balmain gold button blazer. I was so in love with the blazer, that she let me try it on!
How did it look?
There were other fabulous fashion icons in attendance, including June Ambrose and Jay Manuel.

What trend shall we feature next?
Founded in March 2015, Loft 324 is a brand that is aimed towards designing timeless and chic pieces at affordable prices. Sisters Funmi and Folake each possess an eye for eccentric prints, sleek silhouettes and bold colors. With a love for fashion and their knack for taking risks, a mere dream soon became a reality.
From double slit maxi dresses to floral midi skirts, the main objective of each design is to cater to women of all body types. And, fret not! The prices are pretty reasonable – ranging from $29 to $99 – there’s something for everyone!
So, today’s Bomb Blogger is no stranger to Fashion Bomb Daily.
Back in 2013, Tiffany Battle of The Werk Placesnatched the title as our Fashion Bombshell of the Year! I’ve been a loyal follower of her blog for quite some time and it seems that this fashionista is constantly evolving.
In my opinion, this Bomb Blogger possesses the three F’s: she’s fun, she’s fearless and she’s flyyy! Tiffany’s personal style is like no other. She uplifts some pretty complex pieces and styles them in the most creative ways. (Never have I seen anyone rock a multi-colored faux fur vest like this chick!)
And, Tiffany definitely knows the importance of piling on the layers! Her unique looks always combine an immense amount of accessories, mixed prints and quirky details. I only wish that I could pull off half the ‘fits she rocks!
Slay on, hun!
