So, today’s Bomb Blogger is no stranger to Fashion Bomb Daily.

Back in 2013, Tiffany Battle of The Werk Place snatched 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!

Beyonce recently took in a few meetings in the city in a long sleeved top, a high slit Teezar Studio colorblock pencil skirt, and Stuart Weitzman Nudist sandals.

She was not feeling the paparazzi! She avoided them, and shielded herself with a $2,995 Valentino Rockstud Top Handle Tote:

Beyonce’s skirt was modeled with a black crop top.

See other pieces by the designer below.

Her cream leather bag has gold hardware and the brand’s signature pyramid studs.

Inquire about her skirt @TeezarStudio. Get her sandals at Stuart Weitzman, and her bag at My Theresa.
What do you think of her look?

*See pix from her personal photo shoot below:

She was feeling herself!

Oh my gosh! Zara always knows the way to my wallet!

Often times, I find myself sifting through the site – just endlessly scanning look after look. But, when I came across their Studded Briefcase-Style Messenger Bag, I knew I had to have it.

With a boxy structure and tons of studs, this stunner is sure to turn heads. It also includes a “mini” feel, a silver clasp and a detachable shoulder strap.

Available for only $99.90, it’s perfect for the upcoming fall season! Check out additional purchasing details here.

Not quite sold? Well, even RiRi’s been rocking a similar bag silhouette!

Though Fashion Week officially kicks off on September 10th, there are loads of events and presentations happening on the days leading up! June Ambrose attended the Zac Zac Posen Spring 2016 show in a dress by the brand and $895 Brian Atwood Alis Suede Pom Pom Pumps:

Get into those guns. Yes, June!

Her suede dark pink pumps boasts a fun green pom pom at the toe.

There are no rules in fashion. So the next time someone says something to you about wearing white after Labor Day, roll your eyes and show them a barrage of photos showing exactly what’s happening on the street these days. Among the selects, make sure to slip in Kylie Jenner’s latest all white look: a long sleeve turtleneck and a $495 10 Crosby Derek Lam white belted wrap skirt.

She accessorized with chic pumps, a Birkin, and purple tinged sunnies.

Having recently sat down with the NY Times to talk about her beauty routine in celebration of her to-be-launched beauty and makeover site (the interview itself is very reminiscent of Into the Gloss’s Top Shelf features) the 18-year-old reality star was the picture of minimalism in the look, which she wore to a studio in Van Nuys, California.

The wrap miniskirt has leather trim and 3 buckles for a girly look with an edgy twist.

The belt(and belt embellishment) of the cotton skirt are clearly the look’s draw. While the $495 skirt is sold out in most locations, we did manage to find it on a steep markdown for $297. Act fast!

While we are fans of minimalism, something didn’t sit right with this look on Kylie. The neck of the turtleneck seemed to be doing some slightly weird things fit wise that made it look like she was lacking in that department; could a crewneck have served her more here? In the skirt department, she outshine the model in our honest opinion as her hip to waist ratio gave the look an A-line shape.

A few of you asked for a look for less for Rihanna’s DSquared2 Spring 2016 heels. Frequent commenter Girls Best Friend and Co suggested these fly $218 Jeffrey Campbell’s LevLuv Strappy Heeled Sandals:

The 4 1/2″ heels come in black, blush, and beige.

Remember a few weeks ago when I met up with Orange is the New Black actress Dascha Polanco? Well, we now have video!

The curvaceous vixen and I talked about personal style. She said, “What I think what is important today with curves and with you yourself is confidence. Loving yourself. Accepting your difference. Understanding that that difference doesn’t have to be negative. It can be something very optimistic and positive.”
