The Afropunk Festival went down this weekend, with soul rocking performances by everyone from Grace Jones to Lenny Kravitz! I didn’t attend (did you? how was it?), but Fashion Bomb Daily street style photog Brandon Isralsky was on the scene, taking pictures of fly attendees.
Take a look:

This gorgeous Bombshell showed her style in striped pants, a cropped top, and a gauzy cover up. A wide brimmed hat shielded the sun. Hot!

Mirrored shades added pop to this mustard and cream ensemble.

This stylista oozed confidence in a polka dotted crop top and pants set.

It was also about the printed set for this Bombshell, who mixed stripes with splashes of yellow.

The men always represent! This king accessorized his jazzy digs with a crown and an Ankh necklace.

A shark tooth necklace, straw hat, and a septum ring were this attendees accessory choices for the day.

This gentleman stood with purpose in a white dashiki style shirt and jeans.

It was all about a more tailored look for this young man, who flaunted a shorts suit and hat.

A printed dress and round sunglasses created a bold look for this fashionista.

And lastly, a fringed suede top and bell bottoms seemed to epitomize Afropunk chic. Work!
Brandon Isralsky took loads more photos from this weekend! Stay tuned for part 2 (and maybe even a part 3) later this week.
Until then, what do you think of Real Style from the 2015 Afropunk festival?

Karrueche’s shoe game is always on point! She smiled at the Athletes vs. Cancer Charity Football Game in a crop top, leggings, and $250 L.A.M.B Payton Sandals:

Colorful straps crisscross these airy leather sandals, which are detailed with neutral snakeskin panels.

Unfortunately her sandals are sold out, but you can get the look on Ebay! The black/white colorway is still available via a few select retailers. View Karrureche Style Guide here and see the shoes in her curated collection.
Thoughts on her look?

Nicki Minaj looks more and more pretty every time I see her!
At any rate, she smiled big at her brother Jelani’s wedding in a ruched red dress by one of her favorites, Alexander McQueen:

She grabbed a pic with her mother. She gets it from her Momma!

See a similar embellished dress below in black.

Get the black version at Saks, and inquire about Nicki’s dress at AlexanderMcQueen.com.
What do you think of her look?

Gorgeous and well dressed? What a fabulous combination!
Amal Clooney partied it up with husband Georges this weekend in Ibiza in a $2,435 Vionnet Cowl Neck Gold Dress:

Simple black pumps allowed the dress to shine.

The striking Vionnet dress is constructed in brilliant metal-mesh and cool, slinky jersey.

It’s definitely a show stopper. She looks hot! And Happy!

Ruby was reveling from Beyonce’s swimsuit pic from this Weekend’s Fabulous Looks, and wondered, “Where did Beyonce get her one piece?”

Beyonce had a mother daughter moment with Blue Ivy in a $205 Acacia Swimwear Florence Swimsuit.


I had my doubts because a few front and back shots showed extra straps.

But it looks like Mrs. Carter got creative, perhaps pulling some strings from the side to create even more straps!
At any rate, get her swimsuit here:

Would you splurge?

J. Lo took her signature slayage to Little Rock, Arkansas for American Idol’s next round of auditions. She went for church lady chic in a dress by Australian designer Alex Perry.

Her dress was modeled with black pumps, though she kept the summer tones going with Christian Louboutin white So Kates.

She looks great! Can’t wait to see what she wears next.
What do you think of her look?

Call it the Rihanna effect! But ever since our favorite Bajan Bombshell became the face of Christian Dior, the brand has been killing it with their accessories, particularly their sunglasses. Their So Real and Technologic shades have found fans in tons of tinsel town beauties.
Take a look:

Of course as a Dior girl, Rihanna was one of the first to wear the mirrored So Real shades for the brand’s show during Paris Fashion Week.

Not too long after, Lupita Nyong’o was spied sporting a pair of So Real’s for a photo call in Cannes.

And dazzled in another pair for Dior’s Haute Couture presentation.




The Kardashian/Jenner bunch are super fans, especially youngest sister Kylie! She’s been spied in both the Technologic and the So Real iterations from red carpets to beach vacays.

Alicia Keys smoldered for the ‘gram in a bi-color pair of So Real’s.


Olivia Palermo has been spied in the same silhouette in silver.

Of course the couture loving Marjorie Harvey has a pair of the delectable shades.

Basketball Wives star Draya Michele recently puckered up in a pair of Technologics.


And I’m a fan! I’ve splurged on silver and bi-color for the summer.
The stunners are a splurge, priced at $500-$560 per pair, but I’d say they’re worth it;)

Hey Bombshells!

When I hit the town, I’m usually rocking some serious makeup! And you know after a long night, the last thing you want to do is damage your skin while trying to remove all of your makeup. I wanted to give you a little sneak peak into a secret weapon I use to cleanse my skin while keeping it hydrated and fresh. Though I cleanse my face after a night out, I love the refreshing and instantly hydrating skin feel that I get with Simple Micellar Makeup remover Wipes:

I keep them on my sink, right next to all my beauty products. Simple Micellar wipes are a key part of my daily routine! The package is a perfect size to carry while I’m out and about too, and the wipes cleanse my face and instantly hydrate. They’re made with skin loving ingredients like Vitamin D and Vitamin E, and the Micelles (those cool bubbles on the wipe) get rid of all of my makeup without drying my face or making it feel tight. I even use them after the gym or whenever my skin needs a “pick me up” from these hot summer days. They’re so gentle that I don’t need to worry about using them too often, and you never need to rinse so I can use them wherever!

Whether you use the wipes as a final step or the only step in your cleansing care, you can always rest assured that your pores will be clean and left instantly hydrated after a few swipes with the wipes. The moisturizing cloths have a pleasant smell made without artificial perfumes and dyes, and are the most effective way to clean your face. They’re also excellent for those summer days when you’re on the go.

Try them out and let me know what you think!

Draya Michele gave stunning face on the ‘Gram while sporting a pair of $530 Dior Gold Tone Extended Brow Bar Technologic Sunglasses:

Her sleek sunnies feature an aviator shape, mirrored lenses and a statement gold tone extended brow bar.

Matte black arms and looped metal details are included at the temple tips.

Super cute!
