As you can probably tell, we have a deep seated love for eye catching accessories. Today’s Bomb Product is no exception. Enter Kamilah Willacy.
Willacy originally started studying architecture before enrolling at the Fashion Institute of Technology then transferring to Polimoda in Italy to study accessory design. Successfully marrying architecture and fashion, a bevy of colorful clutches and purses was born.
Though Willacy’s adoration for precision and construction is evident, creativity is definitely not sacrificed when it comes to her creations. Combining materials like poured resin stained glass, architectural steel, marble, and wood, she manages to dream up handbags with designs that could possibly rival the windows of Earth’s famous churches.
The colors are absolutely dazzling. From bold blues to greens and oranges to fun fuschias, Kamilah Willacy facilitates choosing the right handbag to go with any outfit.
Prices are a little bit of a splurge: starting from $220 to $375. But you clearly get your bang for your buck with these options. We can see it girls who love to have fun with color and patterns like Solange and Kat Graham rocking a few Kamilah Willacy handbags.

Hey all! Monday’s here again, but fret not! We’ve got enough fashionistas to make this dreary day go by swiftly. From NYC to Paris, a few of our favorite celebs took to the ‘Gram to show us what they got. But who stole your hearts away and who, hmm…, made you shudder? Let’s take a look!
First up is the ageless wonder Naomi Campbell. The supermodel snapped a photo before attending this year’s Fragrance Awards in New York City. Without a doubt, seeing her in this vintage (circa 1997) silver Versace gown gave me goosebumps. She looked amazing!
Adrienne Bailon is in Paris learning French and fashion for the summer, for those of you who haven’t been keeping up on Instagram. Though we’re still waiting to see how the French is going, she definitely knows what she’s doing in the fashion department. The Real talk show co-host maneuvered around the city in a leather moto jacket, a Peter Pan collar top with a bow, patterned black and white shorts, and Versace sunglasses. Loved the mix of cool meets chic. Hot!
Selita Ebanks was also present, but got a few pics in for Instagram before hitting the red carpet. The supermodel was also being honored at the event for her humanitarian work, and she picked the perfect dress to accept her award. This white, off-the-shoulder Ashi Studio gown, and her box braids made this look pure perfection. Hot!
Ashley Madekwe strolled around NYC, stopping to her favorite spots for an interview with food blog, The New Potato. The actress kept things casual in a loose fitting top, bell bottom jeans, and silver metallic sandals. A ponytail and a fresh face completed her cute, summer look.
Winonah de Jong is already on a headstart to enjoying her summer. She snapped a few flicks while posing in a restaurant bathroom (a bathroom with the most perfect lighting) while at dinner in Ibiza. Winonah was red hot in a cut-out Balmain jumpsuit while toting around a Chanel clutch. How does she always look so effortlessly elegant? And here’s hoping we can get her beauty regimen. Loving her look and summer glow!
Singer Christina Milian was spotted checking out the work being done to her We Are pop Culture pop-up shop, opening next weekend. She kept things fun in a colorful bustier, distressed denim shorts, Brian Atwood sandals, and a plum colored Prada purse. It’s a cute look, but I’m hoping Christina’s style progresses and looks more adult soon.
And last, but not least, is Draya Michelle…giving you BAWDY! The Basketball Wives L.A. star posted this pic showcasing the $115.00 ‘Sonya’ two-piece from her Mint Swim line. I like it. It’s sexy, but tasteful. And congrats to her on her engagement!
That’s it for this week. Who came in at the top of your lists?
It’s Father’s Day, and a slew of celebs have taken to posting throwback pix on the ‘Gram to celebrate their Dads.
See a few of our faves in the gallery below:
Orange is the New Black star Dascha Polanco gave Poisin Ivy chic at Hooray Henry’s the other night in a Fall 2015 Green Printed Bodycon Dress by Ekaterina Kukhareva:
I like the new red hair!
The runway piece was modeled in Kukhareva’s Fall 2013 show.
50 Cent’s been busy promoting Effen Vodka, and posed with a few fans at an event for the brand in a $249.50 Neil Barrett Abstract Print Tee:
His black and white cotton T-shirt from boasts a round neck, short sleeves, a color blocked design, a straight hem, and a grey statue of liberty and Samson print on the front.
So…when did Kylie Jenner become so bodacious?
The 17-year-old hosted the Miami Opening of the Sugar Factory in a Fall 2015 deep plunge black gown by House of Zhivago:
Simple sandals were her main accent.
The dress was modeled with thigh high gladiator like boots.
Well, Kylie is definitely Kim’s sister! She looks hot, yes, but all the cleavage and legs displays makes me think that this look might be on the racy side for a teenager.
What do you think?
I’m sure you’re tired of seeing my mug all over the blog, but I’ve been busy and sharing is caring;)
Last night, I co-hosted a Repertoire Of A Man & Woman Fashion Installation at Club Monaco in Atlanta’s Lenox Mall:
The event honored Atlanta Natives yours truly and artist Mark Boomershine for our contributions to the worlds of international style.
A handful of Atlanta beauties came by!
Take a look:
Blogging buddy Talking with Tami lensed most of the pictures in this post (check out her recaps here and here). She looked adorable in a Chic and Curvy Red Dress and multicolored Valentino Rockstud Pumps.
This gentleman looked dapper in a suit.
Yes! To this voluminous Afro and cut out romper.
Bytuah organized the whole shebang, and looked exceptional in a slim cut suit and bright shirt.
Bombshell alert! This reader added pop to black and white with jazzy lace ups.
It was all about neutral tones for this bouncy haired beauty.
Former Bombshell and all around fabulous DIVA @ParisChea wore Club Monaco, Ann Taylor Loft, silver Louboutin heels, and a Givenchy clutch. I live.
A floral top, jeans, and lace up sandals were a great combo for this ATL songstress.
Blogged @ImageInStyle looked chic in a yellow blazer and red pumps.
My co-honoree Mark Boomershine is so dapper, no? He posed next to one of his paintings in a smart blazer, jeans, and sneaks.
Chloe from @TheChloeBrand added a sparkly necklace to a strapless black jumpsuit.
