As my personal style continues to evolve, I find myself gravitating towards more muted tones, modern cuts and out-of-the-box pairings. And, I’m convinced, Nigerian designer Weiz Dhurm Franklyn is the answer to my every fashionable need!

Weiz’s daring designs possess the right amount of both a subtle sultriness and classic sophistication. Leaning more towards sheer effects and clean silhouettes, Franklyn’s dresses scream utter elegance.

In addition to intricately placed floral embellishments and off-the-shoulder wonders, Weiz Dhurm Franklyn houses pieces that also border along the lines of dark/edgy while also uplifting a feminine flair. The collection features cocktail dresses, evening gowns, structured tops and jumpsuits.

See anything you like?

Well, any orders made to Weiz Dhurm Franklyn can be made via email at weizdhurmfranklyn@yahoo.com. Be sure to include your size, a picture of the designated design and an email address. Prices are also available upon request. Peruse their IG @weizdhurmfranklyn.

Happy Wednesday!

I wanted to try something different with today’s Bomb Blogger. Hailing for Goa, India – Rhea Gupte of FUSS is the epitome of sartorial inspiration. With her knack for styling bold accessories and a love for eye-catching prints, this fashionista is sure to leave you captivated.

I ran across FUSS via Instagram. Immediately intrigued by a photo of this raven-haired siren, I made a quick detour to her site where the slayage continued. According to Rhea, her blog is used as a creative space where she also houses collaborative shoots and individualistic styling.

Rhea’s style is a combination of both eccentric and bohemian vibes. Some of her fashion favorites include tons of jewelry, sequins and spikes, impressive head adornments and chunky heels. Her approach to personal style is beyond refreshing. And, let’s not forget her awesome layering technique!

Slay on, hun!

Want to know more about Rhea Gupte of FUSS? Well, head on  over to her blog here or visit her IG @thegirlfromfuss.

• Though the ads have been slowly slipping through, we have yet to see the actual product as a fruition of Rihanna’s creative director role with Puma. Until now. It seems the BBHMM star has been wearing at least one pair of her designs around town. She posted a quick “PRIHview” of what’s to come on Instagram before removing it. She’s been spotted by paparazzi in the same sneaker styles running around town though. No word on whether they’ve been put into production or on a release date. (Footwear News)

• Of the Kardashian-Jenner crew, Kylie is likely most known for her infamous pout (#KylieJennerChallenge anyone?). Well now, she’s turning that emphasis on beauty into a blog on her website. While it’s sort of funny seeing as she mostly has her beat done by a team, we don’t doubt there will be some true gems there. Stay tuned! (Instagram)

• When you fall you tend to hit every branch on the way down. The latest branch Donald Trump is hitting in his fall: a less than fashionable one. Apparently the money man had a menswear brand of neckties and shirts (who knew?!) and in light of his comments about Mexicans, that brand is now finished. PVH Corp produces the line and will finish off the agreement that goes through 2018, but will not renew it. But even with that, the line is already dead: Macy’s was the exclusive retailer for the brand and they have pulled it from the shelves. Basically, don’t say stupid things. (Fashionista)

• Have you been one of those long-term, down for the cause, ride or die Topshop fans for a while? Do you remember a piece that you really wanted but for some reason couldn’t get your hands on? Well keep your eyes peeled because the company is doing a reissue that reaches back all the way to the 70s and mines their most popular designs. Everything from fringe-knit sweaters to a silver lame prom dress and even a tiered maxi dress are included. The line hits stores today! (Telegraph)

• Victor Cruz is getting more than just a Givenchy ad campaign from the fashion industry. Come September, the NFL player will also be dropping a capsule collection with cult-denim brand 3×1. The five-piece range will include a long sleeve chambray shirt, a shirt jacket, coated denim pants, ripped jeans and a Melton military coat. The best part? All proceeds go to charity. (Complex)

I live for burgers and fries, but as it’s Summer and bikini bods are on the menu (no pun intended), they’re just not something I can indulge in as much as I’d like. Luckily, Soludos and Jason Polan are allowing me to wear them on my feet with their $65 Burger & Fries Espadrilles:

Soludos is known for their simple, functional, and affordable espadrille styles, but they’re giving a fun spin to them with illustrator Jason Polan’s help. They come in both mustard and sand and will look cute with everything from denim cutoffs to flirty Summer frocks.

Get them here for just $65.

The Lady Loves Couture!
Marjorie Harvey hit the Paris Haute Couture shows in style, and brought her daughter Lori along for the ride.
She documented most of her high fashion ensembles via IG.
Take a look:

For her Giambattista Valli show outing, she wore a Fall 2014 Haute Couture look from the brand, minus the matching striped shoes and white headpiece.

Check out the back view.

Hot!

A Spring 2015 Christian Dior dress was Marjorie’s call for the house’s Haute Couture show.


She dipped into the archives with lace-up sandals from Dior’s Fall Winter 2009 Couture Runway.


Those are on fire!

Chanel Pre-Fall 2015 and Christian Louboutin pumps were Mrs. Harvey’s choice for Chanel Haute Couture.

She wore a full Elie Saab Spring 2015 look to Elie Saab’s Fall 2015 Couture show.

And for the Fendi Fall 2015 Fur Show, Mrs. Harvey slipped on a Fendi Pre-Fall 2015 fringed dress, matching coat, and Christian Louboutin Degradé pumps.

Lord, that’s a lot of labels! But she wears them well.
Which look is your favorite?

Michelle Rodriguez shimmered at the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2015 Couture Fashion Show in a Strapless Silver Perforated Dress from the brand’s Spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection:

On the runway, her frock was layered under an asymmetrical blazer cape and anchored with lace-up brogues.

I love the dress, but her accessories don’t do anything for the look.

What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?

Rita Ora appeared at the X Factor UK Manchester Auditions in the same $1,875 Versace Red Cutout Viscose Blend Crepe Dress Irina Shayk wore to the Vogue Paris Foundation Gala:

Both ladies opted for red footwear, Rita went for 70’s chic in thigh high boots and Irina opted for red pumps.
Her dress features a collar with front cutout detailing, a sleeveless silhouette, fitted waist, asymmetrical hem, and two side pockets. Rita’s version features a tortoiseshell buckle.

Not too keen on the boots and tights with Rita’s look, so Irina wins this round for me!

We’ve got a great Bombshell today!
Take a look at Sahanie from Texas:

She writes, “I would describe my style as monochromatic…”

“… sexy…”


“… and classy.”


“Fashion is most definitely a form of my expression.”

” I dress in different colors & shades depending on my mood.”

” I also love being able to switch up my style, while still being consistent and true to myself.”


“You can see more of me on Instagram: @sahanie.”

Hot! Work! You’re a Bombshell. Love your monochromatic and all denim looks.
Be sure to follow Sahanie on IG @sahanie.
