She also wore a $69 Elan Boho Top: a Summer-perfect piece for a steal.
Her white tunic features an off-the-shoulder silhouette and smocked neckline.
Her cotton and silk-blend shorts showcase a concealed hook-and-eye and zip fly fastening at the front, a high rise, belt loops, all over embroidered floral finish, two slip pockets, center pleat detailing, and a scalloped hem.
Her black leather sandals feature curved cutout detailing, lace-up ties, and 4″ heels.
The hat and sandals weren’t the best pairings here…
B’s sandals are sold-out, but get her shorts here.
We’re a little over a week from the official start of Summer and I’m so excited!
This week, celebs made TV appearances, celebrated at launch parties, and let off a little steam for a night out in floral frocks, sultry LBDs, and sheer ensembles.
Let’s get into their looks shall we?
Nicole Richie played host on Extra in a floral print Valentino frock and classic cap-toe pumps. She always has fun with fashion and I love it!
Sydney was Shanina Shaik’s backdrop as she posed at Carla Zampatti’s 50th Anniversary show in a lace LBD from the brand. Amazing figure, great dress, and flawless makeup = hot!
Blac Chyna is no stranger to flaunting her figure, and she slipped on a perforated short-sleeve open jacket, bustier top, and sheer lace skirt while partying at 1OAK in LA. This looks very similar to a ‘fit ex-BFF Kim Kardashian wore this season, but hey: no one woman has the rights to sheer designs am I right?
A puff-sleeve orange mini dress was Kendall Jenner’s choice at the Dosso Dossi Fashion Show in Antalya. Not in love with the shoe choice here, but the frock is cute.
Mollie King always gives just the right amount of flair to a look that would be simple otherwise, this week uplifting a classic LWD with a contrast belt cinching her waist and flirty ankle-strap sandals at the Louis Vuitton launch party across the pond in London.
At the Camilla and Marc Dinner celebrating their Resort 2016 collection, Olivia Culpo showed her support for the brand in a navy strapless double-breasted top and trousers. One of the most polished and refined looks of the month thus far!
Jessica Alba smiled for the paparazzi, adding a casual tinge to a white textured cutout dress and silver platform sandals with a denim jacket. So chic.
Last, but not least was Jasmin Walia who posed at the At Now Smart Girls Fake It Campaign with Superdrug Solait Launch Party in a high-neck halter mini dress, simple ankle-strap sandals, and a rose pink clutch. Less would have definitely been best here accessories-wise.

Armina Mussa, longtime business partner to artist Solange, has finally spoken out on her terrible stabbing incident in April. Charges have been filed and bestie Solange issued a statement of support: “Watching Armina’s strength, courage, grace, and positivity during this time of hardship has been nothing short of a miracle. She is a true reflection of the word, survivor, and a testament of resilience. I couldn’t be more proud of my dear friend.” (The YBF)
It’s official! Raven-Symoné will be joining the cast of The View as a permanent host. We gotta give props to a woman working; Raven-Symoné most recently guest-starred on Fox’s Empire and ABC’s Black-ish. Known for her no-holds-barred perspective, Raven-Symoné is sure to bring her fresh and funny take on all things pop culture. (E! Online)

Jaden Smith has been getting his fair share of press, first for wearing a dress to prom, and then for returning to Twitter. Now, the young actor is scoring a few headlines for signing on to Baz Luhrmann’s new project The Get Down. Smith will play a graffiti writer in the work which will debut as a 13-episode drama on Netflix come 2016. (StyleBlazer)
Orange is The New Black‘s Laverne Cox will become the first ever transgender Madame Tussauds wax figure this month during Pride Weekend in San Francisco. The museum said in a statement that they were proud to celebrate her achievements and impact. The figure will reside in the San Francisco branch of the museum. (Sydney Morning Herald)
This comes a little late but it deserves to be spread: Zendaya Coleman continues to be one of the most level headed and mindful of young celebrities out there these days. In a Facebook video the singer/actress/sometime designer obliquely responds to a media world fueled by reports of which celebrity decided to go natural and “Have You Seen Lady Gaga’s New Look?!” As told by Z: “It should not be a phenomenon if a girl decides to or not to wear makeup. If you want to beat that face down, then beat it down! If you want to go natural, then go natural! Do you boo, boo! Be happy!” From her lips to the ears of every woman around the world. (Teen Vogue)
For the past year or so people have been screaming about how badly J. Crew is doing, and the sales reports have provided evidence. Now, the company is clearly taking very decisive and visible moves to change that. This week, the brand has eliminated 175 jobs at corporate, fired their head of womenswear and taken the old head of design for Madewell and incorporated him into the J. Crew fold. Talk about action. Somsack Sikhounmuong is largely credited with the growth of Madewell, and J. Crew is likely hoping that he can replicate his success at their much bigger company. Expect less of a focus on Jenna Lyon and her premium J. Crew Collection and more on the basics. (Fashionista)
Have you heard of Procter & Gamble’s My Black is Beautiful initiative? Their Imagine a Future program was created to reach and teach millions of black women that they are beautiful through camps, inspirational initiatives and documentary screenings.
Last night they hosted a fab dinner to celebrate reaching 3.2 million girls and women with the program.
They tapped Sevyn Streeter to perform a few of her hits, including Don’t Kill the Fun and It Won’t Stop.
Before the revelry, I caught a bit of Real Style from the fashionable attendees.
Take a look:
How cute is Sevyn Streeter? And she’s super sweet as well! Before hitting the stage, she looked casually cute in a long black vest and ripped black jeans.
So the 10 of you who read TheBombLife.com are well aware of my 3 Month Shopping Challenge!
Basically I am trying to be more financially responsible, and am starting this summer by cutting back on splurges, allowing myself $1,000 a month for clothes. I’m keeping costs low–and one of the items I’ve purchased thus far is Zara’s $70 fringed skirt.
