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.

Fellow blogger Christina of Love Brown Sugar rocked a dashiki inspired dress from Shop Zuvaa (that I have in cream) and platform sandals.

There were lots of bloggers in the house, including Kela Walker of Kela’s Kloset, who wore a Joe’s Fresh striped dress, Uniqlo vest, and Target heels.

Isis from HypeHair.com repped her brand to the max with a fantastically hype hairstyle.

This gorgeous diva paired an African print top with a flared skirt and red pumps.

I appreciate this guest’s menswear inspired look. And her hair? Gorgeous!

Style Expert Tai Beauchamp was in the building, and draped a Laquan Smith lace coat over a white tank and jeans. Keep an eye out for Tai–she has a new show on TLC called Dare to Wear that debuts this Friday! Check it out!

And I went for silver with a Byron Lars Sequin Kimono Top, an MSGM skirt, and Casadei heels.

It was a great event, and I got a chance to chat it up with Sevyn! Maybe we can do a Closet Confessions video with her. Would you guys be down?

At any rate, P & G’s My Black is Beautiful program is amazing. It’s all about affirming black beauty, no matter the shade or shape. See a trailer for their documentary below:

Here’s hoping I can get more involved in the years to come…!

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.

The double layered skirt has a side zip.

I’ll be honest, this purchase was partly inspired by recent Bombshell Glency from the Dominican Republic.

Black is more neutral, and can work with most things in my wardrobe.

I love it! And the price is right;)

If you like it also, get yours at Zara.com.

How would you wear it?

I love Mindy Kaling, find her hilarious, and adore that she has so much fun with fashion!
The comedian attended a Writers Panel for her hit show in a glittering Marc Jacobs dress and Jimmy Choo pumps.

Yep, berry lip!

Her dress was modeled in red in Jacobs’s Resort 2015 collection.

Her pumps have a silver cap toe.

It’s a beautiful dress! She looks nice, though I think I prefer her in less covered up looks (with more color!).

Broadway star Vanessa Hudgens was spotted in New York City sporting a summer perfect $98 Urban Outfitters Ecote Black and White Strappy Back Double Slit Safari Maxi Dress:

Her breezy printed maxi dress boasts a lightweight airy construction with high symmetrical side slits.

The frock comes complete with a fitted bodice, v-neck and thin straps that criss-cross at the open strappy back.

Simple yet saucy. Love it!

Now, how would you wear it?

If you haven’t yet heard of Maison Kitsuné, then get familiar! Maison Kitsuné is a French fashion brand and record label that launched in 2002, artfully combining both worlds of fashion and music.

More exciting is their newest collaboration with vocalist, songwriter and visual artist Kilo Kish in a new capsule collection. Kilo Kish, born Lakisha Kimberly “Kish” Robinson, has been slowly infiltrating the music scene with her music since 2012 and has received music and fashion accolades from Rolling Stone, MTV, Vogue, and Elle to name a few.

Kilo Kish wanted to infuse her American roots with this iconic French brand and designed a collection of striped tees and accessories, including a cotton scarf, an iPhone case, and tote bag.

Kilo Kish exudes all the casual chic cool that women on both sides of the Atlantic celebrate. I’m loving the curls in the campaign for the capsule collection!

The lightweight sweaters will make for the perfect add-on during cool summer nights and everything she designed was meant to go with your favorite pair of denim jeans.

The iPhone case features a paint-inspired spotted and striped print. Before starting as a musician, Kilo Kish partially attended the Pratt Institute and completed her education at FIT, so her capsule collection certainly came from solid fashion credentials. In a show of cross-cultural unity, her custom tote featured both the French and American flag.

What do you think of Kilo Kish’s collaboration with Maison Kitsuné?

Along with Naomie Harris, Leona Lewis popped by the European Premiere of Entourage! The songstress opted for a Roland Mouret dress for the night.

She accented her look with nude pumps and a white jacket placed on her shoulders.

See the print from her frock in the brand’s Resort 2015 collection.

I think she looks pretty! I might’ve lost the jacket, but I can see where she was going.

Garcelle Beauvais got fancy with her stunning self at the Step Up Women’s Network 12th Annual Inspiration Awards, sporting a $99 Zara Yellow Layered Low Back Dress and $930 Aquazzura Yellow, Red, And Blue Colorblock Leather Sandals:

Her flawless makeup and sleek mid-length bob hairstyle were simply ravishing!

The Layered dress has a boat neck, a flowing cut, wide sleeves, and a low cut back.

Her stand out 4 1/2″ stiletto heel stompers were a Bomb Product of the day! They are crafted from contrasting panels of red and yellow patent-leather with bright-blue elaphe.

She looks amazing! I guess 40s is the new 30s huh?

Purchase her dress here and shoe here.

Our Editior-In-Chic, Claire Sulmers, is also a fan of the summery yellow frock, adding a touch of contrast with lust worthy Prada Triple Strap Wavy Sandals.

So, what do you think? Which look is more your speed?

Angela Simmons showed off her stems in NYC in a $18 H&M Linen Blend Tank Top, pleated mini skirt, and $895 Prada Ankle Strap Platform Sandals.

A Chanel Boy bag added an extra designer touch.

Her straight-cut top in a linen blend has raw edges at the armholes.

Her 5.5″ heels have an open toe, a wide toe band, and an ankle strap with a polished silvertone buckle. See them below in black.

Get her top at H&M, get a similar skirt at Yoox.com, and cop her heels at Barneys.
Will you be recreating this look?

Today’s Bombshell is Keshia from ATL!

She says, “ I describe my style as casual chic with a bit of edge.”

” I love bold patterns, colors, and prints.”


” I like having fun with what I wear, but doing so while keeping comfort in mind.”


” I love dressing up with heels pretty tops and skirts, but I also love throwing on some cute sneakers and a graphic tee when running around town.”


” I do not make many outfit choices by following fashion trends. I just enjoy shopping and I allow my intuition to guide me.”


” When shopping, I will gravitate towards any items that catch my eye. And since I love bold patterns and color, most often, my outfits will include items of that nature.”


Cute, simple, and chic. You’re a Bombshell!
