“I’ve always been inspired by fashionable women of the past like Diana Ross and Dorothy Dandridge.”

kfb3

“However, if I had to pick two women that are constantly inspiring my wardrobe now it would be Solange and Kerry Washington.”

kfb4

“I lean towards classic silhouettes but there must be something special about the piece for me to wear it.”

kfb5

 

“Color is my best friend and I try to incorporate it into as many of my looks as possible.”

kfb10

 

“I die for beautiful feminine pieces and lord knows I love a good print! “

kfb6

“I adore fashion but I try not to become a slave to too many trends.”

kfb7

“I love the Fashion Bomb Daily and it would be an honor to showcase my style on your blog.”

So I’m finally in Atlanta! It took me a little bit longer than expected to get here, but I’m so happy to be back home and about Cocktails with Claire tonight!
Today’s Bombshell is another Southern Belle. Check out Sydnee from Hoover, Alabama:

She says, “I like to describe my style as “Simple Chic”, it’s pretty effortless.”

“I love to stick to classic pieces and spice it up with jewelry, a printed clutch or bomb shoes.”

“My top 2 style inspirations are Rihanna and Elin Kling.”


” I think my style is a mix of the two.”


“I’m 5’8 & I’m absolutely in love with my height, even in heels.”


“I recently started my fashion blog called Front Paige (www.frontpaige.weebly.com) & thought this would be the perfect way to reach a bigger group of fashionistas :)”


“I’m addicted to online shopping & love any excuse to dress up!”


“I post updates on my Instagram (@sydneepaige54) & am on Bloglovin as well!”


You’re a gorgeous girl! Would’ve loved to see a full view of that printed skirt!

I’m rushing to the airport, as I’m headed to down south for Cocktails with Claire Atlanta (have you RSVP’d yet? If not, do so here).
To bless my Southern excursion, I decided to feature Georgia Peach, Whitney, as Bombshell of the Day:

She types, “We meet again fly world! I am a former Bombshell of the Day.”

” At the time, it was a surprise to me as a friend of mine submitted my entry. No regrets or apologies for my style featured, however I wanted to submit my choice picks this time around! Allow me to re-introduce myself..! “


“I’m the girl who failed Physical Education in school because I refused to dress out. What does this say about me? Dress down for what?! LOL.”


“My style philosophy is that life is just way too short to blend in. So for me, everyday is a fashion show.”

” I don’t limit my serve. I can serve you a main dish with two sides or many dishes with one side.”


“In other words, I LOVE to mix and mingle! Especially with prints and color. I often get “I wish I had your style..” and I tell that individual “no ma’am you don’t! You have your own, embrace it!” “


“I enjoy encouraging my ladies to be the best at whatever you do BEST and look fierce while doing it. Rock out with the stiletto and Ruby Woo! Yaaaaas. “


“You can see more of my haute mess at www.stylishlYours.com or on Instagram and Twitter @stylishlYours.”


” Y’all keep it cute out here!”

Your spunky style description was enough to win me over. I love it!

Fashion Discussion: Do Rappers Devalue Brands?

An interesting discussion erupted on Instagram when we posted a picture of Nicki Minaj wearing a Versace Medusa Studded Bathing Suit and Versace Pumps:

nicki minaj love more video versace studded medusa bustier and shoes
> on October 22, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada.


Ms_Thresha commented, “Rappers kill brand names smh.” She further expounded, ” [There’s] nothing wrong with wearing [brands]. But when I say rappers kill name brands, it’s the stupid basic songs they make etc.” @_kingneek agreed, typing, “YES! I say that all the time. They bring the value of everything down.”


@Ms_Thresha and _@KingNeek are undoubtedly alluding to a spate of songs past and present where rappers uplift European houses with catchy tunes. The unofficial video for Migos’sVersace, Versace‘ song featuring Drake, Meek Mill, and Tyga has received 1.5 million views on Youtube, and innumerable social media and pop culture shout outs. Soulja Boy’s 2009 hit ‘Gucci Bandana’ has garnered upwards of 6.5 million views on the popular video sharing platform.


But is this bad news for brands? @SuzytheGlamazon fired back, “Nicki Minaj has always worn Versace since the beginning of her career. Lil Kim and Biggie used to wear Versace heavy. I don’t know why everyone makes a big deal over rappers endorsing their favorite brands.” @DrRedFoxx offered the final thought on the pic, saying, “Actually, Versace isn’t having any sales. They are still just as expensive. People interested in reaching that level of “success” will STILL buy the brand. If anything it has been been free advertising.”

I tend to agree with the latter part of the group. Brands from Givenchy to Céline to Versace have rappers to thank for a part of their success and household name status. Sure, these houses have exceptional standards of quality and have been rocking with core customers for years. But now they benefit from a new demographic who will snatch up everything from overpriced t-shirts to button downs, sunglasses, and sneakers. I mean, we all remember Versace’s 3 time appearance at this year’s BET Awards.


2chainz-bet-awards-2012

Do these notoriously exclusive, elitist brands like the free press? Do they want rappers in their clothes? Maybe not. But a rapper, as with any consumer, will like what he likes and buy what he wants. And what he likes, he will rap about.

If anything rap songs increase the value of brands. They make items more covetable, perhaps unwittingly raise prices, and drive the bottom line of houses who I’m sure don’t really mind the extra money. In some cases rappers play a vital part in brand revival. Yes, Riccardo Tisci is a creative genius, but let’s be honest: Givenchy wouldn’t be what it is today without Kanye and his crew snapping up every graphic tee and Madonna sweater in sight. I’m sure Hubert de Givenchy never saw that one coming.
And all press is good press, right?

2nd time’s a charm for some Bombshells, and we’ll see if that’s the case for Kade aka Kadejah from LA:

She writes, “The art of developing your style comes through trial and error, says Kade from KadesMode.

” Kade was once a Fashion Bombshell of the Day on a previous feature with Fashion Bomb. Since then, Kade’s personal style has evolved into finding the happy medium from college student to the professional fashion entrepreneur.”


“Living through her motto “style because the first thing they judge is appearance” Kade embarks on the journey of pushing the envelope with the perception of trends and the quality of your image.”


” One too many times I had to struggle with finding the comfort of dressing for my body, staying within budget and setting trends.”


“But in order to set trends I had to be able to take the risk by pairing things I wouldn’t normally put together or see. “


“And that’s where I started to find comfort in myself and the things I like.”

” Not every day you’ll wake up and understand the way you’re feeling, and when we get dressed, what wear potentially has the capability to uplift our ego and attitude. So if I’m feeling down, I’ll do something funky to my hair, something spunky to my nails, or wear some farfetched shoes.”


” In this, I find comfort that fashion is on you, and style is in you.”


“Check me out for more inspiration here: www.kadesmode.com or @KadesMode via instagram or twitter.”


Hot! I can definitely see your style evolution, and you’ve blossomed beautifully. Just watch out for that snake, girl!

Happy Friday!
So this morning, I was invited by Famous Footwear to attend Good Morning America’s concert series featuring Ne-Yo, followed by brunch with celebrity stylist Diandre Tristan.

The day kicked off at 8am, with a few tunes by Ne-Yo himself in Central Park, followed by CD signings and a quick photo opp (Mr. Compound was rocking gold grills on his bottom teeth and Christopher Kane Grey Printed Creature Pants).


Then we were off to chat fashion with Diandre Tristan, who, as you may know, styles Tamar Braxton and GMA’s own Robin Roberts. He showed us a few fall perfect looks for less featuring items from H&M and Zara, topped off by shoes from Famous Footwear.



Would you wear any of the above?
After the presentation, I grabbed a quick pic with Diandre (who is SUPER sweet):

Then made my way back to Brooklyn to blog it up!
It was a great way to start my day.

She says, “If I had to define my style I’d probably go for fun versatility.”

Yvie-From-New-Jersey-2

“Fun because I love color, statement pieces (whether it be a pattern, shoe, or accessory), and eye catching details;”

Yvie-From-New-Jersey

“Versatile because I don’t particularly draw inspiration from one style, trend, or fashion statement.”

Yvie-From-New-Jersey-3

“Also, living in a location where you experience 4 seasons of different weather, you have to be able to switch it up…stylishly of course.”

Yvie-From-New-Jersey-8

“Overall, I like to dab into a little something something from everywhere.”

Yvie-From-New-Jersey-7

Yvie-From-New-Jersey-6

“I would be lying if I didn’t say that I am hella nervous about this submission but since I am working on overcoming fears I said to myself ‘just do it.'”
“I started blogging earlier this year and I just began vlogging on YouTube as well.”

Yvie-From-New-Jersey-4

Cute! My favorite look would have to be your Beyoncé  x H&M maxi dress!
