Today’s holiday ready look is tailored for the bad girl who loves the look of luxury without the high price tags. We found a handful of hot separates perfect for a low key yet fashionable event. Look fly for less in a one shoulder sequin top, affordable ripped jeans, faux fur, and cubic zirconia earrings. If the weather’s still mild in your neck of the woods, top everything off with a silver sandal. Otherwise, why not try the season’s hottest thigh high boots?
Go for even more low key by subbing in a simple white tank in place of your sequined top!

When I won the intern contest for the Fashion Bomb, one of the fabulous prizes was a $250 gift certificate to Gilt Groupe. I had a hard time figuring out how I was going to use it until I saw these shoes. Clae’s offer the perfect mix of preppy and urban without going overboard: even with the prices harboring around $150. Not bad for the omen we call “the recession”. I have the green ones above, and they’re pretty comfortable. But for the high-tops, I suggest getting the next half size to a full size up. The colors are pretty dope. Just enough to brighten up any fit for the season. You can check the website here, or take a look at a few below:
Seems like a few of our fab bombshells made their way to Letterman this week! It was Leona Lewis’ turn, and she rocked a very laid back, rock star chic ensemble. The over-the-knee boots are to die for and so is that Stella McCartney Falabella Bucket Bag.Â
Love the look? Get it for less than Leona’s purse below:
2008 witnessed Obama-mania, as designers like Sonia Rykiel, Rachel Roy, and Zac Posen fashioned stylish t-shirts and dresses supporting the election of our new President.
In 2009, however, Barack was eclipsed in the fashion department by his fabulously down to earth yet effortlessly chic wife, Michelle.
Michelle’s style from inauguration to the G20 summit and beyond has spawned lookbooks and blogs, and sent J.Crew’s stock skyward thanks to her propensity for their cashmere cardigans and pencil skirts. Most notable for her patronage of younger designers, she has worn everyone from Jason Wu to Thakoon to Sophie Theallat.
Let’s take a look at some of her best looks:
She dazzled at Barack’s inauguration in January, slipping on an Isabel Toledo coat, Nina Ricci sweater, and Jimmy Choo heels.
And celebrated that night in an ethereal Jason Wu creation with jewelry by Loree Rodkin.
As she began to settle into her White House life, she also began to settle into her personal style, which quickly became defined by pencil skirts, kitten heels, and cardigans set off by waist cinching belts.
Though she did diverge from the norm at times, choosing showstoppers like this vibrant dress by Stevie Wonder’s wife, Kai Milla…
Colorful creations like this dress by Jason Wu….
… Conversation pieces like this oft asked about Basso & Burke blouse…
…And saucy shifts like this ravishing red Moises de la Renta…
She generally kept it classy yet pretty in prim J.Crew separates and demure heels…
And playful shirtdresses like this number by Sophie Theallat.
Whether in floor length gowns or comfy sneakers, Michelle has brought a renewed flavor to the White House, and created the biggest fashion furor over a First Lady I’ve ever personally seen.
As the winter becomes more frightful, tons of celebs are pulling out warm items to stave off the chill. Last night Kimora and Rihanna opted for fur, with Rihanna working an oversize fur hat, and Kimora wearing a light brown fur for a red carpet event.
All you have to do is click on Peta’s website to get the lowdown on the cruelty involved with the creation of fashionable fur items. But some people simply turn a blind eye to the practice–I mean if we eat animals, then why not wear them?
It’s a debate that’s raged on for years in the fashion industry, and now I’m bringing it to you, fair Bombshells. When it comes to fashion: to fur or not to fur?
Though they each succeeded individually by scoring international and domestic covers and editorials, these four glamazons looked most flawless when together. In 2009 they compiled an amazing body of work, shooting with the best photographers and magazines in the industry.
Let’s take a look at a few highlights from this year:
Chanel and Jourdan kicked off the year with a designer filled shoot for Vogue’s January 2009 issue shot by David Sims.

And inside, Chanel and Arlenis posed for Patrick Demarchelier with their boyfriends, Tyga and Rene Rodriguez.

That same month Chanel and Arlenis both appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, posing for Peter Lindbergh in a Harlem Renaissance themed editorial called, “And all That Jazz.“
In October Chanel and Sessilee joined forces for an Allure Magazine ‘Bombshells’ shoot.
Chanel and Jourdan collaborated with Craig McDean for Vogue’s October Issue.
Finally, covergirls Chanel and Jourdan looked pretty and fresh for Teen Vogue’s November issue.

The French brand was founded in 1952, but has been getting major shine lately thanks to trendsetters like Kanye, Tyrese, and Wale rocking their down jackets and vests.
Of course as with anything rapper related, Moncler’s are expensive. They range in price from $400 for a vest to $1300 for a jacket. Yikes!
But I’m sure they’re super warm. Take a look at options and colors here:
