Hey Guys!
So 3 years ago on December 13th, 2006, I received my first Wardrobe Query in my inbox! Since then I’ve tried my very best to provide you guys with wardrobe solutions and celebrity looks for less. Today is no exception!

First up, Adobea says, “I was wondering if you could help me find something similar to the jacket I saw Teyana Taylor wearing at Trina & Nicky Minaj’s birthday bash recently.”


“…I MUST have it, lol.”
Hey! The closest I could find to her cream leather studded stunner was this $330 option from Topshop:

The jacket is more simple, and therefore more versatile’s than Teyana’s choice. Purchase here.

Nikki says, “Can you tell me who makes Rachel Roy’s clutch? I also saw it in another color in yesterday’s Week in Chic...”


“I need it!!!”
Rachel and Tallulah Adeyemi both chose Louis Vuitton’s Coquette Clutch from its Fall 2009 Runways:

Now for some wardrobe queries!
First Arielle says, “I just bought a black boyfriend jacket with a lace inset on the back…what can I pair this piece with?”
Take a cue from Alicia Key’s American Music Awards performance outfit and pair your lace inset black jacket with skinny black pants and gladiator heels:

Get the look here:

Synim says, “ I’m having a Birthday Party/Event at a jazz club with a live performance and would like to get some suggestions on a cute dress, shoes and handbag (that won’t break the bank). I want to be sexy and stand out because after all, it is my special day!!!”
We found 20 dress options for you under $100 and threw in a few shoe and clutch options for good measure:

Lastly, Fatimah says, “In February I’m going to Trinidad for Carnival (woot woot!) and I’m playing mas, meaning I’ll be in a sexy little costume dancing all day for 2 days straight! When I went in ’08 I noticed lots of women wore boots they decorated to match with their costumes. I’m completely into this trend and I’m thinking it would be a good alternative to sneakers. I’m challenging you to find some shoes or boots that will set off my red, sari-inspired costume.

” Also, all shoes must be flat (2 days of dancing does not equal heels), comfy, and under $100.”
Hey! Sounds like fun. I’ve been to Junkanoo in the Bahamas, so am pretty sure I know what you’re going for. The best I could find were these $82 Adele Leather Suede Pixie Boots from ASOS:

Get them here and have fun!
Smootches!
*Reminisce on the first ever Mail Bombs posts here. We’ve come a long way!

Go for a Bohemian vibe this weekend in a loose fit jersey dress, slouchy knit beret, patent booties, and dark liquid eyeliner:

While we tend to think tight and low cut are the keys to a sexy vibe, you can look equally sophisticated and saucy in draped asymmetrical pieces paired with alluringly sky high stilettos:

We have a little Vintage Fabulousness today!

Dara sends in throwback pix of her three older sisters LaTosha, Naisha, and Kalisha:

She says, “They have been rocking the trendiest clothes since they were baby fashionistas and have definitely helped my style evolve over the years!”

These are the cutest pictures ever!! Seriously, love the style, especially the baby poses! What do you guys think of this Vintage Fab?

Smootches!

PS Get to scanning this weekend and send in your examples of Vintage Fab!

While the jury’s still out on Dirty Money’s musical prowess, it’s pretty clear their sense of style is on point. The group stepped out in an assortment of outfits, all anchored by ubiquitous black fabulousness. Diddy wore all black simply accented with patent leather sneakers and a silver cross. Ladies Kalenna and Dawn stood out thanks to their dope hairstyles, lace up boots, and details like fringes and ruffles. Get their look below:

Supima had a call for designers (that we wrote about here), and six emerging fashion designers have been selected to compete in the Supima Design Competition and Runway Show this January! The final six talented designers include: Gina Desilva, Nadia Ivanova, Robin Tomas, Michael Venker, Herber Sanchez and design duo To-Tam Ton-Nu and To-Nya Ton-Nu.
The designs will be judged by Wall Street Journal contributor Teri Agins, New York Times editor Horacio Silva, Dean of Fashion at Parsons, Simon Collins and Bloomingdale’s buyer Chris Frye.
Based on the designs (above) who do you think will win?

Alicia Keys was in a blue yet jubilant mood last night in London, rocking a blue and white belted dress, blue tights, and electric blue booties for her Elements of Freedom album release party.

I’ve gotta admit: I love the dress. And with the hoops and multilayered chains, Alicia exudes an around the way girl meets Caribbean Queen aura. My outfit love affair, however, ends with those boots.  Perhaps she could have matched her black belt with black pumps?
What do you think?

Hey Guys!
Submissions have been slow, but when we get a Bombshell, she’s brings it!
Today we have a repeat Bombshell, Kelly from Brooklyn, NY:

For her first submission, Kelly offered a beauty shot:

But a lot of you asked to view her clothes! She responded, saying, “The feedback was great , but I felt compelled to give my fellow Fashion Bomb readers more fashion.”

“I’m sending a few outfits as a part of a mini fashion profile on moi!“

“I’d be very interested to see how readers would mix-n-match differently or what they would add or take away from one of the looks!”

Kelly, you have amazing style and show lots of creativity with your hairstyles. Loves!

Your thoughts? What do you think of Kelly’s second submission?
