With major trends pushing their way to the forefront on every blog and clothing website, it’s just nice to see something classic, but a little edgy. The heart patterns and the ring’s dome like structure just scream holiday cheer to me. And you only have to pay $42 for it. Check it out here if you wanna add some bling to your outfits this holdiay.

All this 90’s nostalgia made me look to one of my favorite throwback hits, I wanna be Down by Brandy:
I used to rock braids, and looked to Brandy for style and makeup cues before I developed a look of my own.
Enjoy!
Bombshells!
I was cruising over at my homies blog, Paris Most Wanted, and came across a piece they did on artist Kiddy Smile:
Apparently the 23-year-old (neé Pierre Edouard), is the hottest thing to hit the Parisian fashion scene in a long time:
The multi-talented dancer, singer, graphic designer, and stylist has worked with Kanye West, danced in videos for Daftpunk and George Michael, and collaborated with brands like LRG and Insight.
Apparently he’s one to watch!

It’s been quite a while since we’ve had some Vintage Fab! Today we’re taking it to the 90’s with this snapshot of reader Christina’s sister’s high school friends:
She says, “I found this picture of my older sister and some of her high school friends in the 90’s and I thought it would be great for vintage fab! That’s my sister with the short cut and the vest in the middle. I think the floral print home girl is rocking on the right is great. And I might actually wear those glasses the guy’s wearing in the lower left LOL…they’re on point!”
So much fun! I’m loving the GQ poses in the front row more than anything else!
What do you guys think of this Vintage Fab?
Taraji P. Henson attended the 25th Annual Film Independent Spirit Award Nominations in a classic work ready sparkle sequin gray sweater, matching pencil skirt, and smart black pumps:
Splurge on a similar gray sweater, then save on everything else:

Celebs recovered from the holidays and made it out to Snowflake Balls, Galas, and Press Events:
Socialites Susan Fales Hill, Lauren Bush, and Maggie Betts
Hmm, hard choice this week! Though the ladies brought it, I must say, Drake is looking quite dapper in his velvet blazer. Maybe he read our trend report on the luxe fabric?

Fashion Bomb friend Kesh (who we wrote about here) is the latest artist to join the ranks of Hype Means Nothing:
You may remember, we reported on Hype Means Nothing’s cool tee’s in this vintage Paris Boutique Spotlight:
It seems Kesh put a unique spin on the ‘finger glasses’ look, instead going for a complete ‘hands over the eyes’ steeze:
To purchase Hype Means Nothing tees online, visit their website www.hypemeansnothing.com and purchase at www.buymeansnothing.com. They’re a splurge, but Kesh just reinforced what we already knew: the line is hot!

Amber Alert!
The studs of last season have been reupped and replaced by sharp, shiny spikes!
Extra Rated R Rihanna has been going hard with spiked shoulders, dresses, and full on tracksuits for publicity parties and red carpet events.
Of course not too far behind is the imfamous Lady Gaga who wears spiked, hooded, painful looking bodysuits.
Even the normally demure Alicia Keys went for a spiked edge rocking a sparkly silver cuff.
And red carpet regularMelody Thornton took the look to a new level with a spike lapel jacket and matching boots. As an aside, do we have a new Style Star on our hands?
If you want to incorporate the look into your everyday life, do so with fun accessories like shoes, necklaces, and bracelets:
Will you be trying this trend?
We’re taking it back up North for today’s Bombshell: Jakeedah from Atlantic City, New Jersey:
The Jersey stylista is currently a Coors Light promotional model, but says, “ Although being a promo model is pretty cookie cutter I like to use accessories to set myself apart from the other girls.”
She continues, “I live in Atlantic City, NJ and being near Philly and New York City has allowed me to develop a style that merges elements from both cities (with a touch of Jersey flair in there too).“
“I love fashion and style and write a fashion blog called Diary of a Style Addict (diaryofastyleaddict.typepad.com).”
Wow, unofficial poll, how many of you guys are bloggers as well?
At any rate, Jakeedah, feeling those fingerless gloves and your hair! Represent!
