Although we stuck a fork in the Herve Leger trend back in 2008, it seems fashionistas are still running to Leger’s atelier for his skin skimming, positively flattering frocks. Dania Ramirez attended the premiere of the movie “2012” in a yellow number with blush inserts, while Letoya Luckett went for more traditional gray at the 2009 Soul Train Awards:
Today we’re rounding out our Fall / Winter Fashion Checklist with yummy colorful totes, statement necklaces, patterned tights, and wild card winter accessories!
Feel free to go crazy with these super fun adornments with a diversity of embellishments, hues, and shapes!
Totes:
Always have at least a black or brown bag on hand, then play around with burgundy, deep green, alluring orange, and mustard yellows:
Statement Necklaces:
We at the Fashion Bomb have shown our allegiance to the ubiquitous statement necklace, an accessory that can liven up even the most boring knit sweater or dress:
Patterned Tights:
Look-at-me tights are the hottest trend off the Fall 2009 runway. Take a cue from Solange who loves tights in black, purple, and pink dominated patterns:
Wild Card Accessories:
Save on leather gloves, waist cinching belts, drop down earrings, and more:
Vuitton here with a new segment for you bomb readers!
Ever came across an old pic of your mom and thought how fierce she looked back in the day? Well, now here’s your chance to have her, family members, or friends make their debut! Send in your fashionable vintage pics (circa early 90’s and older) to thefashionbomb@gmail.com, and we’ll post the most fab pic of the day!
I guess you can say it’s a spin-off of our “Bombshell of the Day.” I’ll kick things off with some pics of my sister:
My sister always had a thing for color and was never afraid to think outside the box when it came to her outfits.
Fab, no?
So, what are you waiting for? Start scanning those pics!

Kanye West is a definite sneaker head, and has no problem dropping big bucks for cool kicks. He was spied wearing a pair of $785 Raf Simons Neoprene Leather Sneakers not too long ago as an accent to an all black outfit:
The splurgeworthy sneaks feature fine leather, synthetic rubber, and a cool color palette.
Of course with brisk weather, you need cozy knit hats, scarfs, and sweaters to keep you warm!
If you have a neutral colored coat, brighten the winter doldrums with colorful sweaters and knit accessories! Save on your everyday pieces, and splurge on a few cashmere numbers you can wear from year to year! First up: Sweaters:
This year, opt for more than your traditional turtle and crew necks. Jazz up your wardrobe with tie neck options or fun tunic length sizzlers with fun patterns, hues, and prints:
Sweater Dresses:
This is one of my absolute faves as you can simply slip this on with a pair of boots and tights and be on your way! I personally have one dress in black and gray that I wear all the time, then a few other fun frocks that can work for a night out or dinner date:
Scarves:
Swaddle your neck in a long scarf that goes well with your personality. Of course have one black, ivory, and gray scarf on hand, then get one in your favorite color (I have this striped baby blue that I LOVE):
Hats & Gloves:
Go crazy with berets, knit caps, fingerless gloves and more:

Guys, join in the fun with quirky cardigans or brightly colored crewnecks:
