It’s pretty busy on this side of the pond, but we always make time for Mail Bombs.

Let’s get started!
First Kisha says, “I saw this picture of Alicia Keys leaving the Alexa Chung show:”

“…I love everything! Where can I get her look?”
We got you! Mimic Alicia’s cool style with these affordable items:

Next Shantae says, “Can you please tell the name of the shoes that Paula Patton is wearing in this pic (and where I can find them)?”

“… These are a MUST have!!”
We searched and searched for these, and the closest we could find in style were these $492 Roberto Cavalli stunners:

If they’re out of your price range, get a similar look for less with these lovelies:

In another shoe Mail Bomb, Cassie says, “I am in love with the shoes Ashanti wore for VH1’s Hip Hop Honors!”

“…who makes them?”
According to Red Carpet Fashion Awards, Ashanti is rocking these $650 Givenchy Western platform sandals in beige with a Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 blazer.

Get the shoes at www.barneys.com.

Cherice says, ” I recently saw Jazmin Sullivan’s new commercial for Cotton and I’m dying to find out where I can get a printed lady coat like the one she has on.”

“…Please help!”
Sure thing! Get Jazmine’s look with these options:

Asha says, “I DESPERATELY need the shades that June Ambrose wore to the Black Girls Rock event.”

“… Any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!”
June’s shades look like they could be these $150 Chloé Square framed sunglasses:

If not, the style isn’t hard to mimic with these options:

Lastly, in a wardrobe query, Shanté says, “I really need your help. I’m jumping the broom in Vegas on Halloween….more like eloping. I bought this dress but I have no clue what to wear with it.”

“… The sash is optional and I haven’t decided if I’m wearing it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!”
Hey Shanté! Congrats!
The dress (without the sash) is relatively plain, so you better dress it up! It’s a celebration!
Pile on glittery rhinestone bangles, slip on a pair of elegantly embellished sandals, and throw on a pair of dangling earrings to kick off your big day. Keep everything neutral in case you decide to add on the colorful sash at the last minutes:

Good luck!
Have amazing weekends y’all, see ya on Monday!
Smootches!

Like any other fashion crazed youth, I’m obsessed with Gossip Girl.  While the plot interests me to some degree, the styling is simply beyond.  Hence when I saw Serena sauntering the streets of NYC in this gorgeous Alexander Wang dress, my heart skipped a beat.

Jewel tones are great for transitioning from one season to the next, and the asymmetric silhouette is all the rage right now.  It rings in at $592, and you can get it here.  It may not be available online, but if you’re interested, call the store.

This minaudiere is definitely for the girl with lots of spunk who isn’t afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve.  All she has to do is take out the long chain strap and sling it on her shoulder.

The rich satin color also gives it somewhat of a romantic appeal.  If you like all things whimsical, get it here.  And the great part about it is it’s only $50.  Tres bien, no?

With boots of all styles being such a trend this season, it would be soon before long when different designers would start seeking “inspiration” from each other.  Givenchy starts the race with its Lace-up Textured Leather boots while Topshop’s AVA Shiny Lace Up Hiker Boot comes in a close second.

Although it’s almost identical to Givenchy’s (with the exception of its textured sole and buckle near the peep-toe) Topshop’s version is obviously cheaper at $190.  Though the Givenchy’s ring in at $995, there’s somethng that I appreciate more about them.  It may be the hidden platform that makes it look more chic and less “guerilla warfare.”

Which one’s your fave?

Hey Y’all!

It’s been quite a while since we’ve had a Style File!

We’ve highlighted everyone from Kelis to Kerry Washington, but it seems there are always rising style stars waiting in the wings. Today, we’ll take a look at….

…Paula Patton!

The fabulous actress, wife to Robin Thicke, and stunning beauty has been increasing her red carpet sizzle with an onslaught of lovely dresses and separates in flattering fits.

For the evening Paula pulls out all the stops, flaunting her frame in cherry red gowns and cocktails in sequined ivory…

….always set off by metallic clutches, waist cinching belts, and the occasional statement necklace. While she tends to stick to a solid color palette, she does love her patterns, and rocks everything from snake skin to florals with flavor and pinache:

While Ms. Patton may have a thing for prints, nothing can top her affinity for ruffles! You’ll see her in dresses in black and white, covered in frothy flourishes that highlight her indisputable femininity:

And for casual commitments, she goes for girly opting for short skirts and ruffle tops, accented with boyfriend blazers and black sandals:

Super cute!

If you want a Paula Patton essence, go for these fun frocks and heels:
