Get into the Holiday spirit with this red and green splashed outfit inspired by Brit Tolula Adeyemi:
While you may not have much time to run out to the mall, you can surely get a Tolula essence by coordinating similar items already in your wardrobe. Pull out a loose fit black turtleneck, festively short red plaid skirt, and thigh high black boots. Paint on some green nail polish to add a dash of quirky yuletide charm:
Bonnes Fetes!

Naomi Sims by Andy Warhol for Interview Magazine December 1972.
Read about Naomi Sims in this timely New York Times Magazine piece here.
Cute couple Kanye West and Amber Rose stepped out last night in fetching all black to catch a movie. Amber went for rugged yet saucy in ripped leggings, a Dolman sleeve top, and platform lace up boots while Kanye countered in a stud jacket, black pants, and black Timberland boots.
What do you think of their casual ensembles?
If you love, get their look with these separates:
Mary J. Blige came out last night to promote her newest album, “Stronger With Each Tear,” at Best Buy in NYC. To combat against the winter snow, she pulled on a pair of black Ugg boots with black contrast leggings, a slick black turtleneck, and a shimmer scarf. Dark sunglasses and a cute haircut added a dash of edge to her simple look.
Though we declared Ugg’s over in February, Mary seems to make the notoriously comfy boots look Hot!
But what do you think?
Are they hot! Or do they make you go hmm….?
Hey Guys!
Need some tips on what to rock this winter? Look sophisticated and dapper in comfy shawl collar sweaters:

Hey Guys!
So while of course it’s fun to analyze the styles of ever fashionable Rihanna, Beyonce, and Zoe, sometimes we’ve gotta give props to the few lovely up and comers who have their own swag, but might not be splashed on the front of every blog and magazine.
This year, The Fashion Bomb has taken the liberty of naming our own Undercover Fashion Chic Queen of 2009:
Shingai Shoniwa.
The UK born lead singer and bassist for indie rock band the Noisettes has been blazing red carpets in London and beyond in a flurry of mind blowing ensembles. Let’s take a look:
The half Zimbabwean beauty makes a splash in high hemmed frocks and layered skirts, with silhouettes that highlight her small waist and long legs.
Boldly confident and daring, she embraces everything from ruffles to bright colors, and can even make fashion faux pas’ like exposed bras and glorified hot pants look haute.
A confirmed fashionista, Shingai works the snuff out of everything from Vivienne Westwood to John Pierre Braganza, all the while accenting her look-at-me outfits with neon nails and a flattering bouffant hairstyle.
And even rocked a variation of a David Koma dress Beyoncé wore earlier in the year, but added her own flourish with a bright red bolero and multicolored purse.
What do you think of this year’s undercover fashionista?
