So submissions for Fashion Bombshell of the Day have been slow, but when we get pix in our inbox, they’re always hot!
Today we have friends Randi and Alison from New York:

How cute are they?
The girls are certified Fashion Bomb Devotees, and snapped this picture while out celebrating Randi’s birthday. Randi chose a deep v-neck brown dress, topped off with yellow, black, and pink sandals. Alison looks super fly in a pink embellished ruffle blouse, ripped jeans, and gold sandals set off by a neon pink pedicure.

So yesterday after my MAC shopping trip, I stumbled across these uber fashionable Parisian men:

Their colorful, updated b-boy look mixed 80’s bright colors with modern sunglasses, hats, and sneakers.

What do you think? Fellas, if you want a similar look for yourself, try these:

Rihanna hit the town recently in a cute wide collar leather jacket, ripped boyfriend jeans worn over fishnets, and leather booties.

She switched up her regular style by slicking back her blonde bangs.

Love her look?

Get it with these:

Since Diddy’s Dirty Money group looks so dern fly, I was more than excited to see this Official Music Video for their single Angels:

Hmm, I was expecting some singing…or at least to hear the new girl, Kaleena, blow.
Womp.
Ah well.
What do you guys think of the song?

Hey Bombshells!
Sticking to our international credo, today we wanted to introduce you to Thulie Ellis, a South African born, Sydney based designer. Thulie recently launched her first womenswear line called “Reflections on the Silver Screen.” The supremely pretty collection aptly mixes femininity and glamour. Take a look:

Thulie targets both the conservative and the bad a$$ by mixing soft ruffles for day, and light catching sequins for night.
Keep your eyes peeled for Thulie’s forthcoming website, www.thulie.com.au.
Until then, what do you think of the line?

If you’re in New York and are free tomorrow night, be sure to drop in to the Harlem Fashion Row Presentation Honoring Fashion Bomb friend and legendary designer Stephen Burrows.

Failed Lindsay Lohan Collabo’s aside, the house of Ungaro shows it’s still got that swagger with these aptly named Very Hot Strappy Pumps:

The $930 stunners would look great with anything from a pair of jeans to a short slate gray wool dress. Get yours plus a few outfit options here:

Can’t splurge on a Marc Jacobs frock? Get the next best thing with his intoxicating Lola Perfume:

The $65 fragrance smells of sensuous florals blooming with a signature note of fuchsia peony. Not only does it smell good–the bottle is a functional piece of art!

Hey Guys!

So I was itching to add a dash of vamp to my makeup arsenal, and nothing seemed more fun than a bright red lip. I’m usually a very classic girl when it comes to makeup–I keep my Oh Baby! and Explicit brown sparkly lipglosses on tap and don’t tend to diverge much from light champagnes or the occasional dark plum. I asked a few of my twitter peeps what bright reds typically work for brown skinned babes, and they recommended everything from Lancome’s Berry Noir to MAC’s Ruby Woo, Russian Red, or Spice It Up.

With so many options, I thought it best to drop by my local MAC store…

…to try out a few colors for myself. Of course I had to bring along my friends Rachel and Helene for honest second (and third) opinions.

When I walked in, I was a bit overwhelmed by the choices:

…so had my friend Helene go first!

Our wonderful makeup artist started her off with Russian Red:

…it was perfect! She didn’t need a pencil at all, and it worked well with her skin tone.

Feeling more sure of myself, I decided to put Ruby Woo on my friend Rachel:

Rachel isn’t much of a makeup girl, and rarely wears anything on her lips, so the color was a bit much for her:

She wasn’t in love.

She took back the wheel and tested the Russian Red that worked for Helene…

…and voila! The color looked great on her!

I was up next, but left the lipstick application to the professionals. Since Russian Red was working for my friends, I tried it first…

Honestly, not bad…but it didn’t quite set it off for me as it did for my friends! I wasn’t convinced, so my makeup artist applied a bit of Lady Danger:

Not bad! A little bright, but I think I can work it!

The budget fashionista that I am, of course I remembered MAC’s Back2Mac program, where you can bring in 6 empty containers in exchange for a free lipstick! I brought in all those old empty tubes of Oh Baby!, and traded them in for my new hot Lady Danger!

Rachel ended up passing on purchasing, but Helene was all about her Russian Red:

What’s your go-to bright lipstick?
