Replacing last season’s Louis Vuitton’s Spicy Sandals are Christian Louboutin’s Maggie Pumps:
The $930 stunners have been seen on everyone from Tyra Banks to Vivica Fox and Ciara who’ve worn them in myriad ways.
Tyra Banks accented her beige shift with the shoes in tobacco and black, Vivica Fox wore the stunners in a lilac and navy combo to set off a dark sequined frock, and Ciara wore hers with a spiral shoulder jersey number.
All ladies look lovely, but who wore the Loubies best?
Seems like Topshop has a constant wandering eye when it comes to making dresses “their own.” When compared to Catherine Malandrino’s Draped Silk Jersey dress, the similarities are obvious, but are only limited to the silhouette and assymetry. Topshop went for a knitted version and nixed the ruching that Malandrino’s number has:
Topshop’s is quite a steal at $90, while Malandrino’s is $495. But the question still remains. Would you go with the price, or with quality?

Janet Jackson is back on the scene with a hot new video for her single “Make Me”:
The video has a very ‘fashion’ vibe, witnessed by the singer’s choice of designer Todd Lynn for her metallic shoulder pad jackets.
What do you think of the song (and style)?
I’m still not over electric blue shoes, but Steve Madden’s Tayla is an up to date twist on the classic Mary Jane pump speaks to me, especially in this purple suede:
Very fall/winter appropriate in both texture and hue, and such a steal at $72. Get caught looking chic this season and get them here.
With all the press Rihanna and Lady Gaga have been receiving regarding their McQueen choices as of late, wouldn’t it be more than fitting to include a splurgeworthy McQueen post? Enter his Skull Box clutch:
Great for an evening out on the town, and it’s sure to garner some attention. Covered in Swarovski crystals and featuring a skull enclosure, this baby’s gonna set you back $1,399. So if the “R” word isn’t affecting you, you can cop it here.

Hey Guys!
So last night was Beaujolais Nouveau night in Paris, which meant lots and lots of wine tastings all over the city! I stayed out a tad too late, but am back in fighting form to solve some Mail Bombs!
Let’s Go!
First up, Mikiko says, “Who makes Rihanna’s bag?”
“…I love the tassel!”
Rihanna accented her Mark Fast dress with a Louis Vuitton bag from their Spring 2010 collection:
Since the bag is literally fresh off the runway, Rihanna most likely got a special little hook up (hey, she’s Rih Rih!). The rest of us will have to wait for it to hit stores. Check out www.louisvuitton.com for locations.
In another Rihanna Mail Bomb, Santana-Marie from Michigan says, “I LOVE this Sweat shirt dress Rihanna is wearing:”
“…I know it’s by Marc Jacobs but it’s way too expensive for me! Can you please find me something similar… Thanks!”
Totally understand–Marc Jacobs dresses can run in the thousands! We found an option that is slightly more affordable at $184 and a few splurgeworthy accessories to complete the look:
Whitney says, “Cassie looks amazing in this outfit, but that jacket is the star!”
“…Do you know who it’s by and if there are any reasonably priced alternatives?”
It looks like Cassie might be wearing a Rick Owens leather creation:
Rick Owens is known for his fantastically fashionable jackets and blazers, but they are true investments. It’s hard to get the look for much less, but you can come close with these:
Lastly, in a wardrobe query Lauren says, “My boyfriend has these Supras:”
“…But he doesn’t wear them because he doesn’t have anything “olive and orange” to wear with them. I don’t want him to look matchy-matchy a la Lance Gross. Please help me find something else that goes with them! Not too pricey please!!!”
Hey Lauren! Guys and girls should know the score: If you have a statement shoe, keep your outfit simple so your shoes can stand out. For these I’d say he can get away with a simple white tee or cream sweater with a khaki jacket and jeans. If he wants to capture a bit of the color of his sneakers, his jacket or t-shirt, for example, can have a touch of color that corresponds to the shoes. With these, your guy can even jump on the camo jacket trend since the pattern will pick up on a bit of the shoe’s olive color. A few suggestions:
That does it for today!
Have fabulous weekends.
Smootches!
Stars came out in droves this week for birthday parties, club nights, and red carpet events:
Rihanna always kills it, and the guys are looking fly, but I have to give this week’s chic award to the ladies in the plum, specifically Tiny who is rocking that Alexander Wang Goddess Dress with nude heels!
Yes, she’s an unlikely style subject, but I think she looks cute!
Who’s your pick for this week’s chicest outfit?

Hey Bombshells!
Today we have another fabulous submission from Olakiitan from New Jersey, who wanted to nominate her sister Lola for Bombshell of the Day:
She says, “She had a little bit of style before but it definitely improved once she found The Fashion Bomb! She’s 23 and she’s currently in her 2nd year of medical school.”
“…She works very hard in school but still manages to take time out and enjoy life, and she does so in style! Her (funky & classy) short hair is always on point and knows how to make a fashion statement without overdoing it (i.e. She can wear a solid dress with a big statement chain to really make it stand out).”
“…We’re both Nigerian. Even when she rocks traditional Nigerian clothing, she adds a lot of flavor & style to it.”
Yes she does!
Wow, brains and beauty to match! Lola you have amazing style, and as Rick Owens said, your hair and shoes say it all!
What do you guys think of this Bombshell’s style?
