In a wardrobe query, Tia writes, “Hey Vuitton! I have an event coming up for school in December, and I was wondering if you can help me with finding a cocktail dress for under $100. Thanks!â€
Vuitton says, “Hey Tia! I put some dresses together for you. Since it’s getting close to winter, you wanna focus on jewel tones more than pastels. And there’s a selection of dresses with structure or flow. Check it out!â€
Is it just me, or has Forever 21 been stepping up their game lately? Needless to say, I’m pretty impressed with their collection right now and was pleasantly surprised when I came across this dress:
Asymmetrical shoulders have made such a huge comeback, so this dress is right on trend. I’m picturing it with fierce platforms, black opaque tights, and a red lip. And as hot as this dress is, it’s only $27. A major steal! Get it here!
While helping a friend of mine search for a dress, I came across this frock by Gabriella Rocha. Immediately, my mind went back to the Betsey Johnson Burnout Striped Organza number that Angela Simmons wore on the red carpet at last year’s MTV VMA’s.
The resemblance between the two is undeniable, despite the difference in texture and the slight variation in the bodice. Not to mention that Gabriella Rocha’s is a lot more inexpensive that Betsey Johnson’s; the former being $80, and the latter ringing in at $352. I have to admit that I’m not mad at Gabriella Rocha’s version, but the Betsey Johnson one does it for me.
Though I’ve seen a load of over-the-knee boots this season, I have to admit that this has to be one of the fiercest boots I’ve seen in quite a while. The unmistakable red sole and the bunched up leather give these Louboutin’s that distinctive tough chicness synonymous with the brand.
Hopefully, Santa pulls through this Christmas for you Bombshells that must have a pair. These babies will run you $2,185. Check em out here.
The day has finally come! Jimmy Choo will be unleashing its singular fabulousness on H&M shoppers tomorrow, November 14th:
Prepare to line up and fight for a chic pair of sandals with your fellow fashionistas.
Check out this vintage post to review all the wonderful shoes, jewelry, accessories, and clothes for men & women that will be available.
I’m kinda *over* throwing bows at these shenanigans, but my friend is super excited so I’ll most likely pop in. Will you?
According to the Daily News, Andre Leon Talley and Kimora Lee will be joining the illustrious panel of judges on America’s Next Top Model:
Though Kimora is a veteran (serving on the board for Season 1) ALT will bring his fresh Vogue certified views to the program for the first time.
I’ll be honest, I’ve gone from planning my whole workout/evening schedule around seeing an episode of ANTM to not watching it *at all.* Knowing that the ‘Top Model’ on the show will probably not be a ‘Top Model’ in real life kind of diluted the experience for me. I’ve gone from “Who’s gonna win?” to “Who cares?“
BUT the prospect of seeing the turbans, glitter, and glamour of an ALT+ KLS collabo might make me tune back in.
What about you?
Hey!
Today we have a little California love from bomb reader Eden who nominated her sister Mitu for Fashion Bombshell of the Day:
She says, “My sister has recently really stepped her fashion game up. I introduced her to your site a while ago and I see she has been taking notes!”
” Just wanted to let her know how gorgeous she is inside and that now her outside has finally caught up!“
” P.S It’s her 25th Birthday next week. Happy Birthday lil’ sister!” Happy Early Birthday Mitu!!
You are absolutely gorgeous and your style is on point!

Hey Bombshells!
New York correspondent Kisha hit up the launch of Ms. J’s new book “Follow the Model.”
Here’s her report!
Enjoy!
********************************************************************************* Have you ever met someone and felt instantly attracted to them? Someone whose energy was so warm and inviting you found yourself wanting to be their best friend?? Well J. Alexander, famously known as “Miss J” is not one of these people. We all know him as one of the judges on America’s Next Top Model, but he is also a runway coach and divo who has recently added author to his repertoire. He is bold, audacious, and brutally honest. He cuts you with a look your mother would give you if you were acting up in church. His words are curt and can seem harsh, but there is no malice behind them. In fact he really wants to help women. In his book “Follow The Model” Miss J shares his advice for living a confident, happy and fabulous life.
Miss J showed up to his book launch and signing in an unexpectedly casual ensemble. Though we’re used to seeing him with big hair, puffed sleeve jackets, and full makeup, his hair was pulled back into a chignon and he replaced his trademark ruffles and colors with a simple black suit. As audience members wondered if his over-the-top TV persona was just for show, he quickly dispelled our thoughts as he began to speak. As he gesticulated dramatically, lips popping and eyes rolling, he described memories of his childhood, saying, “I’m honest about who I am. This is just me. I don’t compete with anybody. I compete with myself.“
In “Follow the Model,” expect to read about how Jay fell in love with fashion and made it from the South Bronx to Paris, France. Also expect to read about how he met Tyra Banks, whom he first encountered at a Parisian fashion show. Did you know it was actually Tyra’s mom who asked him to appear on America’s Next Top Model?
Of course the Fashion Bomb had to ask him a few questions!
When we asked what he thought of Tyra putting models in “black face” he shrugged it off. He said,“It’s just fashion. I don’t see what the big deal is. Instead of painting white models in black face, we should put black makeup on black models. Let’s make them blacker!”
When asked what advice he has for women who want to be fabulous, he had a lot to say:
“Love Yourself”
“Don’t be afraid to experiment” “If you’re not in shape you should not wear satin, ice blue, canary yellow or bus stop red.”
“Feel comfortable with what you are wearing. Wear your size!”
“Everybody can’t wear everything!” “Fashion is forever Trends are not.”
And with that, I sashayed out with book in hand. There is sure to be some comedy in the book, but I have a feeling that “Follow The Model” will confirm what all Bombshells already know: Confidence never goes out of style and there’s nothing more fabulous than being true to who you are.
Follow The Model is available at Barnes & Noble or purchase here:

Great job Kisha!
I’ve met Ms. J before, and though he’s not exactly warm and cuddly, you do get the sense that he 100% knows what he’s talking about! The first time I met him I learned that he was fluent in several languages, including Japanese. He’s indisputably fierce!!
I’d be interested to buy his book!
Are you?
Smootches!

So Vintage Fab is slowly become a family affair where Bombshells are submitting pictures of multiple fly family members! Today Erica blesses us with pix of her grandmother:
Mother:
And Father:
She says, “They were so big on style then and still are today! My grandmother is of course the fashion maven of our family. My mom used to do fashion shows back in the day and my father said he was clearly the man back in the day…the plaid pants say it all!”
Soooo cute!
Keep ’em coming guys, I love it!
What do you think?
