Nicole Richie kept it fashionable yet comfortable in a pair of $425 Modern Vintage Buckle Flat Boots:
She wore the versatile pair with tights, a comfy black sweater dress, lace fingerless gloves, and a cross body quilted bag:
Splurge on the boots, save on the rest:
Hey Guys!
So last week, as you know, The Fashion Bomb was having technical issues that didn’t allow for regular Mail Bombs. This time around I put my foot in it and solved as many MB’s as I could. Let’s go!
First up, Ololade says, “I recently came across this old Rihanna picture and thought this look would be absolutely perfect for a party I’m attending.”
“…Â I already have the J Brand Thrashers, but I need help finding this top and/or more recession-friendly options.”
We got you! Get Rihanna’s Corset look with these affordable picks:
Alicia says, “I love the dress that Raven Symoné wore recently.”
“… Do you know where she got it from/who it is by?”
Yup! Raven is wearing the uber popular Jackie O Dress by Black Halo:
The dress is a favorite of Tyra Banks, and you can get it in various colors for $207 on sale or $345 full price. It’s quite a splurge, but it’s definitely something you can wear to a job interview, cocktail party, or date! And between you and me, I have a friend who buys all her Black Halo on Ebay for a steal. Try it out!
Penne says, “I’m in need of some very cute sweatpants. The pair Amber has on would be perfect.”
“…Do you have any idea where I can get them or some similar??”
We can do you one better and find her whole look for you!
Now for some Wardrobe Queries!
Virgelia says, ” I woke up one morning and I was craving something. Not pop-tarts, not pancakes, or Cap’n Crunch. I was craving black high-waist skinny jeans. I went to the mall and to a few online stores and found nothing. Please point me in the right direction plz!!!!! I’d so appreciate it. I need these skinnies in my life!!!!!!!!!“
Wow a craving that tops Cap’n Crunch is serious! We found these fun options for you at several price points:
Cherise says, “I’m on the planning committee for a fundraiser that’s happening in 2 weeks and I need your help! I recently purchased this vintage Victor Costa highwaisted skirt with beautiful ‘lace like’ detailing and I have no idea what top to wear with it.”
“…I need your expertise. Shoe and accessory suggestions would also be appreciated.”
Sure thing! Since you’re on the planning committee, I would opt for a neutral ivory top in a fabulous fabric like satin or silk. Show off your personality with fun shoes and a colorful clutch:
And lastly Jasmin says, “I’m looking for some hot pink pumps I can wear with my new black sequin tee dress. Budget friendly please =).”
Of course! Look hot in these options:
I’m off to run a million errands. I’ll be back in the afternoon with more fashion news, celeb style, and bombshell goodness!
Smootches!
I’m sure that you, like all of us, kept up with the fashion that Rihanna brought during the fall/winter fashion week season. The talk of the town was this Gareth Pugh striped sheer number from his Spring/Summer 2010 collection. This obviously wouldn’t go unnoticed and “uncopied.” Enter Topshop’s Knitted Stripe Dress.
Almost identical to Pugh’s dress, the only difference is the missing turtleneck…and of course the cost. Topshop’s version is definitely a steal at $80, compared to Pugh’s which could easily be in the thousands.
Which would you rock if you wanted to vamp it up for the holidays? Get Topshop’s version here.

The collection hits H&M stores November 14th. Will you be buying a pair?
Sure, Keri Hilson wore Dolce & Gabbana to the 2009 Soul Train Awards, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend thousands to get a similar look! Enter Forever 21’s $20 Cire Slip Dress:
The racy slip dress features slightly padded bra cups, 1″ straps and a zip up back. Rock the dress with a lacy bra for an even more pronounced Keri H aura:

British songstress Leona Lewis vamped it up on the Red Carpet of MTV’s EMA’s in a custom Vivienne Westwood gown made of layers of tulle and PVC:
She accented the frothy yet rocker creation with cat eye makeup and a soft pink lip.
Leona is gorgeous, but the dress is a tough one.
What do you think, hot or hmmm?

Halle Berry is a huge fan of Coach Bags, and was recently spotted rocking the brand’s Kristin Leather Tote in Black. The hot bag features rich glazed leather, fashionably-perfect chain link straps, and a sophisticated snap closure:

Tons of stars made it out for the Soul Train Awards in Atlanta, wearing their chicest red carpet outfits:
So many HOT looks, it’s so hard to choose just one! Loving Fantasia in her Louis Vuitton shoes, Keri in her black silk corset dress, and Taraji‘s pretty purple cocktail. While the Real Housewives of ATL have me ‘hmm’-ing with the sheer amounts of hair and makeup, hats off to Kandi, who put on a happy face and looked FABULOUS and sophisticated even with her recent heartache.
Who’s your fave this week?
