Black Nail Polish has long tread the line between goth and chic, but seems to have made a recent resurgence amongst some of pop’s foremost faces:
If you’re going for a rocker edge, let your nails chip a little like Fefe Dobson’s. Go for super sophisticated with unchipped nails, long or short, like Solange and Raven.
If you’re willing to give this trend a shot, do so with these affordable polishes:
Hey!
Today we have TWO Bombshells hailing from the West Coast, Vanessa and Tearra!
Vanessa says, “I think my friend, Tearra, and I totally fit the mold for Fashion Bombshell of the Day. We work together on events and fashion all the time. Most recently, we did an event for Pinky Rose Boutique in Los Angeles, and it was fabulous! Check it out.“
“…We like to incorporate our own personal style into our wardrobe. Tearra is more edgy and uses a lot of Rihanna’s style as inspiration. I like to take a more feminine approach, and use some of Beyonce’s style as my focus.“
“…I hope you guys like our style! Thanks :)”
We sure do! And you guys might recognize Vanessa and Tearra from the Fashion Bomb’s LA Meet & Greet. They were AWESOME and coordinated a warm welcome and fashion show for us in the City of Angels. View our Vintage Post here, and tell us: What do you think of their style?
Smootches!

The kicks are just as versatile as a pair of Raf Simons Neoprene’s, and cost 90% less!

Although we stuck a fork in the Herve Leger trend back in 2008, it seems fashionistas are still running to Leger’s atelier for his skin skimming, positively flattering frocks. Dania Ramirez attended the premiere of the movie “2012” in a yellow number with blush inserts, while Letoya Luckett went for more traditional gray at the 2009 Soul Train Awards:
Both ladies love Leger, but who wore it better?

Hey Bombshells!
Today we’re rounding out our Fall / Winter Fashion Checklist with yummy colorful totes, statement necklaces, patterned tights, and wild card winter accessories!
Feel free to go crazy with these super fun adornments with a diversity of embellishments, hues, and shapes!
Totes:
Always have at least a black or brown bag on hand, then play around with burgundy, deep green, alluring orange, and mustard yellows:
Statement Necklaces:
We at the Fashion Bomb have shown our allegiance to the ubiquitous statement necklace, an accessory that can liven up even the most boring knit sweater or dress:
Patterned Tights:
Look-at-me tights are the hottest trend off the Fall 2009 runway. Take a cue from Solange who loves tights in black, purple, and pink dominated patterns:
Wild Card Accessories:
Save on leather gloves, waist cinching belts, drop down earrings, and more:
Did we forget anything in our roundup? Fellas stay tuned for even more tailored tips tomorrow!

Send in your fashionable vintage pics (circa early 90’s and older) to thefashionbomb@gmail.com, and we’ll post the most fab pic of the day!
