The Americana comes in whole sizes only and will be released on September 15, retailing for $200. Visit www.ruvilla.com for more information.
Happy Tuesday!
Eileen here with a Boutique Spotlight on The GlamBar, a salon where you can sample a bit of Hollywood Glam down in the ATL!
The crystal chandelier adorned boutique with a hot pink decor offers some of the hottest beauticians in the A, indulgences like bottomless glasses of wine, and even a karaoke station!
Owned by Sabrina Peterson (pictured below), Glambar is perfect for a girl who has no problem with nonstop pampering:
Get a wash & Style for $40, a trim for $20, or pop in some color for $75. Pick up an inspirational book to read while you wait, then twirl around your new ‘do on the stripper pole (YES, there’s a stripper pole!). In addition to all its amazing services, The Glambar offers weekly pole classes for $15. Leave with a new cut or color AND some new moves. Owwww!
If you’re in Hotlanta definitely check them out at 244 Peters Street, Atlanta, GA. Stylist Willi hooked up my hair, so make sure you ask for him!
Call for an appointment at 404-521-0800 or visit their website at www.theglambar.com. Oh and mention The Fashion Bomb for 10% off a service.
~Go there and get gorgeous!

He turns 48 today and will only get better with age.

Bossip has a few pictures of Cassie on set at her new video:
Seems she has combed her alluring shaved coiffe into a pompadour, and added a pair of spectacles for a quirky, fashion forward steeze.
I think I like this! It seems she’s slowly but surely edging out her own distinct identity:
But what do you think? Is it hot! Or did it make you go hmmm….?
Today our Bombshell is both a fashionista and a designer!
Rebekah from Philly says, “Here’s a pic of me rocking one of my headbands after debuting them at a fashion show in Harlem!”
What do you think of Rebekah’s style? And would you rock her headwear?

Hey!
So Chris Rock recently produed a documentary called “Good Hair” after his daughter asked him innocently, “Daddy, Why don’t I have good hair?”:
The documentary explores the complex relationship women of color have with their locks–whether they’re rocking a weave, afro, or micro mini braids. It also interviews Hollywood starlets like Meagan Good, Nia Long, and Raven Symone to talk about the types of hair styles they choose, and why. Looks like it’ll be an interesting film!
I’m sure we all have our own hair histories! I recently shared mine with the website Black Girl Long Hair. Check it out here.

Hey!
So Swagger Paris is still snapping away in the streets, and brings us this picture of French fashionista Carrie:
She’s rocking a sick pair of Ray-Bans, an ASOS black romper, and a bow tie adorned necklace.
Like most Parisian women, she loves all black, but punched up her look with gold accessories, an edgy but simple hairstyle, and manicured purple nails.
I love! It’s very 80’s retro, non?
But what do you think? Does she have Swagger?
