Hey Guys!
Wanted to tell you about my newest obsession, Hudson Jeans:
I recently copped a pair of the brand’s Alex Skinny Jeans, and they’ve quickly become my new favorites! 98% cotton and 2% elastane, they’re comfy and fit over my curves! And the light distressing is fashionable and on point. I wear them with everything from heels to flats!
Get your pair plus a few other style below:

Hey Bombshells!
I’m back from a whirlwind Labor Day weekend! Bringing it with a bang is Bombshell Kailee from the City of Angels:
She says, “I am an aspiring wardrobe stylist based out of L.A. hoping to move to NYC as soon as December 2009 to further my career in fashion.”
“…I think my style is effortless chic. I don’t like a lot of fuss when it comes to my clothing, but I do love accessories. I love bold print, cinched waistlines,bangles and huge earring and handbags…anything!”
“…I am also a huge budget-ista–most of my looks total are under 75 dollars.”
“…I started a blog to track my journey into becoming a stylist so come pay me a visit! My blog is www.lolasimonestyling.blogspot.com, and yes I am for hire :)”
Fabulous! Can I say, you LA girls are seriously representing. Love your style Kailee, and your focused outlook. I think you’d be a great stylist!
What do you guys think?
Fashion Bombshell of the Day is a feature that showcases the singular style and flair of Fashion Bomb Readers. Send your name, location, and Fashion Bombshell of the Day Picture to thefashionbomb@gmail.com.
I saw this picture on Fashion Week Daily and had to post:
They say, “If you thought André Leon Talley’s Louis Vuitton tennis towel was a bit much in The September Issue, then your pretty jaws will hit the ground when you see this humble one-story home entirely covered in the Louis Vuitton logo. The branded abode is smack dab in the middle of Mexico, seemingly out of place next to the quiet, unassuming houses that line the dusty street.“
This house clearly takes ‘brand devotion’ to a whole ‘nother level. I’m sure we’ve all seen our share of folks rocking the logo to death:
But a house? Really? Read more here.
Happy Labor Day Bombshells!
Claire and the rest your favorite Fashion Bomb team are taking most of today off as we gear up for New York Fashion Week, which starts this Thursday, September 10! But we couldn’t leave y’all hanging without at least lil’ weekend “Hot! or Hmm…” action, though…
Budding style icon Amber Rose was spotted out shopping with her man Kanye in L.A. Rocking a short-sleeved coral sheath, strappy round-toe sandals, and stacked gold bangles, the ‘fit is actually pretty conservative compared to what Ms. Rose normally wears. It’s a cute look (love the sunglasses), though I’d have liked to see this with a different lip color and not what’s become her signature neon pink hue.
For all you hardcore Sex and the City fans out there, your favorite stylish gal-about-town, Carrie Bradshaw (née Sarah Jessica Parker) recently filmed a few scenes in NYC’s West Village, still very much in good fashion form. In one shot from the sequel to the blockbuster movie, Carrie was seen wearing a dress from Dior’s memorable “Newspaper” collection from a few seasons ago with a pair of black lace Louboutin booties. In another take, she sported faded, high-waisted jeans with a mini-plaid shirt and lilac platforms studded with gold. Some eagle-eyed fans noted that Carrie’s worn the John Galliano-designed Dior on the show before–maybe this is a flashback scene? I guess we’ll find out next spring!
Finally, R&B songbird Mya performed in Atlantic City over the weekend. Her charcoal brocade halter number, curly hair, and tassel earrings look great on her but the shoes just don’t belong with that outfit, Hmm…in fact, I don’t know if I’m feeling the shoes, period. Are y’all?
Enjoy your holidays!

New York Magazine reports that Jourdan Dunn will walk in fashion week this season:
Though the 19 year-old is five months pregnant, her comp card was included in her agency’s show package.
After news broke about her pregnancy, many questioned whether she would still stomp the runway. The answer’s yes! For now.
Update: NY Mag recently published an article retracting their initial statement, saying, “A representative from Women agency in New York confirmed the 19-year-old model will sit this season out. She will be missed.”
