Since studs seem to be hanging around for a while, why not splurge on something both practical and trendy? This clutch bag is perfect in terms of versatility given its removable shoulder strap.
Go shopping during the day with it slung across your shoulder, or take off the strap to edge out a night time ensemble. And it doesn’t hurt that it’s only $70. Like it? Get it here.

Photographer Roger Dekker shot a softer side of supermodel Naomi Campbell for the latest issue of Pop Magazine. The black and white spread was styled by Tamara Rothstein, and captures a contemplative, fresh faced model at rest:
It’s amazing that Naomi can still look so elegant with little to no makeup.
What do you think of this spread?
Hey!
Today we’re bringing it back to the States with Shenneth who lives in Washington D.C.!
She says, “ I’m just a petite girl who likes to dress up! Now that I’m in my mid-twenties, I’m starting to refine my personal style. I don’t try all the trends because honestly they’re not all flattering to short ladies like myself.”
“…I have a penchant for dresses, skirts and love shopping in vintage and thrift stores–older clothes tend to be cut smaller! My other petite girl trick is to buy jackets and blazers from the boys section of stores.”
Shenneth, the vintage look totally works for you, plus I’m *loving* your skirts and fun accessories!

Hey!
So believe it or not lovelies, summer is over:( Pretty soon we’ll be trading in our sundresses and sunnies for blazers and boots. To make the transition easy for you, we’ve compiled the 5 hottest fall trends you’ll need to be fashionable this season.
1. Peplum Dresses
This skirted look mixes flirt with femininity, flattering most shapes in strapless or asymmetric styles. Rock a peplum piece in blue like Rihanna or Estelle, or go for a more subdued look a la Nia Long in black:
2. Extended Shoulders
Whether it’s the 80’s effect or Balmain, shoulder pads have made a resurgence in a real way both on runways and real women. The power shoulder dominates this season, so update your blazers and dresses with these cute options:
3. Platform Heels
This season we’re adding even more height to your traditional shoes in platform styles that sculpt the legs while making you look long and lean:
4. Layered Necklaces
This falls calls for chunky neck pieces, brimming over with pearls, balls, and chains. Keep it funky like Adrienne Bailon, or go for more of a classic style like Sanaa:
5. Thigh High Boots
Thigh High boots guarantee adequate protection against a fall chill, and are an unquestionably hot look. For this transitional time, wear your pair with a chic mini dress like Melody Thornton or Kim Kardashian, then move on to jeans and a cute top like Golden Brooks for cooler temps:
What trend are you looking forward to the most?
Hey!
Today, for our favorite feature, we have Fatimah from Toronto, Canada!
She says, “I love fashion and style. As a soon-to-be 1st year PhD student I have shopped on a budget since undergrad. I like to save on clothes by shopping sales, sample sales, Winners (Toronto people feel me!) and vintage shops, but I will always splurge on a good piece of jewelry. I also love picking up cool, one of a kind pieces on my travels- some of the wickedest stuff I have is from Barbados, Jamaica, and New York.”
“As you can see from some of my pictures I’m a Muslim, born and raised, and I LOVE wearing the traditional, modest, clothing and headscarf (hijab) for special occasions but in my own distinct way. So please consider me for Fashion Bombshell of the day, and let me rep it for the Muslim chicks and all the Toronto readers!”
Represent! Smart and sassy to boot! We love your distinct point of view and ability to rock a traditional garment with style.
What do you guys think of Fatimah’s look?

Hey Guys!
As you know I’m always on the lookout for cool, chic items, and was literally floored when I stumbled across Litarbags:
The nature and sea inspired hangbags have a unique, vibrant look that set them apart from most totes and clutches.
The lovely leather creations are made in Lviv, Ukraine, where the designers say, “We struggle to make every item an artwork, an image-carrier, always with something unexpected, intriguing, and unreal. A handbag-image, a handbag-fantasy – this is our goal.”
As with many fashion fantasies, these babies aren’t cheap, and range in price from $250-$400.
Still it might be a worthy investment if you want a one of a kind look and yearn to carry a functional piece of art.
Would you splurge on a Litarbag?
If so, purchase at their Etsy shop here.
