Nothing says ‘classic style’ more than a Chanel Quilted 2.55 Handbag:
The $1500 bag is steeped in a storied history. The bag was introduced by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in February 1955 (which explains the number 2.55), and contains design elements that reflect Coco’s upbringing in an orphanage. The double chains represent the key chains of orphanage caretakers; the diamond quilting corresponds to the orphanage windows; and the red color inside matches that of the guard’s uniforms. Now you can wear the bag with just about anything–it’s undeniably chic!
Today, we have another Florida Bombshell, who calls herself “Goldie”:
She says, “I’m a PR student in Florida! After graduation I would love to pursue a career in Fashion Publicity ( I was inspired by your Breaking into Fashion posts), and follow in the footsteps of Bonnie Morrison. I love vintage clothes and have plans to open an online boutique.“
Such a great, quirky style, love!
Goldie has a blog as well, called Gold Labeler. Check it out at www.goldlabeler.com.
In the meantime, what do you think of her style?

The Fashion Bomb met Ne-Yo yesterday, and has met quite a few celebs in the past three years. The first person to tweet us the name of the first celeb we ever met will win!
If you’ve ever longed for the looks of your fave celebs, I’m here to show you how to get it–step by step. Let’s go!
Gabrielle Union:
Eyes: Use Pur Minerals Shadow in Chocolate Topaz on lids and highlight brow bone with MAC Eyeshadow in Phloof. Fill in sparse brows with Pur Minerals Mineral Brow Perfection.
Lips: Lips stay very bare so try a clear or light pink gloss like Josie Maran Plumping Lip Gloss in Daring. And it tastes yummy!
Cheeks: Sweep a blush on cheeks like Benefit Cosmetics Thrrrob and highlight cheekbones and temples with a highlighter like Benefit Cosmetics High Beam.
Christina Milian:
Eyes: Sweep Avon’s Perfect Wear Extra Lasting Shadow in Bronze over lids and highlight the brow bone with Lancome’s Eye Shadow in Positive. Line the upper lid with MAC’s Liquid Eyeliner in black and use a black pencil for the lower lid to really make eyes pop. Finish up with DiorShow Iconic Mascara in Black.
Lips: Line lips with a nude or clear lip liner like L’Oreal Automatic Lip Liner to keep color from bleeding out. Fill in lips with Nars Lipstick in Funny Face.
Cheeks: Use a rosy shade of blush like Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired by Carmindy in Cherub. Seal in the look with a bronzer like Smashbox O-Bronze Intuitive Cheek Bronzer.
Nails: For the pretty in pink nails, give yourself an at home mani with China Glaze Nail Polish in Shocking Pink.
Solange:
Eyes: Use earth tone shadows on the lid, crease and under the brow using medium, dark and light shades respectively. Try LORAC Starry-Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio. Line the upper lid with a brown pencil to create a soft line like Neutrogena’s Nourishing Eye Liner in Brown Sugar. Brush brows and fill in as needed with Pur Minerals Universal Pencil in Natural to frame the face. Finish your eyes with a layer or two of Mascara in Dark Brown or Soft Black to upper and lower lashes.
Cheeks: Try using a soft blush like Bobbi Brown Blush in Tawny to create a natural glow.
Lips: To get Solange’s lips use a sheer pink lipstick. Try Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Volupte Sheer Sensual Gloss Stick SPF 9 in Chilled Raspberry.
Rihanna was in a celebratory mood last night in NYC, smootching and licking movers and shakers at hot club spot Pink Elephant:
While her leopard print top and gold chain look quite chic, my attention was immediately drawn to her long, pointy, red fingernails:
I personally go for a shorter square nail–it makes it easier to type! When my nails get too long, they become difficult to maintain (not to mention their clawlike appearance!).
What about you? How long do you go?
PS This is so random, but any Family Guy fans will find this hilarious:
Cassie hit up the Sobe Lifewater event this past Friday in a torn “RIP YSL” shirt by Blood is the New Black, red sunglasses, and a pair of $1,100 Giuseppe Zanotti Open Toe Wedge Sandals:
Splurge on the shoes, and save on a few low priced look-a-likes to complete the outfit:
Snaps to Necole for the heads up on this hot look!
So Fashion Bomb readers hail from all corners of the globe, and encompass many different shades and backgrounds!
Today we have Dianna, a British born Bombshell who currently resides in Florida:
She says, “I want to become a model, but I have no idea where to start!!“
“…Do you think I have what it takes?”
Of course! Your beauty shot is on point!
What do you guys think?
