Crafted with leather and studs, it’s the perfect transitory item from summer to fall.  It’s a quite an investment at $850, but a worthwhile one.  You can cop one here.

Steal of the Day: Angie Mini Skirt

Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean you should skim on the leather, or faux leather for that matter.

Trend Report: Outerwear for Spring and Summer

Hey!

Vuitton here with a trend report!

Despite it being incredibly hot these days, you bombshells needn’t be discouraged from covering up a little when you feel an evening chill.  A cute jacket, sweater or vest can amp up the chic factor on a simple look. Check out these options for hot summer coverage:

1.  Boyfriend Blazer

57400633

Keep it summer cool in color, like Keyshia Cole, instead of going with ordinary black or grey:

2. Lightweight Cardigans:

A light knit is perfect for an afternoon shopping trip or for a day at the airport (if you’re a jetsetter like Beyonce).  A cardigan looks especially great when coupled with skinny jeans:

3. Strong Shouldered Jackets:

Bring a little drama like Kerry Washington with strong shoulders.  Don’t be afraid to go there– just keep the rest of your ensemble simple, but chic:

4. Sequined Jackets:

Alesha-Dixon-sequin-blazer

Sparkly stunners are no longer for the 70’s and Studio 54 nights–take a risk and shine! Alesha Dixon knows the score!

5. Vests:

Dawn-Richard-vest

A vest will keep you cool while offering a but of edge. If you think you can pull off a rocker look like one of our fave Bombshells, Dawn Richard, then go for it with the vests below:

Until next time…keep it fab!

Hey Bombshells!
So I’m in the Bahamas!
