For this edition of ‘Rip the Runway’ we’re featuring Bottega Veneta’s Impero Satin Clutch and Kate Spade’s Cozumel Eglantine:
It’s hard to tell who inspired whom, but the similarities are evident with both styles’ woven pattern and gold clasps. While Bottega Veneta’s Miniaudiere rocks it with satin, Kate Spade’s Cozumel Eglantine is made of woven rattan.
Both hot purses, but Kate Spade wins with a price tag of $244. Get yours here:

Cypher from NYC!
This young mommy won you over by a landslide, taking 53% of all your votes.
When she first submitted her picture, she didn’t mention her name, so I went by her e-mail, which included the word Cypher. Turns out this bombshells’ name is actually Stacey and she hails from Brooklyn….. Thanks for your submission!
Stay tuned this week for even more Fashion Bomb Reader Fabulousness!
Hey guys!
So my vacation is officially ON and I’m ready to catch up with my peeps! Mail Bombs will be short but sweet:)
First, Nikki says, “Rihanna’s shoes in this pic are the BUSINESS!”
“Can you please tell me who designed them?“
According to Natasha of the YBF, Rih Rih is rocking a pair of Azzedine Alaia $1,943 Python Bell sandals:
If you need Rihanna’s total look for less, check out my post about her on AOL Black Voices!
Next, Silvia says, “Have you seen Mary J. Blige in this new AT&T commercial?“
“She has a gorgeous grey shawl at the end which converts to a hood. Do you have any idea who the designer is, or if anyone else is making something similar?”
What a cute commercial! Not sure of who the exact designer is, but you can get Mary’s look with this $168 Juicy Couture Oversized Wrap Cardigan:
The ribbed shawl collar can be pulled up into a hood for a similar MJB steeze.
Leah says, “I’m feeling this jumper Fergie is wearing in this pic!”
“…The bold prints & colors make it pop and it’s different from a lot of jumpers I’ve seen. Who makes it?“
Fergie is rocking a romper by Fashion Bomb friend, Boxing Kitten:
Pieces range in price from $75-$275. Visit www.boxingkitten.com for more info (and read this vintage FB post about the brand here).
Now for a few wardrobe queries!
Leona says, “My BFF is getting married in September and all of us bridesmaids need to wear black dresses. I hadn’t found one I love… until I peeped Emma Watson’s Harry Potter London Premiere dress! “
“..Its a vintage Ozzie Clark dress that is bad to the bone… and way out of my price league!! Could you help me find a similar style in a basic black? The wedding pics will thank you!!”
Adriana found this option for your big day:
Ashley says, “Help! I bought these shorts for my Birthday party…”
“…Please help me assemble some party looks that work well with the shorts!”
Vuitton says, “I pieced together a look for you that will make those shorts pop–hope you like it!”
Lastly, Cindy says, “I am a 20 year old Nursing student (only one more year left aoowwwwwwwwww!). I consider myself a rather fashionable sort, but as a college student, I have to find ways to be fabulous on a budget. Most of the time I can work it out, but one particular item has managed to elude me : open toe booties. I looooove these kind of shoes, but I can’t seem to find any that are in my budget, ($50 bucks and below- – especially below!) Could you please use your sleuthing skills to help me out?“
Hey Cindy! We, too, had a bit of trouble finding cute open toes booties under $50! We found plenty of options under $100…if you’re willing to spend about $5-$30 more, you can get the look:
I’m off to max and relax. Have amazing weekends, we’ll see you on Monday.
Smootches!

When you visit Pierre Hardy’s website, you’re bound to find something to add to your wish list. I instantly fell in love with these multicolored strappy sandals with pops of blue, black, and white:
Prices are not advertised on the site, but I’m sure these babies would easily run a cool $500. Lovely to look at, no?
See more stunners at www.pierrehardy.com, or if you’re in Paris drop by the Hardy boutique at 9-11 place du Palais Bourbon.
Ciara rocked a strapless red Marchesa jumpsuit for an Express and Elle Magazine event the other night:
The onesie has an interesting bow front detail, with a deep v and tips that extend towards her defined shoulders:
It’s undoubtedly a new, fashion forward look for Ciara, but is it hot! Or Hmmmm….
I first heard Jamie Lidell at Central Park Summerstage, and I’ve been hooked ever since! I listen to this song almost every morning–it’s a great pick me up:
The video is inspired by Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean–he modernizes the lit up sidewalk with panache.
Enjoy!
My fave store, Pieces, has a new website with tons of cool offerings. I fancied these $67 Star Hoops:
