Today Fashion Bomb Reader Sammy hits up with a bit of Bostonian flavor:
She says, “I was born and raised in Haiti, but I now reside in Boston. My style and look is a melting pot of who I am–It’s my way of expressing myself.”
“…I love loud colors and patterns. I’ve always stood out due to my personality and style. Thanks!“
You better work it Sammy!
Loving your bold style and confidence.
What do you think of her look?

Log on to Honeymag.com for the buzz on Asymmetric Styles:
They say, “...This sale season, consider on-trend pieces you can wear now and still rock as you transition into fall. One of our favorite upcoming trends that’s totally wearable now is anything asymmetric. The look is executed best in a solid color as not to distract from all the geometric business going on.”

So I’ve begun to notice a handful of Bomb Celebs rocking big, look-at-me, bangs:
Expectant mother Kelis wore blond bangers in a magazine spread for Oyster Magazine, Sheree grew bangs to bless the second season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, and J. Lo rocked hers on set for her new movie.
The style can instantly change your essence, adding a dash of mystery to your look.
While I 100% cosign a little side sweep action like Christina Milian:
It’s the summer time, and of course we all like to showcase our cute toes in chic sandals!
At home pedicures are easy to do with the following goodies.
Follow these steps so your feet are at their best!
1. SOAK: Every great pedicure starts with a great relaxing soak with aroma therapeutic benefits. Try something with peppermint, lavender or rosemary to get skin and senses relaxed and revitalized. A great pick is the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Foot Soak in Tranquil Mint ($15 at www.bbw.com)
2. SCRUB: Tackle those rough spots with a pumice stone or foot scrub to get silky, smooth soles. Lippmann Collection Soul Mission Foot Scrub will deeply repair dry cracked feet and provide moisture at the same time. And it has yummy crystalized grapefruit that will also energize!
*If you need a little more than just a scrub, use Sally Hansen Just Feet Smoothing Pumice Stone in addition to the scrub for some heavy duty exfoliating. It also doubles as a foot massager!
3. TREAT: Cuticles need love too! Hook them up with Carol’s Daughter Lemon & Jojoba Cuticle Oil and push them back. (FYI…Mary J Blige and Jada Pinkett Smith are fans)!
4. MASSAGE: A pedicure isn’t a pedicure without a foot and leg massage.  To keep the minty freshness going, massage feet and legs with peppermint infused lotion like C.O. Bigelow Mentha Foot Cream. Skin feels refreshed and cool long after the pedicure is over. ($14 at www.bigelowchemists.com)
*Pssst…. If you’re headed on a date later that night try a sexy body cream instead like Benefit Touch Me Then Try to Leave Me Cream for use on ALL body parts. The end result is silky, smooth skin from the tootsies all the way up!
5. FINISH: Finish off the pedi with a great summer color from the Essie Summer Collection, which includes soft corals and nudes, with bursts of bright pinks and oranges. Pinks and oranges are the IT shades for the summer season!
BONUS: For extra pampering during a pedicure, try lighting a Banana Republic Beach House Candle for ultimate relaxation. ($24 at Banana Republic Stores)
Hey Beauties!
If you’re looking for the perfect all-in-one product for your at-home pedicure, you might want to try Barielle’s 60 Second Mani Pedi scrub. I recently got a sample to try and, overall, was mighty impressed!
Pros: It really does work in 60 seconds. My hands and feet were *positively silky* after I used it. After you rinse off the scrub, rub in the residual oil (which is not greasy at all) to moisturize your skin, then voila, you’re good to go. Also: fab citrus scent that’s not overpowering. Cons: The salt granules are not a game and can be quite rough, especially on sensitive skin. Try just a small dollop at first and work some more in if necessary. Also, at $25 it’s not exactly cheap (then again it will save you a few trips to the nail salon).
Cop one online or visit Barielle.com to find a store near you that sells the brand.
Let us know if you’ve tried it or will!
