Welcome to another week featuring urban fashionistas with great style!
Today we have Kay from Stamford Connecticut (on the right), who is a full time administrator and part time stylist:
She says, “I noticed that you don’t feature a lot of thick chicks as Bombshell of the day. I thought I might be one of the first to show the world how the plus size chicks rock!“
Snaps to Kay for sending in her pic! What do you think of her style?
Smootches!
Fashion Bombshell of the Day is a feature that showcases the singular style and flair of Fashion Bomb Readers. Submissions will eventually compete in our 2nd most Fashionable Fashion Bomber Contest! Send your Fashion Bombshell of the Day Picture to thefashionbomb@gmail.com.
The Fashion Bomb has been featured on a flurry of hot fashion, style, and home blogs. Check out our features, show love to our fellow bloggers, and leave great comments!
*My new favorite decoration and lifestyle blog, Get Togetha, asked for a few of our favorite home decor tips:
Franca Sozzani, Editor-in-Chief of Italian Vogue explains, “Barbie has been an icon for whole generations which is why I really wanted to give a strong sign in step with the times, and dedicate [this] issue to Black Barbie.” The special issue includes artistic photography and fashion, in addition to adorable Barbie Dolls.
Also, this year Barbie will be releasing dolls with more afrocentric features. I’m all for it!
If I can score a copy of the issue, I’ll scan a few more pix for ya!
Rihanna seems to have taken the route of Cassie and Lala, shaving her already short cut even more:
She debuted her new shaved sides recently on an outing in NYC’s West Village.
I was personally over this style when Lala did it, so Rihanna’s new venture doesn’t really move me.
What about you?
Hot or Hmm…? Source
Gabrielle was feeling Keri Hilson’s colorful ‘out on the town’ look:
She says, “Where can I find Keri’s pants? Or something like them…. they are so cute!”
Get a similar look with these 100% Yellow Silk Pants by New York Industrie:
Stacey says, “I wanted to know if you could find out what kind of brown bag Eva Marcille was rocking with the fringe?“
“Its mad cute! I know it’s not in my budget but if you could also help me find a similar piece it would be great! Thanx!“
We couldn’t find her exact bag, but you can achieve a similar fringed look with these selections:
Lastly, Ka’Lan says, “Can you help me find a pair of patent leather black open toed flats? I’ve seen a few other women wearing these shoes, and I can’t find them anywhere! I really hope you can find me a pair, I’ve been looking for them forever.“
Sure thing! Here you go:
That does it for today! Stay tuned for more shopping steals and Fashion Bombshell of the Week!
With big name celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, and Tyra wearing RM by Roland Mouret’s square neck dress, it wouldn’t be long before its splitting image came knocking:
British brand ASOS took the honors with their Seamed Pencil Dress. The pleating around the neck and bust are almost spot on.
The only differences lie in the detail around the waist and the length, with Asos’ being shorter. And despite Asos’ being hundreds of dollars less, at $65, the construction is pretty good, and you’ll get a lot of bang for your buck.
