Hey Guys!

So if you didn’t know, I’ve been blogging for AOL Black Voices’ Blog BV on Style for a couple months now:

I bring them exclusive looks for less on stars like Selita Ebanks, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Keyshia Cole!

Log on to www.bvonstyle.com every Friday to get a bit more Fashion Bomb fun!

Aside from being a fixture on the New York fashion scene, socialite Genevieve Jones also stays busy designing accessories and jewelry:

I love this summer perfect tassled clutch, but it doesn’t come cheap.  At $875 a pop, it’s quite the splurge, but you’re getting your money’s worth.  And it comes in a variety of luxe colors and textures.  Get one here!

Jeans are a staple for any season, but the summer welcomes new and fun cuts, washes, and silhouettes. Stay super chic in warmer temps with these celebrity certified denim trends:

First up, ripped jeans:

J Brand Thrasher jeans in a light wash are a clear bomb favorite, but you can make the look your own by going for a darker or lighter wash or cuffing them like Rihanna, Monica, or Beyonce:

Next, we have tie dye:

Tie Dye is more for the bold bombshell, and Ciara aptly tones the look down with a cute white tank. When rocking a pair, go for simple accessories so the denim stands out on its own:

Next up boyfriend jeans:

Whether casual with flats, or dressed up with heels, wear a pair of boyfriend jeans when you’re just kicking it with your baby or boo:

Last, but not least, cut off shorts:

Rock a cute cut off like Fefe Dobson to maintain the jean aesthetic while keeping your cool. Cut offs are the only style I’d recommend doing yourself. Take a pair of old tattered jeans and cut away–word of warning, mark where you’d like to cut so you don’t make daisy dukes. Not adventurous? Try these:

Bisous!

Rock this $76 Oak Grey Deep Cowl Tee with a pair of summer jeans for a sultry look:

Either go for more demure by showing a flash of your back, or amp up the sauce factor with a deep dip in the front:

Perfect for a summer barbecue!
Mix and match with these to complete the look:

So today’s Twitter Trivia question centered around our very first Style File subject Kelis…

…I thought it only fitting that today’s video should be by the songstress herself!

While Kelis might be better known for Bossy or Milkshake, Get Along with You is one of her first singles and I absolutely LOVE IT!
Enjoy!
And holla at Kelis on twitter at www.twitter.com/iamkelis!

Beauty correspondent Eileen hits us up with the following Beauty News:

All hail the Queen!

Our favorite actress, singer, and all around mogul Queen Latifah is launching her very own fragrance, aptly titled Queen. The sultry fragrance includes notes of bergamot, mandarin, jasmin, rose, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla, all bottled up in a super sexy square bottle with a raised heart.

It will be available at Macy’s and Dillards in August. I can’t wait to try this one out!
Until then, check out Latifah’s Queen Collection by Covergirl. It’s specifically for us women of color–makeup artists have confirmed that it truly is amazing! Shades range from Rich Sand to True Ebony so that everyone under the sun can mix and match to perfectly complement their skin tone:

Go forth and get gorgeous!
