Fashion Bombers, join me in wishing a very Happy Birthday to our BOMB feature writer Adriana Nova:
Adriana with Micah Jesse
This New York native has gone from intern to Fashion Bomb fixture in short shrift, and we’re so happy she’s on the team!!
Adri, have an absolutely fabulous, fashionable day!
You deserve it!
The much anticipated Gap CFDA Design Editions khakis collection which we wrote about here hits www.gap.com and select Gap stores today!
Also, for our NYC bombshells, swing by the 54th & 5th flagship store location at 10:30am for a chance to peep the clothes and meet designers Patrick Robinson, Alexander Wang, Albertus Swanepoel and Vena Cava’s Lisa Maycock and Sophie Buhai.
Run, don’t walk! And pick up some khakis for me!
Rihanna went for super exotic in a skin clinging long sleeved Christopher Kane Gorilla Dress with Miu Miu Cut out Platform Sandals:
The dress is unique, different…very Rihanna. Unfortunately the price is also very Rihanna at $1,114. Yowza.
Get something similar with these items:
Christopher Kane is a Scottish designer who began his fashion career at Central St Martins. He interned with designers Giles Deacon and Russell Sage before setting up his eponymous label upon graduation. He went on to win Young Designer Of The Year at the Scottish Fashion Awards in 2006 and is a favorite of Kylie Minogue and Kate Moss.
Vanessa Simmons was spotted filming scenes for season 2 of “Daddy’s Girls†in West Hollywood, CA:
If you like her scarf swag, get a similar essence with this $90 Matthew Williamson Ambroise Silk Printed option. It’s not a certified steal, but perhaps $90 is a small price to pay for a TV ready look.
Not convinced? Save on the rest of her outfit with these:
Our friends over at Stuff Fly People Like recently posted this picture:
Apparently our Style File subject Lala has jumped on the shaved side train, even taking the look a step further by adding a few clean lines into the mix.
Kelis brought the edge, Cassie softened the spark, and now Lala makes the look super trendy.
What do you think bombshells? Is the look edgy or are you over it?
Most importantly: would you rock it?
Hey Bombshells!
So Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday June 21st:
If you haven’t run to the mall to get your Dad a gift, try one of these 25 recession friendly options under $50:
Get your shine on in this Swarovski encrusted minaudiere by Sylvia Toledano:
The clutches’ stylized multicolored peacock feather glitters against a smoky topaz-hued pavé background, providing a dash of drama to any evening outfit. $1,400 buys you a purse fully covered in Austrian crystals; perhaps the glittering pen and detachable silvertone chain justify the price?
It comes in blue and pink at Vivre:
Hey!
In case some of you are missing NYC street style, we’ve collaborated with cool college site Street Spotted (www.street-spotted.com) to bring you a bit of USA flavor!
Today they give us a picture of Rachel and Victoria, two friends who are currently doing Parson’s intensive summer program in the city:
Rachel (left) mixes high and low, rocking an Urban Outfitters Jacket and Century 21 dress with Stuart Weitzman flats and a Marc Jacobs bag. Victoria on the right is the definition of recessionista chic in American Apparel and Urban Outfitters.
What do you think of their street style?
Smootches!

Finally got a chance to peep the video for this hot new single by Cassie:
I’m actually happy that Cassie is back on the scene.
Crossing my fingers she can knock it out the park with a live performance to secure her comeback!
Step out on a date night in this elegant pair of $89 Nina Elga Pumps:
The t-strap ruffle sandals are made out of 100% fabric, meaning lots of comfort while you dance the night away. Wear a cute nail color to add to its allure.
