His Tweet says, “I was with Kanye last night – AND his foxy bald girlfriend. Still together, celebrating her signing with Ford.
Hmm, shall we see Amber in a print campaign sometime soon? The Louis Vuitton ads were false…wonder what she has up her sleeve?

Accessories Report: Watches for the Season

Hey Fashion Bombers!

Do you know what time it is? Time to stop checking your cell or asking a stranger for the hour and rock out with a hot watch. Let’s look to some of our fave celebs for style cues:

We’ve all heard of the boyfriend blazer and now it’s high time to consider the boyfriend watch.  The timepiece has the right amount of bling without being garish. Here, Rihanna sports the look with a gold Piaget watch.  Note: An oversized face and gold are key:

Next, The Neon Watch:

Cassie rocks a hot neon watch ( if you can look beyond the “avant-garde” hairdo.  Are you over it yet?). If light blue’s not the color for you, look below for an array of options from ticking “timebombs” to the ones that satisfy the inner digital nerd. Even First Lady O jumped on board with this trend.

And last up, the Bling Piece:

Style File : Lala Vazquez

Happy Wednesday Bombshells!
Today we’re bringing it back to more traditional fare, with a Style File on one of Tinseltown’s budding fashionistas:

Lala Vasquez

….Lala Vasquez.

On the scene since TRL dominated MTV, Lala has carved a way into the celebrity stratosphere thanks to her boyfriend, Carmelo Anthony, and a constellation of connected friends. Her style game reflects her baller status. Let’s take a look!

When Lala hits the red carpet, she tends to bet on black, wearing thigh grazing cocktail dresses with interesting elements like patent leather belts, feather skirts, and bangin’ clutches:

However plain the palette, she always kills the shoe game, wearing peeps toes and shoe boots topped off with neon nail polish.

When she injects a bit of color, she sticks to grays and whites, keeping her look subdued yet sassy in chic jumpsuits, strapless numbers, and dresses with bubble hems:

Lala Vasquez The Fashion Bomb

She keeps the color going for casual commitments, adding leather, sequins, and stripes for a dash of spice:

And when kicking it courtside, it’s back to black, with skinny jeans, and a statement bag to complete the look:
