Modeling veteran Iman and newcomer Ubah Hassan discuss black models on the runway:
Iman thinks there has been a great improvement thanks to Bethann Hardison. Ubah didn’t realize there was an issue with black models, but says, “We look good in anything!“
That we do!
What do you think of the video?
Hey Bombshells,
Adriana here with a Beauty heads-up! I was in Sephora browsing for some lip gloss yesterday when I came across one of the latest trends to hit the scene, solid perfume.
As Fashionista reports, the advantages to solid fragrances are numerable: more affordable, much more discreet if you have to apply it in public, and they last longer since most of the solids are oil and wax based. And one more perk? Not only do they fit into your purse with a lot less fuss than a bottle of perfume, but some (like Gaultier and Marc Jacobs) also come as fabulously functional jewelry pieces so that you get not only your favorite scent, but also a designer accessory!
Check out these solid scents online or the next time you’re out beauty browsing. I’m going to try and get a whiff of the Tocca “Florence” solid to see if it smells as good their candle by the same name (my favorite one)…

So cute!

Can I just say that I think the people over at J.Crew are marketing geniuses?? In college, I remember J.Crew was only known for basic wool sweaters. Now they’re so hot! Love them.
Over at the Blackbook Magazine party this week, rising hip-hop artist, Kid Cudi was there to perform. I must say I’m diggin’ his look.
The layering of the leather jacket with the red henley and gray tee balances perfectly with the classic khakis and Converse sneakers. This look is hot!
What do you guys think?
PS: If you’ve never heard of Kid Cudi, here’s the vid of his club hit “Day ‘N” Night” (Crookers Remix)

So I’m in Rome!
And it’s absolutely gorgeous. I’ve traveled to lots of places and obviously have a thing for Paris, but Rome takes the cake! The Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum, you must must come at least once in your life! I’m going to sight see in a bit, but first a few Mail Bombs! Let’s go.
First Chiriga says, “I stumbled upon this photo of Rihanna and fell in love with her leather jacket!“
“…I need a bright leather number for the spring. Please help!“
Rihanna is rocking Robert Rodriguez, but you can capture her swagger with these options:
Next Marchelle says, “I was wondering if you can tell me who Beyonce’s sunglasses are by in this pic. “
“Are they some new oversized Rayban’s? I’m stumped.”
Adriana says, “I’m pretty sure Beyonce is wearing these Grey Ant ‘Status’ Wayfarers:”
“They retail for $260 at Oak NYC.”
Vicky says, “I’m dying to know what Christina Milian is wearing in this picture!”
“It’s so chic!”
Madame Milian is wearing this Louis Vuitton Dress:
From its Spring/Summer 2009 Collection. Go to www.louisvuitton.com for retail locations.
Lastly, in a wardrobe query, Audrey says, “My friend is getting married and she loves the Manolo Blahnik Something Blue satin shoe with the brooch but it’s $945.“
“…I’ve tried to find something else suitable and similar but no such luck. She says that something blue or silver would be fine, but not in a winter-y material like suede as the wedding is in July. I’d be forever grateful if you would please help us get her a pair of wedding shoes that she loves.“
Adriana says, “Here are some eye-catching blue shoes that won’t break the bank!”
I’m off to enjoy Roma!
Arrivederci!
*Stay tuned for a Claire’s Life: Rome next week!
