So I was checking out Keri Hilson’s tweets (www.twitter.com/MissKeriBaby), and it seems she has her TV flipped to Vh1 Soul. She says, “multi-taskin: doing some US phoners, eating, & watching VH1-soul on mute (lauryn hill’s X-factor- 1 of my all-time FAV songs & videos!)”
Ex Factor is one of my fave songs and videos as well!
Haven’t we all at one time been in an impossible relationship like the one Lauryn describes?
“No matter how I think we grow/ You always seem to let me know/ It ain’t workin’/ It ain’t workin’/ And when I try to walk away/ You’d hurt yourself to make me stay/ This is crazy/ This is crazy…”
The song is painfully beautiful–a classic.
Enjoy!
Hey!
What are the five things you can’t live without right now? It can be a fave pair of jeans, your oversized sunnies, or cell phone.
For me, it’s…
…Mac Lipglass in Oh Baby! (my lipgloss is always poppin’)…My Casio Baby G Shock Watch (You know what time it is!)…My Black Ipod (Bumpin Soulja Boy…what can I say, I’m Southern!)…Red Ray Ban Aviators (classic sunblockers with a kick of color) …and My Black Macbook (Which brings you this post today).
Sound off!
Leave a comment and let us know…what are your five must haves of the moment?
These Guiseppe Zanottie Crisscross Zip-Back Pumps are hot! They’re perfect for a daytime excursion with a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans or a night out with an extra flirty chichi tutu skirt. They’ll set you back $750, but if you got it, treat yourself to something special.
Find them here.
This song goes HARD on my iPod, and I’m surprised they still bump this one in the clubs. Takes me back to when DC came stronger than ever with their Survivor album. Peep Beyonce’s gold tooth and Michelle’s lip liner. Very funny yet feel-good vid. You know you’re gonna play this loud tonight before you hit the town.
Happy Friday Fashion Bombers!

Friday calls for lots and lots of Mail Bombs:
Let’s get it crackin!
First, several Bombshells were curious about the top Michelle Obama wore to a Poetry night a few days ago at the White House:
Beverly said, “Can you please tell me where I can get it?” and Nicki asked, “Who makes it??“
Adriana found that Lady O. is rocking a top from Basso & Brooke’s Spring 2009 RTW collection. Take a look at a dress from the line:
Thankfully Basso & Brooke have a website! Inquire about the top at www.bassoandbrooke.com.
Next Denise had a question about Rihanna’s outfit from the Third Annual OKMS gala:
She says, “Where can I get it?”
Rihanna is wearing a look from Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2009 line:
Her outfit down to her boots, necklace, and bag are all LV. Go to www.louisvuitton.com for stores.
In a Male Mail Bomb, Vanessa said, “I have upcoming nuptials and I have been in search of the perfect ties for the groomsmen. I recently saw Rick Ross’ new video for “All I Really Want Is You†ft. Dream and his silk tie is PERFECT.”
“… It has all of the colors my bridesmaids are wearing and I must have it!“
Adriana and I searched and searched and couldn’t find the exact tie (we’re guessing it was an exclusive). We, however, found a handful of colorful ties that might work for your big day:
Now for some wardrobe queries!
Jaida says, “My 21st birthday is next week (May 21st) and I have NO idea what I want to wear! I wanted to be springy and get a little dressy since I never dress up, but I really want to make it special. HELP ME PLEASE! P.S. I’m plus size (XXL, 2X, size 16)”
Happy early Birthday, Jaida! Celebrate in these party perfect options that come in sizes 16 and up:
Lastly, Pia says, “I am graduating on the 23rd and am at my wits end! I will be wearing this David Meister Colorblock strapless dress…”
“..But I can’t find a shoe to save my life and I’m pretty unsure what would look nice with it! Can you help me? I am a surely a fashionista on a budget but am willing to splurge!”
Cute dress! Since you have so many great colors to work with, your options are pretty much endless. Go with a cool metallic or pick up the camel, pink, or blue in the dress for a spring ready look:
That does it for today!
Have amazing weekends and check back in soon for a contest and and fun giveaways!
Bisous!
