A handful of Fashion Bomb worthy celebs crept out last night for Maxim’s Annual Hot 100 Celebration. Some were looking hot and others, hmm…

Ciara took a risk, rocking clean cornrows with a strapless blue satin dress with a black belt and pumps. Though some may say cornrows should stay off the carpet, I applaud her courageous fashion spirit…hot!

Actress Dania Ramirez also went for strapless in a metallic number topped off with hot blue embellished pumps. Might we have a new style star on our hands? Hot!

Elise Neal kept the blue theme going in a turquoise spandex number. Toned shoulders and a subdued gold sandal makes this look hot!

Beauty Gabrielle Union chose a predictable Herve Leger dress and simple jewels for the fete. I’m totally over Herve Leger Gabby! Hmm…

Kim Kardashian looked simple in an off white thigh grazer brought to life by black accessories. Kim could make a sack look sexy, but what really makes her look hot is her alluring eye makeup. I’m taking notes!

Lastly crooner Raphael Saadiq stunted in a quirky red creation with a light pink button down and patterned tie. Though he blends with the carpet, I admire his unique steez. Hot!
What do you guys think?

A favorite of stars like Ciara, Alexis Bittar Bracelets are eye catchingly chic and edgy. Tap your inner fashionista with this $395 Cubist Mirror Hinge Bracelet:

Made of resin and rhodium, the sharp angled accessory will make any outfit extraordinary.
Pair it with the following for a high/low look:

The perennial problem of hitting the town with a clutch: It’s cute and looks great, but is never large enough to fit all you need (including that pair of flip flops you need to rest your feet at the end of the night!). Enter Rampage’s $68 Jenny Flap Clutch:

It’s compact enough to look chic, yet large enough to stow all your necessities. A drop chain shoulder strap offers ease and versatility, and the price makes it a must!
Pair with the following for your next night out:

Reminisce back to the days when the Fugees were new on the scene and still together…

…and when Lauryn was still the flyest chick in the game!

Check out some vintage Lauryn Style in this archive Fashion Bomb post.

Enjoy!

Hey!
So warm weather is finally here, and it’s high time to pop on an effortlessly chic dress:

Flattering and comfy, dresses are an easy answer to “What should I wear??” plus they come in a myriad of hot colors, patterns, and fabrics.
Today The Fashion Bomb brings you 100 options under $150 to wear to work, on the weekend, and beyond!
First up:
1. Brights:

Nothing screams summer more than a sizzling hot bright pink, orange or blue dress. Wear it with contrasting bright accessories for added pop:

2.Florals:

Welcome warm weather in a bright floral print that will reflect the beauty of your surroundings. Make sure the size of the floral fits your stature. Petite chick? Go for a small floral. A bit curvy? Hit ’em with a bang:

3. Prints

Offer a quirky edge in a simple frock with an eye catching print. As with florals, the ‘size’ rule applies; add a belt to break up an overwhelming pattern:

4. Stripes

Hop on board the season’s nautical trend with these easy pieces. Note: Horizontal stripes can make you look wide, verticals are more forgiving (and flattering)!

5. Jersey:

Breathable and easy, a comfy jersey dress in soft cotton is the perfect pick for a weekend event:

6. Daytime Casuals:

Whether shopping with friends or hitting up your local outdoor café, daytime casual dresses offer a dynamic look. Wear with flats or pop on a heel for sauntering around town:

7. Work:

Flaunt your bold style in the boardroom with a demure cap sleeve creation or a sleeveless style worn with a cardigan:

8. Date:

Head out with your boo (or future boo) with these saucy dresses that will still leave a bit to the imagination:

9. Club:

Single lady? Make him want to put a ring on it when he spies you out in one of these bangers:

10. Wedding:

Shine without stealing the brides’ spotlight in a soft, conservative party frock:

Happy Shopping!

Many celebrities have been seen on the red carpet sacrificing fashion in the name of cushy, comfortable sneaks:

D Woods rocked Pastry Kicks with a strapless frothy Heatherette frock, and model Veronica Webb accented a gray dress and cream trench with bright blue baskets.

As a foot surgery survivor, I know all about the necessity of wearing practical shoes!

But I’ll never forget–four weeks after my surgery, I wouldn’t even wear sneakers with dresses (even under doctor’s orders)! I fought with all my might and settled on some sparkly skimmers.
What do you think?
Are sneakers ever ok with skirts and dresses?
