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?
Pick up the May issue of Latina Magazine for a fresh, cute cover featuring Star Trek star Zoe Saldana:

The fashionable were all over the map this weekend: besides the usual L.A./New York circuit, Atlanta, Miami Beach, and Washington D.C. also hosted their fair share of celebs. So who rocked what (and rocked it best)?
Keyshia Cole sang the national anthem at the Hawks vs. Cavs game in the ATL and featured some stars and stripes of her own, sporting a rhinestone Chanel pendant necklace with a flouncy black and white striped minidress. A cornflower blue boyfriend blazer and chic strappy platforms in taupe topped the tres Hot ensemble off.
At the Noche de Ninos gala in Beverly Hills, Jennifer Lopez chose to go with teal jersey for the red carpet. Her mermaid cut dress with blouson sleeves and loose boatneck collar is fine on its own but seems slightly ill-fitting on La Lopez’s bodacious bod. Same with her shoes and hair: I love a messy up-do and bold black sandals but somehow both of these together seem to weigh down the outfit, Hmm…
Back east at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in D.C., Alicia Keys opted for a sleeveless cocktail dress in eggshell with black accents anchored by silver and black T-strap sandals. The banded bodice and snowflake prints give the dress a sexy-girlish feel but…it’s far from the best I’ve seen her look. Her curtain of straight hair and bland makeup dress the outfit down somewhat, too. It’s not an out-and-out Hmm–maybe more of a lukewarm Hot?
Kerry Washington also made the scene at the Correspondents’ Dinner in what at first glance might appear to be a matronly number. But I think this ruffle-tiered, midnight blue, strapless frock really works on her for reasons je ne sais quoi. Perhaps its the dramatic color, or the pops of gold in her accessories that keep the outfit from becoming too somber. Or maybe I’m just glad she looks a bit more appropriately dressed than A. Keys. Kerry’s style is often quite feminine with an undercurrent of traditional, and I think this reflects that well. A very mature Hot…
Over in NYC at stylist-turned-music-artist O’Neal McKnight’s mixtape release party, John Legend added some flair by mixing plaid patterns, pairing a grey and white dress shirt with a green and blue tie. He balances the outfit nicely with tailored black trousers and polished wingtips. Plaid seems to have been the evening’s theme, as O’Neal himself goes for a black and white plaid jacket, artfully beat-up jeans, and black and grey kicks (and don’t miss the silk bow-tie and polka dot pocket square). Quite Hawt looks for both gents!
Finally, back down south in Miami Beach, America’s Next Top Model winner Eva Marcille co-hosted a music showcase in this abbreviated denim jumpsuit with a strapless sweetheart neckline. Doorknocker earrings, loose curly hair, and nude platforms with black ankle straps finish off the sassy evening look. While I’m loving the shoes and Eva’s lovely curls, the jumper is just a bit too juvenile for me, Hmm…
What say you, Fashion Bombers?

The Vogue Italia crew is proving that the all black issue wasn’t just a fluke, featuring Arlenis Sosa and Jourdan Dunn in two stunning editorials for May:
Arlenis’ editorial, entitled Glitter, was photographed by Michelangelo di Battista:
Jourdan’s was shot by Craig McDean:
These ladies look absolutely lovely–It’s refreshing to see Jourdan looking very ‘high fashion’ versus her typical sunny editorial shots.
What do you think?
Today Sian Pierre of Swagger brings us Maryama, a beauty of French and Coriscan descent he met by an art gallery opening at place de la Republique:
Her dad used to work for Jean Paul Gautier, so she’s always loved fashion and is beginning work on her own line of luxury headpieces (think peacock feathered headbands..). Her shoes are Berlutti and her bag is her mom’s vintage Chanel.
Chic!
What do you think? Does she have Swagger?

Way before nude pictures and shaved heads, there was a girl named Cassie who sang a hot song called Me & U:
Reflect on the days when things were still new, young, and somewhat innocent.
I still *love* this song, razors, nips, or not!
Enjoy!
Fashion Bomb regular Beyonce Knowles was recently spotted in Berlin’s Tegel Airport rocking some super comfy airport gear:
I love her look (she’s got on heels!), but you know we’ve all seen people in the airport rocking pajamas and house shoes!
My Dad’s a pilot, so we’ve always had to dress up. Even for domestic flights, close toed shoes, a skirt or nice slacks, and a blouse were the rule. I can’t even remember the last time I’ve worn jeans to fly!
But what about you? How comfy is fashionably permissible in the airport?
