Splurge of the Day: Brian Atwood Heels

Since I teased you yesterday with the Kurt Geigers, I decided to make it up to you with hot shoes available in the US:

Brian Atwoods. Made in an array of attractive candy colors, it’s hard to choose just one…that is until you look at the price tag. These babies will run you about $700 a pop:

Definitely a splurge, but aren’t they lovely to look at?

Who wore it better?

The shoes will run you about $1,600, but find a lower priced option here or great substitutes here:

NYScene: Beats & Brands Event

Hey Bombshells,
Adriana here with a recap of April 17’s Beat and Brands event in NYC!
Fashion Bomb friends and style connosieurs NINA SKY hosted this funky showcase of music and fashion that featured edgy brands such as Cubannie Links, Mishka, and Claw Money.

The music was pumpin’ with Nicole on the one and twos spinning old school hip-hop, soul, and funk, and with two rooms available–one for shopping, one for dancing–it was a music and style lover’s perfect cocktail. I caught up with Natalie and Nicole, of course:

And chatted up Cubannie Links founder and designer Annie Basulto, who’s a Fashion Bomb enthusiast!

I also snapped a few flicks of the wares for y’all to check out.
Cubannie Links (the bullet earrings seem like something Rihanna would go for, non?):

Mishka(check out the combo hoodie/hot pants):

And Claw Money (my fave was the sassy tee with the female take on the Air Jordan logo):

The packed crowd was a sure sign that the music + fashion combo = winner.

There are plans in the works for more of these–I’ll be sure to let y’all know if and when…
Check out Cubannie Links, Mishka, and Claw Money on their sites.
*Thanks to the homie DG for the look!

You Should Know: Kurt Geiger Shoes

So I was on my buddy’s webpage and randomly clicked on the site for Kurt Geiger:

kurt-geiger-shoes

A UK based shop, Kurt Geiger is Europe’s leading luxury shoe retailer, and offers over 100 brands of decadent designer shoes. While they sell various well known brands (Stuart Weitzman, French Connection), I love the Kurt Geiger mark the most:

I literally want all of them. I’m not kidding.

Drool over the selections at www.kurtgeiger.com.

A few questions/observations:

*Remember when girl groups used to wear matching outfits?

*Isn’t their natural hair really…refreshing?

*Check out old girl’s 5 inch long fingernails!

*Could those denim shorts be any shorter?

*Videos used to be so simple–two wardrobe and scene changes were enough.

Enjoy!
