Fabsugar has the scoop on the t-shirt Beyonce was spotted wearing recently at LAX airport:
…it’s a $38 Public Library’s Samburu Hope T from www.boutiquetoyou.com. Proceeds of t-shirt sales benefit The Samburu Project, which works with communities in Northern Kenya to bring clean drinking water to the region.
Work it out Beyonce!
Hey!
So a friend recently put me onto Barefoot Tess, an online store with women’s shoes in large sizes like 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15:
I know I’ve gotten Mail Bombs before asking for online resources for women with above average shoe sizes. I recommended Zappos, Beverly Feldman, and now you have Barefoot Tess!
And just for you, Fashion Bomb readers get an extra 20% off now through Valentines Day using the code HEART.
Happy Shopping!
Eva Marcille looked party ready at the Launch Party of the video game “Afro Samurai” in Hollywood…
..I love the idea of jumpers: they’re saucy, flattering, and hot! But something about satin always reminds me of pajamas…hmmm.
Do you love?
PS Pretty sure she’s rocking Jenny Dayco earrings.
Hey Fashion Bombers!
Vuitton here with a beauty product alert for everyone!
The only thing worse than getting a pimple are the spots left behind afterwards. So while scouring the net for something to use, I came upon this product…
…Neutrogena’s Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel. I read reviews, and just about everyone seemed to have great things to say about it. I got it, and despite it being over-the-counter, it actually works! But the key is to be consistent. Use as directed, and you’ll see improvements…. I saw results within a week! It’s about $25 at drugstore.com, and about $20 in Zeller’s for my Canadians. For reviews on this product, click here.
Keep it fab!

Hey Fashion Bombers!
Adriana here!
I recently had a chance to catch up with the girls from Nina Sky to chitchat about their style evolution, favorite fashionable things, and which trends they think are tired and need to be fired!
Nicole shares, “Natalie and I were 18 and straight out of high school when we debuted. Our style reflected that: we didn’t wear makeup and probably owned 2 pairs of heels between us both–it was strictly FLY kicks and comfort all dayyyyy! We’ve grown a lot, and have developed a broader taste for clothing. It’s a natural progression; over the years, you just begin to like different things and experiment more. ” Too true for all of us…
For Natalie, “It’s NEVER about what designer I’m wearing: I don’t really follow ‘what’s in’ so I rock what I think is hot. I love to mix designer pieces with vintage and other stuff I find at spots like Forever 21.” Adds Nicole, “Even when we work with stylists, it’s a collaboration. Everything we do has to reflect us as individuals as well as the group NINA SKY.” I think that’s the ideal stylist-client relationship, don’t you?
As for style icons, the ladies cite Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, and Gwen Stefani as some of their favorites (Natalie: “They own that ish!“). Designer-wise, Nicole’s a fan of Boy by Band of Outsiders and Chanel shoes, while Natalie’s an admitted Alexander Wang and Matthew Williamson lover who prefers Betsey Johnson and Louboutins on her feet.
Like yours truly, though, these divas are still devoted sneaker heads, and have now formed a cool partnership with FILA. “If you know about NINA SKY, then you’re familiar with our sneaker collection,” says Nicole. “FILA was launching a young women’s line and wanted to use artists that made sense to market the shoe. Our next step: design a sneaker with them!” I think they have what it takes to create something dope! Natalie has also designed for a young women’s line, MADEME, and a hair salon, cookbook, and acting are also in the works for both.
Now, about those tired trends…ladies, in your opinion, what are people wearing way too much of these days? Natalie: “Keffiyeh scarves!” Nicole: “Headbands!” And what are some of your favorite things from your own personal closet? Natalie: “I love necklaces with gun charms. I have a Cubannie Links Tupac Rosary and an AK-47 Complete Technique chain that I take turns rockin’ daily.” Nicole: “It changes every season but RIGHT NOW it’s this coyote fur trooper hat I bought in Luxembourg.” Jet-setter style–loves it!
Left to Right: Cubannie Links Tupac Rosary, $34; Complete Technique AK 47 Fun Pendant, $340; Muskrat Trapper Hat, $399.
Thank you, NINA SKY!
Check out the ladies’s real talk new single, “On Some Bulls***”, and other goodies at the NINA SKY Myspace page and tell ’em the FB sent ya…
