Hot! or Hmm…: Maestro Fresh Wes at Canada’s Juno Awards

Earlier this week, Canadian rapper/actor Maestro Fresh Wes was spotted on the red carpet at the Juno Awards (Canada’s equivalent to the Grammys).

While I like the pin-stripe suit and the fact that the blazer button rule was adhered to, something about the fit of his suit and the shoes make me go hmm…  I think he could have been more dapper with minor adjustments.

What do you guys think?

Celebrity Trend: Lace

So we at The Fashion Bomb have noticed a new certified celebrity trend…

celebrity-lace-keyshia-selita-rihanna

…Lace!
The seductive, sometimes sheer fabric has gone from the boudoir to clubs and red carpets, spicing up dresses or stunting on its own in tops and skirts. Depending on how you rock it, you can either look flawlessly elegant or tremendously trashy.
Let’s take a look:

Men’s Style: Vuitton’s Favorite Things

Hey Fashion Bombers!

Today, I wanted to give you guys a peek into my closet.

Most of the time, I dress up for school regardless of occasion or weather:

vuitton-edit-1

1. Blackout Sunglasses, 18.  2. Guess Duran Blazer, $168 CAD.  3. Sperry Top-Sider Bahama deck shoe, $50.  4. David Yurman Thoroughbred Bracelet, $395.

This summer is all about my Sperry Top-Sider Bahama deck shoes.  They ooze versatility and have a classic appeal.  My David Yurman Thoroughbred Bracelet rarely leaves my arm, as it goes from day to night easily and pops with anything from sneakers to dress shoes. I got it for my 21st birthday, and it’s become a staple piece for me. A classic black jacket, like this Guess Duran Blazer, instantly upgrades a pair of jeans. And my Blackout Sunglasses add the necessary dash of cool.

5. Levis 520 Blue Steel Jean, $54.  6. Thierry Mugler A Men cologne, $55.  7. Holly Readers, $14.  8. Lacoste Crew Neck Cable-Knit Sweater, $102. 9. Nike Dunk High Earthquakes, $90.

I absolutely love Levis 520 Blue Steel Jeans! I’m a slim guy, so they strike the perfect balance between not-so-skinny and not-so-baggy.  Bonus: they’re very easy to dress up or down.  Thierry Mugler A Men cologne is a must have for any guy.   It’s light lavender scent with musk, tar, and vanilla undertones makes it perfect for the entire year.  The cracked pattern and the colors of my Nike Dunk High Earthquakes add the right amount of quirkiness to any casual outfit. And I love to chill in my Lacoste Crew Neck Cable-Knit Sweater (worn with wayfarers!) and my fresh eyewear swag (love my Holly Readers).

What do you guys think of my faves?

Keep it fab!
