Move over Christian Louboutin! I think I’ve fallen in love with a new designer: Brian Atwood. The line creates drool worthy shoes at splurge worthy prices! Today, check out these Eva Ankle Tie Sandals:
Caliente! At $795, these must be the main event. Save on a simple, affordable dress:
Ok. I’ve gotta admit: I haven’t seen Harlem Heights!! I know, I know.
BET.com is soooo slow on my computer–besides the main shows I watch online are Judge Judy and For the Love of Ray J. What can I say, I love trash TV.
So I’ve been getting bits and pieces on the cast from articles, and thankfully today AOL StyleSpotter interviewed the girls for a fashion focused piece:
Seems these ladies have great taste! The girls list Chanel Bags, Zanotti Shoes, Nicole Miller dresses and Versace boots as part of their fashion arsenals.
Snaaaaps!
Read the rest of the article here, but tell me: is the show any good?
Cruising over at Stuff Fly People Like, I caught this recent pic of Keyshia Cole logo’ed out in a Gucci Monogram Spring Jacket:
It’s hard for Keyshia to go wrong: She has a cute style and the attitude to pull this off.
But something about logos in general makes me go Hmmm…
It’s one thing to rock a bag…
A hot pair of monogram shoes…
A hat…
…or even some luggage…
But at what point do logos go from tasteful…
To utterly tasteless?
Hey!
So as the weather improves, more and more Parisians are filtering outside, increasing my chances of capturing Real Style. While sitting in the sun by the Hotel de Ville, I spotted this young lady reading a magazine, and had to take her picture:
I admired her Zoe Kravitz-esque swagger. Her headband was cute as a button, as were her Ray Bans and tunic. She looked very relaxed, yet tres chic. J’adore!
What do you think?
The fashionable were out en force this weekend as we rung in spring! Though most still sported winter-appropriate basic black, it didn’t stop a few bright tones from peeking through–let’s take a look…
Over in her home state of Texas, Bomb favorite Solange kept it to the beat of her own drum in a tuxedo blazer, tiered tank top, and a sky blue mini skirt with cloud prints. The matching sky blue makeup and fuchsia pumps lend the outfit Solo’s signature offbeat quirk and for a look only she could probably rock…cute and hot!
Here in NYC, UK popster Estelle sported black trousers and leather with pops of color from a patterned silk chiffon scarf, silver accessories, and an electric blue pedi. I’m feeling the pieces individually but something about them all together makes the outfit a bit too cluttered, hmm…
In L.A., sexy siren Eva Mendes goes for sophisticated with a ribbed silk sheath in eggshell and scarlet suede pumps. Her tousled waves and simple yet eye-catching accessories only make the look more well-rounded. Definitely a simmering hot!
Back on the East coast, Charlie’s Angel Lucy Liu played angel to a group of young Asian women and looked dazzling while doing so. Her waist-cinched black and white skirt and short-sleeved blouson blouse are appropriately chic for an afternoon of inspiring the kids. Hot!
And up in Toronto, Fashion Bomb newbie and Canadian music personality Traci Melchor went for funky and tailored in a grey, ruffle-hemmed sheath with black piping, opaque tights, and dark grey patent leather booties. Her corset-like belt and Stephen Sprouse Vuitton speedy also give the outfit a nice edge. Hot!
What say you?

OK, I have a confession to make: When I was a young bombshell I had a major crush on Bobby Brown.
One of my first TAPES (yes cassette tapes) was Bobby Brown’s 1988 album Don’t Be Cruel:
YES. This was before the show Being Bobby Brown of course, when Bobby was still young, fresh, and fine! Here’s a video to reflect on those days when he was still the real prince of R&B.
Note: This clip is taken from a VHS tape all about Bobby Brown that I owned as well called His Prerogative! I probably still have it. Oh lord…
A few observations from his interview and video:
*Do you hear that Boston accent? Swooooon…
*You know he was straight lying when he said he was a homebody!!! And that he liked to read….
*Remember when the running man was the hottest dance?
*And the slanted fade was the hottest haircut?
*Um, who else knew the choreography to this? Oh, just me..?
*When in the world was it ok for grown men to wear spandex shorts with suspenders and a wife beater?
I won’t even post a Being Bobby Brown clip to see how things have changed. Let’s just revel in this vintage BB classic.
Enjoy!
