Tennis champ Serena Williams was spotted recently in NYC rocking a chic Yves Saint Laurent Muse, Christian Louboutin pumps, and a fur trimmed coat in chic slimming black:
While she typically toes the line between certified stylista and fashion faux pas, this time around she looks hot!
What do you think?
So last night my buddy and I went out to a few fashion week festivities!
We started at Hotel Costes, then made our way to Magnifique, a cute boite in the 1st arrondissement. Imagine my surprise when I ran into Fashion Bomb friend Andre J:
Yes honey! He was wearing a molded gold dress with a pair of daisy dukes that would make Amber Rose blush!
Word on the street is that he’s making the Paris Fashion Week rounds with Carine Roitfeld (remember, he graced the cover of French Vogue once upon a time).
Will keep you posted on other Fashion Week sighting and what nots.
Bisous!
Hey Lovelies!
So Paris Fashion Week started yesterday. I was hesitant to write about it because I’m pretty green to the Paris scene, and didn’t know if I’d get an opportunity to go to any shows. Thankfully a few fashionable friends came through, and I was able to drop into the Rick Owens show today at Les Beaux Arts de Paris:
I chose my French Connection fur trimmed ivory coat for the occasion, along with a pair of Oliver Peoples Sunglasses!
My friend and I made our way to the venue, and let me tell you, it’s very different from New York Fashion Week. How? Instead of being in one place, the shows are scattered around Paris. Also, it seems you have to definitely know someone at the door to slide past the 5 layers of security:
After a bit of banter back and forth, we got in, and entered the dark room:
The room was full of fashion all stars. I spotted Kate Lamphear and Anne Slowey of Elle Magazine, Robin Givhan of the Washington Post perched front row right next to Anna Wintour (along with Morley Safer, who’s interviewing La Wintour for a 60 Minutes Special), Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune and of course, la piece de resistance, Carine Roitfeld of French Vogue. I stopped gawking for a moment to take in the show. Rick Owens brought his typical avant garde flair: jackets with asymmetrical silhouettes, a subdued color palette of black, gray, and champagne, and lots of space agey details.
Not quite my style, but I could see how some of the black pieces could fit seamlessly into any wardrobe and how a few of the less edgy items could become classics over time. I also caught the final walk thanks to my Flip:
I have a few more shows on my platter. This and much more from Paris!
Bisous!
Lots of chic for this first week of March:
People might hate on Estelle’s style, but I love her Hermes belt!

New York Magazine’s the Cut reports that Forever 21 will soon launch a plus size line geared towards voluptuous fashionistas:
They say, “The average woman is a size 14, but most designers don’t produce beyond a size 10.“
Forever 21 has already triumphed by offering affordable clothes to scores of divas on a budget. Are you curvaceous vixens excited about this new development?
Robin Givhan of the Washington Post offers a rundown of the collections at Milan Fashion Week:
The verdict: The 80’s are back. And angry.

Hey Fashion Bombers!
It’s Vuitton here with a trend report on a spring staple: denim jackets.
Leather jackets may have to take a back seat!
For some odd reason last Friday, while all my friends were craving food, I had a craving for a jean jacket. So I hopped on over to Zeller’s and found a Levi’s denim number for about $40. Quite a steal, plus it’s a perfect item for those warm, but brisk days.
Here are some looks for both men and women that incorporate my favorite new piece!

Rock your denim with confidence, but first pay attention to a few rules:
1. NEVER wear the exact shade of denim on top and on the bottom. You don’t want to end up looking like an extra in a late 90s music video. Contrast is key!
2. It’s spring, so roll the sleeves. Ladies can take it as high as the elbow. Guys, just roll up enough to show the wrist, especially if your watch game is on point.
3) Popped collars on denim jackets are much better than popped collars on shirts…ALWAYS!
That’s it for now. Until next time…keep it fab!

New reality show Harlem Heights, which traces the lives of some of New York’s flyest, debuted last night on BET.
The glamorous cast came out to party, and the girls chose some interesting frocks:
Sheer, strapless, metallic…Do we love?
