Today I wanted to put you on to the amazing sculptural designs of Jason Chart Davies, a jewelery designer for London based furniture and objects shop Lazerian….
Jason’s bracelets, hand-crafted in sheet plastic, offer a geometric, material based approach. Ranging in price from £50-£130 ($70-$230 USD), Davies’ bracelets are quite a splurge! But with neutral colors and a unique look, the bracelets will fit seamlessly into your wardrobe while turning quite a few heads.

Last night budding style maven Keyshia Cole hosted a Vanity Fair party at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont…
As the hostess with the mostest, she chose to don a strapless metallic number from Lebanese designer Basil Soda’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection…
I’m a sucker for a strapless, and this dress strikes a balance between classic and edgy. In short, she looks hot!
What do you think?
Pssst, here’s a pic of the dress straight from the runway: See more of Basil Soda’s designs at www.basilsoda.com.
The force behind the well made faces at Dior, Gucci, Miu Miu, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana…
…is none other than British beauty aficionado Pat McGrath! One of the world’s most sought after makeup artists, Pat caught her big break working for stylist and fashion director Edward Enninful, and is now the go to person for prominent fashion photographers (she’s a favorite of Steven Meisel) and magazines like Vogue, W, and Harper’s Bazaar.
McGrath has designed Armani and Dolce and Gabbana’s cosmetic lines and was named creative-design director for Proctor & Gamble in charge of Max Factor and Covergirl cosmetics.
It’s pretty safe to say: she works magic with makeup!

Can you believe it’s been twenty years since “Self-Destruction” came out?
Aside from the activism the song and the Stop the Violence Movement promoted, the video is a picture-perfect fashion time capsule of 1989: door-knocker earrings, full-length furs, Troop jackets, shearlings, kente cloth, and leather hats (hmm, so much of that is back right now). And cameos galore! MC Lyte, D-Nice, Big Daddy Kane, Heavy D…
Could something like it happen again today, do you think?
Regardless, it’s a fashionably fitting throwback for Black History Month!

Hey Bombshells!
Today we have a special treat for you: An exclusive interview with…
…Dawn Richard!
Don’t know Dawn? She was of a member of the wildly popular girl group Danity Kane…
…formed by the ubiquitous Diddy on MTV’s Making the Band. Now that the girls have gone their separate ways, this New Orleans native is pursuing a few solo projects, including penning songs for Cassie and Diddy’s albums and producing a comic book, www.danitykanecomics.com.
She took a short break from shooting Season 5 of Making the Band to give us the scoop on her favorite style items and beauty must haves.
About her singular look, Dawn says, “I’ve always had an edgier style….I tend to go for short, mainly because I’m only 5’3″ so I have to make the legs look long!“ “…My favorite color is teal, but I love dark colors like black, grey, and plum. I adore designers like Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Chanel, Chloe, and Stella McCartney.“
Great taste! Top designers are cool for big events, but what about when you’re kicking it with your girls? She says, “The casual kick back look for me is a Martin Margiela 6 tunic with black tights, a boyfriend blazer and my dependable Y-3 boots.“ So, you see, we have a certified stylista on our hands! Naturally her fashionable favorites read like a hot list of top designer accessories… She says, “I never go anywhere without my Louis Vuitton platform shoes from their Fall collection, my Martin Margiela spring ’09 sunglasses (they look like ski glasses…they’re so Star Trek!), my Tina Turner fringe Louboutin boots (I feel like I wanna go dancing when I wear them!), my Miu Miu gold sandals with crystal nuggets in the heel, my limited edition Chanel round sunglasses, my black classic Christian Louboutins (every girl should have them), my Tory Burch green purse, and my Margiela bottle cap ring and paper clip bracelet.”
Style and beauty go hand in hand, so Dawn indulged, “MAC makeup is my survival kit!! I also love Carol’s Daughter, their mousse and hair products are so organic and light! And I love Coco Chanel and Pink Sugar..I love smelling like candy..lol!”

We’re sure Que likes candy as well, so I had to ask what the lovebirds were doing for V-Day! She laughs, “We will probably be working, so I don’t know yet!” Ok, no dish on the big plans, but she tells the Fashion Bomb that Que has been getting into modeling. “I think he’d make a great D&G model!” Cute. Dawn had to get back to taping, so to her fans she says, “Thank you for all your support..I hope you continue on this journey with me.” And to the fashionistas she offers this advice, “The best style you can have is your own…there is no wrong way…stay creative!“
Check out Dawn’s comics at www.danitykanecomics.com and keep an eye peeled for her on MTV and beyond!
Bisous! *Pssst, if you have any other questions for Dawn, leave a comment! I’ll see what I can do to get you an answer:)
She rocked a grey banded Herve Leger gown for jeweler Lorraine Schwartz’s dinner party in NYC a few days ago. Hot or Hmm?
PS Dawn had the following to say about Herve, “I have like five Herve Leger dresses, and people tell me all the time, ‘Chill out with the Herve!‘ But I say wear what the heck you want…it fits curves great. It sucks in all the excess, so I say as long as you’re killin it…rock it!”
