Last but certainly not least, we have fashionable Anitra, who also went for a beauty angle in a different way, highlighting a cool product currently on the market. Enjoy! “Sometimes, we come across products that are so simply genius we think, “why didn’t I think of that?” No matter who the mastermind is, this product should be staple in every Fashion Bomber’s beauty stash. For those who can’t part with their mascara on their lower lashes, but hate raccoon eyes, Tarte has got you covered. Tarte’s Bottoms Up – Lower Lash Mascara ($16, Sephora)….”
“…features a mini brush that allows you to reach the tiniest lashes for even application. The water-resistant formula is paraben, mineral oil, and sulfate free. Genius and good for you too!”
Well that does it! This is the last intern new feature post before our finalists duke it out tomorrow with their individual newsy items.
Keep the great comments coming, I’m loving it!
Candidate Amber thinks we could use a bit more beauty. Take a peek at her beauty bomb on Fashion Bomb regular, Tyra Banks:
“Tyra Banks looked ready for spring on the red carpet of the launch party for America’s Next Top Model Obsessed. Tyra paired her bronzed skin with glossy fuchsia lips and deep pink cheeks. She finished off the glamorous look with a smoky eye and long lashes.”
Today we have an entry from Mississippi diva Ashley, who proposed that we do Style Files with a throwback twist. In her intro letter, she said, “As a monthly feature, “Vintage Style,” would feature a fabulous look from the past, a modern way to rock it, and items along with their retailers where the pieces can be found!” For her post, she chose to profile classic Southern Belle, Whitley Gilbert. Enjoy!
“1987’s Cosby show spin-off A Different World was initially intended to be a vehicle for bohemian beauty Lisa Bonet. While we enjoyed Denise Huxtable’s antics for awhile, the show was inevitably stolen by the almost eerily polished Jasmine Guy. For six seasons southern debutante Whitley Gilbert (nee Wayne!) sashayed across the fictional Hillman College in an array of fur coats, Italian leather pumps, Louis bags, and a sickening arsenal of Chanel suits. The messages the show delivered were always positive (who else still watches the re-runs?) and more often than not punctuated with a chic look from their resident Southern Belle. Whitley’s wardrobe consisted of classics that would be appropriate in any situation and, most importantly, were timeless. The show ended in 1993, but Whitley’s style, as Mademoiselle herself would say, remains. Want Whitley’s classic look, but with a modern flair? Try these cute (and affordable) pieces:”
Ola Lovelies!
I’m just coming down from the sheer excitement of yesterday. I couldn’t stop myself from watching Obama’s inauguration video and clapping to myself. Yes we did!!
Today is Day 3 of the Fashion Bomb internship contest! Keep an eye peeled for fun posts from contenders Anitra, Ashley, and Amber.
And a note about the contest: Adriana and I really did scour through all the applicants with a fine toothed hot comb, and chose the finalists after everyone competed in a preliminary contest. While absolutely everyone did fabulously, we could only choose a handful, and we think the top picks are the bomb!
With that said, enjoy, and continue to let us know what you think. Also, stay tuned tomorrow for the ‘tern takeover: an onslaught of the hottest beauty and fashion news on the web!
Bisous!
C & A

I absolutely love that magazines are using more women of color in their pages; it certainly is refreshing. But part of me feels that as ad dollars are dwindling, print mags are looking to last minute gimmicks to get any and every one (meaning us) to buy them on newsstands. Perhaps I’m being cynical…
Barack defines dapper in a tux and white bowtie, while Michelle sparkles in a white chiffon one shouldered gown by 26-year-old designer Jason Wu. Who is Mr. Wu?
A Parson’s graduate and native of Taiwan, Wu has only been designing for a few years and just recently got picked up by major stores like Nordstrom. In an interview, when asked about the probability of Michelle picking his design, he said it was “a long shot.“
But Wu, like Obama, shows that absolutely everything is possible, regardless of race or age.
No excuses stylistas!
Go forth in fashion…
Video of the first dance:
“Latin Flavor, surreal lines, and futuristic content define Isabel Toledo’s radical fashion sewn in the tradition of couture. Toledo, who speaks of herself as a seamstress rather than a fashion designer, creates in the manner of couturiers such as Madame Vionnet and Madame Gres. Like them, she does not start from a flat sketch, but envisions clothing in three dimensions, always bearing a shape in her mind, usually a circle or a curved line. ‘I love the maths behind the romance,’ she says of her so-called liquid architecture’s craftsmanship….Toledo’s husband, Ruben, known for his whimsical fashion illustrations, manages the business side of the New York based company and acts as her creative alter ego.“
Pssst, First Lady Obama is also wearing Jimmy Choo heels and J.Crew gloves! The little ladies, Sasha and Malia, are in J.Crew Crewcuts. They. are. adorable.
