In the midst of my Christmas revelry, I was saddened to learn that singer, dancer and actress Eartha Kitt passed away at the age of 81. Eartha made many contributions to the worlds of film, music and, of course, fashion:
Her saucy style remained fresh over her six decade long career, a sign that sophistication and sultriness know no age. She will be missed.
Merry Merry Christmas:)
Hey Bombshells,
I’m sure most of you are either chillin at home with your family or out doing last minute shopping. I’m about to hit the stores–I’ve still got a ton of gifts to buy!
With that said, We at the Fashion Bomb would like to wish you the Happiest of Holidays:
Check back soon for trends, celebs, chic ideas, shopping, and even more Fashion Bomb fabulousness.
Smootches!
There weren’t a ton of events this week, but Hollywood sirens still took some time to flaunt their chic:
I’m pulling for Zoe for this week in chic award. What about you?
It’s *freezing* in NYC, and it seems songstress Estelle got the memo, rocking a chic shiny puff coat for Marquee’s 5th anniversary party:
I’m personally contemplating buying one: I only brought a wool jacket from Paris, and it’s just not cutting it! If you want the look as well, try these cute options:
1. Marc New York Belted Puff Jacket, $112.50. 2. Moncler Puffer Jacket with Oversized Collar, $699. 3. Juicy Couture Lady Black Puffer Coat, $448.
Stay warm!
The economy is hitting everyone in the jugular, including several fashion houses. WWD reports that DKNY, Carmen Marc Valvo, Betsey Johnson and more will be ditching their runway presentations in favor of more private showings at their ateliers:
What will Fashion Week be without the typical overstuffed exhausting schedule?

Hey!
So I’m back in the states!! My flight was long, but I’m so happy to be here. I’m off to run a few errands (and pick up some Cocoa Butter!), but know a few of y’all still need your Fashion Bomb fix:)
Some of the best parts of this year were The Fashion Bomb’s Real Style subjects:
From the streets of New York…
To Philly…
To California hotspots San Francisco and Los Angeles...
And even to international locales like London…
And Paris...
…Fashion Bomb Real Style subjects brought authentic, unique fashion to the streets in the most fabulous ways. Colorful, funky, and fun, Real Style 2008 was the bomb, and it will only get better (my first trip of the New Year will be to Rome!).
What was your favorite Real Style?
Smootches!
Nicole Richie has joined the ranks of celeb designers, debuting her line Harlow 1960 on ShopKitson.com.
A few items:
Bottom Row: Black Stud Leather Earrings, $60; Orange Pyramid Bangle, $65; Pave Thick Antique Ring, $48.
I’ll be honest: the inner skeptic comes out whenever I hear another celebrity is launching a fashion or accessories line. But the fashionista in me says, “I like it!” Every item is flashy enough for a night out, yet simple enough to keep in rotation for casual days. And with prices ranging from $55 to $200, Harlow 1960 is pretty affordable.
What do you think?
