Take It or Leave It: 2008

Hey Bombshells!
Adriana here, and besides checking out all the crazy post-holiday sales, I’ve been thinking about which 2008 fashion trends we should leave firmly behind and which should follow us into the new year. 2008 gave us quite a few fads. Let’s take a look:
Statement Bags on Red Carpets:

I love a statement bag but think they speak best when toted on the way to work or during a weekend afternoon of errands–not at an awards show. Leave it in ’08!
Nerd Glasses on Dudes:

I might be one of the very few to say this: personally, I dug this trend (though will admit it did get slightly played out) and admire when guys step away from the BAPE t-shirt and retro Air Jordans uniform. Take the trend to ’09!
Rihanna’s Vamp Swagger:

It’s true: imitation is one of the highest forms of flattery. But you know it’s bad when even superstars like Beyonce start to copy pop’s reigning fashion queen. Stars and stylists have enough fabulousness of their own (that’s why they do what they do!) to come up with more original and personalized looks. Let’s leave it in ’08 and hopefully find other ways to be edgy in ’09. Which leads us to Emerging Stylistas:
’08 saw lots of stars come out of the fashion closet and step their game up fiercely. Keyshia Cole, Cassie, Keri Hilson, and Solange are just some of the divas who put themselves on the style map with fresh looks that were fashionable and distinct. We need more originals: let’s take it with us to ’09!
Also in ’08: celebrity clothing lines, Herve Leger dresses, stars. vs. models on fashion magazine covers. Which could you take or leave?

Style Tribute: Eartha Kitt

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.

Happy Holidays!!

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:

Holiday Week in Chic

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?

Get the Look: Shiny Bubble Coat

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!

Fewer Shows this Fashion Week

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:
