Thanksgiving is over, but Mail Bombs are still poppin!

I know most of y’all are already AT the mall, so I’ll keep this short and sweet!
First Mhel was wondering about Rocsi’s hot heels:
She says, “Can you tell me who they are by and where I can buy them??
Rocsi is wearing these Balenciaga Fall 2008 d’Orsay stilettos:
Seems this collection was quite popular amongst Fashion Bomb fashionistas, as Ciara was identified wearing their Escarpin Booties in this Mail Bombs Post. Find your pair at www.balenciaga.com.
Next Megan says, “I wanted to know if you could find the designer of this dress??
Of course at her Unicef Gucci event, Ri Ri is wearing Gucci…
The Spring 2009 gown was first modeled by Chanel Iman no less! Who rocked it better?
Alexis B from Washington D.C. says, “I wanted to know where I could find a coat like the one Keri Hilson wore to the Dirty Awards...”
“... It looks great and perfect for the brisk DC weather!
It does! Reader Myranda wrote in and informed me that Keri is in fact wearing this Soldier Girl Coat in Grey:
…get it for only $83 at Fashion Bomb sponsor www.lulus.com!
Next, in a Male Mail Bomb, Hajah says, “I was wondering if you could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me. Lance Gross did a photoshoot with Derek Blanks and he has on a brown leather jacket…”
…He looks great and I want to send this jacket to my brother for Christmas who is actually in the army in Iraq. Please help!
Lance’s stylist Staci wrote in saying, “His Jacket is Dolce & Gabanna. Lance told me several people have been in search for it. Lance had me do a search on the D&G website and that particular jacket is no longer available!Lance is looking out!!! Anyway, try these jackets for a similar look:

That does it!
Hope you’ve all recovered from your turkey coma and are hitting the malls in style!
I’ve got a bit of work today, so let me get down to business.
Bisous!

Friday Video Fun

Do y’all have personal anthems? Q-Tip’s “Vivrant Thing” has been one of mine for years.

The lyrics and video are hot, but the beat is just bananas. (Confession: I sometimes bump this when I’m trying on clothes at home or getting ready to go out. I think everyone has at least one of those jams!).
FYI: Q-Tip ‘s new album, The Renaissance, is a banger.
Hope you all had a fabulous, fashionable Thankgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I saw this image online…it’s slightly offensive, yet I can’t help myself:

Enjoy the turkey, corn bread, mashed potatoes, lasagna, peas & rice, ham….oh my mouth is watering!
I’m grabbing dinner with a few expat friends.
The Fashion Bomb will be back in lite form on Friday, so you can all make time for Black Friday Shopping.
Bisous!

Jourdan Dunn: Model of the Year

Jourdan Dunn took home the Model of the Year award last night at the British Fashion Council’s Annual Ceremony:

At just 18, the young Brit has scored the cover of Italian Vogue, several print campaigns, and made news as the first black model to stomp for Prada since Naomi Campbell 15 years earlier! Snaps for bringing it home! Let’s hope she continues skyward, and doesn’t end up like her.
Bisous!
Psst In other model news, NY Mags whispers that lithe mannequin Sessilee Lopez is boo’ed up with style czar Kanye West! Kanye does have good taste…

We love Rihanna’s style, but do we love her music?

Last night, as a friend was marveling at the many instances of Rihanna on the Fashion Bomb, I thought to myself: Rih-Rih is a certified fashionista, which merits her frequent glances on TFB:

rihanna-sings

But style aside, do we love her music?

Umbrella was a hot hit, but do we bump her CD? I can’t think of one song of hers I’d need in heavy rotation.

Sasha Fierce on the other hand…

…the hits go back for years:
