Hey, hey!
So Fall is the perfect time to throw on a cozy sweater in lieu of a jacket or coat; the weather is in that mild period between warm and chilly, and a knit is a great solution.
You can go with several different options:
Pair a warm sweater with a pair of dark washed jeans, a la Jill Scott…
Ah..back in New York, back on the grind! I was able to indulge in a bit of mag reading on the plane, and came across a very cool item in this month’s Elle Magazine. Lili Tan reports that for the second time, Bono’s One Campaign-Edun Project is releasing limited edition t-shirts, whose sales with help fight poverty and bring trade to Africa. Last year, Bono’s one T-shirts helped raise $276,000, which went towards providing medical care and education to the people of Lesotho, an African country where almost 1/3 of the population is infected by AIDS.
This year, ten dollars from each shirt goes to Apparel Lesotho for Africa, which provides antiretroviral drugs to factory workers and their families. Elle says, “It allows the same people who make the tees to reap trade and medical benefits.” Plenty of stars are involved in promoting the Campaign, including Kerry Washington… Rashida Jones… ..and Gwyneth Paltrow. Want one of your own? Visit www.one.org for info on the cause and to get your $40 shirt. I’m getting one… Smootches!
Happy Friday! I’m in ATL, feasting on a delicious Chick Fil A chicken sandwich (with some sweet tea to wash it down). I love the South! Sweet tea just makes me feel…like home. Anyway, I know you’re all looking forward to mail bombs. I have a bit of time for just a few… Let’s get to it! First up reader Marlo says, “I just love Rihanna’s outfit in this pic….”“… Lately she has really been doing her thing. How can I copy this look?” Hey! Rihanna’s casual shopping look shouldn’t be hard to replicate. First, you’ll need a hot leather motorcycle jacket. If you’re feeling ballerific, this $656 S.W.O.R.D Volterra Jacket fits the bill… …if that’s too expensive, this Bagatelle motorcycle jacket will work as well…. …get it for $185 at www.neimanmarcus.com. Throw on any graphic t-shirt… Top Row: Daisy Duck Tee, $28, www.urbanout.com; Harlow Drape Top Tee, $110, shopbop.com Bottom Row: Made U Look Tee, $38, www.bluefly.com; Women’s Insect Graphic Tee, $16.50, www.oldnavy.com. Then slip on some of the season’s newest trend: leather tights. You can go with this $780 pair by Rag & Bone, advertised in the NYTimes… But if you can’t afford actual leather, go with a pair of latex tights like this $113 pair by Kova & T… Put on some patent leather flat boots: Top Row: Aquatalia by Marvin K. Wasabi 2, $239, Zappos.com Kate Spade ‘Aziza’ Patent Boots, $380, www.bloomingdales.com. Bottom Row: Delman “Kimana” Tall Patent Leather Boot, $495, www.bloomingdales.com; Nine West Darkside Boots, $193, Zappos.com And don’t forget the hat! Try this $275 Chunky Knit Beenie by Burbery Prorsum: …or get the same look with this more reasonable Cashmere Button Tab Beanie… …for $49.50 at www.bananarepublic.com. Next, reader Stephanie says, “I wanted to know where I can find boots like the ones D. Woods is wearing…” “…They are really cute and I need new boots for the winter!” Hey, no problem! I think that these Dolce Vita Allure Cuffed High Heel Boots could work… ….Get ’em for $225 at shopbop.com Boots are a popular topic! Reader Melissa says, “I’ve been looking all around town for a pair of knee high flat boots but have returned empty handed. I recently saw this photo of Lindsay Lohan wearing exactly what I am looking for…” “…Any tips or hints about where I could find an identical pair??” Hey Melissa! You can find over the knee boots in any range of prices: Want to splurge? Go with this $595 of pair Delman Kamira Leather Over the Knee Boots… Too much? These Vivianna Boots fit the bill… …they’re a more affordable $225 at www.guess.com. Next, reader Alfrieda says, “Lately a lot of women celebs have been upping their shoe game by wearing heels that have a splash of color on the heel. I have seen them on Tracy Ellis Ross, Nia Long, Gabrielle Union and others – I have been all on the internet trying to find out who manufactures them. Would you happen to know where I can find them?” Hey Alfrieda! Hmm…Christian Louboutin shoes are known for having a red sole. Check out the left hand topics and go under ‘Christian Louboutin’…I talk about them allll the time on the blog. In case you’re *not* talking about Louboutins and are instead talking about a style of shoe, I found that these Nine West Gaffer shoes have an alluring splash of color. You can get them with a Fuchsia heel…
Hey Everyone!
So I’m at home, chillin in the ATL with the fam…I had an early flight this morning (8am), so couldn’t prepare anything for today. Thankfully one of my new interns Alisha, (yup that’s right, there are more), contributed a post today about two of her favorite hometown boutiques, Lux and Shoe-nami. We’re trying to take The Fashion Bomb national and international; this is the first Boutique Spotlight that isn’t in Brooklyn or Atlanta! If you also have cool hometown boutiques that are a must visit, e-mail me at thefashionbomb@gmail.com.
Now on to Alisha’s post…Enjoy!
************************************************************************** Hey girls and guys ,
New intern Alisha here, hailing from Tennessee!
Thanks to Claire, I’m going to attempt to blog on one of favorite things: finding new boutiques. Every city has at least one shop that its natives just can’t live without. You don’t always have to be in New York or L.A. to find the hotness!
My first pick: LUX Style (906 S. Cooper St.Memphis, TN 38104)…
…Tucked away in the ecletic and trendy Cooper-Young area in Memphis, Tennessee is a true gem, LUX Style. Opened in 2004 by Tadd Feazell, LUX brings true women’s and men’s fashion to Memphis via Brands like Diesel, Andrew Christian and Double Zero. Any given weekend, you can catch hip fashionistas shopping for the hottest shoes, apparel and jewelry while a DJ spins right there on the sidewalk. Check out LUX’s new online store at www.luxmemphis.com or visit them on Myspace at www.myspace.com/luxmemphis
A few of Lux’s hot items: Alluring Jewelry Men’s Shirt, Romme Homme, $89 Dress, Nelli, $169 Boot, N.Y.L.A., $178
Cute!
My next Boutique Pick:
Shoe-Nami (3412 Poplar Avenue Memphis, TN 38111)… …When you want to find the cutest, yet inexpensive shoes and accessories to accent your ensemble, definitely hit up Shoe-Nami. Though the flagship store is in New Orleans, Memphis received its own piece of the Crescent City after Hurricane Katrina. Even after being nestled in a popular shopping area for nearly two years, many still don’t know about it. From wedges, to platforms, flats, boots, flip flops and pumps, Shoe-Nami has it all. The best thing about the store is the shoes are color-coordinated. What more could a fashionista want? A few Fashion Bomb worthy choices: Red Patent Leather Wedge, Gen.E.Ration, $34 Red Patent Leather Clutch, Karma, $44 Brown Faux Croc Clutch, Galian, $40 (Blue, $44)
If you’re ever in Tennessee, make sure to stop on by!
*****************************************************************
Great Job, Alisha!
These interns are life savers….
Hopefully I’ll have time for some mail bombs tomorrow.
Until then…
Smootches!
“I’m convinced that we black women possess a special, indestructible strength that allows us to not only get down but to get up, to get through and to get over.”–Janet Jackson, Soul Train Awards, 2004
Hey Guys!
Thanks for all your great comments yesterday. A change will come…hopefully. But does anyone else think it’s really disturbing that there are so many incidents of noose hangings around the country? Are we sliding backwards? Scary.
Anyway today, I decided to revert back to my normal, lighter fare: a weekly Style File, this time around on icon, actress, and musician…
…Janet Jackson!
Homegirl has been setting trends for decades, and her style has only gotten more refined with time. Let’s check out her some of her more recent representations:
For red carpet events, she favors dresses in solid colors like slimming blacks… …ravishing red… …alluring burgundy satin… …or demure brown… …all in flattering v-neck or strapless cuts with long skirts accented by stilettos or boots.
For more casual settings, menswear inspired outfits are the rule rather than the exception for Janet, who sports dresses with tie accents… …dresses with collared and cuffed elements…. …riding boots…. …newsboy caps… …and even fedoras and jackets… …with mile high spiked heels.
Hot.
Want to cop her burgundy dress game?
Try this $420 Nicole Miller V-Neck Stretch Satin Sheath… …or get the same idea for a lower price with this $158 Donna Rico Stretch Satin Sheath Dress… …from nordstrom.com.
Want to achieve a menswear inspired look?
Just rock a fedora like this $29 Gold Metallic number…. Tops like this $44 Sweater with Attached Collar…. …or even a pair of hot, wide, leg pants like these $88 Ponte Button Trousers…. …You’ll be in control:)
Smootches!
PS I’m gonna be traveling tomorrow (going home to the A for the wknd), so I’ll try my best to update (or get one of the ‘terns to contribute)! If not, I’m sure you’ll understand…
PSS A few throwback viddy’s, just for fun.

This woman is fierce! Over forty and flawless.
“Designers aren’t thinking about the world or diversity of their consumer base. I think it’s lazy…We have a broad audience we’re selling too, but to not address that on a runway is old-fashioned, and we’re in the business of making fashion.”–Tracy Reese.
Hey, hey!
So as you know, last night I attended Part Deux of the “Blacks in Fashion” Forum.
I made my way over to the New York Public Library at 6:30…and the room eventually became quite crowded…
…with fashionistas and fashionistos.
A few luminaries came out.
Vera Wang surprisingly made an appearance…. …(those are horrible pictures, I know, but she didn’t stick around long enough afterwards for me to formally ask for a picture)…
A very vocal Iman was in the front row… …and tons of others (including a few Fashion Bomb Readers!) filled the seats.
The talk got underway, with designer Tracy Reese, Stylist Lori Goldstein, casting agent James Scully, and model agent David Ralph on the panel…. …Bethann Hardison moderated. If you remember the first meeting, I’d say that similar issues were addressed: how editors believe black covers don’t sell; designers don’t request ethnic models; black models compete against each other (hear that Tyra and Naomi!); agents don’t feel they need more than one black girl; and how image makers don’t have an eye or recognize black beauty.
Though the discussion started off reiterating a lot of the same issues, it eventually seemed to go a step further by addressing the large role magazine editors play in filling editorial pages with diversity, and how that affects the runway. If you remember the article from jezebel.com, you’d recall that a whopping 7 out of the 9 major fashion magazines totally lacked black models in their editorial pages for the month of October. Sad.
Instead of crying ‘Racism’ a la Vivienne Westwood, Wendell Brown, a senior fashion editor of color at Esquire magazine made a great observation: he knows from experience that sometimes editors at these magazines just don’t think of including a person of color until someone in the room mentions it. Meaning these editors aren’t discriminatory per se, just unaware. Seems they just need someone on staff to gently remind them.
Interesting….
The talk went on for a good two hours, and eventually photographer Marc Baptiste asked the big question: “What’s the Solution?”
Bethann stated that her goal was simply to get people talking: to get bloggers buzzing, major newspapers writing (thanks Kenya Hunt and Guy Trebay) and to make the world at large aware of this very serious problem. Mission accomplished! Take a look at the front page of your local metro newspaper…
Hopefully the dialogue won’t end here.
Afterwards I went down and chit chatted with a few of fashion’s finest.
Yaya from ANTM fame showed her support… As did Harriette Cole, Creative Director of Ebony magazine…. …Beverly Smith, the former Fashion Editor at large for Vibe magazine, and current judge on BET J’s My Model is better than Your Model came through…. …and brought a couple Fashion Bomb readers with her!
And I of course had to snap a few pictures! I caught up with Michaela Angela Davis (founding Fashion Director of Vibe Magazine, former Fashion Director and Editor in Chief of Honey Magazine)… Robin Givhan (Pulitzer prize winning Fashion Editor for the Washington Post)…. Tracy Reese (super duper dope Fashion Designer) and Bethann herself! Yay!
I told them all about the Fashion Bomb. Hopefully they’ll be tuning in today!
Smootches! Fashion News and What Nots:
*Speaking of designers of color, Kimora’s KLS line is popping up on every red carpet.
Here, Anna Kournikova and Mya rock the same KLS dress.
Who looked more FAB (FAshion Bomb)?
*USA Today reports that several US Cities are balking over baggy pants. Guys still wear those?
*YBF reports that Rihanna….
and J. Lo…
…both nabbed November covers. It’s a start!
Hey, hey!
So I was on the train the other day, and noticed this lovely young dreaded lady…
…I thought she had a very chic look, so I had to snap a picture. I liked how she mixed casual fall accessories–a newsboy cap, bright scarf, boots, and blazer–with a hot Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag.
Smart Style, care of the 3 train.
Smootches!
Fashion News and What Nots
*Check out Guy Trebay’s latest article on the lack of ethnic models in fashion. An excerpt, “Although black women in the United States spend more than $20 billion on apparel each year, according to estimates by TargetMarketNews.com, it was hard to discern an awareness of this fact on the part of designers showing in New York, where black faces were more absent from runways than they have been in years…”
* FINALLY, the website www.jezebel.comtalks about the role that magazine editors have in this whole shebang. An excerpt, “You know what would be really political? If women’s magazine editors debated the diversity of black beauty not just in the conference rooms of white-shoe law firms but in their pages.” I asked a prominent black editor about the lack of blacks in editorial roles at the last talk and she dismissed me as being ‘off topic.’ Really?
Look at this: Black Models In Fashion Editorial, October 2007: Marie Claire: 1, starring solo in a 6-page fashion editorial W: 1, appearing on 1 page of a 20-page fashion editorial Vogue: 0 Harper’s Bazaar: 0 Glamour: 0 Cosmopolitan: 0 Allure: 0 Lucky: 0 Elle: 0
I subscribe to…a lot of those…
*Whoa, whoa, did you hear about this?!? Apparently a Glamour staffer said that Afro’s and Dreadlocks were office ‘no-no’s’. “The Glamour staffer allegedly told the room that she thought it was ‘shocking’ that people still think it’s ‘appropriate’ to wear those hairstyles at the office.’ Woooow. Thankfully, Glamour’s EIC, Cindi Lieve, has responded. The response is great, but makes me wonder about these mag editors…
* I know you’re going to the talk on Blacks in Fashion tonight at 7pm! Haven’t purchased your $15 ticket? Click here. See ya there…and if not you know I’ll give you the blow by blow tomorrow:) Update: It’s sold out
….let’s work.
First up readers Liyah and Giselle from Trinidad and Tobago fell in love with Rihanna’s look from a recent shopping trip…
Giselle says, “I saw this picture of Rihanna and I fell in love with her choice of clothing –the simplicity and ‘chic-ness’ rub me the right way. Can you make suggestions for this look?”
I must admit, Rihanna does look fly! This style shouldn’t be hard to achieve.
Start with a deep v neck sweater dress like these….
Left to right: IRO Bird Intarsia Sweater Dress, $132, shopbop.com Zzara V Neck Knit Dress, $55, www.yesstylecom.
Or these…
Left to Right: 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Knit Tunic Mini Dress, $230, www.net-a-porter.com; Benny B Dress, $398, www.searlenyc.com.
Layer on some necklaces:
Left to Right: Juicy Couture ‘Juicy Hearts’ Layered Necklaces, $95, www.nordstrom.com; Layered Snake Necklace, $34, www.urbanout.com; Nola Singer Triple Strand Necklace, $322, www.lisakline.com.
And tie on a pair of gladiator flats. They’re a bit out of season, so I found these Tyler by Richard Tyler Willing Sandals…
….for only $27 at www.piperlime.com!
Next, we have a boy reader! We have a boy reader! Dontal from ATL says, “The holiday season is approaching very fast and I can’t wait to see my family for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I live in Atlanta now and my family lives in Chicago and I know I’ll need a sweater for my return home. Could you PLEASE help me find the sweater that David Beckham has on?” The terns and I searched, and ultimately found that Mr. Posh is wearing this Yves Saint Laurent sweater… …from the Spring 2006 collection.
I assume it’s no longer available in stores, so I found a few options for you.
This Chunky Zip Sweater by Brunelo Cucinelli has the same effect and a similar light color…. …but at $1,585, the sweater is in a word, ridiculous!
This $375 Vince Chunky Intarsia Cardigan is a bit more affordable, and I think it captures the essence of the Beckham sweater… …if you don’t mind the color difference, it could work. This Diesel sweater could also work…. …and is a wee bit more affordable at $290.
Good luck braving that Chicago weather!
Next up reader Latrice says, “Can you tell me where I can get the boots Kelis is wearing…” “…or a pair similar?”
Hey Latrice! They’re a bit hard to see, but I think you’re going for a gray patent or gray leather boot. Try these on for size:
Left to Right: Juicy Couture Ezra Tall Boot, $450, www.neimanmarcus.com; Without a Cause Cross Strap Boot, $80, www.urbanout.com; Bottega Veneta Patent Knee Boot, $990, www.barneys.com.
Next up, Britney Spears doesn’t quite fit with the Fashion Bomb, which is why I paused when reader Lindsay wrote, “I so need this dress in my life…” “…can you tell me who makes it?”
Ok, ok, I figured that Ms. Spears is going through it right now with her babies, mama, and life drama, so I’d show her a little love. I found a very ‘Britney-esque’ dress… ….and surprisingly (or not) this sheer matte jersery number is a very affordable $64 at Rampage.com.
Next, reader Jennifer wrote me an e-mail, subject “Big girl’s need skinny jeans too!” She says, “I really need to find some skinny jeans in a size 16, and I’m a college student so sadly money is an issue (LOL)! But I have seen in the past that you look out for us big girls so please pretty please let me know if you find anything!!“
Of course!
These Calvin Klein Skinny Stretch Jeans… …are $79.50 at www.nordstrom.com.
These Gap skinny jeans… …come in several washes and go up to a size 20. They’re only $59.50 at www.gap.com.
And Elita also found that these Levis Skinny Jeans come in a size 16…. …and they’re also an affordable $58 at www.levis.com.
Lastly, reader Sonia wrote in saying “So I have fallen head over heels with none other than a pair of Christian Louboutin’s…the Mesh Mary Jane!”…
“…Have you seen any shoe that is similar in look and less threatening to my wallet? I have been calculating how to get this shoe…it’s not adding up!“
You have great taste, Sonia! That shoe is fierce, but I agree, at $820, the price is a bit exorbitant. While you can’t find such exquisite craftmanship at a lower price point, intern Elita did find a few options for you that’ll give you a Mary Jane feel:
Left to Right: Steven Vyxen Mary Janes, $123, www.zappos.com; Manolo Blahnik Satin Mary Jane, $545, www.neimanmarcus.com; Charles by Charles David Brava Peep Toe Mary Jane, $135, www.endless.com.
If anything those can hold you over while you save for the real deal.
There were a ton more Mail Bombs that I have answers for, but I just couldn’t find time to write ’em up! Stay tuned next week…if I haven’t answered yet, know that the interns and I are working on it!
Have great weekends…

The crowd was packed beyond capacity…. …and a good number of celebs were hangin’ in VIP.
Janet Jackson was in the house with her boo Jermaine Dupri… Both looked fall ready, Jermaine in a multicolored sweatshirt, and Janet in a velvet belted trench and scarf (worn over a wife beater and jeans).
Mr. Lova Lova Shaggy also made an appearnance… …loungin hard in a leather jacket, t-shirt, and dark jeans.
America’s Next Top Model reps Nigel Barker… and Caridee… …lit up the red carpet. I’m kinda feeling the color in Caridee’s dress. And peep her shoes! They seemed to be patent leather white spectator shoes. Work it!
The highlight of the night, of course, was a performance by Kanye West. I got a few personal pics… He was so close, it was like he was rapping directly to me! …I fell in love with his Louis Vuitton baseball jacket, sweater, and dress pants. And the glasses were a nice touch.
Swizz Beatz also came on towards the end to bless the mic… …he was sporting a Gucci baseball jacket. I smell a trend…
It was fun, but you’re probably asking: What does this have to do with fashion, Claire?
Nothing! It’s just my way of explaining why I don’t have a post today! But I’ll bring it back tenfold tomorrow with tons of mail bombs:)

PS Venus Williams blogs from Tokyo…and she’s pretty funny! An excerpt:
Tonight I went to the player party, which was fun. I may have let myself down a little bit, because I immediately rushed to the french fries. I just went right to them. I don’t really eat much, so fries count as a carbohydrate! Boiled or fried, the only thing that matters is that I’m eating. I eat to live, not live to eat. And they were so nice and salty. Okay I did have other things like fish and whatever else I had on my plate – but those fries would have gotten cold if I didn’t take them – and even as they got us to do this thing where we hit a barrel with saki in it, all I could think of was the fries getting cold. I know I made the right decision. Read more here.

Hey, Hey!
So today’s Style File shines a spotlight on actress, singer, and Puerto Rican spitfire…
…Jennifer Lopez.
Pregnant or not, this former Fly Girl has had the style game on lock for a long time.
Let take a look:
When J. Lo goes glam, she amps it up all the way in floor length gowns in skin flattering champagne or gold…
…at times opting for a more traditional white or black. …always with minimalist accessories like small clutches and dainty necklaces.
No stranger to shorter frocks, you’ll catch J. Lo flaunting her well toned shoulders and legs in thigh skimming dresses in eye catching red tones…
Cool Greens…
Grays….
Or shimmery black… …worn with stilettos or boots.
Madame Mark Anthony is also a fan of menswear inspired ‘fits, donning pants on occasion in wide leg styles… …paired with flirty tops, jackets, or vests.
She’s also a fan of rocking signature headpieces…
…and can work the snuff out of a pair of over the knee black boots…
Hot.

…“When you start to dream and see yourself in a better place, don’t share it with everybody. Long ago I stopped telling people my dreams because I would always run into dream stealers–people who are so miserable and so mad at the world that all they can do is bring you bitter words of hopelessness.
