Posted by The Fashion Bomb Staff

As we approach the last quarter of the year, it seems that many celebs did some soul-searching and have realized that they are ready to settle down, leading them to propose to the partners. Let’s take a look at the engaged couples and their engagement rings:

Liam Payne and Maya Henry

“Massive” is an understatement when describing the diamond ring that Liam Payne used to propose to his model-girlfriend, Maya Henry. A few weeks ago, the couple was spotted in London, where Henry was wearing the huge piece of bling. By the looks of it, Payne proposed with either a radiant or cushion cut diamond, with 20 carats, valued at close to $4 million. 

Max Ehrich and Demi Lovato

Unlike Payne and Henry, Demi Lovato and boyfriend Max Ehrich announced their engagement via their Instagram pages, and their posts gave us a glimpse into Lovato’s exquisite ring. Her boyfriend took the time to design the engagement ring, made from an emerald cut set in platinum with small trapezoid diamonds. It is said to cost between $2.5 million and $5 million. 

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz

Brooklyn Beckham also took to Instagram to announce his engagement to Nicola Peltz. Beckham reportedly designed the ring, which features a classic solitaire emerald-cut diamond set on either platinum or white gold band. This engagement ring style is a popular choice among celebrities like Jennifer Lopez for its clean lines and simplicity. 

Steve Kazee and Jenna Dewan

It seems that Jenna Dewan is ready to settle down again after she said yes to her boyfriend, Steve Kazee, while she was pregnant with their first child together. According to this Instagram post, Kazee shared that he designed the engagement ring together with Nikki Reed to come up with a solitaire ring that perfectly embodies Dewan’s personality and character. According to jewelry experts, the ring’s center stone features 3.5 to 4 carats and was set on a gold band. Depending on the gemstone’s characteristics, the ring’s value ranges from $50,000 to $80,000. 

Mike Barrett and Anna Faris

Unlike the other couples, Mike Barrett and Anna Faris announced their engagement before lockdown orders. Faris showed off her yellow cushion-cut diamond with a halo set on either a gold or platinum diamond-encrusted band with a subtle split shank. According to experts, the ring has a value of between $25,000 and $50,000. Such colored rings are popular nowadays, as seen on Blake Lively and Katy Perry.

Jordan McGraw and Morgan Stewart

The Rich Kids of Beverly Hills star, Morgan Stewart, surprised many when she brandished her engagement ring from her current beau, Jordan McGraw, while celebrating the Fourth of July. The ring is an elongated diamond set on a yellow gold band, which, according to experts, has an estimated value of $60,000 to as much as $100,000. 

Connor McGregor and Dee Devlin

Another couple caught by the love bug is former UFC champ, Connor McGregor and longtime partner, Dee Devlin. McGregor took to Instagram to share their photo that captured their broad smiles and huge bling. The massive ring seems to be an elongated diamond with a 7 carat stone and a price tag of about $100,000 or more. 

While these celebrities will often spend thousands of dollars to pop the question, average folks can still impress their partners. All they need is an engagement ring that’s just as exquisite but not as expensive by going for sustainable and ethically sourced rings like those offered by Love & Promise Jewelers. In the end, the price tag doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you get to spend your life with your soulmate.

Kim has changed stylists and eras over the years, but always staying true to her favorite features in clothing: sexy and luxurious.

One of the greatest influencers to Kim Kardashian style and its evolution is her husband Kanye West. When they started dating in 2011, Kim’s style started to focus more on couture and luxury brands: Balmain, Givenchy, Lanvin, Roberto Cavalli are some of the names that come to mind.

Just in, Pyer Moss designer Kerby Jean-Raymond and French luxury goods company Kering just announced the launch of “Your Friends in New York”, a new platform where creatives in fashion, music, and art come together to incubate and empower their talents as the next generation of innovators.

If you are familiar with Pyer Moss and Kerby Jean-Raymond, the brand’s signature is ‘Your Friends in New York” which can be seen through both Pyer Moss’s and Kerby’s instagram accounts. Set to go public back in March, the announcement of the “Your Friends in New York” initiative was placed on hold as the world was hit with COVOD-19. However, Kerby quickly launched into action by collecting over $78,000 for small, independent businesses affected by the pandemic along with medical equipment for healthcare professionals. Ultimately, Kerby set the tone for the program and continued to uphold the ideals “community” and “innovation” of which Pyer Moss was built on.

Essentially, “You Friends in New York” (YFINY) will serve as a host for the expansion of emerging talents in fashion, music, art, philanthropy and wellness. The platform will have many sectors including an events and experience division, an incubator inspired initiative, philanthropic programs, and a merchandise label.

In a public statement, Kerby Jean-Raymond expresses, “It is important to me to create and work on ventures that are future forward, involve the community at large and that will continue to help others grow in the fashion and art space.“

Chairman and CEO of Kering François-Henri Pinault welcomes the YFINY concept, “When I met Kerby in 2019, I was impressed by his unique perspective of creativity, innovation, business and social issues. What struck me immediately was his willingness to invent a new, singular model, freeing himself from the usual constraints of the fashion system. It was only natural for Kering to support this project that seeks to empower new artistic talents, to encourage the diversity of creativity and to give a voice to the younger generation of innovators.“

You can expect to hear more about “Your Friends in New York” programs in the coming months, but you can follow the @yourfriendsinnewyork on Instagram from updates!

Boutique Spotlight: La Candiee / LaCandie.com Offers Thrift, Consignment, and Original Pieces for the Fashion Forward

Posted by The Fashion Bomb Staff
Posted on

Happy Thursday, Bombers and Bombshells! Today we wanted to introduce you to an LA based boutique you should know: LA Candiee (Los Angeles Candy).

The boutique was founded 4 years ago by Kerriann, a black single mom who is an artist and a librarian. She tells us, “I drove cross country from NY to LA about 10 years ago and never looked back. This store is a love letter to LA, my chosen city. “


She continues, “The company began as a thrift/consignment shop with a lot of its product coming from some of the best vintage/thrift shops in LA. It quickly grew into a boutique that also offers new and original design pieces by myself or from collaborations with local artists. “


Every item in the catalog falls into one of three categories. 

PL: Pre loved are thrift-ed classic and vintage pieces from the best vintage shops in LA.  

FC: Future classics new pieces that will be closet favorites and future vintage pieces. 

OD: Original Design are new pieces created using original artwork by Kerriann or community artists.  

Kerriann says, “I truly believe that good’ fashion can make you simply feel good, even in a simple graphic tee. I also believe that good fashion can be affordable.”

She offers, “Our tagline ‘you should be wearing art’ is a call to action. When someone asks me why not sell plain black cell phone cases instead of ones designed by local artists. My answer is if you just wanted a mass produced item go to a big box seller. We sell art. Every piece is hand selected by me. My main criteria for selection and creation is that it should make you smile when you look at it. “

She says, “Our next big venture are our sunglass line that will be debuting in the next couple of months. “lacandie sunnies” has been a labor of love and has been such a challenge, Living and driving in LA, I quickly realized the importance of a good pair of shades. Our glasses are all polarized and have UV 400 protection. They are the meeting of style and function. “

In conclusion, Kerriann says, “I get inspiration in some unconventional places. I just see beauty everywhere and believe it’s up to us to see the beauty in everyday things. “
