There is nothing better than showing off a fresh pedi with a sexy pair of multi-strap heels.
Louis Vuitton is renowned for its’ logo love. Many of the designers’ Bomb Accessories are emblazoned with the iconic LV pattern with flower shapes -identifiable a mile off.
The brand’s latest drop sees a more subtle approach to the logo pattern. The Citizen sandal uses contrasting mini logo and emblems decorated along the thin satin straps. A square toe style but with a pointed toe slant, it follows the natural shape of the foot which make it perfect for those Bombshells that find a square toe too harsh. Available in 3 heel heights, a 2.2 inch kitten heel, a 3.9 inch heel and a flat sandal.
The 22 year old beauty wore a tangerine orange animal print two piece body con set by contemporary fashion designer Maisie Wilen.

In our series, Tales from Retail, we will be speaking to those who work in fashion to see how the CoronaVirus has impacted their livelihood:
Andrea Welch, 34. Visual Merchandising Manager, Macy’s.
She says, “When I started in 2008, retail was definitely booming. I went to Berkeley for fashion merchandising and management, and wanted to grow with a company. Macy’s has been a household name in my house for years.”
“I knew [lay offs were] going to happen. I love retail. My heart has always been with connecting with people and having that one-on-one experience. The brick-n-mortar experience in changing. In the future, there will still be stores around, but not as many.”
“I’m a single mother, I have a mortgage. I have to think about what can keep me afloat. Everything is happening really fast. I haven’t really thought about what my next step is. I’m on unemployment right now. My mortgage is being deferred. I think everyone in the retail environment is in a weird place. Macy’s has been pretty good to me. I don’t know what to do.”
Danishia Green, 28 years old. Assistant Operational Manager, JC Penney.
She says, “On Tuesday, 85,000 people were furloughed. It was bound to happen. “
“As a manager, I’ve had to explain to my associates that they no longer have their jobs. It’s been very uncomfortable. [I’m always scared that they will have more questions] that I don’t have the answer to.”
“The positive part of it is that I’m still alive and I haven’t been affected. I’ve never been unemplyed. Learning how to file for unemployment [has been a humbling experience]. Thankfully I have savings. It affected me in a different way, but I’m trying to be as positive as possible.”
“I love my job and I have a great deal of respect for my job. [I encourage my fellow retail workers to] continue to stay positive. We are all in this together. It’s a lot of us, thousands of us who are unemployed. You are not alone and we’re doing this together. “
Eric Curiel, 30 years old. Visual Stylist, Neiman Marcus.
He says, “For right now, we are covered for another month. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens to us too.”
“I am originally from the Dominican Republic. I’ve been doing retail for 7 years. I started in commercial retail and then progressed into luxury retail. Most of our customers shop online, but we still have dedicated customers who enjoy the experience of shopping at our store, and being able to see the product. I’m afraid with the changes in the economy with Covid 19, people are going to be more cautious with their finances and more skeptical of spending money, causing sales to drop. Hopefully we can overcome that.”
Today’s bombshell of the day feature goes to Tee, @ts.styled from Texas! She writes, ” I inherited my love for style from my dad. My style is versatile and I’ve been putting more effort into showcasing that. For the longest time, I would save outfits for certain days or events in fear of wasting a look. Then last year I had to tell myself, the fact that I’m alive is enough reason to look my best every single day. Life is the event and even the grocery store can be your runway.”
She says, “I typically shop at small black owned businesses and popular affordable boutiques to show people you don’t need expensive labels to slay a look. I love dressing my daughter and I alike. I can already tell she’s going to love clothes as much as I do by how she looks in the mirror after getting dressed. Style isn’t just about looking good but feeling good as well.“

The hottest shoe style of the season has been given a sparkling makeover.
It is no secret that the mule has been making waves for the past few Spring/Summer seasons. High heel, low heel, colorful, patterned, pointed, square – we have seen them all.
For added look-at-me status, these rhinestone covered mules from e-commerce site ZCRAVE are perfect. Complete with a decorative bow and sleek pointed toe shape, the comfortable looking style would be the ideal finisher to any outfit. Whether you pair them with a pair of jeans and your favorite summer top for a casual brunch look or with a sexy leg-baring dress for an effortless date night ‘fit.
Currently in the sale for $282 (originally $564), the shoes are available in silver, green, blue, red or black.
High-end jewelry is a big investment for most people. The average engagement ring costs around $6,000, which is often two to three month’s worth of paychecks. However, one company has begun making waves with lower cost, high-quality jewelry sold solely online. James Allen is a company under Signet jewelers operating exclusively virtually.
As of 2017, James Allen is one of the top online jewelry stores, yet they still offer lower costs and higher selection than their competitors. Today, we’re going to explore how James Allen consistently sets an example for low prices and great service that other companies are rushing to emulate.
Sales Tax
First and foremost, because James Allen is an online retailer, their sales tax policies are a little different than a brick-and-mortar store. Not only can they vary the sales tax charged according to state, but they can also forgo sales tax altogether. Sales tax may seem like a small charge, but when you consider the price of an expensive piece of jewelry with an added 8% sales tax, the price can increase quickly.
As of now, there are 16 states where James Allen does not charge sales tax, but you can check their FAQ section to check if sales tax is charged where you live. In any case where you’re buying an expensive purchase online, be sure to check the sales tax policy to make sure that you know what you’re paying for.
Should you buy a lab-grown diamond?
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are manufactured by humans, made by placing a small piece of a diamond into a chamber with carbon-hydrogen, which will replicate the structure of a real diamond after it is left to grow for a month. These lab-grown diamonds cost 30% less than a natural diamond of a similar size, making them perfect for diamond hunters on a budget.
James Allen offers lab-grown diamonds in the same settings as all of their regular diamonds. So if a customer wants an immediately lower price for the same setting and the same quality of a diamond, a lab-grown diamond is a way to go. James Allen continually sets the standard by offering the same options for both natural and lab-made diamonds.
Online Business Model
The online business model offers a much tighter margin for a customer in any market. No inventory, salespeople, physical stores, and maintenance makes for far lower prices than an in-person store. The same rings true for James Allen, who offers the same diamonds for far lower prices than a typical jewelry store. In comparison to their fellow online jewelers, James Allen still offers pretty competitive pricing.
In addition to a lower margin, online jewelry stores, in general, provide a much better atmosphere for customers. If you have ever been inside a regular jewelry store, you know that salespeople are pushy, convincing you to buy expensive jewelry that you can’t afford or don’t want. Online suppliers offer a buying experience where the buyer can browse slowly, cross-reference information, and even wait on buying a product for months at a time.
Price Matching
James Allen has consistently stayed on the more modest side of price, but one factor that more jewelers should implement is price matching. If a consumer finds a similar diamond or piece of jewelry for a lower price from another store, you can send the information to James Allen and they will match the price for you.
This is similar to a big box store’s policies on groceries or other small items, but the fact that James Allen does this with diamonds is ground-breaking. With this policy, a consumer can be sure that they’re getting the absolute best price on a diamond, no matter the source. It will be interesting to see if other jewelers begin implementing this, and how the price of diamonds will be affected in the future.
James Allen offers lower prices than not only in-person showrooms but several of their online competitors. In the future, it will be interesting to see how other jewelry stores implement the policies that have worked for James Allen. The era of technology has improved jewelry buying exponentially, and James Allen is leading on that front.

Colorful croc boots that you will want to wear all year round.
Italian shoe brand Paris Texas launched just 5 years ago in 2015. Since then this brand has gone from strength to strength. With fans such as Emily Ratajkowski, Tracee Ellis-Ross and Kendall Jenner all rocking multiple styles from the designer, you can see how they have gained popularity so quickly.
Inspired by Paris and Texas (which is how the name was born) and known best for their killer boots, Paris Texas has something for all Bombshells. Whether you like a thick or thin heel, snake skin or croc, there is a new wear-all-the-time boot for you.
With summer just around the corner, we find ourselves being drawn to vibrant color. Paris Texas’s Coconut Print Boot (although it is crocodile) come in a whole host of colors from timeless classics such as chocolate brown, nude, navy but also is brighter colors such as red, green, pink and orange. They have even designed a bomb camo/croc combo version all starting from $675.
