Sock style booties have been around for a hot minute. The skin-tight style is both feminine and stylish. We’ve seen them rocked with skirts, sweats, dresses, jeans, you name it!
So, it is only right that our favourite monogram loving designer Louis Vuitton add their spin to the iconic boot. The designer’s Matchmake boot combines the classic LV print with the sleek design of a pointed cotton bootie. Sometimes less is more, and that couldn’t be more true in this case with just a touch of the print on the heel adding to this shoe’s elegance.
These beauties do come with an ‘investment piece’ type of price tag of $1,240. Would you splurge on them?
We are always on the lookout for new designers! We are excited to introduce you to Shan Latris:
Shan Latris, writes, “I’m a southern girl from Tuscaloosa, Alabama where I graduated from The University of Alabama with a degree in Apparel Design. Although I was always some sort of an artist dabbling in everything from painting to dance and theater, I come from a family of ministers and healthcare professionals. My family background, in addition to being from a little town in Alabama, definitely made me the odd ball. For me, it took a high level of bravery and faith to pursue a degree in fashion. Especially because at that time, it wasn’t so popular and accepted. It was seen as a “fantasy” career. The blessing was that my Mother was always supportive of that choice and allowed me the freedom to pursue it.”
She continues, “I was inspired by Tina Knowles-Lawson to sketch designs around 6th grade. Being able to create in my own way without boundaries was heavily instilled by adulthood. When I finally learned to sew much later in life, I was excited to start servicing clients. However, as MANY designers have witnessed, everyone wanted me to create what they saw their favorite celebrity wear. I’d receive social media images they found of clothing, magazine covers, or even something they saw on Fashion Bomb Daily. It took all the fun out of it for me and my dreams began to feel like a dreadful job. Then I received the worst advice ever, “This is how the industry is now. You need to give up this idea of having your own label. No one will buy it because they want what they want. Just give the people what they want.” I assumed that was the right way now since I was a rookie in the industry and saw it done everywhere. I decided to just do what people asked for and started a website. I soon learned that, that was not the way to go and not something I had to accept. I was miserable because I was being controlled creatively by customers. So many designers have to deal with that starting out, but I decided I’d rather not be in the industry than to get stuck in that new way of doing things. So, I recently took my chances with launching Shan Latris with the Genesis colection in hopes that people would like what I had to offer. “
She continues, “My last collection was inspired by the places I’ve been or wanted to go and that lead me to connecting with people from those places. From that experience, I realized that there truly is no place like home. It made me value my southern roots and upbringing more. Therefore, I decided my next collection would be all about my home in the good ole’ south! With the definition of Genesis including words like the beginning, creation, and home, I knew it was meant to be the collection’s name. “
“A lot of people have asked how I knew houndstooth print was going to be popular this fall season and the truth is that I didn’t. With my hometown and alma mater being the home of the Crimson Tide Football team, houndstooth is ALWAYS in demand because it represents our team. It just made perfect sense for a collection being inspired by my city to feature houndstooth and crimson color pieces. It just so happened that the print is a timeless and fashionable print! Otherwise I wouldn’t have used it LOL! .”
“[When Claire wore my line] the feedback was great! I didn’t realize the look was posted until people started saying they saw my work on Fashion Bomb Daily. In addition, my notifications were coming in every second. I gained over 200 new followers overnight with most being added within an hour of the post. I was happy that people liked my work enough to want to continue on the journey with me because I’ve worked myself into exhaustion (literally) to pursue fashion for nearly a decade.”
” Despite all the hard work and self-investing, I was never able to get the type of opportunities needed to help me grow. It was just never my moment until now. The engagement on the FBD and Claire Sulmers Instagram was also really good. It was helpful to have my work shared with so many opinionated people because it’s good research, honestly. Everyone seemed to love the look because it received over 10,400 likes on the @ClaireSulmers Instagram page alone. I’m super grateful for the opportunity to finally get to share my work with the world. I highly commend Fashion Bomb Daily for creating this opportunity for designers, especially brown girls like myself, to have a space on an amazing platform.”
It is our sincere pleasure!

Yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure of attending a taping of the Tamron Hall Show!
After ten years at the Today Show, Tamron Hall has stepped out with her own show! The audience was packed with enthusiastic guests from Atlanta, Baltimore, Connecticut, and Canada, from various backgrounds, ages, and spaces! The group to my right was in town celebrating a friend’s birthday, while the pair to my left were on an adorable mother/son date. Audience members all over were fly, fresh, and fashionable!
The show’s topics were just as diverse as the audience! Tamron kicked off the proceedings with a discussion on the impending controversial execution of Rodney Reed, then went on to discuss the book Fair Play by Eve Rodsky, which touches on the sometimes imbalanced division of household duties in couples. The show ended with a fun fashion segment featuring Andre Leon Talley!
Tamron Hall and Andre Leon Talley are longtime friends, so discussed their tight bond, and the importance of dressing to feel confident and comfortable! Mr. Talley also discussed how important it was for him to bring younger people up in the industry (Tamron shared a story of how he once brought a young man who didn’t have an invitation into a high wattage industry event). Tamron shares Andre’s generous predilections, as she decided to wear and showcase independent designers like Denzel Parris, Kidde Itto, and Kelsey Randall all week!
Tamron was so lovely! And I loved her Kidde Itto ensemble.
Check out The Tamron Hall show today (check your local listings to see where it comes on in your town). And if you want to be a VIP guest next time you’re in New York City, visit TamronHallShow.com for information.
I came away from the experience feeling empowered, inspired, and educated on a range of topics. And everyone in the audience left with a copy of Fair Play to take home!
A certified stunner, Kerry Washington is simply breathtaking on and off the big screen! For Kerry’s appearance on The Ellen Show to discuss her new Netflix film American Son, her stylist Joseph Cassell styled her in a fun and flirty look by Zimmerman. And best believe she served!
Let’s get into that bold red color that compliments her skin, and the touch of an edgy Victorian styling of a clinched waste that’s clean cut and fresh. Zimmerman, known for their sweet floral patterns, ruffles and free flowing material, makes such effortless look that pegs you to believe it made for those who are wearing it. Much like Kerry! She showed off those stellar legs in a pair of nude Jimmy Choos, with minimal jewelry and a curly ‘do to complete her look. It’s safe to say this look is a go! What say you?
