Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Sarah from Nigeria

Happy Tuesday!

 

Today’s Bombshell is Sasha from Nigeria.

She writes, “I describe my style as modest, classy with retro feels.”

“I take a lot of inspiration from different eras and 90’s sitcoms like a different World, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, etc. I love all things retro looking and that means scarfs, prints, and lots more prints.”

“I believe one can be fully covered but still fly always.”

Man Crush Monday #MCM: Odell Beckham Jr.

New crush alert! NFL player Odell Cornelious Beckham Jr. is one hunk we have our eye on this Monday. This 25-year-old from Baton Rouge, LA is steady breaking records since he was first picked up from the New York Giants as their wide receiver. He became Rookie of the Year in 2014 and continues to wow his fans and critics. But let’s get into this young gentleman who is blossoming into a fashion bomber day by day and his fresh eye-candy looks!

Odell certainly knows a thing or two about fashion. He’s produced a capsule collection with Bloomingdales, has a signed contract with Nike and has made several appearances during fashion week.

This athlete is all about trends. From his luxurious platinum blonde locks to him nearly sporting the entire Supreme x LV collection, yet he adds his own twist of fashion forwardness to it.

His looks remain sporty, yet bold as we can tell he loves incorporating athletic wear with unique prints, detailing and destructive pieces.

Don’t let the urban streetwear fool you because he can keep it dapper too. He is optimistic with wearing ensembles that aren’t super masculine, like velvet button-downs and sherpa coats. Also, tailored looks is a must for him to help show off his sporty figure.

 

Keepin’ it flossy! Odell loves a good luxury duffle bag to help him travel in style.

2017 Beauty Trend: Bob Styles

Many hairstyles come and go, yet bob styles seem to never fully fade. 2017 became the year for celebrities to be bold and beautiful in many unique bob styles. From edgy blunt looks to the sophisticated curly bob, stars showed up and showed out with this hair trend!

 

  1. The Blunt Bob

 

The blunt bob is one fresh and edgy style embraced by celebrities like Keyshia Ka’oir, Kim Kardashian, and more. Go for traditional, or opt for bold to keep people guessing.

 

2. The Lob cut

Lob cuts are for the ladies who aren’t fully committed to going too short. If you love to swing your hair back and forth, but still want to opt for a new look, look to stars like Khloe Kardashian and Joan Smalls who played this soft and chic coiffure.

3. The Pixie-Bob

Retro vibes, anyone? The pixie-bob is a short cut with little to lots of definition. Slice it into layers, and add more flavor with a slight bump on the ends. Celebrities like Teyana Taylor and Kelly Rowland worked this hairstyle to the hilt.

4. The Tousled/Layered Bob

Celebrities like Rihanna, Ciara, Selena Gomez and more loved the layered/touseled bob cut. This style features heavy layers that create a wavy appeal (so you almost look like you just rolled out of bed). Nonetheless, it’s sexy and very modern!

5. The Curly Bob

You can never have too many curls! Celebrities like Zendaya, Tammy Rivera, Shaunie O’Neal and more worked this uber feminine style well. Supremely chic, it adds class to almost any look.

And there you have it! Bob are extremely versatile–which probably is why the trend has stood strong all year long. So strong, even fashionistas and bloggers joined the wave! See even more bob moments in the gallery above.

The Fab List: 10 Fashionable Tots You Should Follow On Instagram

Oh so you think you know fashion huh?  Well think again!  When it comes to slaying these days, the babies are showing up and showing out!  From Gucci looks to oversized faux furs, these children are giving the ‘Gram life!  For a dose of some funky style and a load of cuteness, check out the 10 fashionable tots you should be stalking on social media below!  Warning:  If you love kids, your ovaries may jump up and down when viewing these little cute creatures.

  1.  Coco

Coco can’t be stop with her tomboy chic looks and vintage swag.  This little diva dresses better than half the adults I know….including me!

2.  Riley

If kidnapping wasn’t illegal I would have abducted this tot months ago!  How can someone 3ft tall make oversize look so faddish?  I would not be surprised if Riley is the editor of some fashion magazine in 2050.

3.  North West

Okay so North West may not have an official Instagram page, but we couldn’t make a list of fashionable kids without including the fur donning princess, right?  When it comes to fashion, North has been there and done that.  An elaborate coat, a slip dress, or some unreleased Yeezy’s is nothing to this lad.  Her minimal yet funky style is always on point.  Who owns a freaking Tupac t-shirt dress before the age of 19?? North does.

4.  Iman Shumpert

Taking a page out of her mother’s (Teyanna Taylor) style book, Baby Junie always brings it when she steps on the scene.  Depending on her mood when she wakes up, you can either catch her in a blue jean coat lined with faux fur or some Dr Martens and a velvet t-shirt.  Side note – I just purchased my first pair of Dr Martens, and I’m grown with bills.

5.  Asahd Khaled

The little fellow above was royalty as soon as he came out of his mother’s womb.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he left the hospital in Gucci slippers and a robe to match.  The clothes Asahd wears can definitely be seen on any grown man.  Animal print onesies have no place in this tot’s closet.

6.  Laiyah Brown

Train up a child in the way she should go – fashionably.  Laiyah always keeps a big smile on her face and designer wear on her body.  Although she can stand on her own when it comes to taking a dope picture, my favorites are the ones she’s slaying in with her mother.

7.  Zuri

Ever thought you’d be taking fashion tips from a kid?  Me either.  But I will definitely be taking some from Miss Zuri.  Not only does she know how to rock a simple outfit in a jazzy way, she also knows how to pose in that outfit when taking pictures!  I am so in love!

8.  Blue Ivy

What’s an article on fashionable kids without including the daughter of the Queen?  Miss Blue Ivy’s dresses cost more than my entire life!  Although she sports big labels like Gucci, her attire is never over-the-top and is always age appropriate.

9.  Ethan

Gentlemen, take a note out of Ethan’s style book.  From pretty boy to avant garde to hip hop, his versatile fashion looks are on point.

10. Kaui

I’m sure Kaui is the topic of discussion at all the birthday parties and play dates.  She’s the princess of mixing looks and topping them off with a messy bun.  Too cute for words!

There you have it, 10 reasons why I need to elevate my style game.  If you want to see more fashionable kids, follow our @fashionbombkids Instagram page.  Which tot’s style is your favorite?

Gucci and Dapper Dan Unveil Studio Atelier in Harlem

Gucci and Dapper Dan have unveiled a studio atelier in Harlem, an homage to the couturier’s original shop, Dapper Dan’s Boutique, with a contemporary interpretation for a new generation.

Twenty-five years after the closing of Dapper Dan’s Boutique in 1992, the new atelier will offer clients the opportunity to have bespoke Dapper Dan of Harlem garments made for them by Dapper ‘Dap’ Dan, using Gucci raw materials, fabrics, prints, embroidered patches and hardware.

The custom-made pieces will be available exclusively at the new atelier on Lenox Avenue close to the original location, which will be open “by appointment only” from January 2018.

Words can’t describe how excited I am for Dapper Dan. This is long overdue. Keep the blessings coming, Gucci!
