How Do You Wear It? Readers’ Costume Submissions for Halloween 2017!

It’s Halloween!  Just in case you are from another planet and unsure of what this holiday entails, let us help by referencing the most precise and humorous description of this fete.  “In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.” – Cady, Mean Girls.  To add to that perfect summary, Halloween is also that time of the year where our readers get super creative with their costumes which in turn has us totally entertained.  Are you ready for what our readers have in store for Halloween 2017?  Let’s get into these costumes below.

 

 

Now here’s to thinking outside the box!  @asiadoll91, @liv3lov3lizz, @maroxby, @killin_beesjr, and @littlestsulmers nailed it as the East Compton Clovers from the movie Bring It On.

Gabrielle, @artiste_gabrielle, participated in Halloween as a Zombie French Maid.  Creative!

Karla, @theo_dores, and her husband were on point in their Frankenstein Monster and Bride of Frankenstein costumes.  Wow!

@d_almondjoy was inspired by Sza for Halloween.  This is a good one!

Fresh to death!  Terin, @divad1, totally showed us that being dead won’t keep her from being fly.  She participated in the Halloween festivities as a Glam Mummy.  Love it!

The Streeter Family has stolen my heart. Adria, @adriastreeter, and her clan channeled Grease Lighting for Halloween.  Adorable!

Power to the People!  Sasha, @jackgunz_, and her crew stayed woke for Halloween as Black Panther Activists.  I’m down!

 

As If!  Tajma and her friend mimicked Cher and Dionne from the classic 90’s movie, Clueless.  Totally rad!

Anything for Selenas!  Reader Jasmin Foote created her own Selena costume for Halloween, and I must say she did an excellent job!

Oh this one took me back!  Ellisha, @llishababe, literally morphed into Denise Huxtable for Halloween.  I had to do a double take with this one!

Nayhiba, @nayhiba, gave most Halloween costumers a run for their money in this Rhianna-inspired, Met Gala look.  This is definitely on another level!

Wouldn’t you agree that our readers rocked Halloween 2017?!  Which costume was your favorite?  Check out our gallery to view more!

    How Do You Wear It? Fall 2017’s White Boots Trend

    White after Labor Day?  Don’t mind if we do!  Reminiscent of the 60s monochromatic look, the white boot is a refined throwback that is making its way back to the top of the style charts.  This fad has been spotted on celebrities like Rihanna, Kourtney Kardashian, and Cardi B to name a few. However, the Fashion Bomb team wants to see how our readers are sporting this look.

    We did a call, and the fashion bombshells definitely answered.  Get into the white boot craze below!

    Simple and chic is the route Shola Shodipo @thefreestyller chose for her white boots.  Her black blazer and white turtleneck allows her white booties pop!

    Palesa Molikeng @otc_styles kept it classic by pairing her white booties with a denim jumpsuit.

    Dr. Keena Blackmon @thesportsfashionista made two fashion statements – one with her patterned coat and one with her white booties.  Sophisticated!

    Daria @daria_classyandfabulous gave her white booties some fringe benefits!  Her fun jacket and hat jazzed her white boots up even more!

    Denim always works with white booties and Keshia Armstrong @keepstyleaffordable definitely knows this.  It gives the boots a crisp, clean look.

    White boots + metallic?  Why not!  Kolena Maxwell @iamkolena chose spunk as she paired her white + black tip boots with her silver mini skirt.

    Lisa Torres @princessleese opted for an eclectic fashion vibe by pairing her white booties with a patterned midi skirt, Mickey Mouse t-shirt, and black leather bomber jacket.  Creative!

    I am totally digging the variations of these white boot looks!  I absolutely have to add white boots to my shopping list immediately!  Which bombshell caught your fashion eye with her white boot ensemble?

    Man Crush Monday #MCM: August Alsina

    You would think that this 25-year-old soulful singer and New Orleans native, August Alsina has been in the music industry for some time, but no, he’s just getting warmed up. With only being signed to Def Jam Records for two years, it’s hard to believe that his credibility as an artist has skyrocketed to the level it has. With his unique style, one can’t help but delve into the looks of this handsome man with the stunning smile. His admirable persona has even lead him to become a close family friend to some of the top legends in the entertainment industry (namely Will and Jada Pinkett Smith) as he’s always seen spending quality time with the Smith family. Armed with an unwavering confidence and a vibrant southern swag, it’s only fitting that August be named our Man Crush of the Day.

    His pride in his individuality allows him to be adventurous with his natural hair. Fans have sometimes “Hmm’ed…” at his choices of varied hairstyles. He has laid edges, braids, twitsts, rocked both short and long  ‘dos, and even a perm.

    Also noteworthy in his hairstyle arsenal, would be is once signature man-bun. He rocked that with the fierceness!

    Alsina’s style is underrated. He has a very suave Japanese street style that separates him sartorially from most artists. He is comfortable with his image and is emboldened by his signature fashion forwardness.

    One of the singer’s other signature looks is his headgear, specifically head wraps. He wears it typically tied to the side with his neatly laid hair to complete his looks.

    Alsina loves to finish off his ‘fit with outer layer pieces including trench coats, bomber jackets and more.

    Prints are a big deal to this crooner and he shows a great affinity for those that embody sleek and graphic prints. He’s been seen in many bold and vibrant ensembles that include jacquard to color block, florals and more.

    This stunner loves a variety of sunglasses. He’s even signed a collection deal with A.D.S.R.

    He looks great in ever pair!

    Check out more looks from the handsome Alsina below!

    Gotta love August Alsina for his originiality! Check out more images in the gallery!
