Today’s Bombshell is Denise from London.

She writes, “I would describe my style as both elegant and edgy. I like to make a statement by letting my outfits tell a story.”

“I am inspired heavily by different cultures whether it’s kimonos, capes, turbans or just colours. The originality of traditional looks gives me the ability to create a unique outfit with this in mind.”

“I usually shop at high street stores such as Zara, H&M and Topshop looking for hidden gems. I also shop online at ASOS and Lavish Alice (one of my favorite brands). However, I acquire many of my original pieces from vintage shops or small boutiques.”

Sophia Webster is taking a cue from Rihanna’s playbook—collaborating with athletic wear juggernaut PUMA on a collection of shoes and womenswear pieces. Globally-renowned for her whimsical and eccentric spins on footwear classics, Webster’s collaboration is brimming with her in-your-face, fun-loving designs. With a sporty slant of course.

Webster’s trademark butterfly wing motif is strewn against everything from high-top kicks to mesh leotards, while that athleisure flair really shines through on sport bras, barely-there track shorts, print-inset leggings, and more.

There is even Webster’s own spin on the brand’s popular creeper—in suede with transparent, glitter-flecked soles.

“Partnering with Puma has been fantastic as they allowed me full creative control of all the entire collection of footwear and apparel,” Webster told British Vogue in a recent interview. “So, for me it was my first opportunity to design ready-to-wear and think of how my aesthetic would translate into womenswear. I have loved the challenge.”

The first drop of the collaboration will be up for grabs on September 5th.

Will you be picking anything up from Sophia Webster x PUMA?

YSL’s Runway glitter boots are the stuff dreams are made of. The minute they pounded down the runway, the fashion world knew they were the special IT item of the season. When they finally hit stores, we found out just how special they were! They come with a $10,000 price tag.

Preposterous! Some might say. Ridiculous, others might echo. But fashionistas near and wide have been shelling out a full 10 Gs for the glittering beauts.
Rihanna was one of the first to wear them, keeping her look simple with ripped jeans, a white tee, and a leather jacket.


Celine Dion also embraced the boots for a sweet street style moment, downplaying the shine of the boots with an all black look and a jacket with a subtle crystal collar detail.

Cardi B slipped on the sizzling footwear with a custom Angel Brinks ensemble for a performance at the MTV VMAs.

Blac Chyna was the latest to wear the boots with a custom look by Dare to be Vintage.

All the women are iconic in their own ways in the fashion and/or entertainment industries. And all those women either have enough influence or enough coins to don this modern day Glass Slipper.

The crazy thing is that fashion lovers will try to justify the price. $10,000 could be a down payment on a house or car, feed the homeless, or sit flourishing in a savings account. But fashion might just push you to splurge for that must have item…that might look dated next season.

What do you think? If you could, would you splurge?

Earlier tonight, I went on an Instagram posting spree, scouring the web, as I do, for celeb style moments, and uploading to social media.
It all started with Beyonce, who wore Gucci’s Resort 2018 Dapper Dan inspired jacket to the Made in America Festival.

We followed her post shortly thereafter with her hubby, Jay Z, also at Made in America, in the brand’s $3,750 jacquard parka.

Trina is down in Atlanta for Ludaday Weekend, and wore a $1,080 Gucci web detailed jersey skirt and $520 sequin socks to a bowling event.

Over in LA, 50 Cent celebrated his son Sire’s 5th birthday in a $1,100 Gucci technical jersey jacket, $780 shorts, and $190 flip flops.

And even the kids are getting in on the fun! YFN Lucci’s daughter turned all the way up at a recent concert in a $280 Gucci Girls hooded dress.

Gucci is lapping up all this popularity, seeing a record 50% increase in profits in the past year. While I’m sure they gift Beyonce and Jay Z with exclusive pieces, I’d predict most of the celebs above went to the store and shelled out thousands for the fine frocks.

Gucci has subtly acknowledged the urban community’s embrace, reportedly partnering with Dapper Dan after they were accused of copying his designs, and hiring an all black cast for their Pre-Fall 2017 campaign.
But I think the consumer should take a bit of power in their hands. Take ownership. And make some dividends from this serious Gucci resurgence. Start saving money where you can through side-hustles, using a FragranceX coupon on your next bottle of perfume and eating out less.

Buy a bag, yes, or even an overpriced logo sweatshirt. But own a part of the brand as well.

I remember talking to my father once about my shopping habits. He told me that most companies you love have the option to buy stock. Yes, you can buy a small part of the brand’s you frequent the most.

Looking at how absolutely everyone can’t get enough of Gucci, I’d say buying stock would be some sound financial advice. Get in before the Gucci fever is gone.

*This is purely an opinion piece. I do not profess to be a financial expert in any way.
**Contact a licensed financial advisor and ask them about buying some Gucci stock!
**A Financial Planner @JoselineHernandez360 wrote in on IG, “As you have noted, Gucci is part of the Kering Group. Therefore, you cannot purchase it solo dolo. Because it is a European company, you can purchase the ADR (American Depositary Receipt) OTC (Over the Counter) under the ticker PPRUY. It’s a decent company. Slow and steady. Expect 5 to 6 percent growth over the next two to five years. Not fantastic, but a much better investment than the Gucci handbag.”

Beyonce popped by Cardi B’s performance at the Made in America festival, and posed with the ‘Bodak Yellow” songstress wearing a puff sleeved jacket from Gucci’s Resort 2018 collection:

She further accessorized with a Gucci monogram cap, socks, and the brand’s $850 Yoko Snake Metallic pumps.
The jacket caused a stir as soon as it hit the runway, due to its similarity to a jacket created by Harlem’s legendary Dapper Dan in the 80’s.

Reader were so incensed that it pushed Gucci to formally acknowledge Dapper Dan. Apparently a capsule collection is in the works.

It’s certainly noteworthy that Beyonce is the first celebrity to wear the jacket off the runway. And snaps to Cardi for continuing to kill it (and to Beyonce for showing support).

Our forever First Lady Michelle Obama is living her best life! She was spied boarding a yacht in Spain in a $235 Mara Hoffman Embroidered Cropped Cami and a $195 bird print skirt by the brand.

Vibrant embroidery adds a bright splash of color to this cropped Mara Hoffman camisole.

Her skirt boasts a bird print and two slits.

Sadly, her skirt is sold out, but you can get her top for $95 at Shopbop.com.
She better get it! She looks great!
