Fila, Number (N)ine and mastermind Homme are currently the one’s slaying the mouse game!

This spring, Mickey Mouse’s iconic face has landed on some dope brands, including Coach outlets, an exclusive, limited edition collection that launched in May and just recently ended. But Mickey’s continuing partnerships have embodied the 90’s sporty aesthetic, with Urban Outfitter’s exclusive Fila x Mickey basketball edition, Number (N)ine’s silhouette-styled graphic tees, and mastermind Hommes original Mickey styled hoodies and graphics.

Exclusively through Urban Outfitters, Fila x Disney is a basketball themed mens and women’s duo collection. The long-sleeve graphic above is $44.

 

 

Minnie is also in the mix in most of the womenswear clothing, calling it “Fila + UO/Mickey+Minnie.” The long and short sleeve graphic is $39 and can be purchased on urbanoutfitters.com.

mastermind Homme is giving all types of throwback vibes with their original Mickey Mouse inspired designs that was sold exclusively through The Black Market. There seems to be no more in-stock on the site, but it’s up for resale on eBay from $437-478.

 

 

 

Japanese brand, Number (N)ine introduced the Mickey Mouse “Music Collection.” It taps into a more monochromatic look and silhouette detailing,. This is different from their last collaboration last year, that consisted of hoodies and more color.

 

 

 

The Charcoal colored graphic tee is the only color left in-stock on their website. But you can purchase the all-black version on eBay for $120.

Balenciaga has been doing a lot of experimenting this year with new products. Their newest collab is with Parisian retailer, Colette. From June 19th through August 5th, Balenciaga will take over the retailer’s store, celebrating with some out of the ordinary products for the brand like logoed eye masks, mugs, and on-site nail art activations.

These novelty items will be available exclusively at Colette. In addition to new product, Balenciaga will include an art exhibit as well as free manicures that will replicate nail art from past collection shows. The exclusive sleeping mask and mug will be showcased alongside Balenciaga’s corporate culture inspired fall collection.

One of the most exciting parts of this collaboration might be the digital garment printers. Customers will have the opportunity to personalize t-shirts and hoodies from a selection of designs. Balenciaga is proving it’s innovation with stepping out of their normal box.

What do you think of their novelty items for the Collete collaboration?

Dj Khaled and son Asahd Khaled wore matching baby blue suits for the album cover of the much anticipated Grateful album. He has kept us all on our toes prepping us for the June 23rd release of what is sure to be another winner for the record producer.

Like the saying goes, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. This could not reign more true of the mogul’s parenting style as he has set a strong foundation for his son; providing mirror images that directly reflect him as the King, and Asahd, the heir. The ‘Wild Thoughts’ and ‘Major Key’ covers are the perfect example of such:

Little Asahd sits in a floral adorned throne with a baby lion sitting at the foot, just as his father did below; talk about the perfect contrast.

As they say “Like father, like son”. Asahd is predestined to accomplish great things with a father like Dj Khaled. Here are more matching looks from the father-son duo:

As summer draws nigh, Kylie Jenner Cosmetics has dropped a new limited edition collection, and this time she wants you to bask in some summer vibes with ‘The Vacation Edition.’

Kylie dropped new limited products from Kylie Cosmetics on Thursday at 3pm (PST), and her fans lapped it up, scooping up the most anticipated ones like “The Wet Set” (now sold out with only a few items left available).

The collection glistens in illuminating color palettes that are fresh, cool, and give off a beaming glow that works best for day wear.

Like most of her new collections, she gave a sneak peak through Snapchat to show the world what’s arriving soon.

The “Super Glitter Gloss” bursts with shimmery gold hues.

Her collections, which usually consist of more dark, muted tones, are now switched to more shimmery tones with smooth textures.

“The West Set,” is a pressed shiny powder priced at $65. It’s another easily applicable product, as it has carries a moist texture. She even demonstrated how soft the texture was using one good swipe with her index finger and rubbing it on her models arm as a moisturizing body glitter.

Another, is the “Ultra Glow” which is sold out, came in three shades: “Fiji,” “Santorini,” and “Tahiti.” It’s more of a loose powder base.

And let’s not forget the lip gloss sets called “Send Me More Nudes,” which is still available. Colors in the pack of 6 for $45 carry blush pinks to light brown hues in matte and velvet.

Some fans even splurged to get the “Vacation Edition Bundle” for $250 that includes every bit from the limited collection.

Check out more from the collection below:

These matte lip-gloss colors all have very seductive and flirty names like “Birthday,” “Bare,” “Commando” and “Naked.”

These colors from “Kyshadow” palette are very fun and tropical. Some of the names are “Piña Colado,” “Paradise,” “Starfish,” “Island Girl” and “Sunset.”

Straight from “The Wet Set” palette, here’s a full view of “Get-A-Way,” “Do Not Disturb,” “Privacy Please” and “Unbothered.”

Happy Friday to all you Bombers and Bombshells! It’s Friday and we’re back with another round up of this weeks hottest looks based on your likes on Instagram. You guys never fail to keep us on beat and we love you all the more for it.

Here’s what you guys had to say:

1. Kim Kardashian in John Galliano: 14,498 Likes

Kim’s versatility in style is one to envy; she’s known to break necks in form fitting silhouettes and at the same time knows how to tone it down graciously, as evidenced here. She wore a pristine suit by John Galliano to the Forbes Women’s Summit. Nothing speaks volumes like a woman clad in a power suit. The key to any great suit is fit. The double breasted jacket hit right at the hips, just enough to accentuate her curves. I’m here for this look!

2. Eve in Naeem Khan: 14,337 Likes

Eve and her husband celebrated three years of marriage this week. The couple attended a charity event looking lovely. When you celebrate a wedding anniversary, you do as Eve and remind your man why he got down on bended knee to begin with. She looked vivacious in a Naeem Khan embellished floor length gown.

As if the look weren’t already a showstopper, she took it up a notch and added a pair of luscious pink fur cuffs that brought just the right amount of sass. I can only imagine the gaze on everyone’s face as she dazzled. This right here was worth the double tap!

3. Lala in Burberry: 10,365 Likes

Lala has been bringing her A-game as of late, killing it in her sumptuous looks. This look is no exception. She was spotted out in LA in a sheer blue Burberry lace top paired with a crisp white Nicholas skirt. The sheer top revealed a smidgen of cleavage tucked into a pencil skirt that showed off her lovely curves. The pop of color from her Dior reflective sunnies were the perfect contrast to such a classic cool toned look. Lala has got it going on.

4. Angela Bassett in Black Halo: 9,441 Likes

This ageless beauty can do no wrong in my book. The veteran actress wore a yellow dress by Black Halo to Netflix’s ‘Master of None’ event. She showed off her killer body in the form fitting number with a criss cross detail right at the décolletage giving us sultry vibes. The color of the dress popped against her skin making her radiate in her look. I love how her stylist paired the dress with a pair of Cesare Paciotti’s metallic platform shoes to keep it vibrant. What a stunner!

5. Faith Evans in Coogi: 9,141 Likes

The Queen, Faith Evans, hit the stage at Hot 97’s summer jam wearing a a custom Coogi bustier designed by Next Level. The event celebrated 20 years of Biggie. Biggie had a love for Coogi, dedicating multiple bars to the brand in his hits. It was only right that Faith pay homage to her late husband in his fave. The patterns on the bustier are consistent with the ones from Coogi’s Biggie collection. The look was paired with distressed white denim and Versace white sandals. Faith rocked in this one!

That sums up our top looks for the week. Who do you think had the best look?

 

Happy Friday lovelies!

Today’s Bomber is Adebayo Oke-lawal from Lagos, Nigeria.

 

 

He writes, “My style is very relaxed. I work in the creative industry so I’m not really into clothes that are overtly fussy- I like clothes that feel like you’re not wearing any clothes at all haha – the lighter and softer the better.”

“I wear a lot of made in Nigeria/Africa because well I am a designer and apart from wearing my own brand Orange Culture @orangecultureng I believe in supporting other brands as well within the continent.”

Happy Friday, Bombers and Bombshells!
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Haiti. I was in Cap Haitian for less than 24 hours before zooming off to Port au Prince. JPHRO and the Clinton Foundation graciously invited a group of fashion influencers to give us some background on the country and also introduce us to local artisans, designers, and factory workers.




Y’all know I came ready to stunt! I wanted to wear gowns by Haitian designers and imagined myself teetering on precipitous cliffs in heels (impractical? Yes. But so what??!). I bought shiny new Giuseppe Zanotti flats… cover ups and swimsuits…and while there are absolutely lovely resorts, pools, and hidden gems in Haiti, this trip was moreso about rolling up our sleeves, getting dirty, sweaty, and bug bitten, and figuring out how we can use our fantastic privilege and platforms to affect a real change in Haiti and the world.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it: Haiti is suffering. Riding from both airports at Cap Haitian and Port au Prince, trash populated the side of the road. Dogs and goats ran free. Roads are unpaved. We learned about the startling rate of unemployment. How many people don’t earn a living wage. And on and on.

We also learned of the amazing possibilities.

Happy Friday loves!

Before the first episode of TNT’s new show Claws aired on June 11th, viewers didn’t know what to expect. But it’s literally ALL about the nails, and we can’t wait for more!

Claws is more than what it seems, as these five women don’t just look pretty while running a nail salon–their careers are considered a safe front for what’s really going on behind closed doors.

The owner of the shop and HBIC, “Desna,” played by Niecy Nash, has been doing dirty business with a powerful southern gang in Florida. But she wants out of the gang, and more from her brand, business, and investments.

While maintaining a professional image, drama tends to escalate and believe it or not, but each character’s nail artistry has a role in the show. Crazy right?!

This is fashion and beauty like never before, as each design coincides with each scene or vibe from the characters. For example, Karreuche as “Virginia” wore a colorful top and bottom set in the beginning of episode one. So her nails consisted of a mix-match of neon colors.

Head nail designer, Gracie J @theeditorialnail and her assistant Elissa Schell @nailsby.elissa are the ones behind the intense detailing. They actually sit down with the writers for the show and brainstorm what nail look to pull off next.

They’ve even broke down how each character’s nails should not only switch according to scene, but it has to match their own identity as well. And they’re using press on’s to create such magic. Can you believe that?!

Most of the nail artistry is glamorous, bedazzled and carries heavy patterns and styles. They’ve used detailing like glass, rings, glitter, beads and more.

Now, let’s take a look at the characters and why their nails get a starring role all on its own!

Desna’s designs are as Gracie describes, “long, stiletto, claws,” which match her fierceness and boss lady status on the show. She’s seen in metallic or chrome nails typically with lots of studs, rings and pearls embedded onto her nails.

Jenn Lyon as “Jen” is Desna’s partner n’ crime. Her nails match her southern bell life style, “over the top” prints like bright geode or cheetah prints that are shaped long and square.

“Virginia,” played by Karreuche Tran, exudes confident and colorful “coffin” shaped nails that are typically inspired by her new boss, Desna.

Carrie Preston play’s “Polly” a bashful, warm hearted soul with a record you’d wouldn’t imagine. Her nails are “cutting edge,” yet trimmed low. She rocks more softer hues that compliment her polite approach.

Judy Reyes is “Quiet Ann” she doesn’t actually invest in mani’s (probably not pedi’s either). She keeps it plain and simple while finding pleasure as a dominate lesbian playing bodyguard for the pack.
