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.

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.

This Fall, Nordstrom’s shopping experience will become even more chic! The Grammy Award winning singing sensation Céline Dion will be launching a lifestyle collection with the retailer in August. The 200 piece-collection includes clutches, luggage, totes, tech accessories and small leather goods.

In a WWD interview Céline said, “I’m excited at this opportunity to launch my collection with Nordstrom. . .they’re a wonderful company with great stores.” Accessibility and affordability were two key features that the singer wanted present in her collection. The quality line has retail prices ranging from $58-$298 in the U.S. and $78-$398 in Canada. Dion showcased pieces from her collection back in February at the Project Women’s Trade Show in Las Vegas.

The legendary crooner starts her European Tour today in Denmark and she will be wrapping up on August 5^th. We hope Dion wastes no time with the official launch after the close of her tour.  We can be expecting the collection to be available online and in Nordstrom stores in August.

This promises to be a great addition for our Fall 2017 wardrobe!

Logan Browning was pretty in pink, clad in a frilly, ruffle confection.

Emayatzy Corinealdi flaunted her toned gams in a very popular Self Portrait mini dress. She’s stunning!

Jessica Williams went bold in a chartreuse belted, asymmetric sleeve dress—adding dark berry lips for another pop of color.

Janina Gavankar was a vision in a white gown with cold shoulder embellishment. This would have been flaw-free had she eschewed the cuffs and pulled her hair up!
