Happy Tuesday!
Excuse me for the lack of updates. I’ve been running around, preparing for Fashion Week and also for my upcoming trip to Houston!
Can you believe I’ve never been? I’m excited about getting my feet wet and also having a series of book signings at swanky boutiques!
Above, please find my schedule. I will be holding court at the Saks Fifth Avenue at the Galleria Mall from 2pm-4pm on Thursday February 2nd. Come see me on the 2nd floor!
Friday, February 3rd calls for a keynote! I will be delivering one at the Superbold conference from 11am-3pm. Get your tickets at LiveSuperBold.com.
My lonestar tour ends on Saturday February 4th at the Webster! Join us for shopping at Cocktails from 1-3pm. RSVP to events@thewebster.us.
I am bringing a limited number of copies of The Bomb Life. I might be being silly but I want to sell out completely before I order more! That said, get your autographed copy while you can. Supplies are limited!
And that does it!
I hope to meet some of y’all very soon. We receive a TON of Bombshell submission from Houston, so I hope you roll out!
Love + Light,
Kim Kardashian recently flaunted pierced nails via her snapchat and sent the fashion/entertainment world into a frenzy. “Kim Kardashian starts new trend as she tries out pierce nails,” read The Daily Mail headline.
This pre-existing trend dates all the way back to 1998 when Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson collaborated on the song, “What’s it Gonna Be.” Women went to their neighborhood nail salons and styled their nails with piercings and designs as the trend became more popular.
Now that Kim K West has reinvigorated the trend, are you willing to give them a go?
Are they Hot! or Hmm…?
Just for fun, reminisce with the What’s It Gonna Be Video below:
We have a Bombshell showdown! Kylie and Rih Rih seem to have the same taste! Kylie stepped out in Costa Rica in the same The Dolls House Fashion Fringed Cami Jumpsuit previously spied on Rihanna:
The ladies varied in their color choice. Kylie shined in brilliant white, while Rihanna looked sassy in green.
This jumpsuit is hot fire! I love it on both!
She says, “I would describe my style as an eclectic mix of color, sass with a bit of quirkiness.”

Dee, I love your London style! Your black mules are the bomb, we need deets!

It’s a crazy time in the world right now. Trump has implemented travel bans, thus creating even more division and upset in the world.
Meanwhile, fashion brands like Gucci are pushing for more inclusivity. The hugely popular Italian house released a series of audition tapes for their Pre-Fall 2017 ad campaign, and it seems only black models were invited to the casting call.
Subjects were asked to discuss their spirit animals, and even told to show off their dance moves.
At first glance, the concept seemed cool. In 2016, we dubbed Gucci our Brand of the Year, and it’s great to see a European house make a concerted effort to reflect the diversity of the world and most importantly its customers. The dancing part made me go Hmmm….the whole charade seemed reductive and problematic. What does dancing have to do with their modeling skills?
The SAGs went down tonight and it’s always one of the best red carpets of the year! Chic pants, stripes, bold hues, and curve-hugging silhouettes emerged as the night’s biggest trends.
Check out the must-see looks below:
