Check out today’s Bomb Product of the Day, Alice + Olivia’s $495 Basquiat Beat Bop Clutch:
This printed leather beauty features a knob closure with the signature Basquiat crown, a removable chain strap, and an interior slide pocket. The design is based off Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Beat Bop print.

It’s a New Year, and we’re inaugurating a new feature: Taye Time with Fitness Tips from Celebrity Trainer Taye Jay! If you follow me on Snapchat, you know that I’m a Soulcycle fanatic! My absolute favorite instructor is Taye, a seriously stunning Bombshell, who has offered to share some of her health and fitness tips with FBD readers.
We posted her stunning headshot to Instagram to kick things off, and you guys wrote in with your questions!
Read below for her answers:
@Vonnie12 wrote, “Any tips on how to keep your curves but lose inches in their waist?”
Taye offers, “To keep your curves but lose inches, increase your protein intake, eat your veggies (asparagus is good), and focus on complex carbs like yams, brown rice, quinoa, etc.”
Next up, @Chacams3 types, “What are the best ways to get rid of back fat?”
Taye is a fan of Sweet Sweat, which is a workout enhancement gel and a waist trainer (get it at Amazon here). Slip that on when you’re hitting the gym and, “work out with long sleeves.” I’ll need to try that! She adds, “Go into the sauna. The sauna is going to melt the fat literally. It detoxes the body and melts the fat.
Lastly, @Cindy_1453 asked, “How do I tone my abdomen and get a six pack?”
She says, “It’s all about what you eat. It’s like 80% food, 20% work out. You have to be on a tight regimen. You have to eliminate most of those carbs and you have to up your protein and veggies intake. Also drink lots of water to flush your body out.”
And that does it! If you want any more fitness tips, leave them in the comment section below! Also be sure to follow Taye on Instagram @Taye_Jay.

Young Hollywood has been out in droves lately. From the People’s Choice Awards to the Women’s March held last Saturday, some of our favorite starlets have been showing up and out, and the year has just started. So this week’s beauty crush shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. Star of ABC’s award winning primetime comedy, Black-ish, and red carpet fave, Yara Shahidi is well on her way to having quite the year, and looks stunning all the while.
Gorgeous skin like Yara’s is the perfect base for makeup artists to explore different looks. Yara tends to lean more toward earthy tones, subtle bronzes, and soft pinks on her lips and full cheeks to compliment her complexion.
But she loves to bring drama to her eyes every now and then with deep reds.
As for her hair, these days, she sticks with rocking her natural curls. Though she straightens it from time to time…
…Yara definitely becomes more creative with braids and top knots.
When she’s not busy blazing the red carpet, thanks to stylist Ade Samuel, or paying homage to legendary goddess of blues and soul, Sadé…
…Yara is all for the advancement and education of black youth, the empowerment of black people and women’s right, as her passion for the two resonates during her speeches. She even participated in this year’s Women’s March with Black-ish co-star and TV mom, Tracee Ellis Ross!
Beyond her obvious beauty, Yara is a wise talent, a rarity, and a young woman of action, not only words. She embodies so much grace for a young woman and is fast becoming one of the more powerful voices of this generation. So today, we celebrate her as this week’s beauty crush!
Ali Larter took to the Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Los Angeles Premiere in the same Christian Siriano Spring 2017 Bell Sleeve Crop Top Janelle Monae originally wore earlier this month:
Ali copied the runway look verbatim, while Janelle paired the piece with Tome Spring 2017 black and white striped trousers.
Statement-making earrings, a matching high-waist, lace-inset skirt, black and white printed pumps, and a bag in the timeless combo accented the top on the catwalk.
