Today’s bomb product features the trend that’s flooding our timelines: Velvet! I was particularly intrigued when I saw a pair worn by a London Bombshell, who paired a saucy velvet yellow mini dress with blue velvet over the knee boots.
Not sure of the make of her heels, but these $58 options from DollsKill are a steal and come very close.
They boast a block heel, a pointed toe, and an inner ankle zipper closure.
I’d vote against spending a ton on a trend, so these are perfect!

What do you think of our bomb product? Would you wear them?
Today’s Bomb Blogger feature is a bit personal for me. I’ve had the privilege and honor of watching this young woman blossom into a fashion powerhouse who continually captivates her audience with looks that are both classically chic yet tremendously unique.
In addition, I’m proud to call her a friend, a colleague and (of course) a fellow #GirlBoss! So, join me as we get into the sartorial musings of Brandy Gueary of the style and DIY blog known as Authentically+B!
In her candid ‘About Me’ section, this sensational style maven writes, “Hey y’all, I’m Brandy! I’m a 29 year old native Texan, Houstonian, mother, wife, elementary school teacher, and creative being. I began Authentically+B after my husband and I purchased a cottage built in the 1920’s that required a LOT of TLC. I began to trust myself more and became more self reliant as I tackled so much of the work myself. I decided to listen to my inner voice that was nudging me share things that I’m working on in an effort to help others discover how capable they are.” Love it!
And, let me tell you, Brandy is the real deal! She’s solidified her status as one of the Texas’s most promising style bloggers with an undeniable consistency, a knack for enticing all cameras and a natural beauty like no other – she’s the product of an intense work ethic that is devastatingly apparent throughout her intricately curated blog.
Brandy’s style, much like her look, is always changing. I mean, you never can pinpoint what she’ll wear next nor can you categorize her specific fashion aesthetic. Although she lives for practical combinations and her signature Chuck Taylors, she can turn around and shock the masses in a statement-making mixed print ‘fit or a plunging ankara maxi dress!
And, I believe that it’s this type of unpredictable approach that keeps her readers coming back for more. Brandy’s mastered the art of maintaining an effortless cool while letting her frocks do all the talking and, if that’s not the definition of a Bomb Blogger, I don’t know what is. With each passing day, her future looks brighter and brighter, can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Slay on, hun!

From Harper’s Bazaar, “Art Director and Executive producer, Christopher Sollinger, cast various industry icons, veterans, and new faces for the historic cover series of the next edition of “Harper’s Bazaar India”. Nine versions of the magazine will be available, each featuring a different woman of color on the cover including Tyra Banks as well as Tracey Africa and Geena Rocero, who become the first transgender women to appear on the cover of the iconic “Harper’s Bazaar.” Sollinger produced the shoot over the course of a week in New York.
‘The Nine Wonders of the World’ cover series is a twist on the unofficial title sometimes given to those new buildings, structures, projects or even designs that are deemed to be comparable. The series interprets and showcases this “new” as diversity. The new being that diversity is acceptable and celebrated today.
“Diversity has always been the DNA of Harper’s Bazaar. The Indian edition is delighted to follow in such illustrious steps”, said Harper’s Bazaar India Editor Nonita Kalra.
“Showcasing white woman after white woman on covers does not work anymore, we need to show the women of the world that is of now,” said Sollinger. “The world is changing and with this story we want to be apart of that global revolution.”
“This cover means the world to me and for me to represent my community, it is such a humbling experience for me, I can’t thank Christopher and Harper’s Bazaar for allowing me to be on the cover,” said Tracey Norman.
“It is an honor to be on this historic cover series with the women that I’ve looked up to. Growing up in the Philippines I used to dream of being on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar”, said Rocero.”
High Snobiety to the rescue! They had images of all 38 looks from the highly anticipated collection.
You know the deal: muted creams, beiges, and blacks; sweater dresses, oversized jackets, and lustworthy heels (hello, thigh highs). Wear them right off the runway, as we’ve seen the Kardashians do in the past few days.
I must say, I’m a sucker for a sweater dress and thigh high boots! And while the plexi thigh highs look uncomfortable, everything else in the cream/beige family is pretty much on point. I might never jump on the unitard train for anything other than spinning or sports.
What say you: Do you see anything you like/must have?
Because we love you, we are giving away a gift box of Fashion Bomb Daily x Tees in the Trap goodies, chock full of fabulous merch like Hustle Cups, stickers, and more.

Smootches!
We were a bit disappointed when Rihanna announced that she wouldn’t be showing Fenty x Puma at NYFW. We weren’t sure if that meant there was no new collection coming at all, or if she’d release a look book for the assortment. But great news has just come through—Ms. Fenty will be showing the latest installment of her collaboration with the brand at Paris Fashion Week:
September 28th is the big day and to say that the industry is abuzz would be a gross understatement. “It’s a dream for me to be able to present my second collection of Fenty Puma by Rihanna in Paris,” said the bad gal in a release. “I approached this season very differently and felt the theme and concept was best suited for one of my favorite cities, Paris.”
And if you aren’t in Paris for the momentous occasion, not to fret: Tidal will be streaming it all for both members and non-members. We know it will be a star-studded affair!
Are you excited for Fenty x Puma’s next collection?
