The songstress also slipped into a couple of her own designs! And, the Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik ‘9 to 5’ Thigh-High Denim Belted Boots are quite the statement-makers. These luxurious kicks boast an almond toe, a 4.5-inch stiletto heel finished with embroidered sequin trim and a jewel-buckled waist belt. Interested in splurging? Cop your own here!

As I examine this ensemble, half of me absolutely loves it. But, the other half is like “What’s going on here?” So, I guess I’m torn on this one. In other news, the boots are life!

Who Wore It Better? Blac Chyna vs Kylie Jenner in House of CB’s Santina Champagne Velvet Thigh Split Dress

Our Instagram followers were on fire after we posted this on social media! We got threats of being “unfollowed” and we were even called “tasteless” but, we couldn’t help but recall another instance where we asked the question “Who Wore It Better?” while featuring Blac Chyna and our Editor-in-Chic Claire Sulmers in another House of CB creation. No one had anything to say then…

Black-Chyna-House-of-CB-1

With that, I’m moving forward with this post. I just believe that there is an issue with the contenders themselves rather than the dress. Tough. Anywho, Blac Chyna was spotted while out and about in House of CB‘s Santina Champagne Velvet Thigh Split Dress but let’s not forget that style maven Kylie Jenner also rocked it before in a past appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The form-fitting piece feature a high neck design and a nipped waist. It also boasts a center thigh split that showcases a little leg.

And, honestly, I don’t like the dress on Blac Chyna nor do I care for it on Kylie. I’m not sure if it’s the material or the overall look but it’s a no for me. On both ends.

Though this up and coming makeup mogul/reality starlet’s nineteenth birthday isn’t until August 10th, Kylie Jenner prowled through a throng of paparazzi and started celebrations early at LA hotspot The Nice Guy last night. She showed off her sexy side in a $1,960 Balmain Sheer Arabesque Jacquard Knit Jumpsuit and a pair of $700 Valentino ‘Fusion 100’ Lace and Leather Court Pumps. This long-sleeved jacquard jumpsuit, though ornately patterned, is unlined and sheer, which leaves little to the imagination.  A ribbed collar, cuffs and hem accompanied with a black and gold rear zip enclosure offer a slight break in texture and a means for getting in and out of it easily.Kylie continued the lace motif with a lacy pair of Valentino pumps.

This slip on, lace and leather pump exudes sexiness and utter femininity.  This four inch heel features a pointed toe and a lace floral lace upper.

Though it’s a little on the risqué end of the sartorial spectrum, I couldn’t imagine anyone wearing this for any other momentous occasion.  But at a total of $2,660, is this piece from the family’s favorite fashion house and her pumps worth the splurge, even for a birthday?Well, if you think so, and you’re not afraid to showcase a little skin, you can shop this Balmain jumpsuit here and her Valentino pumps here.A gilded wide Balmain belt, voluminous curls and makeup in earthtone shades completed her look.  What say you, Bomb readers?

Happy Monday, Bombers and Bombshells!
I just returned from a quick trip to the Windy City for Cocktails with Claire x Miss Diddy Chicago, Sponsored by Toyota! And what can I say? It was bomb!





Well heeled fashionistas from all over Chi Town gathered at Food for Thought at 19 East 21st Street to partake in our panel discussion, sip cocktails provided by Hennessy, network, check out the new Toyota Camry, and have fun! With beats by MJ of the Beautiful Beat, Curls gift bags, vendors Pear Nova, ShopBellaRosa, Meow and Barks Boutique, Kiwi’s Boutique, Dez Deme House of Styles, 8ty4 Vintage, @41SouthVintage, Kouture Styles Boutique, Vanorsby, and more, the event was absolutely fabulous.


The day kicked off with a ‘Breaking Into…” discussion featuring Miss Diddy and I, along with Chicago based all stars Bobby Simmons (owners of D Lux Gallery), Kendra G (radio personality), and Ashunta Sheriff (celebrity makeup artist). We each shared our stories, and offered our thoughts on networking, triumphing against adversity, staying persistent, and looking at some failures as blessings in disguise.
