#HappyThursday!

Gucci is everywhere nowadays! Not saying that the brand has fell off in any kind of way (umm, helllooo, it’s Gucci), but celebs are in love with a large variety of the fashion house’s pieces. From the Spring 2016 emerald floral print suits to their popular street-style friendly mules, Gucci is it! Yet, today we’re focusing on an accessory that has graced the wardrobes of fashion faves Marlo Hampton, Vivica A. Fox and even Beyonce.

So, let’s get into the sartorial slayage of Gucci’s Dionysus Striped Bamboo Top-Handle Bag in Black, Red and Green!

Iconic actress Vivica A. Fox was spotted out and about while filming her show in a $1,390 Gucci Stretch Cotton and Lace Knit Top, white skinnies and the matching Dionysus bag. She accessorized her look with oversized sunnies and classic pumps.

Yaaasss!! Marlo Hampton never ceases to amaze me! The fearless style maven paired her version of the Dionysus bag with Gucci from head-to toe. She also donned the GG Supreme Lace-Up Boots. Werk!

And, Queen Bey took a more polished route while incorporating a tailored blazer, simple ankle strap sandals and a gray Gucci ‘Birds’ T-Shirt.

It’s going to cost you a pretty penny to get this little number into your wardrobe. Retailing at about $3,500, the Dionysus bag is certainly considered an ‘investment piece’ (in my book, lol). So,if you have the coins, by allllll means – go for it! Get yours now!

All three ladies look amazing, don’t you agree?

How would you rock the Gucci Dionysus handbag?!

Actress Eva Longoria was all smiles as she attended the 2016 Los Angeles Film Festival Opening in a $363 Vatanika Asymmetric Pique-Blend Dress and stunning $1,430 Alaïa Studded Suede Sandals.

The fashionista’s edgy ensemble showcases a strapless neckline, a dose of dramatic flair and a fitted waist.

In its official debut, the eye-catching LBD was accented with gold embellished T-Strap pumps and a chic ‘do. Luckily, you can still purchase the same dress here!

Very cute, no?!

With such a bold frock, your shoes have to be on point! So, Eva chose to don a pair of Alaïa Studded Suede Sandals that feature a concealed zip fastening along the back, button-like straps and a 4.5-inch heel. Cop yours now!

It’s been a minute since we’ve seen Eva! I’m here for it!

Are you feeling her look?

On Wednesday, June 1st, Pharrell Williams hosted the grand opening for the new G-Star RAW 5th ave location.  The store was packed wall to wall with denim enthusiasts ready to pounce on their new collection.  G-Star RAW features tons of innovative designs that are not like your basic denim:

 

The Pouch gives a whole new spin to the idea of maintenance wear.  The 5 pocket denim jeans are designed with a pouch in the front where you’d typically find a zipper.  One of the main functions of the Pouch is to replace the need for a clutch or handbag.

 

The Staq is constructed to give denim a 3D appearance.  Considered a hybrid of chinos and basic denim, Staq jeans feature a buttoned waist tab, side entrance pockets, and back welt-pockets.

Design your own denim! On site, you can pick your jeans and use the iron do some craft patch work.

 

I was completely pleased to observe and confirm the rumors about Pharrell Williams.  He is beyond swaggy in person and definitely ageless.  The 43-year-old mogul serves as a co-owner to the G-Star RAW brand.  As a creative director of Bionic Yarn, Williams will co-design the RAW for the Oceans collection, a line made of recycled ocean goods.

If you’re diggin’ the G-Star RAW style, you can explore here.

What do you think?  Would you wear this brand?

Godiva Goddess Kelly Rowland made a fashionable appearance last night at the grand opening of “Cadillac House” in New York City. The multi-talented performer was an absolute vision in a sexy metallic slip dress and $755 Gianvito Rossi Leather Bow Sandals.

The playful Italian footwear is fashioned with an ultra-comfortable padded leather insole and supportive adjustable ankle strap to balance out the sky-high stiletto heel.

These lovelies also house a removable bow, a versatile colorway and a closed back. Elegant!

If you’re up for the splurge, you can purchase your own bow sandals here!

Kelly looks flawless! Her skin looks like butttaaaa!!! #GOALS

I’m still searching for the ID of her dress but I’ll keep you guys posted as deets continue to roll in 🙂

And, we’re also sending a huge congrats to Kelly for securing her place as Cadillac’s new brand ambassador! Yaaasss!

Chris Brown was spotted at last night’s launch party for the Nike Lab x Olivier Rousteing collaboration, rocking Balmain and a NikeLab x Olivier Rousteing black zipper jacket and shoes:

With the collection hitting stores TOMORROW, it made sense for Chris Breezy (and a few other attendees) to show their support by rocking a few pieces. 

His shoes are embellished with metallic gold and high gloss. 

The jacket (N98) features gold framing and an embroidered woven crest. This jacket comes for both men and women, the woman’s feature also doubling as a dress.

All in all, Chris looks wonderful as usual. Check out more pieces from the upcoming collection here. But what do you think? Hot or Hmm?

Bad gal Riri was spotted siting poolside along her friends rocking a Suga Apple Swim black bathing suit and Jacquie Aiche diamond halter bra:

The bathing suit features a deep v neckline, a low back and has lace up sides.

Although Suga Apple Swim doesn’t have a website, you can check out their Instagram if interested in their pieces.

Her beautiful diamond halter bra is from Jacquie Aiche, a favorite jeweler of Rihanna’s. This diamond bra in particular is an unreleased piece, but features webbed detailing and hanging white diamonds throughout.

I’m digging this look and gives me inspiration for some bathing suit options this summer! What do you think of the look? Hot or Hmm?

Earlier today, Taraji P. Henson was spotted on the ‘Gram rocking a chic Suno Spring 2016 Multicolor Stripe Tuxedo Dress. Whelp, it turns out fashion fave Zendaya Coleman also uplifted a similar version of the ensemble with the incorporation of a leather jacket and sky-high Christian Louboutin boots.

While Zendaya chose to go for the exact ‘fit that was showcased on the catwalk, Taraji went for a softer colorway and matching sandals.

Hmmm, neither. This dress is hideous!

Her sweatshirt sold on eBay for $250: a vintage style from the ’80s.

Her black leather boots feature sky-high 6.5″ wedge heels and a lace-up front.

Kicks would’ve been a much better pairing with this look!

Mel B just celebrated her 41st birthday on May 29th, and as such, we decided to show love to the birthday girl by making the Spice Girl alumna this week’s Beauty Crush!

While Mel B. was in fact a member of one of the world’s most popular girl groups of the 90s, she has gone on to create a personal platform that displayers her diversity and talent as a business entrepreneur .

Aside from her music (both with Spice Girls as well as personal), Mel B. has also dabbled in TV film and media. She has made frequent appearances on Oxygen, the TV show The X Factor, Dancing with the Stars, and is the current presenter for Lip Sync Battle UK.

However, we can’t help but dote on just how beautiful she is! A classic beauty, Mel B. has kept her makeup style routine pretty consistent over the years, going for an everyday natural glam with an occasional pop of color on the lip or smokey eye.While she experiments with colors in her outfit choices and even with the style of her hair, Mel B. sticks with a makeup routine that works for her and promotes that natural beauty aesthetic that’s totally been trending recently (though she’s been doing it for years).

This beauty looks like she’s not slowing down anytime soon! Even on a day off from the glitz and glam she radiates natural beauty and dewy skin that is definitely enviable!

Just in case you’ve never heard her music before, check out her song ‘For Once In My Life’ from a few years back (that definitely can still crank this summer!):

All of these reasons and more make Mel B our Beauty Crush Wednesday! Is she yours?

I’ve always been a lover of all things Africa.

So, after I ran across StyleFixx UK’s ‘I Love Africa’ necklace, I knew I had to feature the brand on the Fashion Bomb!

StyleFixx UK is a go-to luxury accessories destination that showcases a wide variety of chokers, necklaces, bracelets, etc. I came across their page after a brief Instagram binge and I was instantly intrigued by the quality and versatility of their products.

But, it was the ‘I Love Africa’ necklace that left me craving more. Available for only $20, this little piece of heaven is a definite steal!

To see more from this up-and-coming brand, visit their official shop here and follow them on Instagram @stylefixxuk.

What do ya’ll think?
