I’m going to take a little break from reporting on Paris Fashion Week to bring you some good old Fashion Bombshell goodness! Today we have Shayna, a merchandising student at New York’s FIT:

She says, “My style is ever evolving. I wear a piece of leopard print everyday.  As an Artist, I love the femininity it represents… Girl Power!”
Well, Shayna, you certainly have an eclectic look. I admire your courageous haircut, nails, heck even your leopard print catsuit!

Ow!

What do you guys think of Shayna’s style?

I, of course, was not in attendance, but the following pictures surfaced on New York Magazine:

McQueen played with regal baroque elements like brocade and jacquard, but added his signature futuristic spin by mixing in rough leather spiked boots and extraterrestrial mohawk feathered head pieces:

Red, green, gold, and black were the main colors of a line which was exceptional for its mastery and creativity. It is beyond sad that this will be the last.

According to the article, “Reporters watched the show in silence as McQueen’s assistants ‘choked back tears.‘”RIP Lee McQueen.

Apparently the $80 babies are still available at select locations in New York. We have a feeling it won’t be long before they’re sold out!

Find a Payless location near you at www.payless.com.

Amber Rose is a fan…

So after I heard about Vogue Italia’s new site Vogue Black, you know I had to get involved!

My blogging buddy Afrobella put me in touch with the editors, and that’s all she wrote!

Check out my first piece on the hottest brown skinned beauties from this season’s runways:

I plan on contributing a lot more and hopefully providing interesting features, exclusives interviews, and videos.

When I first started the dear old Fashion Bomb, I never knew what opportunities it could open up for me. I’m so excited at the possibilities!

I want to thank you guys for holding us down, visiting, and leaving all your fab comments. Take a gander at Vogue Black and show some love as well!

Promise, we won’t let you down:)

Smootches!

FSL Cosmetics Lipgloss http://fashionbombdaily.com/2010/03/10/giveaway-fsl-cosmetics-lipgloss/ http://fashionbombdaily.com/2010/03/10/giveaway-fsl-cosmetics-lipgloss/#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:07:10 +0000 Danielle http://fashionbombdaily.com/?p=26544

Hey Bombshells!

Danielle here with a cute little giveaway for ya:)

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the launch party for FSL Cosmetics, a company that features a fab new line of lipsticks and lipglosses. The brand is the brainchild of Kimberly Riley, a smart and gorgeous YBF (young, black, and fabulous) diva who received a bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering with double minors in Chemistry and Business Administration. Kim always wanted to show the world how female engineers could have exciting and creative careers in an industry they know best. And lipgloss, she does know best.

While FSL has an array of lip colors, I naturally gravitated towards their lipgloss in Seduction–a bright, glossy red that appears to have married the worlds of lipstick and gloss and could be a dead ringer for Chanel Allure Laque in Dragon. And get this—it smells like brownies! Check it out on me:


Excuse the sleepy eyes and the cropped pic–I was tired and needed to hide a multitude of sins…lol. But how hot is this color?

All the lipglosses are hypoallergenic, consist of a vitamin-rich, antioxidant-potent formula that will hydrate and protect the lips from natural elements. They are also 100% free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, GMOs (generally modified organisms), nut oil, gluten, and talc. They don’t test on animals and the lip gloss containers are 100% recyclable. Great for your lips, great for the environment. Nice!

Since I’m so in love with Seduction, I just had to pass along the opportunity for one of you lucky readers to win this fab gloss. Or if red isn’t your thing, FSL will let you choose a gloss of your liking.

Now come close and pay attention because here’s what you have to do to enter:

1. Be a U.S. resident (so sorry, my international beauties).
2. Leave a comment on this post with your most inspirational famous fashion quote (For example: “You live but once, you might as well be amusing.”–Coco Chanel).
3. Only one entry per person (we check IP addresses!), so make sure your first comment is good!

Entries must be in by Friday, March 12, 2010 at 11:59 P.M. EST. A winner will be chosen at random and will be announced on Monday, March 15, 2010. The winner will then be contacted by FSL to have their lipgloss sent to them.

*To increase your chances of winning, follow @FSLCosmetics on Twitter and tweet the following Feel Good, Look Good, Smell Good with @FSLCosmetics http://bit.ly/biA7T3 #FSLCosmetics

Even if you don’t win, you should still pick up Seduction especially if you’ve never tried a red before.

Good luck!

~Danielle
