Rihanna for Gucci + Fashion Bomb LA Excursion

*So after my last NYC Meet & Greet, some of you asked "Claire, when are you doing a Meet & Greet in my town??"
Well, Fashion Bomb super fan Vanessa took some major initiative and arranged for the Fashion Bomb to have its own Meet & Greet in Los Angeles!!!!
Woooooooot!
Come around and say 'hey' on July 26th from 3-7pm at Pinky Rose Boutique (5571 Pico Boulevard):
How cute is that??? I can't wait. Give me a shout at thefashionbomb@gmail.com and let me know if you're coming. Also, if there are a few 'must see' LA boutiques, designers, or shopping areas, let me know! Can't wait for the California sun!!!
*WWD reports that Rihanna will be appearing in Guccis' first ad campaign highlighting its collaboration with the United Nation’s Children’s Fund, UNICEF.
Shot by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in Paris, the ads will appear in December magazines. There are also rumors of her starting her own fashion line!!! Would you buy Rihanna couture?
*I do believe that the July issues of Italian Vogue have touched US shores. Stay tuned for updates; they should be available in the Fashion Bomb shop as early as tomorrow! For now, check out all the scans here.
