drop-down-menu, navbar, twitter-bootstrap-3

Solution

DEMO: http://jsbin.com/eNUpufIs/2/edit?html,css,output

I make the demo links big so you can see it.

<div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top my-custom-nav" role="navigation">

  <div class="container">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
                <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            </button>
            <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">My Application</a>
      

 
<div class="navbar-right navbar-text cursor" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target=".user-dropdown">
<i class="fa fa-user"></i> John Smith<b class="caret"></b>
</div>         



       <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
          <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
            </ul>
      </div>


  
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-user navbar-right">
                <li class="dropdown user-dropdown">
                
                    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                        <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-user"></i> Profile</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> Inbox<span class="badge">7</span></a></li>
                        <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-gear"></i> Settings</a></li>
                        <li class="divider"></li>
                        <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-power-off"></i> Log Out</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
            </ul>
  
  
</div>
</div>

CSS:

body {padding-top:50px;}

.cursor {cursor:pointer}



/* your going to need to fiddle with the css to make the menu consistent left padding-margin */

/* consistent left padding */
 @media (max-width:767px) {
    .my-custom-nav .navbar-collapse .navbar-nav > li {padding-left:15px!important;}

    .my-custom-nav .user-dropdown > .dropdown-menu > li {padding-left:5px!important;}

}

Make sure you test it!
