Hey Guys!
Today’s Bombshell is fellow blogger Marian Kihogo of the blog www.mariankihogo.com :
The London based fashion writer and personal stylist has a one-of-a-kind look that has gotten her noticed by Marie Claire South Africa, Vogue Paris, and more:
She says, “I best describe my style as like a car crash of 70′s luxe bohemian, rock & roll and sharp masculine tailoring.”
“…My emotions, underlying thoughts and unconscious references play a strong part in the shaping of my daily outfits.”
“…Each outfit is an expression of my current state of being.”
Lovely looks, Marian! Your look is simple, yet so chic. Love your accessories: the stacked bracelets, the retro sunglasses, the lace up purple shoes with the yellow plexi heel. You’re the bomb!
What do you think of today’s Bombshell?

Love your choice of bold lip color and I always think British girls wear the craziest shoes. They get really bold with their footwear.

GREAT FAshion BOMB! Every looked screamed “this is a representation of me”. She has her OWN style and is not trendy at all. And the last pic was to DIE FOR! Loved it so much!

I absolutely LOVE Marian!!! She is what being a fashion bomb is all about – playing by your own rules and creating your own style lane. You can tell this style of dress comes to her naturally, which is refreshing give all of the copy-cats out there.
Aspiring stylists/fashionistas take note: OWN YOUR STYLE AND STOP CHASING TRENDS TRYING TO BE THE NEXT (WHOEVER)
