Hey Guys!
I’m super excited to present my girl Demetria aka A Belle in Brooklyn (www.abelleinbrooklyn.com) as Bombshell of the Day:
She says, “Most days, I ask myself ‘What would Diahann Carroll do if she was influenced by Lauryn Hill circa ’00 and Andre 3000?’ Whatever answer I come up with is what I put on that morning.”
” I’m also into pageantry. I like being slightly over the top with ruffles and frills.”
“My personal fashion motto is, ‘high hair, high heels, high boobs.’”
Super cute! If you don’t know about Demetria’s blog, www.abelleinbrooklyn.com, get to clicking! It’s an award winning relationship blog that will actually be turned into a book in June 2011 (so Sex and the City!).
Demetria is also a relationships editor at Essence magazine. Check out a bit of her work here. Don’t forget to follow her on Twitter @abelleinbk or ask her a relationship question at formspring.me/abelleinbk.

I love Belle’s style. Whenever I see her pics on Essence. I’m like I need that dress she’s wearing. So glad she is featured on here. She sure is banging (in my Michael Jackson voice)

Lol @ R. Scholar’s comment.
I’ve seen her at parties around BK and her style is definitely on point. Her hair is always the picture of perfection as well.
September 21, 2010 12:16 pm
Love her style, blog, brand, motto etc. I think it’s interesting that even though none of her dresses are body hugging she still looks sexy but in a very classy way. She looks confident and comfortable. *two snaps*

Looove her. H er personnality does shine through on those pictures. Every single outfit is dope & well accessorized! They still allow her dresses to take center stage. I’m also crazy about her hair esp the one w/the white polka dotted dress.LOL @ the Diahann Carroll + Lauryn Hill + Andre 3000 remark!
September 21, 2010 1:55 pm

September 21, 2010 2:09 pm
All of those dresses are beautiful! Who says only thin gals can pull it off?
