    Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Abiola from Washington

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!
    Todays Bombshell is Abiola from Seattle, Washington:

    The blogger for Bora Bora Style says, “I would define my style as a mix of 60′s chic with a hard edge and a mash up of mens modern classics.”

    “…I adore quality vintage and enjoy mixing and mismatching it into one look. I love the structure of mens pieces and how it impacts a look when you merge it with an ultra feminine addition – very ambiguous outcome, but stunning all the same.”

    “…I’m also a “shoe enthusiast”. There’s nothing better than a good, quality shoe and how it can change the dimensions of your entire look – I love that ish. I get a kick out of playing up soft elements with a hard edge, keeps the look exciting and fresh in my opinion.”

    “Fashion to me is more than clothes constructively draped on a model; fashion is an art about self expression and molding ones individuality through what they wear and how they wear it. I think that’s what resonates with me the most about fashion: the idea that whatever I put together on my body tells everyone around me a little bit about who I am before I even speak.”

    Cute looks! Check out Abiola on her blog, Bora Bora Style.

      The red dress fits her like a glove, very pretty. Other than that, it’s not really my style but it seems to work for her…

      ….mwahhh :)

      It’s ok.Nothing impressive.Just some nice simple pieces. the only advice I would give is stay away from tennis skirts and knee high stockings, it always looks dated.

      6 inch heels is crazy. By adding the fur throw, you totally rock that skirt.

      I’m obsessed with the red dress. It’s simple but incredibly defining and flattering.

      I think what I most love about your style is the versatility! You have a cute look for almost every occasion here, and each one is so unique and stunning!

      My favorite in a long time!

      I LOVE THE VERSATILITY OF HER LOOKS. NOT REALLY MY STYLE I PREFER A MORE GLAMMED UP POLISHED LOOK. NEVER THE LESS DOPE PAIRING OF HER PIECES. I LIKE THE LONG SLEEVE LEOPARD DRESS AND THE LAST LOOK.
