Before my wrists fall off from Met Gala induced typing (eep!), I thought I’d bring you our Bombshell for today, Rocquelle from Houston:
She says, “I would describe my style as eclectic and feminine, with a slight edge.”
“… My style is not very well thought out or planned; I usually go with what feels good to me that day.”
” I love mixing old and new clothes and jewelry in my looks daily!”
” My locs are a part of my authenticity, and I tend to go for sculpted updos and styles (that I do myself), which add to my style.”
” I’ve submitted a few photos, and more can be found on my blog Consider Me Lovely (www.considermelovely.com).”
Lovely, indeed. Digging your hair, girlfriend. I would have liked to see a bit more variety in your looks–though the A-line midi skirts are different. And most importantly they work for you.

May 3, 2011 3:09 pm
modern styling for vintage pieces. i absolutely love it! I can tell she’s highly influenced by divas from the past.
May 3, 2011 3:16 pm
I love the use of accessories and my fav pic is the all black. You can tell that she is rocking vintage and I LOVE IT!!! I lik the pink skirt look as well.
My only thoughts was the glasses. I assume they are prescription but some pics it takes away the “look”. i.e purple top.
I would hv liked c sum jeans or more casual pics.
Also please try to smile more lik the all blck 1st pic. U hv a great set of choppers:)
Overall B+

I’m diggin’ her style. Everything is vintage and quirky yet extremely wearable. Can’t wait til my locs get long, yours look great!
May 3, 2011 5:55 pm
I love vintage stuff, in particular your skirts (im a skirt gal). You look awesome and your hair? SMH. I can only wish!
May 3, 2011 6:03 pm
Your pictures give me the impression that you don’t love your face! You’re such a gorgeous girl and glasses can be stylish, but you should take them off sometimes. And this is coming from someone who has been hiding behind thick frames since about birth…sometimes I need that reminder to not wear them with a cute outfit because they take away.
That said, I am soo into this! IN LOVE with the gold jacket and pink skirt. I peeped more pics of the ensemble on your blog. It’s so perfectly feminine, original, refreshing, YOU.
I love that you rock vintage pieces with very modern shoes (high heels, platforms, sparkle). I just love the juxtaposition of the modern and old. I think you and your hair is a very timeless look so you can pull it off.
Well done!

SIDENOTE: I SOMETIMES WONDER IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY WEAR THEIR OUTFITS OUTSIDE IN THEIR DAY TO DAY LIFE, OR IF ITS JUST SOMETHING THEY THROW TOGETHER JUST TO TAKE THE PIC….DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? LOL
