We’ve gotten some great submissions lately for Fashion Bombshell of the Day!
Could it be because a national retailer* was recently scouting for fresh faces in the Bombshell section? Maybe!
At any rate, today’s Bombshell is fab-u-lous. Her name is Iris and she hails from Philadelphia:
She was submitted by her friend Chelsea, who says, “Iris Barbee Bonner is a well known artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.”
“If I had to describe her style it would be artsy, laid back funk :)”
“…She is like the sweetest girl EVER and makes hand painted t-shirts.”
“I know she’d be PERFECT for Fashion Bombshell of the Day.”
“She has a blog at www.thesepinklips.tumblr.com.”
“….She also customizes ANYTHING from t-shirts to even shoes!”
“…Contact her at thesepinklips@gmail.com for price and buying info.”
Cool, funky, and creative? Definitely a Fashion Bombshell. And I’m gonna need one of those shirts, a painting, (and that dress) ASAP!!
*KMart was looking for diverse men and women with great style for their next print campaign. One of their first stops was the Bombshell of the Day section!
Fashion Bombshell of the Day is a feature that showcases the singular style of Fashion Bomb Readers. Send your name, location, a description of your style, and your picture(s) to thefashionbomb@gmail.com.

In hair lust
June 2, 2011 3:54 pm
Maybe ok for a rebellious teenager… Looks disorganized and screams, “LOOT AT ME, PLEASE?”
June 2, 2011 4:07 pm
IA with grace. But with that said, I just said fly, but not my taste. Dont care for it
June 2, 2011 4:18 pm

June 2, 2011 7:49 pm
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her style. You go girl have no suggestion nothing negative to say. She looks like she has a blast everyday and thats what style is about. Loving those shoes, is she selling them?
June 2, 2011 8:18 pm
Loves it! Her tees and all of her artwork are fly; Teyanna Taylor wish she could…
June 2, 2011 9:15 pm
Her artwork is great. I just refuse to take denim cutoffs and graphic tees as “fashion/fly/bombshell” or anything other than just rolled out of bed in my dorm room, late for class and will just wear this crap out the door.
June 2, 2011 10:00 pm
Those painted boots are the stuff that dreams are made of! Love ‘em!!! Excellent Bombshell!
June 2, 2011 10:12 pm
Oh no no no. I do not like this at all. Where is the fashion? On top of that, her makeup is really bad. There’s no cohesiveness in any of her looks. I don’t think random clothing choices and a bold shoe and lip equal fashion.
June 2, 2011 10:16 pm
@LivvyV yes she does! hit up her email for buying
June 2, 2011 10:18 pm
Definitely working her creativity. Love it
June 2, 2011 10:23 pm
she is AMAZING love love love! I need that dress!
June 2, 2011 10:49 pm
Oh Ms Iris is DOING THE DAMN THING! Can we say VINTAGE COLOR BLOGGING? Mama you are a Picasso after my own heart.
June 2, 2011 11:31 pm
This post gave me LIFE! I LOVE her hair!!! And her style is SICK! I gotta head to that site and get me a painting AND a t-shirt ASAP!
June 2, 2011 11:47 pm
finally someone different!
June 3, 2011 1:04 am
she has her own thing going for her and that’s great. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
June 3, 2011 7:07 am
Her style and ora is creative, fun, and unique. Love her use of art with basics to make a shirt go from blah to grunge glam. Amazing, definently a Fashion Bombshell for sure, with a talent too. A+, and love the hair by the way, totally gorgeous. =)
June 3, 2011 8:04 am
Those pink lips are killing me, but she’s doing her thing and I cannot hate on mama. Philly stand up!
June 3, 2011 9:36 am
Love the hair, and her painting in yellow.
June 3, 2011 9:54 am
One of my favorite bombshells!
June 3, 2011 11:03 am
OMG! Love Her!
June 3, 2011 11:27 am
Amazing!
June 3, 2011 11:46 am
I find that a few Bombshells look like they dress up to take a picture, and then submit (IMO). But I love how Iris’ personal style looks laid back and effortless. Well done!
Love the paintings as well!
June 3, 2011 12:38 pm
She is amazing
June 3, 2011 5:29 pm
This chick is the bomb.com. she is living out loud for sure. LOVE
June 3, 2011 9:11 pm
WOW! Speechless! She is beyond fab! I love it! And we share a unique quality, HAIR!
June 4, 2011 1:53 pm
YES she is what we ALL can call a bombshell, we love you iris
June 4, 2011 7:00 pm
Talk about personality being reflected in one’s style…I love her use of color…and her artwork is def hot!
June 5, 2011 12:54 am
Love Iris!! Her style is effortless!
June 5, 2011 11:19 am
not a fan. i feel like there are too many elements in her outfits clashing with each other. and in a couple of pics her makeup looks badly blended and the pink lipstick doesn’t compliment her.
June 6, 2011 12:28 pm
mmmm… not in love with all the randomness but i do like her artsy vibe and how its different. its hits and misses for me
June 7, 2011 9:26 am
God blessed us with Iris! How refreshing! Many thanks to the big homie Chelsea as well!
January 11, 2012 6:50 pm
Thanks to the fashion bomb for showcasing her paintings, i actually bought the last one with the girl in glasses
