To bless my upcoming trip to Atlanta, I decided to pick stylist Olori Swank from the Peach State for Bombshell of the Day:
The stylist and blogger for www.OloriSwank.com actually styles Dawn Richard, several NFL Athletes, and the current Miss Georgia USA Kaylin Reque.
She’s also the current fashion editor for Kraze Magazine (www.Krazemag.com).
She says, “My style is very emotional.”
“… It all depends on how I feel…”
“… what I’m inspired by,”
“..And/or what I am trying to convey that day.”
“I recently (June 2011) started blogging about my personal style.”
” I’m super new to the whole personal style blog thing but I’m having so much fun sharing my outfits with the world….”
“…and learning how to work a blog in the process.”
This, ladies, is style. From prim and prissy, to short and sassy, to funky and fab, Olori’s got it all. Ow! Check out more of her style and work at www.OloriSwank.com.
Fashion Bombshell of the Day is a feature showcasing the singular style of Fashion Bomb Readers. Send your name, location, a description of your style, and your picture(s) to thefashionbomb@gmail.com.

August 19, 2011 1:14 pm
Hunnie, that shoe game…YES!

August 19, 2011 1:29 pm
The shoes, I die! The hair I can’t get jiggy with : / Her style rocks overall, she can put those pieces together …somebody believes in her so I ain’t mad at ha’!
August 19, 2011 1:30 pm
Niceeeee! Love the leopard print shorts outfit! HOT.
August 19, 2011 1:38 pm
I like the black and white polka dot dress w/ the black heels and the multicolored dress with the sneakers
August 19, 2011 1:42 pm
I usually dont comment.. But frm a former feature of bombshell.. She is dopeness!
August 19, 2011 1:43 pm
I LOVE HER SHOES!!!! I would love to see her shoe collection. HOT!!!
August 19, 2011 1:43 pm
Very Nice!
August 19, 2011 1:46 pm
Really? I can’t consign most of her looks, shoes are killer though.
August 19, 2011 1:53 pm
I actually love the hair; it gives edge and she wears it well.
August 19, 2011 1:54 pm
LOVE her style! That leopard sweater with the striped dress totally looks like something I would wear…and yes, her shoe game is something serious. Great pick!
August 19, 2011 1:54 pm
[...] Thanks to fashionista Claire from Fashion Bomb Daily for highlighting one of our [...]
August 19, 2011 1:58 pm
Very nice looks. I too, am distracted by the hair.
August 19, 2011 1:59 pm
Shoes shoes shoes! The waist coat, the blazer lawwwd! So many pieces I would wear, I wouldn’t be as daring in how I paired them, but her style is definitely on point.
August 19, 2011 2:05 pm
DOPENESS. I would love to raid her closet. The last look is gorgy.
August 19, 2011 2:10 pm
Hmm..some hits and some definitely misses. Lol. Some nice individual pieces but hmmmm at some of the outfits.
August 19, 2011 2:10 pm
I love the clothing, but I’m not too fond of the hair. Maybe its the blue that’s throwing me off.
August 19, 2011 2:19 pm
I like her style great individual pieces…shoe game is official…Hot!
August 19, 2011 2:24 pm
Her hair is a total distraction from her looks. I would have rated her higher if she was a civilian, but for a stylist I am not really a fan. I love her shoes, but that’s about it.
August 19, 2011 2:26 pm
Great post! I absolutely love it! Her blog is also amazing. This woman is practical and fashionable.
August 19, 2011 2:30 pm
I like most of her outfits but she can miss me with that hair. It looks like Rufio from Hook.
August 19, 2011 2:51 pm
my style is more conservative so i luv the print dress on her !!!, the others look fab on her also just not my style :) great pick
August 19, 2011 2:52 pm
Finally a “stylist” who is actually a stylist! I love the blazers with the shorts and shoe game is definitely proper. Call me conservative, but I just can’t with the hair. There’s a fine line b/w hood and edgy/chic….
August 19, 2011 2:53 pm
my 1st thought was “cool hat”!
then i realized it was her hair =/
idk….her style is a bit too extra for me
but i always love to see ppl wearing their expression on they’re sleeve…and feet….and head lol
August 19, 2011 2:57 pm
Hot. Leopard shorts, sequined bag…. <3
August 19, 2011 3:09 pm
Interesting..
August 19, 2011 3:17 pm
would rock everything girl it hot
August 19, 2011 3:34 pm
She looks like she has fun when she gets dressed. I do not like her hair, but those shoes with the chiffon looking bow tie are simply swell.
August 19, 2011 3:46 pm
I CAN DIG IT…WERK MAMA WERK!!!
August 19, 2011 3:50 pm
I think I have found my holy grail blog
August 19, 2011 3:52 pm
Hit and mess again. I like almost every other look. Hate the one with the dress and sneakers and the one with the striped dress and cheap leopard print cardigan. Don’t care for the casual ripped tee paired with the snakeskin leggings either. Should have chose one or the other and kept it simple
August 19, 2011 3:58 pm
The shoes gurl – the shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 19, 2011 3:59 pm
I like her style, but the hair kept throwing me off.
August 19, 2011 4:31 pm
She is cute as a button!!! Love her style!
August 19, 2011 4:37 pm
Her blog is dope! *two thumbs up*
August 19, 2011 4:44 pm
I like her shoes
August 19, 2011 5:02 pm
I am LOVING her hair!!!! for that alone, she ROCKS! then to top it off, I’ve also got the blue RL blazer she’s rocking with the cream shorts so she ROCKS even harder. Add to that her overall swag and her actual SENSE of fashion… this girl is a definite 10!
August 19, 2011 5:14 pm
SHE IS THE BUSINESS!!!!!!! Hats off… No need to dissect each pic, she is overall FAB!!!
August 19, 2011 5:37 pm
Girl is not only on fire…she’s burning..She has crazy hair but its tasteful and chic! Everything about her I dig..100% Nothing else to say..
August 19, 2011 5:59 pm
I agree, she does have style. Her looks isn’t giving me its a photo shoot day like most. I couldn’t be as daring with hair but again thats not my style. Its nice seeing someone who’s has a style that speaks volumes about their personality and not outfits you see everyday at the mall. Work mami!
August 19, 2011 6:13 pm
Love the fact that she is from the A and she is a bull dawg. Love her style.
August 19, 2011 6:16 pm
She has great style for the most part, but some of the outfits are misses. She has a fab shoes and that black and white blazer is the business.
August 19, 2011 6:33 pm
Cute!
August 19, 2011 7:14 pm
I’m inspired by her looks..I would wear each outfit…..Not too fond of the hair….I dislike that “shaved head look” ever since Cassie debuted it!
August 19, 2011 7:42 pm
lolol yeah I def agree with everyone this girl is F-L-Y and I love that she seems to mix all her looks with a punk rock element, I do that too sometimes and wish I could do it all the time like that prep school blazer with her punk hair, one word DOPE!
August 19, 2011 8:43 pm
WERK!!!
August 19, 2011 8:44 pm
2 snaps in a circle love it!!
August 19, 2011 8:53 pm
i L O V E !!! L U V !!! <3 this her style!!!! Goodness!!!
August 19, 2011 9:10 pm
Awesome style but the hair could polished but still funky and extreme.
August 19, 2011 10:26 pm
she makes me really want a pair of lagassi….like really really
August 19, 2011 11:29 pm
definitely a boom shell luv luv luv her looks
August 19, 2011 11:33 pm
HOTNESSSSSSS!!!! I get it. I really do. She works in a trendy fast paced industry and her style is a complete and total reflection of that. For those of you who do not like her hair…to each his own. I own a government consulting firm and my style is a reflection of my clientele and environment. Prim, proper, classy and a bit sassy. Olori – good job. From one entrepreneur to another – show em’ how its done!
August 19, 2011 11:37 pm
LOVE IT! YOU better werk!
August 20, 2011 12:18 am
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of her looks!!! I could do witout the hair though.
August 20, 2011 1:57 am
I’m loving all of her looks and her hair is awesome!!!
August 20, 2011 3:46 am
Fab shoes but cheap looking clothes and hair…unfortunately.
August 20, 2011 3:47 am
I love how she mixes high-end with low end affordable pieces
August 20, 2011 6:18 am
Ah, a fashion rebel no doubt. Her style is the very epitome of the Black Fashion American Culture. It matches her inner Stylist.
August 20, 2011 11:46 am
Nice.
August 20, 2011 12:22 pm
I’m LIVINGGGGGGGGGG for this bombshell right now!! YESSSSSSSSS!
August 20, 2011 7:43 pm
Style is great. The hair is distracting!
August 20, 2011 10:27 pm
I usually just observe, but I am so in love with the hair!Being a person who loves everything hair and especially loves seeing
when someone can get creative & take their hair to a whole other level…this was hot! And of course so were the shoes and clothing pieces she rocked!
August 21, 2011 12:12 am
O MY GAAHHHHH She is FIERCENESS personified! Awesome pick. I just love her edgy-ness and the way she can still keep it classy. LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!
August 21, 2011 12:14 am
Im inspired!! She is reppin my adopted hometown! AND THE SHOES…shes killem them. THANKS CLAIRE!
August 21, 2011 5:17 pm

August 21, 2011 5:34 pm
werk!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 21, 2011 10:49 pm
most of her looks fierce. only 1 was kind of a hot mess but the rest? HOOOOTTTT!
August 21, 2011 10:50 pm
The black and white blazer is from forever 21. I just saw it yesterday while browsing
August 21, 2011 11:46 pm
Definitely taking tips from her. Normally over the top pieces seem too extra for me but i like the way she puts her pieces together. She’s inspiration for me to step out of my safe comfort zone.
August 21, 2011 11:55 pm
General question & I really need to know if it is just me…
why is it now considered fashion to wear shorts so short that the darker ridge underneath cheeks is visible?
why is it now considered fashionable to wear a skirt so short that it is obvious that an accident is 1 move/breeze away?
August 22, 2011 2:25 am
A Winner!!!
August 22, 2011 3:59 am
Her hair is EVERYTHING! my fav outfit is the one with the white blazer and leopard print shorts…I would totally rock the hell out of that!
August 22, 2011 7:12 am
10/10 to this girl. WOW!
August 22, 2011 12:34 pm
I love everything but the blue hair.
August 22, 2011 12:53 pm
WOW take notes ppl! this girl is amazing! I see why its her job to style ppl!
August 22, 2011 5:42 pm

August 23, 2011 9:38 am
I like her style bc you would think that her hair would have her in a box but she does the prep look, laid back, and dressy all well! I’m feeling it
August 23, 2011 1:03 pm
Awesomeness!
