You ready for our Bombshell?
Today’s lucky lass is Oromo from Nigeria:
She says, “My style? Well there’s nothing much to say but I dress how I feel.”
“Quite difficult to explain.”
“… Artists express themselves with their artwork but I express myself with clothes.”
“The music I listen to strongly influences my taste.”
“I’m studying Genetics, but I hope to be a stylist one day (though I don’t know how that would sit with my parents!)”
“Check out my blog at www.nevinovatie.tumblr.com.”
Will do! Your style is funky and artistic. I like!
Do you?

She reminds me of Maxine off of “Living Single”. Her style isn’t really my taste but I get it, its cool, its in “fashion”…

African Mami, from site to site, you can be annoying sometimes.
July 2, 2012 1:17 pm
I think she’s so cute, the last outfit with the ankara could’ve been fitted better but totally loving the artsy/I’m hipster vibe.X p.s tell your parents about your dream, you never know!

Her style suits her very well. She looks nice and transitions from various looks effortlessly.
July 2, 2012 1:31 pm
I like her style. She’s cute and quirky and that works for her…
July 2, 2012 1:33 pm
I think her style is adorable and it definitely suits her! Love her use of prints and head adornments!

this faux edgy hipster style is played out. I simply cannot but cute girl tho. Naija girls are always so pretty.

Hott, she reminds me of how a lot of the fashionista in RVA dress. cute style.
July 2, 2012 3:32 pm
the pictures are not even clear, so i dont know what style she is sharing
July 2, 2012 3:58 pm
Toluwa you’re a bastard hater though.Show your own style nau. Oloshi buruku omo oshi..
July 2, 2012 4:25 pm
From one Nigerian to another: not feeling the style at all.
July 2, 2012 4:36 pm
I wanted to love my fellow naija’s style but sadly I didn’t. But it looks great on her, fine girl!-no pimples.
*and you know damn well no Nigerian parent is having you be anything outside sciences or mathematics. But it’s fun to dream no?*

I agree @ Lola. Most of the “bombshells” have that faux hipster look going on and there’s really nothing unique about it.
July 2, 2012 5:07 pm
Coco is so right. Nothing new. I want to see a bombshell, who makes your mouth drop, and gives you new ideas. I use to check out this web almost every day, but not anymore. I am 20year-old and i wish you would put more ”normal” yet cool bombshell on.
July 2, 2012 5:07 pm
ummm no….
July 2, 2012 5:13 pm
Cute style, wish the picture quality was better.
July 2, 2012 5:46 pm
Nice. Style.

All era’s have their signature style, is it possible the “hipster” look will help define the 2010′s? If so, if this is becoming an conventional look, I’m sure the “real” hipster’s will find a new one, lol. And what defines a real histpter vs a faux one anyway..I think to walk around like this, still takes a little courage when every day you see the average person wearing gap t-shirts and jeans. Nothing wrong with playing around with any look, if its grunge, hipster, 80′s, preppy, tailored, etc… At the end of the day, we all have the right to define ourselves and express ourselves – no one owns a particular look.

Im with Amani, wth does “faux hipster” mean anyway? Can’t people just like the hipster look? I feel like this comment comes from people who have a more classic aesthetic and are unwilling to acknowledge any style other than their own.
Nobody calls them out for being “faux preppy”
July 2, 2012 7:08 pm
Also, I love the bombshells look! I think she does a good job balancing prints and silhouettes which is what trips up a lot of people looking for that “hipster vibe”.
July 2, 2012 7:09 pm
She Looks Nice ! Love The Colors !
July 2, 2012 7:21 pm
Not my thing
July 2, 2012 7:27 pm
Go on do your thing ma naija sis!
July 2, 2012 7:29 pm
@Anonymous… bad belle! Watch your mouth you’re not among Nigerians here.
July 2, 2012 7:44 pm

July 2, 2012 8:35 pm
I like the first outfit . But am so over this hipster trend its just so All over the place and people are trying hard to be different but they always end up looking the same . I like a more polished look
July 2, 2012 10:00 pm

July 2, 2012 10:32 pm

@AfricanMami I’m not going to stoop to your level…I just wish you would act like a normal person sometimes or at least take your meds. We get it already, you are African and proud.
