We’re ending this week on a Caribbean note with T’wana from the British Virgin Islands:
You may remember, I snapped her pic in my recap of Summer Sizzle BVI. She was kind enough to send in a few flicks for her Bombshell feature:
The stylish mind behind HeelsNPoses.Blogspot.com says, “I grew up in the Caribbean but have been living in the US (now Orlando, Florida) for the last 12 years.”
” As a result I define my style as island chic.”
” I accomplish this by incorporating lots of color into my looks.”
” It just brightens up my day and reminds me a lot of the atmosphere I grew up in.”
” Plus I love the way bright colors compliment my skin tone. =)”
” When I walk into a store I’m always drawn to the edgier pieces first.”
” I love pairing edgier pieces with more feminine items.”
” My fashion philosophy is there are no boundaries with fashion. ”
” If you like it, try it. You’ll never know what works for you until you try it. “
What a stylish way to end the week! Island girl, stand up! Love your use of color, and your unexpected accessories. Love! See more of her style at www.heelsnposes.blogspot.com.

Love the blue dress with the neon print. Funny I know another person by the same name from the BVI lol.
July 27, 2012 1:03 pm
She’s fantastic. Shoe game is stellar.
July 27, 2012 1:04 pm
I like some..
July 27, 2012 1:10 pm
some pieces look so cheap that its starting to give me a headache -__- its about time we actually see a person who defines the word bombshell
July 27, 2012 1:13 pm
Hits and total misses.
July 27, 2012 1:23 pm
Man, you guys are harsh! Sure, she has some knock offs, but she’s well put together and submitted decent pictures. I vote Bombshell!
July 27, 2012 1:29 pm
She loves fashion for sure. She has some nice pieces but a lot of them just don’t go together or sometimes she does too much. Like the colorful dress+colorful shoes (if I ever see those Zara shoes somewhere again..ugh!) + colorful bag…you need to find a balance when you create an outfit. Pretty lady!
July 27, 2012 1:41 pm
Pow Pow Pow….love her look great pieces Nice shoes!!!!!
July 27, 2012 1:42 pm
her floral print dress with the zara heels is cute. the rest are a bunch of gojane clothes, which isn’t bad, i love gojane. but she could have styled their pieces way better.
July 27, 2012 1:44 pm
effortless style
July 27, 2012 1:45 pm
Love it! Edgy + Feminine is my type of style too. And love the colors! #Bombshell
July 27, 2012 1:55 pm
I like the variety….AWESOME STYLE CHICA!!!!
July 27, 2012 1:56 pm
Pretty girl ok style. I liked the orange blazer look, the heart print shorts look, and the sleeveless jacket look ( but I would have worn a different shoe and bag). The rest were okay.
July 27, 2012 2:01 pm
She has nice pieces but does not know how to ensemble them well.
July 27, 2012 2:02 pm
A couple of hits mostly misses.
I have to agree with the girls above, some of those pieces looked really, really cheap (especially the shoes).
I do understand and appreciate her love for her Caribbean roots and her desire to display this through her style, however I do feel as though she could perhaps relay this through her clothing in a more polished, less cluttered look.
July 27, 2012 2:03 pm
I don’t care about a knockoff or knockon its about style and she has is I love the shoes and those black shorts are awesome. She has an eye for detail.
July 27, 2012 2:10 pm
Man… its some haters yo. She rocked it! Thats the thing about fashion– not everyone will understand ur art.. let alone see the vision. #BOMBSHELL INDEED!
July 27, 2012 2:25 pm
She’s cute and colorful. BOMB.
July 27, 2012 2:26 pm
She is creative and not a fashion drone. Her style is bold and inspiring, yet also accessible. Definitely a bombshell!
July 27, 2012 2:48 pm
I love it!!!! and her blog is awesome! She looks fun to be around
July 27, 2012 2:50 pm
very nice !!! she has great legs & knows how to showcase them with those fabu outfits !!!!
July 27, 2012 3:00 pm
I liked the colorful dress pic and the black/white photo…
July 27, 2012 3:05 pm
I voted bombshell!! Her style looks effortless…wonder what some of ya’ll look like. Geesh!
July 27, 2012 3:11 pm
I think that she looks nice and has a cute style. Everyone cant afford the high end brands.
July 27, 2012 3:21 pm
yes bombshell!
July 27, 2012 3:37 pm
Best bombshell in awhile. I really like her. I tend to like edgier pieces as well, so I can respect her hustle! I think she did a great job putting everything together.
July 27, 2012 3:41 pm
@SirWill You could not have said it better.. “not everyone will understand your art”
July 27, 2012 3:51 pm
I’m so sick of you tired crows! Aint none of ya’ll dressing in head to toe in labels and couture. Its obvious y’all just can’t be pleased and many of you are living in a fantasy world of what you think you look like, but I bet the world would beg to differ. Stop using this forum as your sounding board for your misery.
July 27, 2012 4:14 pm
She needs to do something with that hair..
July 27, 2012 4:24 pm
She can do better. I live in orlando, we have tons of malls and shops here. She can do better on clothes and even shoes. We have several discount shoe warehouses and more here….
So, I must say……….. me no likey her style………….lol
July 27, 2012 4:28 pm
This girl style is PERFECT! Almost too perfect….hummmm.lol
July 27, 2012 4:30 pm
Where can I get that dress?
July 27, 2012 4:36 pm
Her dress and shoes are absolutely darling!
July 27, 2012 4:36 pm
Love the colorful dress and color blocked shoes! Her looks embody fresh!
July 27, 2012 4:40 pm
Her shoe game is NICE. I like all of the clothes, just most I would’ve paired with different pieces than what she chose, for me. I am lovin that orange blazer and would love to know where she found it, as well as those black shoes that open in the center! Any thoughts Fashion Bomb?
July 27, 2012 4:43 pm
Hits and misses. Her style needs refining, but she looks young so it will get there with time.
July 27, 2012 5:09 pm
SUPER CUTE, ALL AROUND!! This is a Fashion Bomb… :)
July 27, 2012 5:20 pm
Im kind of over these bombshells doing these “photoshoots” to send in their looks. I’d love more organic or candid photos that seem less orchestrated. I feel like they spent hours putting a few looks together & didnt truly wear the looks. They were just photo looks.
July 27, 2012 5:26 pm
Yep. 85% bombshell!
July 27, 2012 5:49 pm
T’Wana loves her denim doesn’t she? :lol: Fav was when she layered that ruffle denim under the orange blazer. The last pic is also beyond cute.
July 27, 2012 5:50 pm
Yes! Liiiffe…love her style.
July 27, 2012 5:59 pm
I LOVE her personal style! She looks great. AND Rob said it BEST!!! Breathe easy unpaid bootleg fashion critics OR better yet submit your photos rockin’ your Valentino Resort 2013 on the catwalk in Milan, styled by June & photographed by Richard Warren. *rolling my eyes* at those who make it seem like their closet spill’th over w/high end & they nail every look everyday. Let her have her day. Crackin’ up at the negative bitties. giv u a comment box & y’all think u were given a job.
July 27, 2012 6:15 pm
I’m starting to rethink my opinion after some of the comments. lol But my personal take is she looks good. I would vote yes on her. Maybe the items are on the cheaper side but she werks ( go legs..go!) them. Labels and $1500 shoes don’t give you style.
July 27, 2012 6:35 pm
Love your style Twanna!! BVI Massive
July 27, 2012 6:52 pm
I like her style – feminine & effortless!
July 27, 2012 7:00 pm
@ Pat her dress is from Zara but I don’t think its available anymore
July 27, 2012 7:38 pm
The black shorts and the nylons made me cringe but I liked most of her looks. She looks nice and her body is amazing~
July 27, 2012 7:39 pm
I adore her style. Its fun fresh and clean. Just need a new hairdo and makeup!
I am begging some of you “fashion critics” to submit photos. Lets see your catastrophes oops I mean fashion.
July 27, 2012 8:03 pm
she’s got great style
July 27, 2012 8:27 pm
This more than makes up for everything we’ve been through this week.
I have nothing to say really. I love this bombshell. Even though the colors are bright and attention grabbing, she manages to not get lost in her clothing. Bravo!!!
July 27, 2012 8:33 pm
she had one hit. the rest of her stuff i can find at the Slauson Swapmeet.
July 27, 2012 8:37 pm
Love, Love, Love! Bombshell, indeed!
July 27, 2012 9:03 pm
Nice pairings and great additions of color!!
July 27, 2012 9:53 pm
Luv everything!! BOMBSHELL!!
July 27, 2012 10:49 pm
She does have a very out the box way of putting her outfits together but that doesn’t stop her from being a bombshell. Luckily she doesn’t go way over the top.
July 28, 2012 4:57 am
Some makeup could really go a long way for her.
July 28, 2012 1:14 pm
love the floral dress
July 28, 2012 6:28 pm
Fashion is not about following trends…be you and set them!
Love her style!
Check out @BiteMyFashB on Insta

Soo many haters on here! Beautiful (natural) girl, no make- up needed, and great style… Bombshell fa sho
July 28, 2012 9:14 pm
She has cute style…there are def some pieces in her wardrobe I would rock! Loves it!
July 29, 2012 2:22 pm
“cheap” or not, I like. Her style is effortless, sexy and chic. I really love the orange pants. There are articles that I would love to wear.
July 29, 2012 8:58 pm
don’t love the way all the pieces are put together, but i enjoyed this post. her shoe game is crazy!
July 30, 2012 9:20 am
Cute style
July 30, 2012 10:26 am
You don’t have to wear labels to be a fashion bombshell…
But she looks like she trying… its not effortless thats the only thing that bothers me. Loved the flower dress and blue color blocking shoes. That was her best look!
August 7, 2012 1:12 pm
the colorful dress was the best. as for everything else, i’ll pass.
