Today’s fly Bombshell is Toronto resident, Brenda:
The blogger for CanNeverBeaSkinnyBish.ca writes, “I currently reside in Toronto but I’m originally from Cameroon.”
“My style is very feminine…”
“… and girly.”
” I have a thing for colors and prints…”
“… especially African print!”
“I don’t try to be anyone else with my style, especially since I’m on a tight budget!”
” I like to mix old pieces with 1 new item rather than buying an entire new outfit.”
“I draw my inspiration from fellow bloggers like myself…”
“… as well as colors I see everyday.”
“I don’t like following trends.”
” I go more on a “what looks good on me” vibe. ”
Cute and colorful. I love it! You play well with patterns, and have some great accessories. Bombshell!

Very cute, relatable style, great figure.
Happy Bob Marley Day my fellow Torontonian!
February 6, 2013 12:39 pm
Love!
February 6, 2013 12:44 pm
I really love her style. Everything is put together perfectly!
February 6, 2013 12:44 pm
ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz. What’s up with these dramatic explanations for boring to no style? Save the virtual space and just say “Can y’all tell me if I can dress”
February 6, 2013 12:56 pm
Suddenly I got very sleepy.
February 6, 2013 12:57 pm
Is it just my phone or is the poll missing?
February 6, 2013 12:58 pm
What’s up with all the dramatic explanations for boring/weak to no style? “I get my style from, my style is..” Please stop it.
February 6, 2013 12:59 pm
“I don’t like following trends.”
basically everything she’s wearing is a “trend”
February 6, 2013 1:05 pm
I have to agree with tif….everything was on trend, which is not a bad thing at all, just contradicts what she perceives her fashion style to be.
February 6, 2013 1:11 pm
I just look at pictures, I don’t even read anymore. Everybody says “I don’t follow trends”.
February 6, 2013 1:12 pm
However, I love each outfit. Bombshell!
February 6, 2013 1:15 pm
Miss Claire!! You need to bring back the “Cute, but not my style” option lol.
February 6, 2013 1:16 pm
cute girl…well done.
February 6, 2013 1:16 pm
too much going on for me but lookin nice my african sister:)
February 6, 2013 1:16 pm
This is a bomb shell that multi colored dress oh my gawddd!!!!!! Yasssssss gurl!!
February 6, 2013 1:16 pm
Very stylish and very trendy Loved some of her outfits and than some of her outfits were just Blah! She’s a bit too trendy for my taste though.
February 6, 2013 1:22 pm
I wasn’t impressed until I saw that multicolored long sleeve dress or short top combo. After that bombshell all the way.
February 6, 2013 1:31 pm
She’s cute and her style is cute but no individuality. I feel like I’ve seen her look(hair and clothes) on so many women.
February 6, 2013 1:43 pm
That gorgeous printed maxi skirt!
February 6, 2013 1:56 pm
I like her style; she looks cute.
February 6, 2013 2:08 pm
Its def a trend especially that green aztec ikat skirt everyone has that asos skirt
February 6, 2013 2:17 pm
Does everyone have the same boring poses? sheesh
February 6, 2013 2:17 pm
i like her and her ‘fits..she’s cute
February 6, 2013 2:18 pm
She is sooo beautiful. I love all she puts on
February 6, 2013 2:20 pm
Nice! Love the maxi skirt, off to blog to get the details.
February 6, 2013 2:24 pm
Very cute girl but she’s like a caricature of what pseudo fashionistas/fashion bloggers think they should look like, down to the way she poses . A pudding of different trends but no real individuality.
February 6, 2013 2:25 pm
very nice. my fave bombshell in a while.
February 6, 2013 2:33 pm
I think she looks great, and the name of her blog is hilarious. I like her vibrant style. I agree lots of it was trendy, but boring? Nope. I think anyone who feels the need to be malicious opposed to constructive should be able to embed a pic of how much better they are along with their comments!
February 6, 2013 2:42 pm
I like her style. I absolutely love that color blocked long sleeve dress and her sequined booties! Bombshell!
February 6, 2013 2:55 pm
I enjoyed her looks. Those gold booties paired with the all black ensemble were fab! I love her bright patterns too.
February 6, 2013 2:59 pm
not bad…
February 6, 2013 3:07 pm
Didn’t love it…but the name of that blog is pretty awesome.
February 6, 2013 3:07 pm
Bombshell… I love her style !!! GOOD JOB !!!!
February 6, 2013 3:09 pm
It’s ok. I like the AfroMaxi.
February 6, 2013 3:10 pm
Very Nice…
February 6, 2013 3:29 pm
pretty girl. love her dresses!!!!
February 6, 2013 3:32 pm
Yes ma’am! Bombshell!
February 6, 2013 3:41 pm
Bombshell every picture is great. The only thing I’d say negative was that the shoes were too much for the polka dot/strip outfit.
February 6, 2013 3:44 pm
Um, no.
February 6, 2013 3:45 pm
She is very trendy and I’m not inspired
February 6, 2013 4:10 pm
some hits, some misses, cute girl. I ironically find her style to be incredibly trendy.
February 6, 2013 4:15 pm
I like her maxi skirts and gray harem pants
February 6, 2013 4:27 pm
She is wearing so many trends that it makes her look typical and not special whatsoever. I’ve seen the hair, the clothes, and the shoes a thousand times over. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s submission brings.
February 6, 2013 4:31 pm
Serious snoozefest ‘i dont follow trends’ but the color block, leather, aztec, ands the rest are a contradiction to that. Her blog is annoying and she has the same pose. Love the black crop top though
February 6, 2013 4:32 pm
Bombshell!! I love her style and already follow her blog!
February 6, 2013 4:39 pm
Loving today’s Bombshell. Quite stylish.
February 6, 2013 4:44 pm
Bombshell! Very cute!
February 6, 2013 4:48 pm
PRETTY Girl.. her personality and confidence makes the outfit. not the other way around.
February 6, 2013 5:02 pm
Cute style
February 6, 2013 5:39 pm
I likey!
February 6, 2013 5:39 pm
I likey!!
February 6, 2013 5:40 pm
I like her style.
February 6, 2013 7:41 pm
She’s rather fabulous
February 6, 2013 7:56 pm
Short ppl+maxi anything=null value! Please stop it!
February 6, 2013 8:07 pm

i think you look super cute, love the gold booties, the printed maxi and id club u over the head for the long sleeved color blocked dress! lol
muah!!!!
(yay so excited for a cameroonian bombshell, i think youre the first one??)
February 6, 2013 8:10 pm
do more trends at once please…there are just NOT ENOUGH trends per outfit. This is downright minimalistic. /sarcasm x 1000
February 6, 2013 8:24 pm
I loved a lot of the pieces individually, but when she puts too many of them together it gets fuzzy (for lack of better words)
February 6, 2013 8:25 pm
She has found her style and its really cute. I like her alot
February 7, 2013 9:49 am
Like seriously….there’s too much happening on every pic !!! Nice pieces individually but the combos are a bit much. Btw I went to her blog, she has the same poses and she talks wayyy too much abut herself..
February 7, 2013 9:52 am
*about
February 7, 2013 10:51 am
I also have to agree, I like the pieces individually, but not all put together, I almost feel like things are just randomly put together sometimes with no goal in mind. You are a beautiful girl, my constructive feedback is, you need to work on editing, instead of loading up on all these trends and pieces, find one or two on trend pieces and play on them with some classics. You will def. look more polished. I will say you did a good job with the black and red outfit.
February 7, 2013 1:36 pm
I LOVE the turquoise, purple, and pink printed dress, the pants from the first look, and the entire last look! Great job, hun!
February 7, 2013 4:27 pm
Well done! I like!
February 7, 2013 10:15 pm
love the african print skirt, love the polka dot palazzo pants, sweet!
February 7, 2013 11:53 pm
Ok… just like aj said, she really has nice stuff individually but she can’t seem to put them together right. Plus I just went on her blog and she has a video !?!!!Like it seems more of a diary (she talks about herself too much) than a fashion blog.
February 8, 2013 12:08 am
Cute style. ;)
February 8, 2013 10:03 am
my favourite is the polka dot top with the pink white and blue skirt… very cute!
February 10, 2013 11:22 pm
Yes! More African Canadians please! Woop Wooop!
February 11, 2013 3:23 pm
I love the african pieces..
February 26, 2013 11:43 am
I like her looks a lot although she is more of trendy than original so I am not inspired.Please feature Wendy’s Lookbook http://www.wendyslookbook.com/
