  1. Yasss, I like her a lot !!! And Claire you nailed her description. Polished yet fly and not overly done. This is the result of editing your looks.

  2. old mixed with new, expensive mixed with more affordable. Trends mixed with classic mixed with YOU. Cute face and a perfect haircut to match. Make up on point. Clothes well fit. I’m not a fan of all the pumps, but hey, this is as perfect as we usually get. You ma’am, are a bombshell and I’d love to see more.

  3. BOOM!!! fashionbombshell…..I’m loving everything- Color, texture, shape, lines. As an African women I fall deeper in love with this blog!!!! Where else can I go right now and get so many iterations of black diaspora fashion and intelligent dialogue?

  4. Yebo mama! Nice and goes to show one can look nice, classy, stylish and hot without showing all your “goodies”…
