We’ve gotten some great submissions lately for Fashion Bombshell of the Day!
Could it be because a national retailer* was recently scouting for fresh faces in the Bombshell section? Maybe!
At any rate, today’s Bombshell is fab-u-lous. Her name is Iris and she hails from Philadelphia:

She was submitted by her friend Chelsea, who says, “Iris Barbee Bonner is a well known artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.”


“If I had to describe her style it would be artsy, laid back funk :)”


“…She is like the sweetest girl EVER and makes hand painted t-shirts.”

“I know she’d be PERFECT for Fashion Bombshell of the Day.”

“She has a blog at www.thesepinklips.tumblr.com.”

“….She also customizes ANYTHING from t-shirts to even shoes!”



“…Contact her at th***********@gm***.com for price and buying info.”

Cool, funky, and creative? Definitely a Fashion Bombshell. And I’m gonna need one of those shirts, a painting, (and that dress) ASAP!!

*KMart was looking for diverse men and women with great style for their next print campaign. One of their first stops was the Bombshell of the Day section!

  1. feels teyanna taylor-ish…i love to see folk with styles that are not timid. Good look miss!

  2. At first I was like no, then I clicked to see more and I FELL IN LOVE with her look.

  3. Love Love Love her look and everything about her. Fabulous artwork too girlie! Do your thang! :))

  4. jeeeez she looks familiar…youtube….maybe college, idk but I know that face from somewhere!

    Anywho very bold and fun I love DIY types

  5. Maybe ok for a rebellious teenager… Looks disorganized and screams, “LOOT AT ME, PLEASE?”

  6. IA with grace. But with that said, I just said fly, but not my taste. Dont care for it

  7. I love this chick!! She is giving me all kinds of inspiration!!!! I love every single fit frm top 2 bottom. Even her hair is DOPE! Accessories, shoes, colorful everything!!!!

    Now her..right der’ is the BEST FASHION BOMBSHELL EVA..yup i sd it:)

  8. OMG, Absolutely love this bombshell, she’s so unique with a Capitol “U” I need her contact info asap Claire :)

  9. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her style. You go girl have no suggestion nothing negative to say. She looks like she has a blast everyday and thats what style is about. Loving those shoes, is she selling them?

  10. Her artwork is great. I just refuse to take denim cutoffs and graphic tees as “fashion/fly/bombshell” or anything other than just rolled out of bed in my dorm room, late for class and will just wear this crap out the door.

  11. Oh no no no. I do not like this at all. Where is the fashion? On top of that, her makeup is really bad. There’s no cohesiveness in any of her looks. I don’t think random clothing choices and a bold shoe and lip equal fashion.

  12. This post gave me LIFE! I LOVE her hair!!! And her style is SICK! I gotta head to that site and get me a painting AND a t-shirt ASAP!

  13. she has her own thing going for her and that’s great. Definitely a breath of fresh air.

  14. Her style and ora is creative, fun, and unique. Love her use of art with basics to make a shirt go from blah to grunge glam. Amazing, definently a Fashion Bombshell for sure, with a talent too. A+, and love the hair by the way, totally gorgeous. =)

  15. Those pink lips are killing me, but she’s doing her thing and I cannot hate on mama. Philly stand up!

  16. I find that a few Bombshells look like they dress up to take a picture, and then submit (IMO). But I love how Iris’ personal style looks laid back and effortless. Well done!

    Love the paintings as well!

  17. Talk about personality being reflected in one’s style…I love her use of color…and her artwork is def hot!

  18. not a fan. i feel like there are too many elements in her outfits clashing with each other. and in a couple of pics her makeup looks badly blended and the pink lipstick doesn’t compliment her.

  19. mmmm… not in love with all the randomness but i do like her artsy vibe and how its different. its hits and misses for me

  20. God blessed us with Iris! How refreshing! Many thanks to the big homie Chelsea as well!
