You guys weren’t too jazzed with yesterday’s Bombshell. Hopefully Niama from Brooklyn will get a warmer reception!
She says, “I’m from Brooklyn, NY originally, I stopped in D.C. for almost a decade as many Howard alumni do; however, I am currently living in London, UK finishing grad school.”
“It may seem trite but if I had to describe my style the best word would certainly be eclectic.”
“You can catch me in jeans, a vintage bowtie, a fedora & oxfords just as easily as you might see me in fitted dress and heels.”
” I make it a point to visit a vintage market in whatever city I may be in whether Amsterdam, New York, LA, or here in London as I often mix vintage pieces with contemporary items.”
” Some of the clothes and jewelry I wear come from independent designers, and sometimes are one-of-a-kind pieces.”
” The bottom line for me when I’m getting dressed is: “Do I feel amazing wearing this?” If so, I wear the hell out of it!”
“… Sometimes it may be hard to put a label on my style but my look is always a reflection of me and the many different parts that have made me a whole.”
Another strong submission. I love your first and last looks the most, and need details on your printed halter dress. I’m in love!

I also love the 1st and last looks; I’d do a double take if I saw that walking down the street. Very NYC.
Not feeling her style, but I do like her ivory/taupe platform pumps.
I cant get past the makeup. i do however love the locks especially when she lets them flow. i liked the maxi dress. no to everything else. I woulda loved to see the jeans/fedora/oxford combo.. totally going to do that this saturday! thanks!
I love love love the first look. That fabric is gorgeous…the whole look gets a two thumbs up for me.
I don’t hate it, but I don’t like it either. Great body and I can see that your personality shines through very well.I love the blue and white vintage dress, amazing! Please work on your makeup, it’s just too much.Reminds me of those island girs that got too much going on. The greens and the blues on your lips age you, and too much dark eye liner makes you look a little crazy!
It’s “CARNIVAL” for her everyday I guess. No thanks.
No ma’am
THE MAKE UP IS OFF ITS BORDLINE SCARY IT RUIN A LOT OF THE YOUR OUT FIT!
Outfits!
Clown chic?
DEATH @ “it’s carnival for her everyday” lmao I’m done with y’all, done, finished over lol
No. Just, NO.
I would actually say that several of these dresses need to be destroyed. The floral jersey, that Mondrian atrocity and the lace too-tight number. She is a pretty lady, why intentionally do THIS to yourself?
. . .If i say yes, I wear the hell out of it! Yes ma’am go in and let. them. have. it.!
This is just as bad as yesterday’s!
My problem is her makeup. It just doesn’t work. I agree, nice body and great hair. It’s time to change EVERYTHING!
Unique style! You are not afraid to be you. Your clothing speaks alot about your personality! Fun, fun, fun!!
Her style is alright. Definitely needs to step up the make-up game by evening out the skin with a little primer, foundation and tinted powder; and those eyes-needs to choose better eye-make colours and work on the application.
She has a really cute body though.
I love the first dress, the look is very polished and well thought out but after that I find a couple of the looks unflattering to her body and the others just, meh.
There is almost a disconnect between the girl in the 1st photo and the girl in the rest of the photos. First look is very sophisticated, traveled woman chic, from the makeup, hair, accessories, etc but the others are kinda junior and inexpensive party girl. Very bi-polar style….
But that’s just my two cents so who cares?!
ILL…THEM HIPS THOUGH!
#CRINGE
Love the last look but lose the green lipstick. Many of the looks may be cute, but the clown make-up throws it off completely…No bombshell here NEXTTTT–>
can we please see SOMETHING good this week? i like these for style inspirations and this week has SUCKED. can i see something like on http://ninistyle.net/ level so i can be inspired. these people look like they are just playing dress up in a thrift store. i would like to discover more fashionistas that are STYLISH i know claire cant cosign yesterday and today!? she doesnt even dress crappy, she cant like this.
The makeup is a distraction but her body is banging (I know that isn’t a bombshell requirement) and I really like 2 or 3 of her looks. I call for a do-over.
I like these outfits, but I think they would look better on someone else. Just saying.
Girllllla I live for some of these outfits, let me borrow the color block tube top dress and the blue and white patterned dress… oh and can I borrow the hips too?
Not my style and agreed Aliana the Asian chick with the loubs is fierce BUT I think Claire’s blog open arms ladies of all colors..body types and ages..celebrating unique style that may or may not resonate with all of us ..you can’t deny this chick is a stand out..and her life is inspiring to me if not her style. Grad school in the UK? Nice.
NO just NO!
her body is banging???? with rough textured looking knees, the sloppy looking saddle bags and the low hanging breasts?
More proof that aa women are fooled into believing big cellulite legs & thick/ wide sloppy booties are anything other than O B E S I T Y.
2 for 2 this week. Not feeling it …
loved some of her looks, mainly the last one with the blue lipstick! the blue lipstick was fun! u go girl! there’s nothing wrong with having fun with your makeup and trying new things!
Nothing
Please bring us the best bombshell
i am tired with this
Damn….some of you are soooo hurtful. What is going on in your lives that you must unleash such hateful words. No one will have the same shape, knees, hair, height etc. We must respect others for who they are and move on. How would you feel if others said the same about you? I don’t buy “they wont say this or that about me because I look good”. Don’t be so naive. The fact is she has her own style and yes the makeup needs to be lighter to highlight her features. Other than that her style is cool. Is it something I can pull off…no but it works for her.
@italianbombshell OBVIOUSLY it doesnt have to be an asian girl and it doesnt have to be louboutins. it just needs to be more people with actual style that website was an example of how much more there is out there. besides these past two we saw! they sucked! were u inspired by this girls clothes???? i know claire cant BE!
@italianbombshell ninistyle is just one example of what more is out there in reference to blogger style icons and what a fashion bomb of the day should look like.
doesnt have to be asian or expensive labels obviously that was just an example.
this post and the day before sucked and i dont think anyone was inspired! especially not claire. LOL i dunno why she posts these crappy ones
Kudos mama!! I love your outfits, your body shape is cute! Alot of these females bashing on here, are too scared to post themselves because they would simply be denied for being too basic. I love that you incorporate colors, I can tell your personality is reflected in the clothes you wear. Keep doing you boo!!
I am not sure why people must be cruel. Even if you don’t agree with a persons’ PERSONAL style; there are ways to give constructive criticism without being harsh or tacky. With that being said, I think that Niama is a beautiful woman of color who has her OWN sense of personal style.
By a show of posts, how many of the commentators have actually submitted or been selected as the Bombshell? The remarks and downright disses are offensive.
Everybody is trying to be an individual while getting style right!
I saw you across the room in that pink & red & blue dress/ tan dress. Let’s dance.
I’d like her to invest in spanx and a BRA to limit long cleavage.
I love the last look, even the green lipstick! Bklyn stand up!!
