It’s been a bit of a slow week here on the The Fashion Bomb, but we’re going to kick start the year in earnest with the first Bombshell of 2013, Nicolette from Maryland:
She writes, “I would describe my style as: A Colorful Classy Splash of Vintage Freshness.”
“…The 80s and 90s era inspires my style. Many clothes during the 80s and 90s era had structure, shapes, and were also very bright and colorful.”
“I am Nigerian-American and get inspired and wear a popular African cloth called “Ankara””
“I always wear vibrant and colorful clothing.”
” My outgoing personality also reflects this “bright and colorful” sense of style that I have.”
“I get 98% of my clothes from a thrift or vintage store and I usually wear clothes people do not see in a popular store or mall.”
“Two famous people I look up to,fashion wise: Janelle Monae & Rihanna.”

Love the colors and her maxi skirts!
love her style. hate that wig chile!
Unique style, bold and vibrant prints but the hair is very distracting
Pretty girl, okay style. Horrible wig, but she is rocking those natural looks!
When I first saw the Pics with the long hair, I thought she´s Azealia Banks for a minute lol
No. No. No. I can say I like her use of colors…other than that….No. No. No.
Camel toe is a no.
Yesssss
I hate any pictures in the bathroom, especially with the toilet showing. But I loved her imagination with fashion!
TOO DAMN LITERAL. Goodbye!!
it’s a no for me, babe…
The look with the shorts and bow tie was very cute.
There was only one outfit I didn’t care for – pretty woman
Everyone is going up vote Bombshell because she’s Nigerian. Smh
I’m not impressed.
to*
Not bad… Good start for 2013
I respect personal style, but I’m personally not a fan. She’s dead wrong for that hair though!!!
Not that excited about her style. It’s okay to me a little redundant especially the shoes.
Cute style, I love the outfit with the white pants and the printed maxi. Super cute!
I LOVE the African patterns!!! Kente is winning!
She totally reminds me of Azealia Banks.
I LIKE HER STYLE BUT I GUESS THE SLIGHT MAJORITY DISAGREES
She has room to grow fashionwise. Keep at it. and LOOSE the wig. I mean SOLANGE was voted fashionista of the year on this site.. if nowhere else i would encourage my fellow black women to post with YOUR natural hair, permed, relaxed, not relaxed.. i think it looks better.. and most of all, it will be embraced.. lol *this is a safe place***…
Love the maxi skirt!
For me its some its some hits and misses. I like the kente bow clutch and belt idea but it was over kill. Over all she is a bombshell!
No. And double-no to that wig
The weave/wigs are not a good look for her. She looks beautiful with the natural looks. Pretty girl and her style is her style not my cup up of tea
She looks great with the more natural hairstyles. That Barbie hair is awful.
It is lose as in get rid of not loose as in the opposite of tight.
@Coralie, I thought the same as well
Hits and misses for me *shrugs*
“This is a safe place” :lol: on so many levels. Pretty girl, okay style.
It’s not my style but several of her outfits really suited her and she described her approach well: mixing Western vintage with West African textiles. She did that.
And dip-dyed hair was all the rage in ’12 (according to VibeVixen you’ll see more in ’13), she decided to keep a current trend with her unique styling. (Insert Jamaican accent) Leave ‘er.
that pink print flowy skirt is ON POINT !
Her natural hair is BEAUTIFUL. The wig looks flamable though :-/. I am impartial to her looks, but think she’s a beautiful girl!
She was working that white dress. Hot.
She nailed it. I love all her looks.
The blue printed blouse and white pants, and the black shirt and red/orange shorts were her bests for me. I think this style fits her and is safe for her, but she should try other things as well. The wig is an absolute no ma’am.
I can’t with this! While I love her use of color, her pieces were all wrong!!!
Some hits some misses. She looks like Azealea Banks.
Hot!!!
Very pretty girl! She looks great with the braids and natural hair, but that wig needs to be beaten, burned, then buried. I like her use of color and love the white, white legged pants with the brightly colored shirt.
We all love to dress fashionably and get complemented on how well we carry ourselves. You don’t have to follow someone’s style to be fashionable, just be yourself and everything will fall into right place.
Wow! I appreciate all the comments! I will definately take it and run with it. There is always room for improvement! Thank You All =)
@ Empress: Don’t hate on Nigerians. I’m Nigerian and I actually voted that she is not a bombshell. No favortism here.
The style is just off. Sorry.
Love her style and how she incorporates her heritage pride in many of her outfits. Bombshell!
…hmmm… okay….
She does look much better with her natural hair… there is room to improve…the best pic was the bathroom pic because it seemed like that is really her style… everything else appears forced.
Empress…STFU. I’m Nigerian too doesn’t mean i voted bombshell.
Oh this is the last time I am going to say this. I’m sick and tired and SICK of these little girls wearing leggings as pants. They are LEGGINGS as in get a longer shirt to cover that camel toe. Stop tucking in shirts when you are wearing leggings. I don’t care how small or big you are, it always looks STANK and like a SPEEGLER ! I do like her style because she’s different, the hair is…… Killing some of the looks for me. Feeling the maxi skirt and wide leg pants
This made me slightly detest bold prints… However, her weave was on the leave it in 2009 list(silly length LACEFRONTS)
Long weave out the limo na na na naaa nana. Def getting A banks vibe.
If you’re going bright on the eyes then all that’s needed on the
lips is a slick of gloss or balm and youre good to go.
From clip in coloured streaks as seen on Katy Perry, to the ravishing
red colours seen on hair chameleons such as Rhianna and
Drew Barrymore, it’s super-seasonal to sport the brights trend on your head as well as your face and nails. However, during the fall and winter months, you will usually see deeper, more earthy tones, like: forest green, Bordeaux wine, and the ever classic: black.
