To bless my upcoming trip to Atlanta, I decided to pick stylist Olori Swank from the Peach State for Bombshell of the Day:
The stylist and blogger for www.OloriSwank.com actually styles Dawn Richard, several NFL Athletes, and the current Miss Georgia USA Kaylin Reque.
She’s also the current fashion editor for Kraze Magazine (www.Krazemag.com).
She says, “My style is very emotional.”
“… It all depends on how I feel…”
“… what I’m inspired by,”
“..And/or what I am trying to convey that day.”
“I recently (June 2011) started blogging about my personal style.”
” I’m super new to the whole personal style blog thing but I’m having so much fun sharing my outfits with the world….”
“…and learning how to work a blog in the process.”
This, ladies, is style. From prim and prissy, to short and sassy, to funky and fab, Olori’s got it all. Ow! Check out more of her style and work at www.OloriSwank.com.

I’ve seen a few of her images and wondered who she was. She definitely is having fun with fashion and it shows. I like this and will check out her blog!
Hunnie, that shoe game…YES!
She has great style!! Werk ill be in ATL for Labor Day and I hope I can find that blk n white blazer she has on!
Love Love Love!!!! where can I get those tan shoes in the pic with the blue naval blazer. Werk it girl!!! Definitely my inspiration for my look this evening…
So much freaking style! Representing the A…

The shoes, I die! The hair I can’t get jiggy with : / Her style rocks overall, she can put those pieces together …somebody believes in her so I ain’t mad at ha’!
Niceeeee! Love the leopard print shorts outfit! HOT.
I like the black and white polka dot dress w/ the black heels and the multicolored dress with the sneakers
I usually dont comment.. But frm a former feature of bombshell.. She is dopeness!
I LOVE HER SHOES!!!! I would love to see her shoe collection. HOT!!!
Very Nice!
Really? I can’t consign most of her looks, shoes are killer though.
I actually love the hair; it gives edge and she wears it well.
LOVE her style! That leopard sweater with the striped dress totally looks like something I would wear…and yes, her shoe game is something serious. Great pick!
Very nice looks. I too, am distracted by the hair.
Shoes shoes shoes! The waist coat, the blazer lawwwd! So many pieces I would wear, I wouldn’t be as daring in how I paired them, but her style is definitely on point.
DOPENESS. I would love to raid her closet. The last look is gorgy.
Hmm..some hits and some definitely misses. Lol. Some nice individual pieces but hmmmm at some of the outfits.
I love the clothing, but I’m not too fond of the hair. Maybe its the blue that’s throwing me off.
I like her style great individual pieces…shoe game is official…Hot!
Her hair is a total distraction from her looks. I would have rated her higher if she was a civilian, but for a stylist I am not really a fan. I love her shoes, but that’s about it.
Great post! I absolutely love it! Her blog is also amazing. This woman is practical and fashionable.
I like most of her outfits but she can miss me with that hair. It looks like Rufio from Hook.
my style is more conservative so i luv the print dress on her !!!, the others look fab on her also just not my style :) great pick
Finally a “stylist” who is actually a stylist! I love the blazers with the shorts and shoe game is definitely proper. Call me conservative, but I just can’t with the hair. There’s a fine line b/w hood and edgy/chic….
my 1st thought was “cool hat”!
then i realized it was her hair =/
idk….her style is a bit too extra for me
but i always love to see ppl wearing their expression on they’re sleeve…and feet….and head lol
Hot. Leopard shorts, sequined bag…. <3
Interesting..
would rock everything girl it hot
She looks like she has fun when she gets dressed. I do not like her hair, but those shoes with the chiffon looking bow tie are simply swell.
I CAN DIG IT…WERK MAMA WERK!!!
I think I have found my holy grail blog
Hit and mess again. I like almost every other look. Hate the one with the dress and sneakers and the one with the striped dress and cheap leopard print cardigan. Don’t care for the casual ripped tee paired with the snakeskin leggings either. Should have chose one or the other and kept it simple
The shoes gurl – the shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like her style, but the hair kept throwing me off.
She is cute as a button!!! Love her style!
Her blog is dope! *two thumbs up*
I like her shoes
I am LOVING her hair!!!! for that alone, she ROCKS! then to top it off, I’ve also got the blue RL blazer she’s rocking with the cream shorts so she ROCKS even harder. Add to that her overall swag and her actual SENSE of fashion… this girl is a definite 10!
SHE IS THE BUSINESS!!!!!!! Hats off… No need to dissect each pic, she is overall FAB!!!
Girl is not only on fire…she’s burning..She has crazy hair but its tasteful and chic! Everything about her I dig..100% Nothing else to say..
I agree, she does have style. Her looks isn’t giving me its a photo shoot day like most. I couldn’t be as daring with hair but again thats not my style. Its nice seeing someone who’s has a style that speaks volumes about their personality and not outfits you see everyday at the mall. Work mami!
Love the fact that she is from the A and she is a bull dawg. Love her style.
She has great style for the most part, but some of the outfits are misses. She has a fab shoes and that black and white blazer is the business.
Cute!
I’m inspired by her looks..I would wear each outfit…..Not too fond of the hair….I dislike that “shaved head look” ever since Cassie debuted it!
lolol yeah I def agree with everyone this girl is F-L-Y and I love that she seems to mix all her looks with a punk rock element, I do that too sometimes and wish I could do it all the time like that prep school blazer with her punk hair, one word DOPE!
WERK!!!
2 snaps in a circle love it!!
i L O V E !!! L U V !!! <3 this her style!!!! Goodness!!!
Awesome style but the hair could polished but still funky and extreme.
she makes me really want a pair of lagassi….like really really
definitely a boom shell luv luv luv her looks
HOTNESSSSSSS!!!! I get it. I really do. She works in a trendy fast paced industry and her style is a complete and total reflection of that. For those of you who do not like her hair…to each his own. I own a government consulting firm and my style is a reflection of my clientele and environment. Prim, proper, classy and a bit sassy. Olori – good job. From one entrepreneur to another – show em’ how its done!
LOVE IT! YOU better werk!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of her looks!!! I could do witout the hair though.
I’m loving all of her looks and her hair is awesome!!!
Fab shoes but cheap looking clothes and hair…unfortunately.
I love how she mixes high-end with low end affordable pieces
Ah, a fashion rebel no doubt. Her style is the very epitome of the Black Fashion American Culture. It matches her inner Stylist.
Nice.
I’m LIVINGGGGGGGGGG for this bombshell right now!! YESSSSSSSSS!
Style is great. The hair is distracting!
I usually just observe, but I am so in love with the hair!Being a person who loves everything hair and especially loves seeing
when someone can get creative & take their hair to a whole other level…this was hot! And of course so were the shoes and clothing pieces she rocked!
O MY GAAHHHHH She is FIERCENESS personified! Awesome pick. I just love her edgy-ness and the way she can still keep it classy. LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!
Im inspired!! She is reppin my adopted hometown! AND THE SHOES…shes killem them. THANKS CLAIRE!
Fresh, fly, cute, haute; all in one — AND SHE PULLS IF OFF!!
You go!!!
werk!!!!!!!!!!!!
most of her looks fierce. only 1 was kind of a hot mess but the rest? HOOOOTTTT!
The black and white blazer is from forever 21. I just saw it yesterday while browsing
Definitely taking tips from her. Normally over the top pieces seem too extra for me but i like the way she puts her pieces together. She’s inspiration for me to step out of my safe comfort zone.
General question & I really need to know if it is just me…
why is it now considered fashion to wear shorts so short that the darker ridge underneath cheeks is visible?
why is it now considered fashionable to wear a skirt so short that it is obvious that an accident is 1 move/breeze away?
A Winner!!!
Her hair is EVERYTHING! my fav outfit is the one with the white blazer and leopard print shorts…I would totally rock the hell out of that!
10/10 to this girl. WOW!
I love everything but the blue hair.
WOW take notes ppl! this girl is amazing! I see why its her job to style ppl!
OMG Im so mad I missed her on Fri. I LOVE THIS. No words. SImply LOVE IT! PERSONAL STYLE FOR THE F’n WIN #againandagainitalwayswins
At first I wasnt sure but then I realized that I keep going back to look and thats style!! Shes Awesome!! Go ATL!! @ Claire- when oh when will u be here (ATL)?
I like her style bc you would think that her hair would have her in a box but she does the prep look, laid back, and dressy all well! I’m feeling it
Awesomeness!
FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!
Her style is totally…..HOT, like Fire! I wud luv to get a few fashion tips from her anyday! I’M LUVINNNN IT!!!
