You ready for our Bombshell?
Today’s lucky lass is Oromo from Nigeria:

She says, “My style? Well there’s nothing much to say but I dress how I feel.”

“Quite difficult to explain.”


“… Artists express themselves with their artwork but I express myself with clothes.”


“The music I listen to strongly influences my taste.”


“I’m studying Genetics, but I hope to be a stylist one day (though I don’t know how that would sit with my parents!)”


“Check out my blog at www.nevinovatie.tumblr.com.”

Will do! Your style is funky and artistic. I like!
Do you?

  1. I love the way she pulls her pieces together. She plays well with prints and various fabrics. Me likey…

  2. Not a fan of her style. But, as always, excited to see my fellow AFRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKAN sistas on hurr!!!!

    alelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelel!!!

  3. She reminds me of Maxine off of “Living Single”. Her style isn’t really my taste but I get it, its cool, its in “fashion”…

  4. I think she’s so cute, the last outfit with the ankara could’ve been fitted better but totally loving the artsy/I’m hipster vibe.X p.s tell your parents about your dream, you never know!

  5. this faux edgy hipster style is played out. I simply cannot but cute girl tho. Naija girls are always so pretty.

  6. Toluwa you’re a bastard hater though.Show your own style nau. Oloshi buruku omo oshi..

  7. I wanted to love my fellow naija’s style but sadly I didn’t. But it looks great on her, fine girl!-no pimples.
    *and you know damn well no Nigerian parent is having you be anything outside sciences or mathematics. But it’s fun to dream no?*

  8. I agree @ Lola. Most of the “bombshells” have that faux hipster look going on and there’s really nothing unique about it.

  9. Coco is so right. Nothing new. I want to see a bombshell, who makes your mouth drop, and gives you new ideas. I use to check out this web almost every day, but not anymore. I am 20year-old and i wish you would put more ”normal” yet cool bombshell on.

  10. All era’s have their signature style, is it possible the “hipster” look will help define the 2010’s? If so, if this is becoming an conventional look, I’m sure the “real” hipster’s will find a new one, lol. And what defines a real histpter vs a faux one anyway..I think to walk around like this, still takes a little courage when every day you see the average person wearing gap t-shirts and jeans. Nothing wrong with playing around with any look, if its grunge, hipster, 80’s, preppy, tailored, etc… At the end of the day, we all have the right to define ourselves and express ourselves – no one owns a particular look.

  11. Im with Amani, wth does “faux hipster” mean anyway? Can’t people just like the hipster look? I feel like this comment comes from people who have a more classic aesthetic and are unwilling to acknowledge any style other than their own.

    Nobody calls them out for being “faux preppy”

  12. Also, I love the bombshells look! I think she does a good job balancing prints and silhouettes which is what trips up a lot of people looking for that “hipster vibe”.

  13. @Anonymous… bad belle! Watch your mouth you’re not among Nigerians here.

  14. I like the first outfit . But am so over this hipster trend its just so All over the place and people are trying hard to be different but they always end up looking the same . I like a more polished look

  15. i personally wouldnt wear it, but i love her looks for her. Suits her well. very nice

  16. @Anon,

    You can kiss my yansh! Mscheeeeeeeewwww!!!

    Again, alelelelelelellelelelelelellelelelelel AFRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKA!!! I LOVE YOU MY CONTINENT!

  17. @AfricanMami I’m not going to stoop to your level…I just wish you would act like a normal person sometimes or at least take your meds. We get it already, you are African and proud.

  18. To the ones with compliments, thank you
    To the others…. people are entitled to their own opinions.
    Still thank you for viewing.
