For Best of 2013, we’re highlighting those Bombshells who made it on your nice lists with flying colors. It was actually really hard to whittle down the list, though we did decide upon 10 finalists.
In no particular order…
1. Cynthia from New York
From polka dotted playsuits to printed sheaths, Cynthia’s submission was more than on point!
The long time reader and blogger for Addicted2Etsy.com took a few years to send in some flix, but we’re glad she did! She secured a 91% ‘Bombshell’ rating out of 990 votes, and Reeezy wrote in, “Yaassss to the clothes, hair, shoes & confidence! Bombshell!”
Is she our Bombshell of the Year?

2. Mbu from South Africa
Madame Mbu is the owner of Hombakazi Vintage Cabin, a South African pop up store, and was nominated by admirer Zona.
We loved her cropped haircut–and flavorful outfits caused unmatched excitement! Wildflower Elo gushed, “BRAVO!!!! Now that is what gets my fashion juices flowing. Yes!!!!”
Check her initial post here.
3. Tsholo from Botwana
We first caught wind of Tsholo’s eclectic style in our How Do You Wear It? Feature, and were happy to have her send in pictures for a full blown Bombshell feature.
She received the most written in nominations and made Andie say, “In a league of her own. I LOVE [her] style!”
Do you?

4. Stella from Maryland
Prints and patterns carried punch with Stella from Maryland’s nuanced selection of pictures.
The blogger from Jadore-Fashion.com offered unbridled variety, including a few (fly) maternity pix to boot! Like2Smize appreciated the diversity, writing, “The hands down BEST BOMBSHELL in a very long time. She is great…I sense a deeper understanding of color, pattern, body-type appropriateness and proportion than we usually see here. Those things are key to being a true BOMBSHELL. And a bomb lip color doesn’t hurt either. WERK Mother Nigeria!”
Remember her ensembles in her post and check her out on Instagram @JadoreFashion.
5. Alicia from NYC
Alicia first appeared on our computer screams back in January–clearly her looks were worth remembering!
The Advertising Exec’s outfits skewed corporate with a cute twist, and you guys went gaga, offering her a 80% ‘Bombshell’ vote out of 1,535 ballots! Soul Touch typed, “Bombshell. Great look, great style, great body, great legs.” Agreed!

6. Tiffany from Arizona
Tiffany tantalized viewers with her spot on trends and creative combinations, making her a certified favorite and fixture in our How Do You Wear It? Section.
From body hugging skirts to mixed prints combos, the blogger for The-Werk-Place.com brought it each time. 92% of 1,657 people declared, “Finally! Now This is a Bombshell!”, and Loni declared, “I am so in love! This is fashion. She is everything. Thank you Tiffany!!!”

7. Bonang from South Africa
It seems all our South African Bombshells are submitted by admirers, as was the case with the beautiful Bonang.
Turns out Ms. Bonang is actually quite the celebrity in South Africa, and is known as an entrepreneur, DJ, and a TV Host. It figures–she certainly has ‘it.’

8.Bianca from Romania
Biana was our very first Romanian Bombshell, and stood out thanks to her blue steel stare and sassy shoe game.
You guys were really feeling her! T1K wrote, “Very clean! Love it! Weerk Bianca!!” and Simiyalala added, “Kabomb! Elegant with dashes of color. Well put together. Well done, mi gyal.”
But was she the best Bombshell of 2013?

9. Paris from Memphis
Paris from Memphis seduced all of us with her sultry stare and simple yet chic looks.

Kia Denise was one of my personal favorites. How can you go wrong with killer heels, tailored separates, and a mix of casual, edgy, and chic?
The owner from FromMyStyle2Urs locked down 84% of 1,309 votes leaving Style4Curves in convulsions as she wrote, “YES GAWDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!” LOL.

And that does it! It was really tough to filter it down to those 10, but we think they’re deserving, no?
At any rate, who was the Best Bombshell of 2013?
Smootches!
