“…and I attend Cal State Long Beach.”

“… I love fashion because I like to be able to express myself in the way I dress.”


” I tend to lean towards classic pieces…”

  1. Yeah not a really good choice. I dont see any style. But hey maybe its just me! She is beautiful but there is no favortism in fashion; YOU EITHER GOT IT OR YOU DONT!!!

    SHE DON’T!!!

  2. that white skirt outfit is hott! i like this bombshell i think she puts together wearable looks and own her style. Its not super flashy but still chic

  3. Dont fault me for the truth. We’re all adults and I mean look at the first picture with the extra long belt, corduroy shorts, a bead or shell necklace and a poof shoulder polo. Thats not fashion and ladies you know it. I gave Maria props on being a gorgeous girl but she’s not fashionable.

  4. Well Claire, I must say you are an Equal Opportunist…Very pretty young lady but not exactly a fashion bomb.

  5. whoa…you look like my mom! i like the striped tee/green necklace combo. i love all yellow cardigans!

  6. The last pic was a NO. The rest is cool, looks like some stuff a mom could wear to the park, aside from the ubiquitous yoga pants.

  7. She is a cute girl but her clothes are aging her. Im not sure how old she is but she is giving me late 30’s but her face is early 20’s.

    Bottom line stay n school.

  8. Maria does a great job at wearing classic looks the way a young person should. Extra points for finding pieces that are tailored nicely! And of course, love the hair!

  9. There are a couple outfits that I really like: The one with the yellow sweater, the one with the gold belt and the one with the striped black and white top. All in all I think she’s cool.

    The others need a bit more work. The last outfit is a thumbs down for me all the way.

  10. It’s alright, nothing to write home about…BUT a definite change from the gaudy atrocities we’ve been seeing…*still blind*

  11. I usually don’t post on these but I had to comment that she’s gorgeous…I only really care for (according to my tastes) the outfit with the animal print and the brown cardi. Wish she woulda sent in a full length of that :(

    But best of luck with your fashion design Maria!

  12. I hate waist belts with button ups!!!! At least tuck the darn shirt in! Snake skin dress, no. But I agree, she is a pretty girl, everything else was cool.

  13. I like the python print look. Ahead of the time with that one. For the Fall, I’d add a more substantial shoe to that dress also a choker that matches that cuff. Cute.

  14. Love the hair. Cute girl. Her style reminds me of a Sears model. She’s put together well. Her style is just…underwhelming. (imo) She could rock an all white tank, jeans, a bad pair of shoes w/the right accessories and make it look hot, if she tried.

  15. Okay with the exception of the snakeskin dress I like her looks. She does casual chic fairly well. I think she could mix it up a little more and add at least one edgy piece to each look. Too many safe pieces in one look can be kinda boring. But honestly….and I think we can all agree….she isn’t the worst Fashion Bombshell to grace this site. And I love that haircut.

  16. Not bad! That colorblock attempt was a major fail though. She need to look at the color wheel to figure out what colors compliment each other

  17. Pretty girl and some of the outfits are great, but the reptile dress really needs to go. She looks so much better when she dresses with class.

  18. I love outfit with the the tan polo shirt and corduroy shorts (lovely look); the reptile outfit on the other-hand-what were you thinking? Not a good look and one certainly does anything to complement your shape. All in all I think the the style is plain-Jane-nothing spectacular about it.

  19. First off snakeskin is hot now!Second her hair is on point. Some of u who hate so hard I would luv to see you’ll pics.LOL

  20. The snakeskin dress does not work with her figure, it makes her look like a BOX.
    I see every day surburban Mom who used to work outside the home and is now determined to get “dressed” for the grocery store/errands and the Mommy & Me classes.

    ~ Pretty Face, Nice Haircut but dull outfits~

  21. @Sonia- please eliminate hater from your vocabulary. U want to see other peoples pictures and yet, you haven’t shared yours.
    Everyone doesn’t have to like what you like, and guess what,,,you should be able to accept that without resulting to insults by calling people names such as hater.
    Submit yourself as a Fashion Bomb and comments will be made, this chick KNOWS that and is OK with it otherwise she wouldn’t have submitted her pictures.

  22. thats gonna be a no-go for me. she looks like she shops at old navy then throws a belt on…

    but how she dresses herself doesnt mean she isnt a good stylist herself

  23. Beautiful girl with gorgeous hair. I like the blue top, white skirt and orange belt combo. However, other than that I’m not truly inspired.
