Today’s Bombshell, Dannie from the DMV, was submitted by her friend, Andrea:


Andrea writes,
“Dannie has always been a fashionista since I could remember her.”

” Danielle is originally from the D(M)V, but resides in Brooklyn.”


” Danielle’s personality mixed with her charm of stylish outfits always seems to catch the eye of others around her. She would kill me if she knew I was doing this… However, since her relocation to NYC, Dannie’s style has evolved.”


” I would describe it as “FABiva”… Meaning fabulous diva!!… Lol…”


” Dannie has a great nitch for mixing patterns, colors, and prints, although her ALL Black moments go OFF!!!!”


” Dannie always does her own thing with confidence and although she’s only 5 feet, she walks and styles herself like she 6 feet tall!!!…lol…I hope you enjoy her fits as much as I do!!! “


She looks great! My favorite looks incorporate faux fur.

Men’s Fashion Flash: Drake’s “Hotline Bling” Video Acne Studios Jayden Grey Ribbed Melange Knit Turtleneck

In the wake of Kanye West dropping two songs, Drake dropped the video for his single “Hotline Bling” as a surprise to most. Embodying the idea of “dance like no one’s watching” the 6 god cuts a rug in Timberlands, sweatpants, a red puffer and more.

But the piece that took off on Twitter? A $400 grey ribbed ‘Jayden’ turtleneck from Acne Studios. And it was good.

 

While the Apple Music artist has a few dance moves to teach us, he demonstrates them in a red bubble coat that seems like it can fend off the chilliest of winter’s winds, an OVO branded hoodie and the spotlight turtleneck.

He rocks the stunner of a piece with a “dad beard,” baggy sweatpants and wheat Timberland boots. While we can’t advise you borrow the same ensemble head to toe, the mock neck itself is definitely covetable.

Pick up one of your own for $400 in grey or black and kick back to wait for someone to make your “Hotline Bling.”

First Lady Michelle Obama recently launched the Better Make Room Campaign, an initiative targeted towards target Generation Z (young people aged 14-19) to celebrate education, change the national conversation, and give them a space to create content while also navigating the college-going process. The White House tapped Ciara to generate some buzz; the singer attended the announcement ceremony in a $2,395 Black Tuxudo jumpsuit by Ralph Lauren:

The one piece is distinguished by its silk-covered peaked lapels and a stripe along each leg. It also comes with a tonal belt, which Ciara eschewed in favor of simplicity.

$2,400 is quite a lot of coin to drop on one item! Get the look for less with these pieces:

Claire’s Life: The 2015 Revolt Music Conference at Fontainebleau Miami Beach

revolt music conference 12345

Happy Tuesday!
So as you know, I spent the last few days at the Revolt Music Conference down at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. It was my first time in attendance, and I didn’t know what to expect, but I was blown away by the concerts, dinners, and fabulous events!

One of the absolute highlights of my trip was moderating a panel entitled The Women Behind the Brand, featuring top level female executives from Combs Enterprises.

You may not be aware, but Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s company is chock full of fierce women in positions of power.
On our illustrious panel was Dia Simms, President of Combs Wine and Spirits.

Ericka M. Pittman, Vice President of the Chairman’s Office of Combs Enterprises.

Erin Harris, Vice President of Vodka for Combs Wine and Spirits.

Marilyn Van Alstyne, CEO of EMVE management group.

And Andrea Sengura, Vice President of Tequila of Combs Wine and Spirits..

Our conversation centered around challenges female executives sometimes face in an industry dominated by men, how to balance being assertive without being labeled a ‘b word,’ how to balance work and family, and how to be the best you can be in your chosen vocation.

A few take aways: take whatever job is offered to you to break into the industry. After enjoying a diverse career path, working for the Department of Defense, advertising sales, and pharmaceuticals, Dia Simms started off at Combs Enterprises as an assistant. Once in the company, she quickly worked her way through the ranks, catapulting to an executive role in less than five years.

Another take away, courtesy of Andrea Sengura: “Don’t be afraid to be brilliant.” Many women tone down their intelligence, in hopes of not offending others. But if you’ve done the work, and have something to contribute, be confident enough to speak up!

When networking, Erin Harris emphasized persistence. People passed out cards with wild abandon at this conference, but few actually followed up. Be the person who takes the next step to send that e-mail or schedule that follow up call. Ericka M. Pittman also brilliantly recommended to send hand written notes to stand out from the crowd.

Lastly, for those ladies balancing both career and family, Dia offered, “be present.” Many women on the panel have families in addition to demanding careers. Simms recommended to stay focused: When you’re with your family, your focus is on family; when you’re at work, it’s all about work!

At any rate, it was a fantastic conversation with a group of smart, ambitious women. They all stand as examples of women worthy of emulation, who have risen to the top through smarts, efficacy, and great conscious decisions in the industry. I was beyond honored to be involved.

I came away from the Revolt Music Conference with even more respect for the Combs brand. A company is nothing without a strong leader and an equally strong leadership team.

We’re kicking off this week with Chicago Bombshell, Vickee:

She says, “My name is Vickee Yang and I am a 25 year-old fashion blogger from Chicago, IL.”


“Fashion has always been in my blood. As I have grown and matured, so has my personal style.”


” What used to be a very colorful & vibrant Vickee back in High School has now transformed into a sleek and chic young woman.”

” I believe that in order to be noticeable, you don’t always have to be the loudest one in the room. You can exude just as much confidence in a sophisticated black dress as you can in a bright red one. In my eyes, less is more.”


“My style is very feminine and classic. I love tailored trousers, over-sized jackets & blazers you can wear over the shoulder, a clean neutral palette & a monochromatic outfit.”


” I am all about simplicity and an effortless look because I think there’s so much focus on trying to be so “different” nowadays that people forget how beautiful you can look without all the extra stuff.”


“My ultimate goal as a fashion blogger in Chicago is to bring more style to the Midwest and inspire people to value the clothes on their backs and take pride in looking good.”

” Fashion is an outlet for you to express yourself, & you should take that opportunity every day. “


“I would be honored if I were to be featured on The Fashion Bomb Daily.”


We’re honored to have you! Thanks for your thoughtful submission! Love your looks!
