I don’t even know where to begin with today’s Bomb Blogger! I mean, I’ve been a loyal follower since my college days and I’ve watched this young woman evolve on so many levels. From her wildly successful YouTube channel to her mastery of minimal styling, Shirley B. Eniang is a force to be reckoned with.

Shirley is a style maven that wear many hats. She blogs on a plethora of topics including beauty, fashion and even life. Her bubbly personality and effortless grace have even garnered her a spot amongst my favorite bloggers ever. (I gotta admit, since spearheading this feature, she’s been one of the most suggested bloggers to highlight. The love is unbelievable!)

And, her personal style is jaw-dropping! Shirley’s primary fashion objective rests upon the idea of simplicity. She expertly pairs closet staples while also adding her on unique twist within every look. Miss Eniang’s go-to pieces include black strappy heels, neutral palettes and the perfect pair of fitted high-waisted jeans.

How amazing is her Olivia Pope-inspired lookbook?! (see below)

Slay on, hun!

Keri Hilson attended Jeffrey’s Fashion Cares last night in Atlanta, and blogging buddy Talking with Tami was in attendance! She captured Keri in a Vera Wang Spring 2015 black gown, cinched with a belt.

Long, dark braids look absolutely amazing on her!

The dress was modeled minus the belt in Vera Wang’s Spring 2015 collection.

We’re giving our feature an international spin with Dee from Badagry, Lagos.

She says, “My style is versatile but also highly influenced by my culture.”

“I like to refer to my fashion and style as Art…”

“… treating my body like a blank canvas that I’m allowed to paint at any point creating whatever I’m feeling.”


“So my mood is always a big determinant of my style.”


“Presently I’m loving hats, I think its just because sometime protective hairstyles and natural hair can get tiring.”


“Thanks for having me. This feature is one of my 2015 goals.”

Well, there you have it! Your style is artful and absolutely fabulous!

Yesterday, I was invited by HLN’s Daily Share to discuss 2015 MTV Music Awards fashion with stylish host Rocsi Diaz, and fashionistas Alicia L. Quarles and Shae Wilbur.

Solid colors always work well for TV (so I am told!), so I decided to wear my K Mills Collection signature bow dress.

We actually featured K Mills’s bow dresses as a Bomb Product of the Day. They come in a slew of colors, including Yellow, Purple, Green, White, Coral, Red, Black, Wine, Royal Blue, Winter White, Pink, Teal, and Denim. I opted for red for my most recent twirl on TV.

I kept the red going with my Prada Wavy Sandals.

A red lip (I’m wearing a mixture of MAC’s Ruby Woo and Black Opal’s Patent Lip Gloss in Dynamo), and I was ready to talk style!

Not sure HLN will be replaying our segment, but next time I’m on, I’ll be sure to set my DVR!
IF you saw it, how did I do?

*Headed to the US Open today, stay tuned for snaps!
