We’re back on the East Coast with todays Fashion Bombshell, Jennifer from New York:

She says, “My style is eclectic in nature and evolves depending on my state of mind– it reflects my emotions.”

” If I’m feeling playful, daring, sexy– with a dose of confidence.”


” Naturally, I don’t like black and white together but as I am getting older, I begin to see that it’s not all bad.”


” I find myself gravitating to the neutrals more and my wardrobe is looking like a Janelle Monae closet LOL!”


” Fashion is the art and style is our interpretation of it. Here’s my interpretation of Summer black and white outfits for the Fun/sporty/daring/classy woman in all of us.”

Hot! Black and White is always nice.

Kim Zolciak Biermann appeared on Good Morning America yesterday to announce her new Dancing with the Stars appointment in a black and white Roland Mouret jumpsuit beloved by the celeb set.

Kate Hudson was the first to rock the one piece in July 2015 with sleek bun and platform sandals.

Up next was Jessica Simpson, who fell in love with the look in April of this year.

Ultimo lingerie brand founder Michelle Mone, slipped on the look for a brand launch event.

Simon Cowell’s belle Sarah Silverman wore it the Elle Style Awards.

And Emma Willis gave the look some color with red lips and a yellow clutch for the 2015 Bafta Awards.

The piece debut in Mouret’s Resort 2015 collection.

It retailed for $2,647 before selling out.


Who styled it the best?

• If you’re a fan of Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book, then you may be interested in the launch of CR Men’s Book, a male version for our Fashion Bombers, out today! Kanye West lent his debut collection with Adidas for a photo shoot with Fetty Wap featured in the inaugural issue. What are your thoughts? (The Cut)

• If you’re ever in the market for an affordable, on-trend ensemble, British online-only fashion retailer ASOS has got you covered. CEO Nick Robertson, who co-founded the fast fashion brand 15 years ago, announced his decision yesterday to step down from the company. Not to worry, the brand will be in good hands (as the current Chief Operating Officer will step in to replace Robertson). (Bloomberg Business)

• The conversation won’t stop and we’re happy about it! HuffPost is taking the dialogue a step further and calling for magazines to make more diverse hires on their staffs. “It starts with the people making the decisions there…there have to be editors — black editors, there have to be black casting directors, black fashion directors and there just aren’t,” said Julee Wilson, HuffPost Style senior fashion editor. As a black staff writer for a multi-cultural media platform like FashionBombDaily, I couldn’t agree more! (Huffington Post)

• Net-a-Porter CEO Natalie Massenet has exited the company she founded in 2000, ahead of the brand’s merger with YOOX. She announced her resignation after returning home from a vacation, and reportedly sold her shares for approximately $152 million. Net-a-Porter is one of my favorite places to shop, and Natalie Massenet is a consummate boss. Can’t wait to see what she does next! (Fashionista)

• Street Style photographers are breaking away from reporting for larger entities, and are instead creating their own Media Empires, reports The Cut. Tommy Ton, whose accessories focused shots populated the homepage of Style.com, told Business of Fashion that he hopes to launch his eponymous site, explaining, “I’ve been very fortunate to develop a lot of relationships in my career through designers and brands. So, I’ve been thinking, maybe I should just focus on that and not worry so much about whether or not my name is branded with anyone else’s.” Preach, young man! The same goes for Scott Schuman of the Sartorialist and Yvan Rodic of FaceHunter. Scott has been working on a new book that explores Peru, Morocco, and other locations, saying, “I find so much inspiration in diversity and in challenging my eye to appreciate unfamiliar colors, patterns and shapes.” (The Cut)

Tamar Braxton will be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars! She went on Good Morning America to discuss her new gig in a Kimberly Goldson Dress worn as a top, Helmut Lang jeans, and $795 Christian Louboutin Anjalina Studded Pumps:

Tamar removed the frock’s lining and wore it as a top.

See a similar pair of jeans below.

Her 4″ heels boast gold mini spikes.

Tamar looks great. This look is definitely hot! Yet another item to add to my wish list (that Goldson number is calling my name!).
What do you think?

Happy Wednesday, folks!
So yesterday, I was excited to spend a day at the U.S. Open, taking in matches and surveying the grounds.

Though I didn’t get to catch Serena (!), I was able to see the world famous Roger Federer play Leonardo Mayer of Argentina.


I actually grew up playing tennis in Atlanta, so watching is always fun for me!
For the day, I decided to give my best tennis fashion inspiration in a Frankie Morello dress, Valentino rockstud pumps, and a Chanel bag from A Second Chance Resale.

I’d recommend wearing as much protective sun gear as possible! I would’ve brought a hat had I known. But for the day, I shielded my eyes in my Dior So Real silver shades.

I later caught up with the guys from Street Etiquette, who are doing some pretty amazing things with the Open as well.

Take a look at a few shots they did for an editorial for the US Open titled, ‘Sibling Rivalry.’

They’re so talented, don’t you agree? You can see the rest of their shots @StreetEtiquette.
At any rate, it was a fun day!

*At the end of the day, I popped out of my heels and into a pair of Solange x Puma Word to the Woman sneakers.

My feet felt like a dream. I need to wear sneakers more often!

Would you rock the Solange kicks?

Janelle Monae, Jidenna, and more popped by 2Chainz’s mixtape release party last night in Atlanta. For the night, Janelle slipped on a black and white geometric boydcon and $1,178 Aquazzura Queen sandals:

Red lips and a hat completed her look.

Her sandals are fashioned out of multicolored leather, boasting red and silver tones and shiny disc embellishments.

I own these sandals, but haven’t figured out a way to wear ’em. Ms. Monae is giving me a few ideas!
Get her heels at FarFetch.com.
Thoughts on her look?

*Jidenna was in the building, looking very dapper.

And 2 Chainz was in a celebratory mood.

Today’s Bombshell is Tshego from Johannesburg, South Africa:

She says, “My style is very simple, trendy and effortless.”

” I try to personalize trends and make them work for my personality.”


” Looking good is very pricy, but I always manage to make up outfits by sourcing interesting garments from all kinds of stores.”


” It’s not about the price tag but how you wear the outfit that makes it memorable.”

Your style is simple and effortless. Bombshell!

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!
