You guys weren’t too jazzed with yesterday’s Texas Bombshell representation, but perhaps today’s will be more your flavor? Check out Chekwube from Houston:

She says “My style is chic and feminine.”

” I launched my online brand adakwube in December 2014, which is a women’s contemporary clothing brand that incorporates hints of african wax and other ethnic prints with classic fabrics and modern styling, to create unique contemporary pieces.”

” All our pieces are made in the USA and we work with skilled craftswomen (and men) mainly in New York City and Houston.”

” I also blog outfits from other brands.”

You’re a beauty with great style. Bombshell!

Happy Monday!
So this past Saturday, I co-hosted a fashion brunch at Corner Social in Harlem with Legendary Damon and Ty Hunter, with special guest host Laquan Smith.

With beats by the ever fabulous DJ Olivia Dope and a special performance by Andy Allo, it was the place to be this Saturday in NYC!

Of course attendees showed up looking absolutely amazing!
Take a look at a bit of Real Style, photographed by Karl Pierre.

Amber Sabathia gave all white some pop with Aquazzura leather and elaphe primary colored sandals and an Anya Hindmarch Bazooka Python Handbag. Love it!

These gentleman were dapper defined in nautical inspired separates.

Linda and Corey of the brand Midget Giraffe showed off their African printed pieces, along with my friend Samantha. I loved the floor sweeping skirts! Read more about them and purchase at MidgetGiraffe.bigcartel.com.

A kente printed dress and gold strappy sandals was this attendees sartorial choice for the day.

Large, voluminous hair was the perfect accent to this netted ensemble.

Stylist Kim Dillinger @KimDillinger worked a denim jacket, multicolored skirt, and candy colored sandals.

Colorful was also the call for @IamHDiddy, who rocked a Vintage YSL Tuxedo shirt, ASOS Joggers, and Saucony sneakers.

Safiyah Hayden of the blog BeachBeautyLife.com looked ready for the warm weather in a long strapless knit top and neutral pants.

Her sister Sadia Hayden worked a brown suede ensemble with nude sandals.

Makeup Artist and Stylist @ImJustStina uplifted a white shorts ensemble with a lacy blush bustier.

Lastly, my youngest sister Dee Dee @LittlestSulmers celebrated her 25th birthday! She blessed the occasion in an adorable pink tutu.

It was a fun time!

The hosts of the brunch decided to go for a Versace theme (ok, it was my idea! LOL).

For the occasion, I slipped on an Anthony Vaccarello x Versus asymmetrical shirt dress, signature Versace white Medusa sandals, and Versace large gold hoops!

I accessorized with stacked gold bangles and a simple black clutch.

At any rate, Ty, Damon and I plan to do these a few more times over the summer, and maybe take it to other cities!
Stay tuned;)

Today’s Bombshell is Jaha from St. Louis, Missouri:

She types, “ I am currently pursuing my degree in business with an emphasis in Fashion Marketing in LA.”


” I would like to work as a buyer or in product development in the fashion industry.”


” I would describe my style as simple, yet chic while building my wardrobe around great accessories.”


” I can’t deal with fuss, hence the simple silhouettes.”


” I also enjoy adding juxtaposition to my outfits. For example, if I am wearing something really feminine, I will add a stronger, more bold,article of clothing or accessory that counteracts the girly piece.”


” Ultimately, my philosophy on dressing though is if I am showing legs, I will keep the top more covered up and vice versa.”


“I hope you enjoy my submission.”


Lots of great outfits here! I love your simple, sleek looks the most.

Hey!
So on Thursday, I attended the Dress for Success Gala.

Not familiar with Dress for Success? It’s a non profit organization that provides professional attire to disadvantaged women, preparing them for the workplace by offering counseling, advice, and proper clothing. It really is quite fantastic, and I was inspired by the success stories of the women involved.

The night honored Nicki Minaj’s mother, Carol Maraj, pictured here with her two sons.

It also gave Tommy Hilfiger the humanitarian award, for his philanthropic contributions. I grabbed a pic with him at the end of the night.

The evening called for cocktail attire, so I pulled a sparkly Halston dress out of my closet, topped off by Louboutin ribbon back sandals.

It was an amazing night! I’m definitely going to begin volunteering my time to Dress for Success.
Clothing seems frivolous, but the proper outfit can increase confidence, and help you get a job that can ultimately change your life.
Pretty powerful, no?

Visit DressforSuccess.org to learn how you can get involved. Check out their marketing video here:

Smootches!

She writes, “I would say my style is very colorful, trendy and happy.”

” I love incorporating African pieces made with Ankara into my wardrobe as often as possible and am drawn to bright colors and crazy prints.”


” I also love very affordable clothing and finding cool and unique stuff at thrift stores-especially winter jackets!”

Boom! You’re the bomb! I love absolutely everything!

Today we have a special Fashion Bomber treat!
We’re featuring the endlessly dapper artist Jidenna from Brooklyn:
His hit song ‘Classic Man’ is the bomb, and his look is just as intriguing as his music. He writes, “My style is heavily inspired by the Harlem Renaissance with hints of traditional West African design. The marriage of European and African aesthetics is a direct expression of my heritage.”

” I always appreciate a clean contrast in pattern, color, and culture.”


” More importantly, I enjoy when outfits make specific statements in the context in which they are worn.”


” I didn’t invent the suit, but in my pocket of the industry, 3-piece suits are rare. Ironically, it is now more conservative to wear a snapback, t-shirt, and jeans than it is to wear a high collar and waistcoat. Therefore, wearing a suit is a somewhat rebellious statement.”

” Although I am breaking the rules of hip-hop culture by wearing a suit, I’m not too cool to sweat in it. I’m more concerned with the fit than fitting in.”

I like it! Dapper indeed. Be sure to send in more pix when you get a chance;)

It’s been a while since we’ve had a shoe closet feature, but I thought I’d kick off the popular post again with a spotlight on socialite and fashion enthusiast Marjorie Harvey.


The lady certainly loves couture, rocking frocks from Giambattista Valli to Lanvin and Dior. When it comes to shoes, however, she has a clear favorite: Christian Louboutin. From high pumps to booties, she owns red soled heels in neutrals, bright tones, and all grades of exotic fabrications.

When she switches it up, she goes for fabulous in Valentino ribbon back pumps and Louis Vuitton curved heel ankle boots.

Though most of her heels are sold out, you can get a start on replicating Marjorie’s shoe arsenal here:

Thoughts on her shoe game?
