We’re ending this week with Ormore from Alaska!

She says, “My name is OrMore ‘Louisa’ Moje from Nigeria residing in Alaska.”


” This is my second attempt to be featured as bombshell of the day. My first attempt was earlier in the year Jan 10 and hopefully I’ll make the cut this time around 🙂 Whatever your decision is, I’ll remain a loyal reader of FBD.”

“A little bit about me: I am a twin and the last of ‘many’ siblings, a fashion blogger and a preacher’s kid.”


” I describe my style as “one and done” because I love simple pieces that I can throw on and head out the door.”

” I enjoy wearing solids and sometime play with colors/patterns.”

” I believe a lady doesn’t have to break the bank to look gorgeous so I am constantly on the hunt for affordable alternatives to luxury pieces.”


” Fashion/blogging serve as avenues for me to express my personal style, mood, and culture (picture #7 is me in my Nigerian Iro & Buba).”


“My personal philosophy is, “Fashion is what you make it; your personal style or just another trend.” “

Alright! You look classy and fabulous!

Alright, I realize its December and it may or may not be appropriate weather for sandals, but one can still lust over these Dsquared2 Virginia heels!

Xmas came early for Rihanna (lucky!) as she flaunted her pair on Instagram, causing massive shoe envy. So bomb!

 

The bedazzled Virgina sandals retail for $3,016.84 and feature intricately placed rhinestones and gold hardware.

I think I’ll have to patiently wait for the affordable Zara version while these collect dust on my Wish List (sigh).

 

Bombshell Jai Nice also displayed her killer heels on Instagram and had FBD readers inquiring!

They are available for purchase here in beige and pastel pink. What do you think?

 

Would you rock these Rihanna-approved stunners?

It’s almost the end of the year, but our Bombers are still rolling out!
We’ll be voting on Fashion Bomber of the Year next week, so be sure to submit your nominations here.
Until then, take a look at what Patrick from St. Louis, Missouri sent in:

He says, “I graduated from the University of Maryland (College Park) in 2013 and will be a 2015 Masters of Public Health alumnus from Washington University in St. Louis.”


” I started beyondthemasc.com (my website) in an attempt to challenge perceptions of black masculinity through music and fashion.”

“ I never thought my pursuits would take me as far as they have, but my talent has offered me numerous opportunities, such as becoming the PR & Marketing Executive Assistant for St. Louis Fashion Week and sharing the stage with Tamar Braxton.”


“I would describe my style as affordable, clean cut…”


“with an occasional dissent from the masculine norms.”

Today’s Bombshell is sure to make you smile! Check out Shannon from Miami:

She writes, “I currently live in Atlanta, GA but I’m originally from Miami. My roots go back to Jamaica and Trinidad.”


“My style is very similar to my personality…FUN! I like to have fun with everything that I wear which is why I’m unafraid to try bright colors such as yellow and fun prints like polka dots. “


“Funky, I am told all the time that I’m not exactly normal and I like for my style to be the same. Whether I mix it up and surprise people by going for darker colors or/and for mixing both feminine and masculine pieces such as lace, tutus, and bow-ties! “


“Feminine and Flirty, I’m definitely a girly girl and so my style expresses that most of the time. I’m not afraid to wear feminine colors such as red and purple and add even more feminine pieces such as a floral headband or cutesy delicate tights.”


“You can find my on IG at @shanhem1 and I have a blog that I just started this year… www.Shanscapes.com.”


Fun is a perfect adjective. This certainly made my heart smile.

“Below are my Sewings and Styles, hope you like it. “

Happy Monday!
Last night, I was invited by Lisa Price and Carol’s Daughter to a screening of Ava DuVernay’s new movie, Selma.

Starring Oprah Winfrey, Common, Cuba Gooding Junior, and newcomer David Oyelowo, the movie is a biopic about Martin Luther King, Jr., and focuses on his Civil Rights activism, specifically his marches in Selma, Alabama. Poignant, powerful, and timely, the movie shows how far we’ve come, yet how far we still have to go. The similarities between the 1960’s, where blacks were killed with no consequence, to now, are frankly, alarming. The movie was eye opening, but shows that there is power in people galvanizing together to create change. We have the power!

At any rate, Carol’s Daughter founder Lisa Price invited a slew of fashionable gals to view the screening as well, including Cosmo’s Shiona Turini, Teen Vogue’s Elaine Welteroth, Glamour’s Rajni Jacques, and my fellow blogger boo, Karen from Where did U Get That.

After the screening, we hopped by the after party at the New York Public Library. Though I hoped to catch a snap with Lady O, she was nowhere to be found, though I did grab pix with Common, Tessa Thompson (who plays Diane Nash in the film and wore a gorgeous Rodarte dress), Cuba Gooding Junior, and the fabulous Tia Mowry-Hardrict (she was wearing Stone Cold Fox):

For the occasion, I wore a BCBG Jaxon Tiered fringed jacket with my white Victoria’s Secret pencil skirt.

I wore my Borsalino hat because my hair is a mess…! LOL. And I’m sure you’re relieved I wore a coat, namely my Theory Cassius topper. I completed with Christian Louboutin So Kate’s and Berkshire sheer hose in Tan de Sol.

I couldn’t urge you more to go see Selma. Like 12 Years a Slave, it documents a very painful period in American history, but knowing and reflecting on the past is imperative to understanding today, and advocating for a better future.
Selma hits theaters January 9th, 2015. Mark your calendars and support!

*See a few official pictures from the red carpet below:

Happy Sunday!
So yesterday I headed to the city with the plan to go to a friend’s trunk show, then dip down to Dumbo to attend a fellow blogger’s 5th Year Anniversary Party. I got dressed up in a Served Fresh x Ty Hunter sweatshirt, and Pierre and I were shooting a Style Diary in the middle of Herald Square…

… when we realized that all the traffic jams were because of New York’s Millions March, where thousands of people advocated for equal rights and police accountability, precipitated by the wrongful deaths of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Mike Brown, and countless others.

So we joined the march.


Yep, I was wearing Gianvito Rossi heels. Pierre and I hopped into the crowd at 34th street, and walked downtown on Broadway, chanting ‘No Justice No Peace,” as Pierre captured a diverse group of protesters carrying signs, united for progress.
Take a look:






My thought the whole time was: We are documenting history. This is amazing. And while a few Instagram followers got caught up in my attire, my #OOTD wasn’t my focus. My goal yesterday was to support and bring awareness to the cause by documenting the proceedings and using my platform to help spread the word.







I majored in African American studies in college. Issues of diversity, fairness, race, and equality are always at the forefront of my mind, whether I translate it through the lens of fashion, photography, or another medium.

Shout out to the Fashion Bomb Readers I met along the way.

As their sign says: The struggle continues. Don’t be silent. #BlackLivesMatter.

Love and Light,
Claire

We’re ending this week with Camille from Philly:

The blogger for JealousyReigns.com writes, ” I would describe my style as fun…”


“Chill…”


“And Minimal…”


” Of course we all would love to adorn ourselves in those luxury items but the true luxury is in styling yourself in something easily attainable and making it personalized so that YOU stand out as an individual.”


“Looking good makes me feel good and positive energy is contagious, so pass it on;)”

Cool! I love your all white ‘fit.
