Today’s Bombshell is from BK, baby! See what Adetokunbo sent our way:
She kept her style description short, writing, “ My style is very modest, chic and feminine.”
I love it! Classy and fabulous. I’ll take all those Valentino shoes, please and thank you!

You’re gonna love today’s Bombshell! Take a look at Kari from Chicago:
The blogger for Chicagoings.com, Chicago’s Indie City Guide and Blog, writes, “I’m a lifestyle blogger and freelance writer from Chicago, IL – the BEST city in the world!”
” Like most women, I see fashion as an outlet for self-expression and not a tool for social status or validation.”
” With that in mind, I keep my style fun-to-wear …”
“…and practical.”
” I love mixing prints and experimenting with silhouettes, communicating my mood through the pieces I wear.”
Lovely! I adored your submission. And are those a few Reuel Reuel pieces I see?

Want a fabulous Caribbean excursion mixed with style?
I’d recommend checking out British Virgin Island’s annual Summer Sizzle event.
Set in a deliciously verdant environment, the fashion extravaganza attracts international design stars as well as local talent, in addition to stylists, journalists, and celebrities.
From July 24th-28th, you can enjoy everything from sailing excursions to all white parties to beach escapes!
I’ll be going (with Fashion Bomb photog Karl Pierre), and I’m actually co-hosting the fashion show along with Kenny Burns!
I have never….ever…ever hosted a fashion show or anything of any kind! So it should be interesting.
If you can’t make it this year, keep an eye out for pix, and also set a reminder for next year. It’s always a fun time.

” My style isn’t very easy to put into words! There are a few quotes about fashion and style that mirror my mentality.”
“”Fashions fade, style is eternal.” – Yves Saint Laurent”
“”Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” – Rachel Zoe”
“”Fashion is what you buy. Style is what you do with it.””
“I was born in Nigeria and came to the US as a little girl; therefore, from the very beginning I’ve always looked and been different from the people around me.”
” We didn’t have a lot, so buying what every other child had was out of the question.”
“… This is how I learned to observe the fads of fashion, catch, and even begin to predict staple items.”
” I found my voice in style very early and wasn’t afraid of continuing to be different.”
” I’m not even sure if I can remember a time I’ve wanted to fit in!”
” So my style is me, it’s vintage, playful, unpredictable, it’s “hey, where did you get that?”, it’s “only you could pull that off”, unable to be replicated and definitely not one to blend into the crowd.”
“I began blogging and constantly taking photos of my outfits since around 2006-’07 in the early days of WordPress and Blogger with my best friend Sade.”
” Now we run our own blog together, Soul of a Lion or SOAL for short where we document our love for food, traveling, fashion, school, and being ourselves. “
Love your description, and adore your fearlessness. You’re a Bombshell!

As promised, we have more Street Style from the Essence Music Festival!
Saturday saw an all white day party, hosted by Covergirl, along with a walk down Bourbon Street. Take a look at our gallery to see the best instances of street chic (click the thumbnails to enlarge):
On my way out, I said hey to model Keenyah Hill and Derek J from Bravo’s Fashion Queens.
Then it was time to come home, upload some Street Style, and prepare for the Prince Concert!
Keep an eye peeled for that recap on TheBombLife.com. I’ve been slacking on updating that, but it’s a busy weekend!
Hope you’re enjoying yours as well;)
*Also, shout out to the Fashion Bomb readers who have come up and said hi!
Always so nice to meet you! Come say hi if you see me out again today. XO
**I’ve been way too hot the past two days. No more heels and no more jackets!
We’re ending the week with a bang! Check out Fauzia from Nairobi, Kenya:
She was actually submitted by her friend, reader Pretty Girl Lace, who wrote, “I wanted to introduce you to a gorgeous Kenyan Somali who currently lives in Nairobi [Kenya’s capital] and is only one of many and just a representation of the fashion/entertainment scene we have in the City!”
“Not only do we have Lupita, we have her and many others in the City of Nairobi who represent the unseen and unexpected aspects of the African Continent!”
” Africa is not only what we see in the media!”
Her name is Fauzia and she doesn’t know I’m submitting this on her behalf but I thought I’d try [I know you have so many submissions].”
See more here:
Boom, she’s a Bombshell. Set off the 4th with Fireworks, why don’t you?
See more of Fauzia’s style on Instagram @Fawwie_for_you.

It’s Friday, so we’re featuring a male reader’s style! Our 4th of July contender is Darren from LA:
The graduate of Hampton University writes, “ My style is tremendously versatile, its right in the middle of dapper and edgy.“
” For me, style is all about being bold…”
“…. and wearing what I want.”
” I never strive to box myself into one specific category of men’s fashion because I have an appreciation for all of it.”
” You may see me wearing a custom made slim fit suit one day…”
“… and the next day I’m rocking leather pants, beanie cap, and a plaid shirt tied around my waist.”
” My latest men’s fashion creative moment was with some cool distressed overalls from Zara!”
I think you described your style perfectly! Versatile and bold…you’re a Bomber!
Follow Darren if you’re feeling him on Instagram @thereal_darren.

Reader LadyWone wrote in on yesterday’s Bombshell post, saying, “I submitted my pictures (a lot of pictures) I am not afraid of these young people. I welcome the challenge I can tell they are young from the rude comments that have been made on past nominations. I think this is almost like amateur night at Showtime at the Apollo.” I wrote her back saying we’d feature her this week. So I present you Ledonna from Chicago:
She wrote, “ Age:40.”
” Occupation: Network Engineer.”
” Passion: helping people choose the clothing that makes them feel special.”
“…From the thrift stores.”
” Church: yes.”
” Work: yes.”
” Relationship: yes.”
More here:
Work! I applaud your confidence and courage. I tend to go for more simple ensembles, so your more pared down looks are my favorites.
