Happy Thursday!
So I flew to LA yesterday to attend Ebony Magazine’s Power 100 Gala.

I made the list this year as a ‘Power Social Media Influencer’ and was invited to the magazine’s star studded Gala, hosted by the ever so brilliant Quincy Jones. For such a historic African-American institution, I wanted to wear an African-American designer, so tapped the talents of Harlem Haberdashery’s Kells Barnett to create this mermaid hem, bold blue gown.

I accessorized with BCBG stone earrings and a simple blue Carbon Showroom clutch.

The actual event was lots of fun! We jammed all night to Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick, Patti Austin, and much more. I grabbed a few flix with Anthony Anderson, Niecy Nash, Bevy Smith, Teyonah Parris, Kyla Pratt, and Tichina Arnold, and even had a chance to chat up Quincy Jones himself.

His advice to everyone: “If you can see it, you can be it.”
At any rate, I am pooped, but I gotta keep it moving! I’m planning our next Cocktails with Claire for New York and LA.
Until then, Bombers and Bombshells, thoughts on my choice for the gala?

We’re continuing our Bomb Bombshell streak with Crystal from Myrtle Beach, California:

She says, “I think of my style as a departure from today’s sexier look.”

” I tried for so many years to be sexy and wear the Louboutins and bandage dresses, but never felt like me– UNTIL I found my style voice: a mix of feminine and avant garde with a dash of “if I were a boy Realness!””


” I look forward to possibly hearing from you soon.”


” Keep up the fantastic work!”

Wow, Crystal! You slay all day. I absolutely love it!

Today’s Fashion Bomber is Chuck from New York:

He was actually nominated by his friend Aidah, who writes, “What really struck me about his style was how pliable and polished his looks were.”


” I think a lot of his looks could work for multiple venues without much alteration, which I think speaks to how much he not only has a natural knack for styling himself, but is also very thoughtful about his choices.”


” It’s like he dresses for the unexpected, which might come in the former of a night out with the guys or a gala at the MET.”


” In this way, I think his fashion sense is very “New York” where spontaneity is a form of survival in a way.”


” And Chuck does spontaneity with a lot of savoir faire!”


“One of the pictures is a collage with his father, who has been a major source of inspiration. While I know collages aren’t typically allowed, I hope an exception will be made in this case because it’s so great to see how Chuck also makes his father’s fashion legacy, uniquely his own.”


Hot! I love the collage. Heck, I love everything!
