Today’s we have 2nd time Fashion Bomber Akil from Buffalo, New York:

He says, “I am an Academic Advisor at Buffalo State College and I am also the author of DapperAdvisor.com.”

” On my blog, I aim to inspire young professionals to dress well for their body, lifestyle, and career.”


” Last year, I was fortunate enough to be featured as a Fashion Bomber of the Day, and I believe that my style has matured significantly since then.”


” This past summer, my mother taught me how to sew in an effort to help me save some money.”


” As a result, I started tailoring most of my clothes, particularly pants and dress shirts.”


” I would describe my style as classic yet modern because I appreciate all classic menswear, but with a modern fit.”


” For more of my photos, please feel free to check out my instagram account @dapperadvisor.”


Hats off to mamma! She taught you well!

Happy Tuesday!
Yesterday, I was honored to attend the Studio Museum in Harlem Gala:

The event, which champions artists of African-American descent, brimmed over with notables from the fashion, beauty, entertainment, and political world. It was my first Gala, so I was happy to be there!
Take a look at a few fly attendees:

Erika Munro and Debbie Lorenzo

A stunning beauty in a Givenchy Tribal Print Jersey Gown

Designer Tracy Reese and Dr. Rosemarie Ingleton

Me with 12 Years a Slave Director Steve McQueen

Studio Museum Director and Chief Curator Thelma Golden in Duro Olowu

Oprah’s Adam Glassman, Bethann Hardison, Mike, and Grace Mahary

Lovely Fashion Bomb Readers and Museum Board Members

Fashion Photographer Bill Cunningham

Beauties in B Michael America and Christian Dior

I attended as a guest and not press, so didn’t bring Pierre with me inside (hence the Iphone photos–my bad!).
Instead of go with a typical gown, I decided to take a risk in a whiteTopshop tuxedo anchored by a sequined shirt.

Stuart Weitzman nudist sandals and silver rings completed my look.

Gotta admit: I ultimately felt a tad underdressed!
But I have another gala coming up next month (I’m on Ebony Magazine’s 2014 Power 100 List, and have been invited to attend their gala in LA on November 19th).

The search is on for the perfect Gala dress!
Until then, thoughts on my choice?

The fashion merchandiser and stylist says, “My style reflects how I feel inside…”

“… it’s my way of showing the world what I feel on that specific day.”


” My style is my expression, it’s me :)”

Fabulously eclectic. I love it!

We’re kicking off this wonderful week with Chantal from Toronto:

She says, “I would describe my style as poetic strokes of old school.”

” I’m constantly inspired by different forms of art, poetry, music from past eras…”

“… and fashion icons, such as Aaliyah, Erykah Badu and Solange.”


” I implement different pieces of clothing into my outfits as a representation of myself and my passion for art.”


” I view myself as a walking canvas, so I might as well make the paint worth looking at!”


“Thank you!”


Yes! You’re giving me Zoe Kravitz/Lisa Bonet realness. I love it!

Happy Friday!
So last night, I was invited to a launch party at Maison Gerard for the book Monsieur Dior: Once Upon a Time.

It was my first time going to…anything Dior, so I decided to dress up a bit in a Kimberly Goldson blouse and a Stella McCartney Axelle Embroidered skirt, topped off by a Zara bow.

Still rocking with my Christian Louboutin So Kate’s…

And threw my Oak New York coat on top for warmth.

The party ended up being pretty low key, though I did go ahead and purchase the book for my fashion library.

I’ll have to let you know how it is!
If you’re just a fashion fan with a soft spot for beautiful hardcover books, you can purchase Monsieur Dior: Once Upon a Time at Amazon.com.
I’m off to run a few errands and catch some meetings in the city.

Have great weekends!

Today’s Friday, so that means we have a Fashion Bomber!
Check out Wale from St. Louis, Missouri:

He writes, “My style is primarily influenced by the Italian principle of sprezzatura – generally translated as studied carelessness.”

” I look at style as a deeply personal thing and for me that means creating a classic look with my twist.”


” I want to be able to look back 20 years from now at the things I wore…”

“…and not only [feel proud]…”

“but that I could still wear them. “


You are the definition of dapper! I love it!

We’re bringing our Bombshells back to the States with K.T. from San Francisco:

She says, “I am an emerging designer from the SF bay area.”

” My online boutique is KTRcollection (www.ktrcollection.com) and I am also a fashion blogger at www.KTRstyle.com.”


“I have been a huge fan of your website and instagram for a long time.”


“I love everything your team post and the selection of styles you have showcased as a daily inspiration!”


” I never realized there was a section for us to submit our photos for a chance to be featured, and I’m sure you get so many emails, but I figured it’s worth a try!”


“The photos I’ve attached are all styles designed and handmade by me for KTRcollection. Hopefully you’ll have a chance to see them and I love to hear your thoughts! 🙂 “

Hot! You’re absolutely adorable. I look forward to following your blog.
