We’re keeping our Bombshells international this week!
Take a look at what Laeticia from Montréal sent in:
She wrote, “I am a Fashion Editor for Ghubar Magazine…”
“… and a blogger for my personal website, TheFashioniStak.com.”
“I would describe my style as ” On the go City Girl “”
Cute! Your printed dress and dotted shoes look is my favorite.
See more of Laeticia’s style on her blog, TheFashioniStak.com and on Instagram @TheFashioniSTak.

So I gotta admit: I’m suffering from a bit of Fashion Week ennui.
While I want to go to shows (fun!), going takes me away from blogging. I’ll learn to strike a balance, but for now, I’m happy as a clam to be home, typing away!
At any rate, the weekend allows for a bit more flexibility, and on Sunday, I hit up LaQuan Smith’s presentation (wasn’t it fabulous?).
I kept my look casual and somewhat comfortable in a Neil Barret Modernist Sweatshirt and a Peter Pilotto skirt.
My feet have been in lots of pain with the Louboutins, so I wore my Giuseppe Zanotti lace ups, and kept the red going with a Carbon Showroom perspex clutch.
Red lips and I was ready to take in some shows!
At any rate, I’ll get back on the horse tomorrow! Until then, I’ll be blogging away and continuing to tweak the site.
*If you’re home, tune into HLN today!! I was filmed for a ‘Road Warriors” segment. Check it out!
LaQuan Smith, like several other designer this Spring 2015 season, skewed more subdued for his latest collection. Neutrals dominated his foray, with black and white playing on A-line skirts, short shorts, and sheer maxi dresses, with moments of glamorous sequins adding a bit of sparkle.
Smith, who recently turned 26, called this capsule ‘Grown and Sexy’ to reflect his current mood. He explained, “It’s edgy and sexy. There’s a very hard and soft rocker glam element. It’s giving you a little of St. Tropez, Dubai, and New York City.” Think shimmering cocktail dresses, dangerously short hot pants, and see though trench dresses, fashioned out of lace.
Having found a recent fan in Kim Kardashian, he constructed her signature crop top and pencil skirt combo in orange. Using ‘it girls’ as his muse, he also fashioned a short and bomber set with Christina Milian in mind, along with skin skimming frocks anyone from Rihanna to Zoe Kravitz could rock effortlessly.
With all his celebrity fans–Nicki Minaj, Sevyn Streeter, and Cassie to name a few–Smith continues to put forth his singular aesthetic of sassy chic with a dash of playful irreverence.

Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs left bodycons by the wayside for Spring 2015, sidling up to looser silhouettes with draped, ruched, and pleated details. The signature cut outs for which the brand is known still came to the fore on knee length shifts, but the spirit was decidedly more relaxed. The duo does overtly sexy oh so well, but this season saw them flexing their skills with a ‘less is more’ type attitude.
Taking inspiration from Cleopatra, Cushnie et Ochs offered sleek separates in a color palette of marigold, dusty pink, white, black, and teal, offset by tubular gold necklaces, cut out arm cuffs, and disc shaped earrings. Ruffles fluttered on v-necks and hems, adding volume to the mix.
Flippy fringed skirts brought some diversity to the showing, as did variegated striped sets, which played on one shoulder tops, pencil skirts, and barely there bikinis.
While stunning, some pieces gave off a vibe of deja vu. The grommets? Versace. The halter neck dress with a dangerously high voluminous ruffle? Balenciaga or even Anthony Vaccarello. Designers are known to pluck inspiration from others, but those particular pieces fell flat simply because they lacked originality.
What triumphed, however, were the collection’s more simple offerings. I could see the white ruffled hem jacket and loose fit trousers on Zendaya, and any of the marigold yellow options on Solange. Beyonce would kill a soft pink crop top set.
What do you think of Cushnie et Ochs’s latest collection?

We’re ending this eventful week with Tarah-Lynn from New Jersey!
She says, “[I’m] the style blogger behind Adornedinarmor.com!”
” Yes, “adorned” as in Miguel’s “let my love adorn you”! (That’s what I have to sing when people misspell my site haha).”
” In actuality, my blog name derives from Ephesians 6:13 which basically states to adorn yourself with the armor of God to be able to fight off whatever comes at you.”
” I am a woman of faith that loves fashion and embraces my own personal style, so I figured that the name was fitting! My site “Adorned in Armor” recently got shortlisted in Cosmopolitan’s 2014 UK Blog Awards as their “Best International Fashion Blog w/ Independent Fashion Bloggers”!!!”
“It’s difficult for me to label my style simply because I’m not afraid to try anything and since it’s always changing. Slightly, yes, but still changing. I do have a love for chic pieces and mixing different prints and textures. My closet has a lot of color but I also love a great monochromatic white or black. My style is versatile and modest (yes, I cover up!).”
I love it all, though your green/yellow look is my fave!

He didn’t say much, only writing, ” I’m born and raised in Philadelphia and I love creating characters through my dress.”
I love it! You have a fantastic variety of looks, and you make them all work. I think I need that ‘Just Drop Out’ tee.

Happy Friday!
So yesterday was a doozy! Not only did I relaunch FashionBombDaily.com with a spanking new design, but it was also the first day of New York Fashion Week!
And while I popped by Lincoln Center to attend the BCBG, Richard Chai, Desigual, and Marissa Webb shows (with a stop by a Harlem’s Fashion Row luncheon in between), all I could think about was how you guys were feeling about our new, updated look.
When I finally had a chance to slow down, I read all your comments. Common complaints were that the site was too clunky, too busy, and overwhelming. I hear ya!
I’m currently working with my webmaster to revise the site with your concerns in mind. Though the homepage will most likely stay the same, you can now access the ‘Blog’ tab, which features posts in the same format you’re accustomed to. Bookmark it!
And I just want to let you know that I’m working hard to make sure we deliver all the latest celeb style, fashion news, and street chic in a format that works for you. The goal was to enhance your Fashion Bomb Daily experience, not diminish it.
At any rate, this site is all about you. Let me know what you like (as you always do), and I’ll do my best to strike a balance between my goals for the site and your wishes. And thanks for the support! I loved meeting so many of you in and around Lincoln Center!

I hope you continue to visit as we make this transition.
And be sure to check out the Blog Tab!
Stay tuned for tweaks and even more Fashion Bomb Daily Fabulosity.
Smootches!

*For Day 1, I wore a Helmut Lang Strata Blazer and Pants, along with Chanel Oversized Hoops and a Chanel clutch from A Second Chance Resale.
I finished my look with Christian Louboutin pumps. My 2nd and big toes are still cramped in pain.
I’ll definitely be wearing more reasonable heels for the rest of Fashion Week! Stay tuned for more Style Diaries and instances from my life.
We’re kicking off New York Fashion Week! Khaliah, blogger for TheCovetedK.com, was submitted by her friend Stephanie:
She wrote, “Only she can actually describe her own style, but ever since I met her she’s always exuded a lovely feminine confidence.”
“She is able to combine trends with a classic twist that accentuates her body.”
“Her simple style never feels forced…”
“… and for a fashionista on a budget i believe she definitely hits the mark.”
“I hope your readers enjoy her style as much as I do. :)”
“She documents most of style shopping adventures on her blog: thecovetedk.com and her instagram is also thecovetedk.com.”

Today’s Bombshell is Valentine from Edmonton, Canada:
She writes, “My name is Valentine, I go by Vee. I’m a 22 yr old university student and I live in Edmonton, Canada.”
“I am a huge fan of this blog. I stay connected with most of your social media accounts.”
” I’d say I’m slightly obsessed lool.”
“I am a lover of fashion.”
“I’d say my style is as modern as they come and I dress myself according to two things: the weather and my mood/emotions.”
” If I wake up feeling like wearing a girly dress and some sneakers.. I’ll go for it with no hesitation of what people may think.”
” Most of my looks are pretty simple and they look well put together.”
Young, sassy, chic! You’re a Bombshell.
