Today’s Bombshell is Ashley from Indianapolis, Indiana:

She types, ” I am a 23 year old fine arts student, pr intern, and commercial model.”

” My style reflects wanting to work in front of the camera and behind the scenes.”


” Black is usually the “go-to” color for individuals working in fashion, but fashion is also about experimenting with trends, colors, styles, and overall self-expression.”


” My hair screams “free”, so anything goes!”


” Where I live (Indianapolis) street style is a rarity.”


” I’m deeply inspired by the places I travel to and try to bring that street style flair to my own city.”


” I incorporate that sort of “coolness” like I’m always on a mission…”

“… because I am always on a mission.”


Ow, alright! That hair! That face! You’re a gorgeous girl.

Happy Monday!
So after attending numerous events at the Nolitan Hotel, including my Cocktails with Claire Event last summer, I decided to go for a little Staycation to see how the rooms were.

The fab team there put me up in the Nolitan Suite, a corner room with a glorious view, a living room, and King Sized bed. I fell in love!


Get into this rain shower and freestanding tub. Fabulous!

With free Wifi, you can do your work anywhere. After checking out, I went down to the hotel’s restaurant, La Cantine Parisienne, to take a few meetings and get my blog on.

If you’re ever in New York, I’d recommend staying there. I honestly didn’t want to leave!

The Nolitan Hotel is located at 30 Kenmare Street between Mott and Elizabeth. Book your rooms and find out more information at NolitanHotel.com. Tell ’em I sent you!

*I shot my look for the day on their dope rooftop.

We’re ending this week with Briana from Maryland:

She kept her description simple, defining her style as, “Dramatic Tomboy Chic.” See what she means below:

Yep, I love this! I sifted through dozens of submissions today, but this one stood out. You dare to be different, but it works. You’re a Bombshell!

Happy Friday!
So while in the BVI, I spent lots of time with Taraji P. Henson, and couldn’t help but marvel at how fabulously fit she was!

I had to ask her about her fitness and diet routine. Read on below:

FBD: How many days a week do you tend to work out?
TPH: When I have the perfect week, I try to work out 6 days. Working out is hugely important to me because it makes me feel physically and mentally empowered and allows me to eat a normal diet. When I exercise it helps keep my mind clear and makes me feel calm and happy.

FBD: What is your preferred form of exercise?
TPH: My routine is a full range of motion. My trainer helps me switch it up so I don’t get bored. I attend a class called Cardio Barre and I work out with my personal trainer two or three times a week as well.


FDB: Do you adhere to any special diet?
TPH: Let me be very clear: I love to eat, entertain, and go out with my friends! But I still eat healthy. Don’t try to put bread on the table when I am out to dinner, but I would love a glass of Pinot Noir.


FBD: What do you typically eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Any snacks?
TPH: I love to cook and I am very good at it. A good breakfast is a fabulous way to start the day and this usually means eggs, some fruit and maybe a little chicken sausage. I am a major grilled salmon and grilled vegetable girl for lunch or dinner. And I must have the crunch of a salad every day. My go to meal, however, is soup, and I am obsessed with 9021Pho which luckily is across the street from my manger’s office. I’m not a big snack person and I don’t eat desserts.


Well, there you have it! I’ll have to try 9021Pho next time I’m in LA!
What do you think of Taraji P’s tips?
And how do you stay in shape?

We’ve doing featuring lots of Texas Bombshells lately! I decided to move over to the West Coast today with Asia from Sacramento, California:

She says, “My style is kind of like urban chic.”

” I love bright colors.”


” I think shoes…”


“… make the entire outfit.”

“Instagram: @islahoney.”

She says, “My style is a mix of vintage and classic pieces.”

” I live for bright colors…”


“… and showstopping prints.”


” It’s a must to have that one piece that has people ask…”

“… “Wow! Where did you get that?!?””


Well, where did you get that bee printed dress? It’s love!

So on Day 2 of Summer Sizzle BVI, guests were treated to a white party.
Fashion Bomb photog Karl Pierre was in the building to snap a few stylish guests.
Take a look:

Crisp minis, maxis, and short shorts were the call for this statuesque group.

A white halter number was given some punch with printed sandals.

Even more leggy models! These ladies kept their looks interesting with a variety of fun footwear.

It can sometimes be hard for guys to stand out at these types of shindigs, but this young man got it right in patterned shorts and a white blazer. Shout out to the Photo Bomber in the back.

Accessories designer Jamal also opted for subtle prints in a pattern accented white tee and shorts.

This model hit the middle of the dance circle in a polo shirt and matching crisp pants.

And lastly, Ms. Taraji P. Henson seriously sizzled in a white pleated dress with Saint Laurent sandals.

She later posed with Summer Sizzle BVI organizer Terry Donovan, who looked smart in white separates and a fedora hat.

I was tardy to the party (it wasn’t my fault!), though Karl did capture me dancing it up at the end of the night. I wore a Givenchy Scarf Dress that you will see again.
It was a fun time!

What do you think of the style at Summer Sizzle’s white party?

So I just got back from the British Virgin Islands, and wow: I had a wonderful time!

I headed down there for their Summer Sizzle fashion show, an annual display of international and local design talent. I actually co-hosted the show alongside lifestyle specialist Kenny Burns; Taraji P. Henson along with celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff were in the building to lend their talents to the festivities.

I brought Fashion Bomb photographer Karl Pierre along with me, so we have *tons* of pix from the fashion show (the recap is coming soon!). Until then, just thought I’d share a few flix from our weekend trip.
Day 1:

We all stayed at Surf Song villas, a quiet resort on Beach Island’s Southern Shore. I was lucky enough to be placed in the pool house, so invited everyone over on day one for an afternoon of tanning, splashing, and good old fashioned fun.

For the day, I pulled out my ‘granny’ swimsuit: a skirted Calvin Klein creation I’ve had for at least 10 years. LOL.

Day 2:
On Day 2, Kenny and I headed to the venue for a run through for the show later that night.

I wore my 3.1 Phillip Lim I Love Nueva York tank with cut off Zara jeans and my Christian Louboutin Impera pumps.

After a quick trip to Cane Garden Bay with my college friends, we graced the stage at the U.P. Cineplex.

I kept my look comfy in Isabel Marant pants, a draped top, and my Brian Atwood studded sandals. Kenny was quite dapper himself in Gucci separates.

And finally, on Day 3, we truly kicked back on a chartered boat, which took us to the baths at Virgin Gorda, a place with large granite boulders protruding out of the water.

I wore a Beth Richards high waisted camo print bikini I scored at TheOutnet.com, along with stacks of gold bangles from Nasty Gal.


It was a great time with amazing people! And Taraji was such a gem!




Stay tuned for an interview with her regarding her fitness routine. You’ll want to check back in!
Oh and Summer Sizzle is 100% open to the public. If you want to come back next year, learn more about it here.

*Many thanks to Christina Rice and Terry Donovan for the amazing experience.

Today’s Bombshell is Shaterra from Houston, Texas:

In an e-mail titled, “It’s my time! Fashion bombshell of the day!“, she typed, “FASHION is me.”

” I’m Shaterra a fashion stylist from Houston, Texas.”


” I’ve been into fashion since elementary.”


” I would always cared about how I looked and what I wore.”


” I would create my own outfits from what my mother and sister bought me and always wanted to add extra pieces or It could very wrong if it didn’t fit to my liking. I would make excuses not to wear certain outfits and would rather get things made. My mother started taking me to a tailor who would make me dresses and Bows to match.”

” My style is freedom. I am whoever I want to be when I get dress, most of the time I love to stand out and make statement. I love colors & the idea of how when you put something on can change your feelings and make you look awesome.”

” – I think about fashion & dress for the time I wake up & go to sleep. I don’t get tired of it.”

” I can get dress like a skate boarder or miss America.”


Cute! I love your printed sets and distressed jeans.
