On her website, she explains the theme of her blog, writing, “I got myself into so much debt as a teenager by taking out loans and store cards just to keep up with my bad shopping habits and the need to keep up with all the latest trends.”
” I soon realised that as much as I absolutely loved shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories, none of it was truly worth the guilt-stricken, and emotional downer I felt when I had no money in my account and endless bills to pay.”
“I knew my spending habits just had to change, but I also discovered that going cold turkey and stop shopping forever wasn’t going to happen either. Why? Because I discovered that shopping is a part of who I am.”
” I just love to shop.”
” Whether I buy something or not, I thoroughly enjoy going into shops and looking at the items they have.”
” I can spend hours just walking up and down a high street filled with shops.”
” I love it. I enjoy it.”
“You see, as people who love to shop, we can learn to indulge in our passion, without being hurt by it.”
Wow, you said a lot of things that I could really relate to! And your looks? On point!

We’re serving up today’s Fashion Bomber a bit early! Take a look at Matthew from North Carolina:
He had quite a lot to say! He writes, “I am currently a graduate student with the Poole College of Management at North Carolina State University seeking experience and mentorship in the world of styling.”
” As Yves Saint Laurent once stated, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.” I could not agree more. Fueled by my consumption of luxury goods at an early age, my interest in pursuing a career in styling has grown exponentially over the last several years.”
“The path that has led me to my infatuation with styling was nothing short of divine intervention. My father was a college basketball coach, and while he was away during the season, I developed a habitual shopping habit- greatly influenced by my mother.”
” One might think that this scenario is not that bad, but taking into consideration the fact I started dressing myself at the age of three, the picture becomes a little clearer. By the age of fourteen, my love for style had become unconditional. I remember once making a deal with my mother for a pair of Gucci sunglasses from Tom Ford’s 2004 collection in exchange for my services painting rooms in our home.”
” I was hooked, but I wasn’t satisfied. This was due to the fact that I couldn’t pinpoint what caused the feeling that pulled at my heart. During my undergraduate studies, I was involved in just about every activity on campus at NC A&T. Due to the fact that I was on athletic scholarship; I was unable to hold a job. However, during my sophomore year I found a channel through which I could express my passion for styling- dressing my friends for the NXLEVEL parties.”
” It started off as a challenge by one of my friends to give her a makeover, but by the end of my senior year, I was dressing upward of ten people for the White Party, All Black Affair, and Lovers & Friends; I had found my calling.”
“I would describe my personal style as being the hybrid love child of Coco Chanel, Patricia Field, Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent, and Andre Leon Talley.”
” I have an affirmation for classic tailoring with a modern twist and/or a splash of color. Growing up as an overweight African American male in the south I was never the popular kid in school, but I made it a point that NOBODY will ever beat my outfit. So naturally I hated rules.”
” Growing up I wore white before Memorial Day, wore horizontal strips even though I was over 250 pounds, and always tried to mix media! However, the best thing to ever happen to my style was a tailored suit. I love tailoring, and I find that every person in the world should have a tailored suit because a good tailored suit makes ANYBODY look good (man or woman). On the flip side of that I feel that people should always construct outfits with the high/low philosophy.”
“At this point in my life, I feel I am ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. Determined to pursue a career in styling, I have created a website with the hopes to better brand myself. There you can find styling projects I have worked on in the past, in addition to insights into my personal style. I hope that you will find that this brief profile, in combination with the attached website describes a passionate “Fashion Bomber of the Day”. Once again thank you for your time and consideration.”
Your passion for fashion shines through! Fresh and well dressed. You’re a Bomber with a bright future ahead of you.

We’re headed down South with today’s Bombshell! Check out Rae from Memphis, Tennessee:
The blogger writes, “ My look of the day depends on how I wake up feeling that morning, thus the variation.”
” However, I’d like to think consistency comes in with tastefulness, unpredictability, and pretty neat results.”
” I’d like to be able to write that vintage is my specialty..”
“… Urbanwear, maybe the flirty look, or mixing prints and patterns.. etc.”
” I can admit I love mixing prints and hats..”
“But I like, and sport it all.”
” I strive to keep off limitations.”
” I just like to wear what works.. And anything can work with the right complement.”
” I’m a mix of expression & experimentation.”
” Isn’t that what fashion is about? :)”
You’re adorable! Please send over the name of your blog so we can see more.

Today we have Natasha from Ghana as our Bombshell!
The blogger for Theecstaticflash.com writes, “I’m a freelance writer, dancer and blogger (and scientist by day) from Ghana who currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia.“
” My philosophy when it comes to style is simply this– what’s good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander: know what works for you.”
” I’m a classicist with a penchant for structure and clean lines.”
” I like to think of myself as an adventurous minimalist.”
” One would never guess that my favourite colour is black but as much as I enjoy playing with colour, at my core all black (or white) is truly all I need to survive.”
” In life, as in style, Oscar Wilde said it best: “One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art””

Happy Tuesday!
So if you follow @FashionBombDaily on Instagram, you’re well aware that I attended LuisaViaRoma.com’s biannual #Firenze4Ever blogger’s conference in Florence over the weekend!
The Luxury Italian E-Store regularly invites bloggers to come to Firenze to learn more about their products. Aside from attending lavish dinners, parties, and museum tours, bloggers are tasked with doing a Style Lab, where they style up to 3 looks from Luisa Via Roma using a model and a photographer!
I was assigned gorgeous redhead Mariana Klang, and decided to dress her in pieces that reflected FBD’s unofficial motto of covering everything from ‘hood to haute couture.’
Look 1 was my ode to Brooklyn, and I styled Ms. Klang in a mesh Jeremy Scott x Adidas tank dress and Giuseppe Zanotti Chain Sneakers.
I came to London to cover the last day of menswear shows (more Street Style to come!), but had a bit of drama getting into my apartment (was locked out, yadda yadda, all is fine now)!
At any rate, I missed the last day of London Menswear, but stay tuned for my British Style Diary and more flix from my European trip.
Many thanks to Kelly, Andrea, Nikolai, and Manuela for making this trip so fantastic!

We’re ending this week with a special treat! Check out Lexi aka LexiWithCurls.com from Atlanta:
She writes, “I wanted to submit some pics for Fashion Bombshell Of The Day . Eeek! lol”
“After dropping 50 lbs last year, I had to buy all my clothes over again.”
” Prior to me dropping weight, I was wearing oversized clothes that did nothing for me but make me look larger.”
” I know there are a ton of cute spots for plus sized clothing, but I just didn’t have the confidence at the time. “
“As far as my style: I absolutely love anything African print, clutches, dresses, shorts, etc…”
“Flowy dresses and skirts make me feel very feminine. I also try to dress for my shape. I love fit & flare dresses so it gives the illusion that I have a shape.”
“I am all about comfort moreso than what is trendy so you won’t catch me in heels over 3.5 inches, uncomfortable dresses, or over-the-top accessories.”
“I LOVE crop tops! That is my go to look for the summer.”
Ow! You look fabulous! Great hair, great outfits, you’re a Bombshell. And please share a few dieting tips while you’re at it;)
