For yesterday’s roster of shows, I went for warmth in a Duckie Confetti fur.

The coat made quite the statement, so I kept my look simple with a Zara pussy bow top and All Saints leather pants. I focused on accessories, namely Chanel chain belts and a Chanel bag from A Second Chance Resale.


While taking a few flix with Karl Pierre, I ran into my friend Shaun Ross. He’s a major model (you might remember him from Beyoncé’s Pretty Hurts video), so I asked him to participate. This is what he gave:

Serve!
At any rate, today is super chill! Two of my favorite babies are turning one, so I’m going to celebrate their first year in the world, then hit up the Michael Costello show tonight.
Stay tuned to this space and Instagram for updates.

Also: I want to hear from you! Where you at? What’s going on? How can we make your Fashion Bomb/Fashion Week reading experience better?
Let me know in the comments.

Hey!
So I had a pretty full plate on the first day of Fashion Week!
Everything kicked off with the BCBG show at 10am, followed by an appearance on Arise TV 360 to chat about all the hot shows we can anticipate.

For the day, I kept it somewhat sporty in a Givenchy Bambi Tee and a Geometric Skirt from the brand.

I slipped on a Zara coat for a bit of warmth, and almost slipped several times on the snow and ice (!) in a pair of Gianvito Rossi Leather and Perspex Pumps (I had to get them after they were Bomb Product of the Day!).

I accessorized with a few fun baubles from A Second Chance Resale, including a Chanel Lizard Tassel Clutch, Chanel Tortoise Earrings, and Hermes bracelets (their selection of Chanel, etc is sick).

Then, I was off to talk NYFW with Arise TV!



See me blab below:

How did I do? At any rate, I am running out the door (what else is new?), but keep it locked in to our Instagram to see the blow by blow!

I’m taking it pretty easy today because there is a *ton* of blogging to do!
But the team will be out snapping street style and providing show reviews throughout the day.
Smootches!

Woot! Had a few hours of free time this am, but am prepping to fly off to another show!
Before then, take a look at Erika from Chicago’s style:

She was submitted by her friend Kawaza, who wrote, “[Erika] is a wardrobe stylist based here in Chicago.”

” Erika is not your typical female who is just following the trend of being a stylist. Her work is amazing!”


” She has a keen eye for fashion.”


” I really won’t be shocked if we see her work on the pages of Vogue and Bazaar in the future.”


” I’ve worked with her before when I was trying to “model” (side eyes myself) and she is the most humble and sweetest person.”


” Now, I won’t describe her style because I’m not her. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.”


” However, I will say her signature is definitely her short haircut with a pair of fly shades!


“Check out her work at www.frenchvendette.com and her IG is @frenchvendette.”

Alright! She definitely has a distinct look!

But, oh wait, there’s more.
See what our photogs Karl Pierre and Brandon Isralsky snapped outside of Lincoln Center on Day 1 of Fall 2014 Fashion Week:

It’s hard to keep it cute in colder temps, but this young lady triumphed in a printed skirt suit, black beanie, and skin toned tights.

Mirrored shades and coordinating tights were all this young lady needed to stand out from the crowd.

The men always serve! A fur collar, driving gloves, and cap brought this look to the next level.

No fashion week is complete without multiple June Ambrose sightings! The celebrity stylist stuck to her signature quirky chic aesthetic in an Alberta Ferretti Fur, Moschino dress, and Eric Javits hat.

Her assistant, Tukie, is quite the fashion maven herself. I loved her Prada lug sole boots.

This young lady was serving bell bottomed realness, and I am here for it! Work!

Dominatrix inspired leather and harnesses were on tap for this show goer.

Fashion Week is always more fun with friends. These young ladies kept their looks practical and fashionable with ankle boots, wool hats, and sizzling hot cross body bags.

Cosmopolitan Fashion Market Director Shiona Turini looked fab on the go in a Just Cavalli printed jacket.

Layering is always very necessary, as witnessed by this young man’s stacked socks and multiple button downs.

More evidence of fabulous layering! Loving the lemon hued cardigan and pastel sneaks.

And lastly, this Fashion Bomb reader looked like the consummate snow bunny in furry separates.

I took a quick pic with her also!
Stay tuned for my Style Diary in a few hours.
Sleep time!
Until then, what did you think of our Day 1 Street Style ensembles?

Today we have a repeat Bombshell! Mimi aka ‘Corporate Chic’ from Houston wanted you all to get an eyeful of her style evolution:

She says, ” I am continuing to have fun with my non typical Corporate Attire.”


“… This is my year to be even more gutsy yet professional.”


“I am enjoying inspiring women to dress for less, and look GREAT while doing it.”


” Thrift/Resale/ and Consignment (TRC) Shops have become my best friend.”


” It’s about having confidence in yourself while having your own unique style.”


“I love walking through the Corporate America glass doors in my sequin attire and not thinking twice.”



” As I coordinate my natural hair to add to the finishing touches I think of the awesome quote “Look like a GIRL, Act like a LADY, and Work like the BOSS”.”


” I believe women can do all those things!”

“Even on my off days I love having fun with my style. Why Not?”


“My motto is “Dress the Part, Shop Smart””


Love that motto! Your submission was a total delight! You look great!
Check out Mimi’s first submission here and see more of her style on her blog www.meyelabel.com.

So someone on TheBombLife.com asked me how I got my start in fashion, so I decided to write a little essay about my journey.

I haven’t quite reached the promised land, but I’ve learned a lot along the way;)
