Today we have a repeat Bombshell! Check out Erica from New York:

The blogger for The Glamorous Gleam says, “I was a Fashion Bombshell of the Day a little more than 2 years ago here. I’m submitting again as a style update so here goes…”


“My still pretty much remains simple and laid back…”

“…but has become a bit more polished and mature over the past few years.”

” I have incorporated more color and have been experimenting with prints…”

“But I’m still true to my neutrals and accessorizing with my makeup, bags and shoes.”

“What can I say, that’s just me.”


“I love mixing trendy pieces with classic pieces for balance.”

” Style should be effortless and natural, when you try too hard it shows. Wear what you like and just be you.”

Cute looks! Loving that gold dress. See Erica’s first feature here, and follow her style on her blog Glamorous Gleam on Instagram @glammzmore.

Brandon Isralsky is still pounding the pavement on our behalf, bringing the most interesting and eclectic moments of street chic from Gotham City.
Take a look at his latest snaps:

I’m all in for this New Look cloud printed two piece! The chic white pumps and statement necklace are nice touches.

A wool coat added a cool twist to a denim shirt and sweatpants.

This young man added a fedora and serious stare to his olive toned suit.

It was all about headgear for this divo as well, who bet on blue tones and smart readers.

And even more hot hats! I’m feeling this striped pageboy.

A few well placed bangles and statement accessories jazzed up this printed jumpsuit.

Leather accents are always hot for fall! Really into this leather accented sweatshirt and matching skirt.

Lastly, a little pop of leopard and a warm, nubby jacket are pretty much all you need this season. This fashionista is the definition of chic!

When’s the last time you purchased a dress by Tracy Reese? Or ordered an item from LaQuan Smith?
Do You Support Black Designers?

I only ask this question because yesterday, when I posted an article about June Ambrose’s 2nd sunglass collection with Selima Optique, quite a few comments were a bit disparaging. ANON00 wrote, “$250 to $350. They’re cute but her demographic does not fit what she’s trying to do. she’s more QVC, her shades should be $90 to $160 IMO. This reminds me of when she tried to sell those turbans for over $100.” Another Anonymous commenter added, “No thanks…the Versace shades I bought from Macy’s were only $190…”

Interesting that most of us wouldn’t hesitate to buy a pair of $200 Versace frames, but when the tag reads June Ambrose, we suddenly feel the goods need to be offered at a bargain price.

Of course we’re all adults: buy what you like! But if we wish to see a change in this industry from a diversity standpoint–with more models and people of color in general– shouldn’t we show support with our wallets?

What do you think?
And when’s the last time you purchased an item from a black designer?

Tsholo from Botswana had so much fun twirling in our most recent How Do You Wear It? feature, she decided to send in a few more picture to illustrate her personal style:

She types, “I am a creative and fashion forward 26 year old Fashion artist from Africa, Botswana.”


” Growing up, when words failed me I spoke fluent volumes through my clothes.”


” The sciences of appearances- outward appearances to inner well-being have always been my personal legend.”


” Through this medium of communication, I developed a keen interest in how easily society can be influenced over a substantial period.”


” The way in which an ensemble of words or a single item of clothing can instantaneously persuade the masses never fails to intrigue me.”


” For this reason I fell in love with fashion and culture…”

“… the fashion creative arts and its industry as a whole.”


” Hence I’d like any fashion opportunity or fashion feature in your esteemed magazine/site. My blog: http://thekhoifro.wordpress.com/ :)”

Great looks! Beautiful words with gorgeous garments to match. I love that last jumpsuit…and just about everything else. Bombshell!!

Hey Bombshells!
Yesterday, I was asked to speak on a panel about diversity in the media, sponsored by New York Urban League of Young Professionals (NYULYP). For the occasion, I went opted for a Suno Embroidered Cotton Dress:

It was a bit of a statement piece, so I kept everything else simple, accessorizing with my go to Suede Creme Jimmy Choo pumps.

A touch of Cyber Lipstick by Mac, and I was ready to go.

*I didn’t take…any pictures from the event, though I did grab a couple snaps for Instagram:

The discussion centered on how we can ameliorate the images of people of color in the media (and combat the negative stereotypes perpetuated by reality TV shows, for example).

My answer: create your own content! And if you don’t like what you see on TV, speak out about it. Networks will respond to pressure from viewers.

Today’s Bombshell is Okpara from Lagos, Nigeria:

She writes, ” I do not have a blog but I treat my Instagram page as one.”

” I really hope you like my style.”


” My Instagram handle is ( @neoma_o) and twitter is @neoma_o.”

“I am 20 and a 400 level law study at University.”

“Yes, I love Mickey!”


“I believe in Africa, I have faith in Nigeria and I have never longed to be of another nationality because the streets of Lagos have made me who I am.”


“Life is too short not to look good or Be scared of people judging you if you express yourself in a certain way which is comfortable to you.”


“There is a power associated with feeling beautiful.”


Indeed. See more pictures here:




You definitely have a lot of variety here! Great submission!

Hey!
So as you undoubtedly saw on Instagram, we kicked off a new Fashion Bomb TV feature this weekend called Cocktails with Claire: Closet Confessions. The idea is to profile and uncover the style of a fly fashionista by sitting in their closet over cocktails, and talking about clothes!

I chose the fabulous DJ Kiss as my first subject because I think she has great taste, and knew her closet was to die for.
Check it out:

What do you think of this new feature?
And would would you like to see next?

Thanks to Moët Nectar Impérial Rosé for fueling all our fashionable fun!

*A few of you asked about my top. It’s by Peter Pilotto, from his Fall 2012 collection. I last wore it here. Shoes are Peter Pilotto x Nicholas Kirkwood, also from last season. You can still snag a pair or two at Antonioli.eu.
