Today’s lucky Bombshell is Ciara from Washington, D.C.

She writes, “My Style changes by my mood but I like to call it “Chic yet Street”.”

“… I take pieces from my mom’s collection from the 90’s and match them with today’s “Trending Looks”. “

” Born and raised in DC, I have a chance to see all types of looks and I created my own style. “

5 Ciara from D.C.

” Each day while getting ready, I gather inspiration by what I see in magazines, on FashionBombDaily, and how I am feeling. “

7  Ciara from D.C.

” I like to mix prints and colors all with a touch of exclusive jewelry pieces. I don’t wear a lot of expensive jewelry because I like to support local DC designers. I usually buy from them because they are one of a kind and I can let other people be discovered as I tell my story.”

1  Ciara from D.C.

” Style is someone telling their story without opening their mouth. It is capturing how your day is going to go, how you are approaching it, and what you want others to feel when you walk through the door.”

3  Ciara from D.C.


“I am starting a blog, but waiting on that one thing that will set me apart from the rest. On a daily I am inspiring youth in the DC area working for the Mayor. I love my job and all the youth adore me because we can relate through fashion.”

Real Style: Paris Men’s Spring 2014 Fashion Week Day 3

So Paris Men’s Fashion Week ended yesterday, and for my last day, I attended the Lanvin show.
My little point and shoot camera is fine…but doesn’t take the best shots, so I tapped Julien Boudet to capture a clearer picture.

Take a look:

Givenchy isn’t only beloved by rappers and ballers! This slick haired model looked quite handsome in black slacks, sturdy boots, and the label’s Columbian fit plane printed tee.

This editor uplifted a pair of shorts with Givenchy’s black and red Bauhaus Madonna tee. Also, I know you guys think only bloggers wear their blazers perched on their shoulders, but it’s actually more of a European look. It works!

I officially have a new street style crush, and her name is Esther Quek. The Group Fashion Director of The Rake always looks beautifully bada$$, accessorizing masculine separates with supremely feminine touches, like dangling earrings.

This bearded gentleman caught Julien’s eye.

And this young man allowed his tattoos to take center stage in a black v-neck tee and black loose fit pants.
I also captured a couple diverse subjects on my point and shoot:

Angelo Elizabeth of the blog King-Elizabeth.com added interest to an all black look with a gold chain and Givenchy Madonna clutch.

I snapped this picture of Esther Quek outside the Dior Homme show. Please note two things: How much better Julien’s camera is than mine. How fly she is. I’m loving the colors and haberdashery!

And lastly, prints were on tap for this street style photographer who refused to look at my camera! He complemented a Givenchy paisley button down and matching shorts with green socks and white shoes.

And that does it for Paris Fashion Week Street Style!

For yesterday’s shows, I tried a menswear look, which is so not like me if you’ve ever paid attention to my style!

I love a good skirt or dress, but opted for a Theory skort suit in khaki green, topped off by Kenzo patent ‘Aladin’ loafers for day 3.

It’s been cool and rainy here in Paris, so I brought along an umbrella in case of a torrential downpour, and stored a few essentials in a Cashhimi clutch.

Then I was off to blog it up a bit before my next engagement.

Hey Ladies!
So I’ve been enjoying my time in Paris, chatting with select celebs and documenting loads of Street Style.
For my séjour, I actually rented an apartment in the Marais, so took a few moments to shoot one of my outfits on the ‘terrasse.’

It’s actually a bit chilly in France, so I’ve been going for long sleeves, and plucked a Diem Silk Shirt in a Yellow Print by Equipment for my 2nd day of shows.

I picked up the block pattern in the shirt with a bonded split skirt by Nicholas and my Givenchy shark tooth sandals.

What do you think?
