During Paris Fashion Week, I was asked by Kenya Hunt, producer of Pharrell’s I am Other You Tube Channel show, Style Hunt, to talk about my love of Paris, fashion, and what I was wearing that day:
Take a look below and let me know what you think:
I had just come from the Kenzo show earlier that day (reminisce on the Style Diary here). It was actually quite frigid in Paris, so I covered up with my denim with my J.Crew coat. Which jacket do you prefer?
Today’s fabulous Bombshell is from the wonderful Peach State! Take a look at Alicia from Atlanta’s looks:
She writes, ” I am a Senior Fashion Design student at Savannah College of Art and Design (Atlanta), graduating this spring.”
“… I am currently working on my senior collection and was recently awarded the M. Jack Anderson Emerging Talent Award presented by the National Black Arts Festival at their annual Fine Art and Fashion event hosted by Neiman Marcus.”
” I would describe my personal style as a modern blend of the old and new.”
” I love finding hidden treasures at local thrift stores…”
” and mixing them with more mainstream pieces.”
” I would consider myself a “fashion” chameleon.”
Fantastic! I love every little thing here. Can’t wait to see what you have in store.

She says, “I’m from Houston Texas but am currently living in New York City.”
“My style is “classic with an edge””

” You might see me rocking a designer piece mixed with something from Forever 21.”
“Style comes from within…”
“… you don’t always need a lot of money to look fashionable.”
” My look is everyday glam girl…”

Today’s Bombshell, Wendy, was born and raised in Kenya:
She writes, “Fashion bombshell is not something I’d ever have seen in my future, growing up. I was born and raised in Kenya, and I had always thought myself “too fat for fashion”.”
“I struggled with my weight throughout my teenage years and escalated when I moved to Canada for school in 2010, where most stores did not carry things in my size.”
“Health concerns in 2011 finally pushed me to take control and I lost almost 50 pounds.”
” I was suddenly able to afford a whole array of figure flattering clothes without breaking the bank, because I could suddenly shop at mainstream stores. And so it began. “
“I’ve since become a lot more confident and a lot less hung up on all the “fashion rules”.
“My style is very… feminine. I enjoy a cinched waist, a pencil skirt and an obnoxious heel. I think I exhausted my quota of ill-fitting clothes while I was overweight, and these days, fit is such an important thing to me. “
“I’m Christian, so I do try to be modest with my hemlines and necklines. I’m a little OTT sometimes – I have a friend who says I still have a big-girl personality… I think that’s a great compliment! Also, being African, I really enjoy colour and I wear brights all year!”
“I’m a student, and my budget is tight (TIGHT, I tell you), so I tend to shop Clearance Chic, but I’ve found such gems! It does take time, sorting through all the racks, but it’s always worth it. I bought this turquoise pencil skirt for $4.80!!! Can I get an amen?!”
“I blog over at a la Angel. Come visit me!”
Ok! I see lots of potential here and prefer your more colorful looks. Also, congrats on the weight loss!

Today’s Bombshell is Ebony from Long Beach, California:
She writes, “I’m a scrubs wearing RN by day and in my spare time, I blog at www.rewindfashforward.com.”
“It is difficult for me to describe my style since it is based on my mood which is ever changing lol.”
” I am influenced by current and past fashion trends.”
” I love thrifting and most of the things I wear have some element of vintage involved.”
“In my opinion, Coco Chanel sums it up best; “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” “
“For the most part, I am a girly girl!”
” I absolutely adore dresses and skirts and heels and colors and prints.”
” Every once and awhile I will throw some pants in the mix…”
“As far as accessories, I’m a minimalist. Usually a pair of cute earrings and a cute bag are all I add to a look.”
“I’ll end by saying I love your blog, and am a regular fashionbomb reader. While I am soooooooooo nervous about submitting my pics, I would be super excited to be selected as fashionbombshell of the day.”
Well, today’s your lucky day! I pretty much like everything, particularly your printed pieces and pops of neon colors.
