It’s a fine Friday, so you know what that means: that’s right, we have a Bomber and a Bombshell for your viewing pleasure. Representing for the fellas is Roeman from New Jersey:
“… I love fashion and getting dressed, I dress according to how I feel or what I want to express.”
“Style is something that comes from within to the way you walk, the way you talk, everything needs to happen to create a style.”
” My style is Mine!”
” I don’t look to be better then the next or expect anyone to like what I wear, as long as I feel good, and I look good, I’m ready to start my day!”
Ok, Mr. Fashionisto! I like what you’ve got going here–you have a distinctive look, and you own it!
If you like, see more of Roeman on Instagram @ForeignManikin.

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.

” I was raised in Austin, TX and take pride in my lonestar state and southern roots!”
” I would describe my style as the perfect blend of edgy and chic.”
” I’m a total girlie girl but I love to mix things up with a little tomboy flair.”
“One of the secrets to mastering my style are mixing high and low price points, such as thrift and designer (I get so inspired by street style looks as well).The finishing touch is a bold statement lip, and I’m out the door!”
Super cute. Love, love, love your hair. Might have to be copying that white jean outfit soon.

Today’s Bombshell is DC native and New York resident Brittany:
She types, “ My style would be considered classic yet trendy.”
“… I purchase classic pieces and put a trendy twist on them.”
” In my world, leopard is a neutral color.”
” To me, an outfit without at least one great accessory is not complete.”

Cute! I see lots of potential here, and love your contrast lapel blazer and leopard pieces.

Alright! You’re certainly a fashion chameleon. Your looks are quirky and unique–they kind of remind me of something Six from Blossom would wear (am I alone?).

Last night I was honored to attend the opening reception for a new exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York celebrating the work of legendary African-American designer Stephen Burrows:
Stephen Burrows is widely touted as the first African-American designer to reach international acclaim. Known for his signature lettuce hems and bias cuts, the New Jersey native dressed the likes of Grace Jones, Naomi Campbell, Diana Ross, and more in his body skimming, colorful, and supremely sexy matte jersey frocks (read more about him in our Stephen Burrows archive).
Burrows’s clothes captured the essence of the disco era, and the exhibit fittingly features clothes on mannequins striking dance poses,with Studio 54 era music and video playing in the background.
For the opening reception, fashion glitterati including Robin Givhan, Pat Cleveland, Bethann Hardison, Iman, Bill Cunningham, Michaela Angela Davis, Harriette Cole, Tai Beauchamp, Debra Lee, Emil Wilbekin, Bevy Smith, and more filled the museum’s entrance and adjoining rooms.
I actually forgot the event was happening until the night before (oops!), so forgive my camera phone pictures, as I didn’t have time to assemble my photography and video crew.
I actually pulled an outfit together last minute, but ultimately went for an artsy vibe in a Peter Pilotto dress, Walter Steiger sandals, and my favorite Proenza Schouler bag.
What do you think?
It was a fun night, and a great way to honor a living legend.
(Pat Cleveland is a hoot. I asked her what was the biggest lesson she learned in all her years of modeling. She said, “Keep Going.” Indeed).
At any rate, I’d highly encourage you to check out the exhibit if you’re in New York. It will be at the Museum of the City of New York, located at 1220 5th Avenue at 103rd street in Manhattan starting today (get more info here). No immediate plans to come to the Empire State? You can purchase the book dedicated to the exhibit, titled Stephen Burrows: When Fashion Danced, here.
No need to apologize! I like what I see of what he presented. A man who likes kids and can dress is a winner in my book!

Ready for today’s Bombshell? Take a look at Abiola from Seattle:
The loquacious Nigerian American fashion journalist, stylist, and lifestyle blogger, was first featured in 2010. Take a look at her new digs:
She writes, “Over the past 2 years my style has drastically refined itself as I’ve matured and become more aware of who I am and what I like.”
” I can tell you I’m somewhat of a modernist, with a touch of ’90s sport chic minimalism mixed with classic bohemian prints and styles.”
“… I’m a vintage gal true and through. Some of my favorite vintage designers include the greats like Paul Smith, Courreges, Thea Porter, Zandra Rhodes, and Schiaperelli, although I do enjoy the no-name/label thrift steals!”
“…It’s nice to utilize both high and low end pieces to create a cohesive signature look, and the blog shares just how to do that with styling tips for vintage pieces, seasonal color schemes, and identifying ones shape.”
“… But there’s no better styling tip than knowing who you are and owning it!”
” Unfortunately as a young lady living in this generation, I know it’s becoming harder and harder to know who you are and embody that confidently; the blog is dedicated to tackling those base level issues with the hope that if we create a safe space where our strife’s are openly discussed and shared, we’ll gain a better understanding of them and be closer to becoming the phenomenal women we were made to be!”
Ok! Love what you’ve got going, and how you add a twist to classic looks with fun pumps and unexpected lengths.
