It’s been a little while since we’ve had a Fashion Bomber, no? I’m breaking our brief hiatus with Ralph from Maryland:

He says, “I’m a visual artist, fashion designer/stylist, and aspiring hip hop artist.”


” I reside in Baltimore, Maryland with the hopes of moving to NYC this fall to pursue my craft.”


” My style would be described as Urban Contemporary.”


” I love to mix street wear, vintage, and high end.”


” I’m heavily influenced by 90’s hip hop, and 70’s Blaxploitation movies.”


” My biggest fashion inspirations are Gianni Versace, Ralph Lauren, Patricia Field, and Sean John.”


” Most people know me as the guy with the blonde beard, and color is a part of my style trademark as well.”


” I have an online magazine called G.O.D. (Generation of Dreamers) and a menswear line called D.O.G. (Death of Glamour). Both can be viewed at www.d0gg0d.com (0=zeros). Follow @Ralphseagrams on twitter & instagram. Check out my music videos & interviews on youtube “RalphSeagrams”. Thanks Fashion Bomb daily!”


Yep! That beard is certainly eye catching! I like it, and your style is unique.

The Fashion Bomb Squad has taken over the blog today–how are they doing?
For today’s Bombshell, I decided to feature a repeat stylista. Check out a few new looks from New Jersey resident Erika:

She says, “I am Erika Batista, fashion blogger from www.lolabluethecloset.blogspot.com.”

” … I was one of your Bombshells of the Day sometime last September/October 2012.”

“I really loved being on there and would like to know if I can participate again. “

“Lola Blue, the closet represents the modern Latina woman.”

” She is the independent woman, who wants to make her presence in the world;”

“… the hard working, fierce…”

“…sassy and strong-willed woman, who knows what she wants.”

” I have quickly gained her audience through my bilingual fashion blog Lola Blue, the closet (www.lolabluethecloset.blogspot.com) which I launched in November 2011.”

” I have gained double the audience by writing in both English and Spanish.”

” I work endlessly for what I want and little by little I am seeing the fruit of my labor. “

“Exactly a year after starting my blog, I decided to launch Lola Blue, the closet, an online jewelry boutique (www.lolabluethecloset.com), in less than 3 months I am already seeing popularity among other bloggers and websites who as well as me love chic, fab and budget friendly pieces.”

Ok, Ms. Erika! Your style is simple, yet flattering. I’ll have to check out your blog!

Today we’re featuring an ATL Bombshell! Check out a few looks from Archel:

She writes, “I’m nervously throwing my hat in the running to be a Fashion Bombshell of the Day.”


“Being raised in Atlanta made me playful, but being Liberian made me creative.”


” I feel like my style is a fun combination of my background.”


“I can’t afford all the fashion that interests me, so I get joy from designing statement attire in my newly opened shop. My clients are really more of the bombshells than I am!”


“Ankara styles, tribal attire, african prints, whatever you call this cloth, isn’t a trend. African women have worn it forever and now we’re finding new ways to make it flatter our lifestyles!”


“As an entrepreneur, a smile is necessary for me, but a glass of wine is my usual accessory :)”


“I’m online at www.itsarchel.com, and on Instagram/ Twitter @itsarchel“


“Thanks for your time and consideration!”


” Here’s to hoping for nice comments!”


Indeed! You may remember, we featured Archel’s online store before here. It’s great to see the lady behind the magic. I love the prints!

So I’m in Paris!

My European fashion week adventure is coming to a close, and I fly home on Thursday. It’s been a lot of fun, but also very tiring, and there are many Mail Bombs and What to Wear requests that need solving (and my full attention!). Over the weekend, I attended the Kenzo show (see my review here), and since I love Kenzo so much, decided to wear a jumpsuit from their Spring 2013 collection.

It’s been pretty warm and sunny à Paris, so I slipped on a denim jacket (and my J.Crew coat over that–not pictured). I accessorized with my mirrored Proenza Schouler PS11 for a pop of color.

If only I had known, I would’ve packed a pair of white pumps! But with few options, I simply wore my DSquared Raso Boots.

I’m so ready for Spring (aren’t you?). The great thing about this jumpsuit is that you can unzip the leg to make it into a short suit/romper.

Please believe you’ll be seeing me in this again when the weather truly warms up!


Fashion Week is always a humbling experience for a blogger, especially for a blogger of color. The blog has come super far in almost 7 years, but we still have a ways to go. I try my best to stay positive, put on a smile, wear cheery colors, and keep plugging.

Shout out to Cliché, Faith, and Jihan who hold it down big time as I do the Fashion Week Circuit.
Also, thanks for your support guys, you make it all worth it.
Smootches!

*Just for fun, check the jumpsuit on the runway:

Seeing an item on a model who looks like me certainly encourages me to buy. What about you?

Today’s Bombshell is Edwina from Queens:

She says, “I’m a beginner fashion blogger (versicolorcloset.com) originally from Haiti but currently residing in Queens, NY.”

” I’ve always loved everything fashion, all colorful things, and I also have an insane obsession with high heels.”


” That is why I decided to start a blog as an avenue to express myself through my style…”

“…and hopefully not only inspire but also influence my readers in the process.”


” My style is very colorful no matter the season which goes to show that I tend not to follow trends but rather wear what makes me comfortable.”


“I am a devoted Fashion Bomb Daily reader and it’ll be an honor to be featured on your site :)”


“Thank you for considering my pictures.”


No problem! Loving the colors here. You know what you like, and you make it work.
What do you think?

We’re ending this week with Fatima from Queens:

The 24-year-old types, “I like to show up…”


” and show out lol.”


” My style is all about embracing my body…”


“… keeping it sassy…”


“… and simple.”


“… also setting myself apart from others…”


“… while serving all types of fierceness!!!”


Alright! You have a great figure, and showcase it well. My favorite might be that River Island plaid/houndstooth dress!
