Claire's Life-0319Cocktails with Demetria Lucas aka a Belle in Brooklyn

 

Last night my friend Demetria Lucas aka A Belle in Brooklyn hosted a cocktail event at EVR in Manhattan. Her gatherings always attract a fashionable crowd, so I tapped photographer Dario Calmese to take a few pix of the fly attendees:

It’s Monday, and I decided to feature a repeat Bombshell! Maryam from Philly had her first twirl on the site in 2009. Let’s see how her style has evolved, shall we?

She says, “I would describe my style as old Hollywood…”


“… meets New York.”


” I like trendy yet timeless pieces.”


” Dresses are a staple in my wardrobe.”


” You can catch me shopping in Neimans one day and Salvation Army the next.”


” I keep my accessories to a minimum…”


“… my makeup prim…”


“… and my hair big.”


You’re a beauty! Loving your ruffled peplum pants suit. Gorgeous!

Maryland is having a pretty good day today on TFB, so I decided to keep the party going by featuring yet another stylista from the Old Line State. Take a look at Daniele from Silver Spring:

She writes, “I am a stylist, Fashion Designer, and Creative Director for MontRosee Designs.”


“I believe style is very personal so I wear my identity.”


“I don’t have a particular style but I’ll say my style consists of classic vintage pieces, menswear, structured pieces, clean lines, colors, and lots of prints and jewelry.”


“I love anything that has a classic feel.”


“I am not much into trends, nor anything too girly.”


“I like to mix and match my own pieces from MontRosee while still keeping it classy and personal.”

” My style reflects a 50s/60s aesthetic.”

_07-daniele-from-maryland

“Check me out here on facebook www.facebook.com/MontRoseefashion or MontRosee in IG and my personal IG -@Danielepoeticsinger.”


I like it! Maryland has some eclectic fashionistas, no? Hair, makeup, prints, colors…I’m on board!

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.

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!
