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!

You guys have been pretty lukewarm with Bombshells as of late! Perhaps Katherine from New Jersey can pass your chic test:

She says, “I believe my style is very versatile…”


“… only because I get very bored with trends.”


” My style is chic with an edge.”


” I love colors, bold statements, structured pieces, and loose fitting pieces.”


” When I open my closet doors there are no limits, no rules. It’s my little world that I create when I put pieces together!”

Ok! I like a lot of what I see, though your all red and polka dotted outfits are my faves. So wish we could’ve seen a bit more, but I enjoyed your submission.

Today we’re going back to VA with Shannon from Ettrick:

She writes, “I’m a Human Service major at Old Dominion University.”


” My style is always evolving.”


“I love combining “dress down” clothes with blazers or a fur vest to make it different and stand out.”


“… I never could find the perfect adjective to describe my style..it’s just whatever I put together.”


” I like to take pieces from two totally different categories, for example a Yankees fitted and a pair of heels and throw it together to create something that you don’t see everyday.”

Darling! And I’m loving that camo combo!

Today, we’re taking a quick trip across the pond with Ana from London:

She says, “I would describe my style as simple and cool with a touch of edge.”

“… I love mixing vintage, with current on trend pieces.”

“… this gives me the perfect balance in staying relevant and with the times whilst still remaining authentic and true to my personal style.”

“I enjoy and love playing with fashion.”

“I keep edgy during the week but chill out by Sunday with a pair of boyfriend jeans (Levi’s 501,) baggy shirt and a pair of moccasin’s…”

“…throw on a military jacket and I’m ready to go.”

“Check out my looks attached or for more check out my blog my-stylesense.com xoxo.”

Great photography! I think your style description is spot on. No complaints, here!

It’s the start to another great week! I just flew into Paris today and I’m pooped. But before I nap for my life, I give you today’s Bombshell, Paulina from San Diego:

She says, “I’m a Mexican-American girl from San Diego, California.”


“If I had to describe my style in one sentence it would be: Classic with a modern twist.”


” I like to dabble in the current and upcoming trends if they suit my style, body and budget.”


” I usually steer towards pops of bold color, different colorful prints and patterns, and bold accessories.”


“... After many years in the redundant 9 to 5 I decided to add some fun in my life and started documenting my outfits on my style blog: www.lilbitsofchic.com. Hope you can check it out!”

” You can also find me on Instagram and twitter under @lilbitsofPau…”

“… and on www.facebook.com/lilbitsofchic.”

Great submission! Your style is classic, with a kick. I love your colorful/peplum outfits, particularly that lime shirt and floral mini!

We’re closing out this week with Kia from Richmond, Virginia:

She says, “I would describe myself as having a wide variety of styles that combine to create my own personal style.”

” For instance, I love conservative/classic looks…”

“… paired with accessories in the opposite direction…”

“… such as big hoop earrings and tons of gold necklaces, rings, and bracelets.”

” I also love playing with mixing vintage/thrifted…”

“… and trendy pieces together to create something unique. “

“However, one aspect of my style that never usually varies is the feminine underlying quality.”

” You can see more of my personal style at imitatingkia.blogspot.com“

Your ensembles are simply effortless, and I love your hair!

We’re headed to the West Coast with Diane from San Francisco!

She says, “I reside in San Francisco, California but I am originally from the Ivory Coast!”


“My style is pretty colorful.”


“… I won’t say that it is something that you’ve never seen before, but I definitely add my own touch to it!”


“I like colors a lot, and you can clearly see it in my outfits.”


“I am obviously inspired by trends (but without over-exagerating in the copy-paste!)”

Today we’re getting a bit of international flair with Bonang from South Africa:

She was submitted by reader Chazzy, who wrote, “I am submitting this fabulous fashionista as a Fashion Bombshell.”


“…She is building a name for herself as a successful entrepreneur.”


” I love her looks and she is an inspiration to many young African ladies.”


” She just goes to show that Africa is not just veld and animals, but has so much beauty.”


“Her style is vibrant…”


“Classy…”


“… and fun.”

“… Cheers to the queen B, miss Bonang Matheba from South Africa.”

“… [See more at] Bonangmatheba.com.”

Hot! She is indeed a beauty, with a sweet, chic style to boot. Might we have another Queen B on our hands?
