We’re ending this week with Texas Bombshell LaMirica:

The Dallas native writes, “I wrote in my idea book that I wanted to be featured on FashionBombDaily.”

” That same week a question I submitted in regards to shades worn by Chrisette Michele was featured…”


“I thought to myself to be more specific, so I added Fashion Bombshell of The Day to my book. (Takes deep breath) here goes nothing!”


” I describe my style as a mix of urban…”

“… and sophisticated.”


” I love blazers for all the things they hide as well as the different ways in which they can be worn.”


” My rule is wear what you want and dare anyone to tell you that you’re not hot!”


” In 2009 I took my love of fashion to the next level and started my own blog, FashionablyL8.com, where I share fashion and lifestyle tips with my readers.”


” I recently started my own T-shirt line, Fashion Junkie Clothing Company, and I’m looking forward to 2013.”

Great looks! I love your orange blazer and that printed maxi!

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Alicia from Oakland

Today’ s Bombshell is Alicia from Oakland:

20130214-125008.jpg
She says, “My name is Alicia Jay. I am 6’6″ and live in Oakland, CA.”

20130214-125313.jpg
“… I have a website called TallSWAG.com.”

20130214-125337.jpg
“… It’s a site for fabulous and fierce tall women.”

20130214-125402.jpg
“I created it because it’s hard to find clothes and shoes in our size.”

20130214-125436.jpg

” I never knew there were so many options out there because I never thought fashion was for me.”

20130214-125934.jpg
” As a tall woman, I went through a lot and never knew I had a fashion voice.”

20130214-140212.jpg
“… Once I found it, I wanted everyone to hear it…boom…TallSWAG.com.”

20130214-130015.jpg
“How would I define my style? I wouldn’t. I believe when you define something, you put a box around it and NOBODIES fashion should be in a box.”

20130214-130418.jpg
“…You should wear what you want, when you want and how you want. No questions asked and no critiques considered.”

20130214-130500.jpg
“I also created T SWAG. It’s my TALL t-shirt line. An expression of how amazing we are and how amazing tall is.”

20130214-130525.jpg
Gorgeous! You are sleek and sophisticated, and a beauty to boot!

So I’m off to London this evening!

For my last day of shows in NYC, I decided to go for downtown cool, so slipped into a floor sweeping black dress by Acne and a leather and wool biker tail coat by Rag & Bone.

I pulled on my DSquared Raso Boots again…

… and completed with a pair of Grey Ant status shades from Shop Akira.

I filmed a little ditty for Fashion Bomb TV (that was left on the cutting room floor!!!)

Then was off.

I tend to go for shorter hemlines, but I was kinda digging this look.
Are you?
Stay tuned for more style diaries and street style from London Fashion Week!

Style Diary: Mercedes Benz Fall 2013 Fashion Week Day 6

Ready for one of my last Style Diaries?
I sure am. I much prefer to hide behind my computer screen, but it’s always fun to give you a quick glimpse into my life before I recede into the shadows;)
For Day 6, I went back to patterns, slipping on a printed Dries van Noten dress and Pierre Hardy boots.

I fell in love with the Pierre Hardy joints once I saw Naomie Harris in them. The minute they fell into affordable territory, I snapped ’em up!

It’s still very much winter, so I slipped on my standby coat. Do you think it works here?

Style Diary: Mercedes Benz Fall 2013 Fashion Week Day 5

Ola! On Day 5 of NYFW, it was all about presentations for me, including stops by Laquan Smith’s Fall 2013 collection and Alice + Olivia’s showing downtown. I decided to calm it on the prints for the day and just wear classic black and white, adding interest with a fringed Thakoon dress and a contrast collar Rag & Bone blazer (can you tell how much I love R&B?)

The outfit was pretty understated, so I slipped on a pair of statement shoes (these DSquared Raso Boots to be exact).

In between shows, I stopped at Cookshop, a fun little restaurant on the West Side, conveniently located close to a lot of off site venues.

Then I was off (expect to see this Theory Cassius coat a lot. It’s warm and sorta goes with everything!)

Style Diary: Mercedes Benz Fall 2013 Fashion Week Day 4

On Sunday I had an interview with Tracy Reese on schedule, along with the Diane von Furstenberg and Y-3 shows.
If I can, I like to wear a piece from at least one designers I’m going to see, so offset an Etro printed shirt with a Diane von Furstenberg skirt.

My Valentino shoes are always a staple, and I completed my look with a Diane von Furstenberg zebra printed Tonda clutch.

To walk in between shows, I chose my Theory Cassius coat, and shielded the sun in Prada Baroque sunglasses.

Hot! or Hmm…?
