We’re closing out the week with Toni from Chicago:

She writes, “My style motto: wear what makes me feel beautiful and well put together.”

” I wear what best suits my body type and enhances my best features, which I feel are my legs.”


” I love dresses and skirts and love the womanly sex-appeal of a great fitted dress or skirt.”


“…I would describe my personal style as versitile, clean-cut…”

“… comfortable and colorful.”


“I started my blog www.prettydarkgirlstyle.blogspot.com….”

“… as a way to capture my daily outfits and display my love for fashion.”

Cute and colorful! I love it. My favorite might be your purple and green outfit.
What say you, boos?

TGIF!!
Last night I had the sincere pleasure of hosting a Spring Trends Shopping Party at Brooklyn boutique, Michelle New York.

Guests sipped cocktails provided by Brooklyn Republic Vodka while perusing the shop’s spring ready pieces:








Michelle had tons on tap to usher in warm weather, including on trend neon bangles, flourishes of color, and classic accents like gold cuffs and bracelets:









During the event, I scurried around offering suggestions on how readers (and Jihan) could put a bit of spring into their wardrobes.

For example, with Emilia, I added a bit of sizzle to her blue dress with a neon belt cinched around the waist:


Voila!

It was super fun, as always, to meet readers, and do what I love to do (shop) at one of my favorite boutiques!

As for my outfit, I was dipped in all Michelle New York design, including a one shoulder tangerine dress and sparkling jewels:



I decided to color block a bit with a pair of patent YSL Tribute Patent Sandals in the season’s hottest color: mint.

What do you think?

Special thanks to Charlene and Michelle of Michelle New York, Brooklyn Republic Vodka for providing drinks, as well as Miss Jessie’s and Essence for supplying goodies for our goody bags!

If you couldn’t make it, we missed you! But be sure to pop by Michelle New York (376 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11217) if you ever find yourself in Brooklyn. In addition to having oodles of chic pieces, the accessories are bananas! And if you see something you like and live out of state, give them a call at (718) 643-1680 to inquire about prices and shipping.
Stay tuned for more fun Fashion Bomb events.
Smootches!

We’re keeping it Cali-fab with today’s Bombshell, Ellie from San Diego:

She writes, “My style is effortless, fun, young and chic.”

“ I feel that the best outfits are the ones you just throw on and go.“

“… Anyone can buy fashion, but you can’t buy style.”


” That’s what makes a person’s style so unique, it’s about personality.”


” My style is the one thing in my life I have full control over; I can’t control my past or my future but I can control my wardrobe.”


” Check out my blog: www.fashionwithellie.blogspot.com.”


Cute shoe and purse game, lady! I love your style, and how you paired a snazzy dress with sneaks. Thumbs up!

Yesterday I was invited by the lovely folks over at Stuart Weitzman to a spring shopping event hosted by blogger Man Repeller and dj’ed by Solange Knowles. I’m a fan of Stuart Weitzman shoes (my Snakeskin Platswoon pumps are a fave) and always love a chance to hang with fellow bloggers and Fashion Bomb friends, so headed uptown with Jihan to take a look at the brand’s latest offerings:

A quickly found a few lustworthy shoe styles, including these metallic tipped ‘Capsize’ heels (worn by both the Man Repeller aka Leandra Medine and Solo herself in pink and green respectively)…

…along with a plethora of brightly colored wedges, glittery peep toes, and flat sandals.








Cute, right?

After ogling the shoes, I of course said wassup to Solange…

And also met Man Repeller for the first time.

She remembered me from a few tweets during Fashion Week (we were both running late to the Michael Kors show–I think we both missed it, too). Ah, Fashion Week memories.
At any rate, it was a chill night, so I slipped on my ‘editor’s’ uniform of a blazer and pencil skirt:

Y’all know I love me some Helmut Lang, so splurged on the brand’s ‘Era’ blazer (Cassie wore it here; I also included it in this Style Inspiration. Yes, I end up buying stuff I blog about all the time).

I balanced it all out with a pencil skirt from Club Monaco, along with my favorite Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra wedges.

I kept the black/white theme going with a Barbie/Chanel t-shirt I scored at Kiliwatch in Paris, then added pop with Ruby Woo lipstick. I actually meant to grab my black bag, but was in a rush, so threw everything in my ‘summer’ tote: a Stella McCartney Falabella with silver hardware.

The tote is brown, but to me it looks a little gray. Yeah, it doesn’t really ‘match’, but I figured I could rock with it.

And there you have it.

If you’re intrigued by any of the Weitzman shoes above, check ’em out at www.stuartweitzman.com. Those capsize pumps are officially on my wish list….

Today’s Bombshell is California cutie Cheryl:

She says, “For me, it’s all about wearing clothes instead of allowing them to wear you.”

” I find that I can’t pin down my style to one specific look or trend because I wear whatever makes me feel happy.”


” My main motto when it comes to fashion: If it looks good on me, then I can make it work.”

” And if it doesn’t look good on me, then it’s not my style.”

“I blog over at Oh to Be a Muse (www.ohtobeamuse.com).”

“… I hope that my style inspires…”

“…and that I get inspired by the style of others.”

Oh, to be a muse, indeed! I love most of your looks, especially that hi-lo skirt. It’s been a great week for Bombshells, no?

It’s another glorious day, so it’s only fitting we have a glorious Bombshell! Check out Trina , a Chi town native who currently lives in Atlanta:

She says, ” I’m a mom fashion blogger on www.thebabyshopaholic.com.”

“I have a classic chic style!”


“I’m like the urban Audrey Hepburn wearing big earrings and fabulous shoes!”


” I believe shoes and accessories can take an outfit from zero to 60!”


” My motto is buy fabulous shoes first, then pick the outfit!”


” My outfits must be comfortable and make me feel good!”

I agree, a bad shoe can set it off like no other. Love your accessories game.
What do you think of Trina?

Today’s bold Bombshell is writer and plus size model Allie from New York:

She says “I would define my style as a trendy and glam…”

“and classic with a twist.”

” I love bold colors and mixing prints and patterns…”


“… but ultimately, it’s classic pieces that define my wardrobe.”

“My blog is called Inside Allie’s World. Check it out at www.alliemcgev.blogspot.com.”

Hey, Allie! You’re gorgeous, and you work those colors and prints like a pro. Love it, and will be checking out your blog.

We’re taking a break from the DMV with Kenyatta from Berkeley, California:

She writes, “I like to think my style is simple with an edge.”

” It’s eclectic, flirty and not too serious.”

“I like mixing & matching and channeling my mood at the moment.”


” CONFIDENCE is the key component of my wardrobe!”

“See more of my looks at www.stylejunkyard.com.”

Cute! Your looks aren’t over the top, but they seem pretty cohesive. I’d love to see some of your dressed up looks, but the casual ensembles you sent in seem relaxed and California cool.

Forgive the slow posts today, I’m still recovering from last night’s watch party!
But of course no day on the Fashion Bomb would be complete without our daily Bombshell. Check out Jasmine from Maryland:

She writes, “My style is classic,”


“Vintage..”


” With a dash of trendy!”


“..I never, ever forget the nail polish!”

“See more of my looks at www.webhautejas.com.”

Hey Jasmine! You have some great pieces, particularly that multicolored blazer. I think some things would come across better if styled differently–for example wearing your long pants with a heel. But from what I can see you’re off to a great start!

Happy Thursday!
So last night, Gabriel and Rae of StuffFlypeoplelike.com, Gabi Fresh, and I got together to watch our spots on BET’s Rip the Runway:


Friends and family filled Highland Park to munch on chicken wings, sip on spirits, and wait to catch our moments on TV.

Since it was a sports bar, I decided to go for a sporty/spring vibe. I pulled out my Rag & Bone neon yellow jeans and my fave Diesel jean jacket (I always rock it with two YSL buttons I bought at the YSL exhibit in Paris–which I loved):

I kept the sporty vibe going with a pair of Alexander Wang Chloe sandals in blue (you may remember Rihanna wore them in red):

(I took a shoe picture with Marc Clark, who was rocking a pair of Jeremy Scott x Adidas sneakers). Inspired by this post, I painted my nails in a few coats of Essie’s Mint Candy Apple:

And finished everything off with an Alexis Bittar bracelet and CC Skye Crystal Angel Wing Necklace.

Then it was time to watch the show!

I was too busy screaming and hiding my face to actually watch myself–but from what I hear, I did ok! It was definitely fun to do–and I’d love to try my hand at TV again. After watching the show, we enjoyed the night, toasting to TV and trying new things:

It was a fun night!
