Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Ashleigh from Seattle

Today’s Bombshell is Ashleigh from Seattle, Washington:

She writes, ” I am a school administrator by profession but a TRUE FASHIONISTA by heart!!!!”


“… I was awarded the Fashion Bombshell title sometime last year but I feel my style has evolved for the better since then.”


” I would describe my current style as “Posh and Lady Like with a touch of Edge”.”


” Like I stated before I am an administrator which means I am in and out of Elementary schools daily, so most of the time I try to dress conservative and sophisticated…”

“… leaving me to bring out my more edgy pieces on my days off.”


” On my down time I also manage a fashion, beauty and life style website called Piecesofpi.webs.com.”

” On it I highlight local events, music artists, beauty products, show off my OOTD, and much more.”


” People can also check out my blog at Piecesofpleasantpie.blogspot.com or Instagram @leighantone… “


“My philosophy is “All a girl needs a BIG SMILE and a GREAT OUTFIT because it’s true: when you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!””


Indeed. What do you think of Ashleigh’s looks this time around? See her first feature here.

Claire’s Life: Robert Verdi’s Holiday Gift Guide

Happy Monday ladies and gents!
Yesterday, after wrapping our holiday staff shoot at Robert Verdi’s Luxe Laboratory (stay tuned for the pix!), I chatted with our kind host about a few of his fun ideas for holiday gifts:

From electronics to tea, from novels to nail polish, Robert has an eye for fly. Check out his suggestions for everyone on your list:


For the Do-It-All Mom, he suggests calming Tea from TeaForte.com, an Herbal Essences Shower set, and a good novel to relax in the bathtub–he likes, The Liar, The B*tch, and the Wardrobe by Allie Kingsley. Stash all your goodies in a Rugby Striped Bin from the Container Store.


He earmarked lots of Covergirl beauty products for the Glam Gal, including Blast Flipstick, Clump Crusher Mascara, and Nail Gloss. Keep your teeth white with Crest White Strips and Oral B Floss. Clean up errant spills with a Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover and accent any look with a glittery Lauren Merkin clutch.


The DIY Dad can never get enough Gillette Razors and Duracell batteries (duh!).


Furry friends also get love with Iams treats and fabulous ponchos (meow!).

Hip Holiday Hostesses can enjoy Thomas Paul Bath Mats, Dawn Dish Detergent, and an Umbra soap pump.


Have In Laws? Gift ’em the practical. Few households can ever have enough Puffs Tissues, Mr. Clean, Bounty Paper Towels, or Cascade. Wrap everything in a Jessica Cushman Rope Tote.

The Timely Techie probably doesn’t need more than a RumbaTime Perry Watch.

Gift the Techno Teen UrbanEars headphones and a BlueTooth Silicone Keyboard from Brookstone.


If you’re a jetsetter you seriously need to know about the Rise and Hang bag. So cool! Mask tired eyes with Robert Verdi sunglasses (what else?), and avoid lacing up shoes with Hickies hands free laces.


Whether you’re a Busy Boss or a Savvy Socialite, you can make use of a Parker Pen and Moleskin Notebook. Stay organized with large lacquer rectangle boxes from the Container Store, and make calls on the go with an HTC Smartphone.

And lastly, fun for the whole family: Dance Central 3 with XBox Kinect.
Quite an eclectic mix! Did anything catch your eye?

Stay tuned for The Fashion Bomb’s Holiday Gift Guide tomorrow!

Happy Monday, Bombshells!
As you’re well aware, we have Bombshells from all over the nation and now all over the globe! Take a look at what Magdalena from Poland has in store:

She writes, “My blog www.ams-la-la-land.blogspot.com is a mixture of three things I’m in love with: fashion, photography and good music.”

” I try my best to give to every outfit its own story.”


” What is different from other bloggers? My style is based on the clothes from vintage shops but very often in combination with designer’s pieces.”


” My favourite designers: Alexander Wang, Rick Owens, Damir Doma, Barbara I Gongini.”


” I’m also a huge fan of Tim Burton movies, Lydia Deetz is my one and only style icon!”

Très chic! I’m digging how you wore your Kenzo sweatshirt. Loving the leather accents. I’m taking notes…!

“… to create an elegant but still eye catching look.”

Werq! Give me those floral pants!

Claire’s Life: Chatting Fashion and Beauty with Elle Varner

Happy Thursday!
Last night I was invited by Clear Haircare to a Trey Songz, Elle Varner, and Miguel concert at Madison Square Garden! Before Trey’s set, I was offered the opportunity to pop backstage to chat with Elle Varner. Of course I had to talk fashion and beauty!

Clad in Burberry leggings, a Rag & Bone blazer, and a Dolce & Gabbana lace bra, she said, “Some of my favorite designers are Cynthia Rowley, Stella McCartney, Patricia Field, and Betsey Johnson. I’ve fallen in love with their clothes enough times to say, ‘I’m with you. I get you. You get me. And I get you.'”

She continued, “My personal style is eccentric, but it still makes sense…it’s bold [and] girly.”

Her best asset? She laughed, “My ass!” Which brings us to the multicolored Ashish dress she wore to the 2012 BET Awards.

She said, “That was my favorite red carpet outfit. It was such a beautiful dress and it didn’t have to show any skin to be sexy.”

Meow! And I had to ask her about her hair and beauty regimen! She said, “[I’m very] get up and go. [With my hair], I use a diffuser and it dries quicker. The best way is to let it air dry. Sometimes I individually curl pieces of my hair to make it look more dramatic.”

And in terms of makeup, Elle is low maintenance, saying, “My biggest thing is tinted moisturizer and mascara. I don’t like to wear makeup if I don’t have to. Give me a clean slate, maybe a little lip and I’m good!”

Cute!
At any rate, if you don’t know about Elle, get to googling. Her songs are the truth.
Check out my fave song of hers, I Don’t Care:

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Khleo from Atlanta

Feast your eyes on today’s Bombshell, stylist Khleo from Atlanta:

She says, “Some addictions aren’t made for rehab, mine just so happens to be fashion.”


“… My name is Khleo and I am a 21-year-old stylist and creator of my fashion website NeighborhoodJunkie.com.”


“… I would have to describe my style like a mood ring.”

“… I dress according to how I feel, but always do my best even on my bad days.”


” One day I can be wearing vibrant colors and the next Im into All black everything.”


” That even goes for my multiple changes in my hair color.”


” I love picking out things that people question or call ugly but when I put it on they understand it or so say “that is so you”.”


“… I love fashion, its like art to me, except instead of on a white canvas its on the canvas of different bodies.”

” Creating my type of art is what I would wake up and do for free.”


“… God’s gift to me was life, my gift back is what I do with it. My gift just so happens to make people feel and look good in the process.”


Jazzy! Your green hair is bold, but it works for you.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Tori from Chicago

We’re giving Chitown a bit of love today with blogging Bombshell Tori:

She types, “My style is all over the place.”

” I’m a mix of modern and vintage.”


” I work in IT by day so sometimes I’m laid back…”

“…and other times I’m pushing the envelope.”


“… I’m an avid thrifter and DIY’er…”

“… so much so that at least one item in each of my outfits is guaranteed to come from a thrift store…”

“… or it’s something I’ve “put together”.”


” I love bold lips and statement pieces.”

Cute! Your glasses are a nice touch and I’m living for your short cut! See more of Tori’s looks at Glassesandglitter.com.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Shayla from Oakland

Today we’re featuring Headbanger Accessories creative director Shayla from Oakland, California as our Bombshell of the Day:

She says, “ I would say [my style is] Modern Vintage Chic.”

“… I never go with the trends I just BANG in what I want.”


” Fashion for me is a feeling .”


” Sometimes I wanna wear my stilettos, sometimes I wanna rock my sneakers, sometimes I wanna lay back in my beenie slightly hanging off the back of my head, it’s just how I’m feeling. And whatever I wear, I feel sexy.”


” I lovvvvee thrift shopping just because you never see the same thing twice and it’s a rush for me. I have a storage full of clothes that I’m going to eventually turn into a store, but I must say I’m pretty attached to my vintage jackets.”

” I admire Grace Jones for her edge, Alexander McQueen for his risk, Chanel for her class and sophistication. But I just like to create my own and be an influencer.”


“I like to ” Rock to my own beat , but never off beat.””


” I’m the one on the outside of the box not creating my own space. My expression through my fashion, hair, tattoos is what makes me happy, what’s makes it easy for me to breathe.”


” As Creative Director for Headbanger Accessories my fashion sense allows me to always bring new and innovative ideas to the table. I always say ” I go in with a BANG , Come out with a BANG , Stand still with a BANG …. I’m just that….BANG “”


I love it all! Just wish some of the pix were a little clearer. If you like, follow Shayla @ShaylaBang1 on Instagram, and check out her accessories at HeadBangerAccessories.com.
