Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!
The Fashion Bomb staff is signing off a bit early to enjoy the holiday. But first, check out today’s Bombshell, Charee from Ohio:

She writes, “My name is Charee and I am from Ohio (Go OSU Buckeye’s) currently living in Atlanta.”


“… I’m a new 2nd time mommy to a 4 month old baby boy and I’m a personal style blogger over at www.chareelenee.com.”


“I break all fashion rules!!”


“… My style is trendy, stylish and modern and I believe shoes are EVERYTHING!!!”


“ My motto is Fashion is not always about how much you spend, but how good you can make a $2.00 outfit look like a million buck$!!”

“Have a great day and an awesome Thanksgiving!!”

You, too! What a way to begin the holiday! I love your colorful looks. The mustard top and leopard pants are bomb and the purple look is perfect!

Let’s take it to the Chi today with Instagram fanatic Star from Chicago:

She writes, “I would describe my style as forever changing!”

” I’m a very happy, free spirited, playful person & I think you can kinda see that in my clothes.”

” I don’t stick to one thing.”


” I never know what I’ll put on in the morning.”


” I just start creating based off how I feel & what I have to do that day.”


” I love colors, patterns, leopard and a lot of other things.”


“Sorry the pics are in collages.”

” I got a new phone so I had to copy these from instagram! You can see more @twinklelilstar13.”

You’re a cutie! I love your pops of leopard and your confidence!

Ready for some beautiful jewels to get you in the Holiday spirit? Look no further than designer Manish Arora’s collaboration with brand Amrapali. Chock full of Indian-inspired baubles that give a whole new meaning to the term “statement piece”, I imagine celebrities and “It” girls worldwide are already scheming on how to wear these designs on the red carpet.

From jeweled ear cuffs to simple bracelets fit for everyday wear, the offerings range from functional to absolute showstoppers. Manish Arora is known for his outrageous and very eccentric designs, but with Amrapali’s vision, he was able to present his signatures along with pared-down styles.

I can definitely see the likes of Nicki Minaj and Naomie Harris trying on this jewelry for size.

Just gorgeous no?

You will have to be in possession of a hefty set of coins to snag these pieces, but they will surely be worth it.

Today’s Bombshell is Chee from LA:

She writes, “ I am lifestyle/fashion blogger living in Los Angeles, California.”

“… I am originally from Nigeria, but have lived in Miami/LA for over 10yrs.”


“Style Description – Versatile…”


“… I love to have a great mix of colors and patterns, and incorporate African prints with contemporary styles.”

” [I’m a] vintage lover who believes in mixing the old with the new.”


Great use of prints! Part of me wanted to see just a bit more variety, but you have a signature look and it works for you!

Ready for your second dose of Parisian chic?
Take a look at the stylish Ornella:

She says, “I’m 25-years-old and I love your website…”

“… and that is the reason why I’m sending you my pictures.”


“I LOOOOOVEEEEEEEE FASHION, I’m just a fan, even if I don’t work in the industry…”

“I define my style as classy and stylish…”


“… loving dramatic dresses and classy outfits ….”


“I also love make up and hair and I think it’s a blessing for US to be able to change faces.”


“If anybody wants to get to know me, my FB is Morena Morena Ford.”


“I hope you will like it !”

I do! I can feel your vivacious spirit and energy in these pictures. I love that white suit and of course your turban and strapless printed dress combo.

We’re ending this week on a sweet Parisian note, with a Bomber and Bombshell from the City of Lights!
First up is the super sophisticated Alain:

He types, “I live between London and Paris so please don’t pay attention if the spelling is not exact.”


“I really appreciate your webzine…”

“… and I wanna be on it so this is my photos.”


“I cannot define my style…”

“… but you could say that my influences come from neo dandyism…”

“… with a touch of preppy and many other nuances that I add each day.”


“I work in fashion so I try to maximize every inspiration that I find.”


“You can find me with my associates on this page www.facebook.com/EliteBoisee.”


Ok! Your English is amazing–better than some native speakers! And your looks are fabulous. I’m loving every bit of this. Every bit!
Qu’est-ce que tu en penses (what do you think)?

*I checked out Alain’s Facebook page. His friends are just as fresh as he is!

Behold, a video:

Enjoy.

Yesterday we got a tweet from @JulesiaDesigns saying, “Do you do Caribbean Bombshells or not?” Remembering Pricilla from Guadeloupe and T’wana from the British Virgin Islands, I replied, “We feature Bombshells from Everywhere!” Julesia went on to say, “Checking because I few persons like myself who e-mailed never got a [response] or were never featured.”

Well, alright! Take a look at Julesia from St. Vincent:

She says, “[I’m a] Caribbean Fashion Designer and stylist.”


” Most of what I wear [is] made and designed by me.”


“… My style is very chic , modern and vintage urban wear with a twist of edginess which tells a story about me.”


“[I love] prints and colours…”


“… being from the Caribbean it’s never a fail.”


” I have a Fashion blog about my Fashion Lifestyle. Called ” A Fashionista Name Jules” at www.pixij.blogspot.com.”


” Also on facebook at ‘PixieJ’ and Twitter @JulesiaDesigns.”


” Hope you do enjoy my style.”

Ok! I like your lime green top and high low skirt combo.
What do you think of Julesia’s style?

Hey Y’all!
So most of my days go like this: blog like a bum from 8 am til 3ish, gym it up, then hit the town for press events. Yesterday I had a lot on my plate, including a Spring 2013 Press Preview for Mango, an H&M x Margiela pre-shopping event (I didn’t get anything), and a fundraising meeting for my alma mater, so I opted for comfort in an on trend Baroque Rose Print Scarf Neoprene Dress by Clover Canyon:

It may look familiar, as I included it in our Style Inspiration titled Baroque Flair and Ornate Embellishments. Yes, I’m frequently ‘inspired’ by most things I blog about! Though I paired the dress with Nicholas Kirkwood Metallic floral-embroidered mesh sandals in the Style Inspiration, I decided to let the dress play centerstage for my day on the town, so only wore a Via Spiga cape for warmth (last seen here) and House of Harlow velvet gold button platform booties (last seen here):

I hope you enjoyed my time with the braids. They’re coming out immediately (it’s a pain to work out with them, they’re heavy, etc.)! For one of my last forays, I opted for a braid bun, and accessorized with gold hoops and spiked bracelets from Urban Outfitters:

Then it was off to a Mango Press Preview at Factory PR:



I saw what was on tap for Spring for the brand, took some pix for Instagram, and tried out a few of their delectable accessories.





I want those mirrored sunglasses!
At any rate, there’s a quick peek into a typical day in my life:

Back to hiding behind my computer…

Today’s Bombshell is Nel from Washington, D.C.:

She writes, “My blog is Girls of Plenty (www.girlsofplenty.com).”

“.. While my blog may masquerade as a fashion blog…”

“…it is anything but.”


” It is a platform for a plus size woman to encourage others to be themselves through fashion.”


” As a married, professional woman well into my 30s (very close to 40), with a family to raise, I aim to show women that fashion is what you want it to be.”

” There are no rules that you need to adhere to…”

“… no trends that you have to follow.”


” Wear what makes you feel good on any given day.”

” As an African-American, I also try to pay homage to my African ancestors by wearing something that celebrates my heritage and the sacrifices they made for my freedom.”

” All in all, my style is what it is.”


I adore your style philosophy! Not all your looks are my taste, but that’s what I love about them. You’re boldly, uniquely you, which is refreshing in this age of copycats and me-toos.
