Wonderland magazine editor Julia Sarr-Jamois is having a fabulous 2012 so far. After ending last year nabbing a spot on Vogue‘s best dressed list, she made a splash this month at Men’s Fashion Week in Milan walking in the Alberta Ferretti demi-couture show alongside fellow it-girls Solange Knowles and Oroma Elewa. It seems the street style guru has no intention of slowing down in 2012 with her latest project as the face for Tibi’s Spring 2012 campaign.
Past ambassadors for the Tibi brand include socialite Olivia Palermo. It’s wonderful to see a woman of color representing the brand–someone who is beautiful, and a true tastemaker in the fashion industry.
Happy Wednesday!
Hope you managed to survive the SOPA strike. Basically, the government is looking to pass a law that could shut down websites like ours, for posting content to movies, TV shows, music, etc. It infringes upon bloggers rights to create and have fun atmospheres for you guys. The few hour strike today could be indefinite if this law gets passed. Read more about it and protest with us at www.sopastrike.com.
At any rate, the strike is now over, so I give you today’s Bombshell, Cuera from Cleveland:
She says, “I’m a Small Business Owner, Fashion Blogger, Jewelry Designer, Stylist…”
” and a Freelance Fashion Writer for examiner.com.”
“My philosophy is that anyone can look like a million without spending a million.”
“I shop everywhere.”
” I believe in buying less but investing in quality clothes that will last forever. “
I do, too! I love how you play with patterns and bold silhouettes. And give me that bag!

Happy Tuesday!
Today’s Bombshell is designer Mali Romeo aka Mali Ro from Brooklyn, NY:
She writes, “My style is definitely my own.”
“… it’s a reflection of my mood.”
“… sometimes I’m really classic…”
“…or really bold…”
“… or both!”
“… I’d like to think that I’m always dressed for the occasion.”
” I’m also a tall and slim girl, (I’m 5’9), so I always dress to compliment my height and shape.”
” If you noticed I rarely wear any jewelry.”
“… maybe a nice watch, bracelet or a necklace, if the outfit calls for it–that’s about it!”
Mali is super modest and didn’t mention her clothing line, so I’ll go ahead and do it for her! See some of her work at www.maliromeo.com.

She says, “I would describe my style as casual, glam-rock, and androgynous.”
” I love simplicity…”
“… but I also don’t mind thinking outside of the box!”
” I’m an eighteen-year-old senior in high school.”
“… and although we have to wear uniforms, I refuse to just stick to the regular ol’ collar shirt and khaki’s.”
” I am also a big fan of grunge fashion and I don’t believe in dressing straight off the mannequin.”
” Bargain shopping and thrift shopping excite me and I have even made my own pieces (like this black dress).”
“I am currently striving to be a fashion stylist for both runway and for celebrities.”
Well, you’ve certainly changed a lot over the years! You definitely have a more unique look, from your hair down to your shoe choices.

Hey Hey!
I’m giving you our Bombshell a leetle early, as I’m jetting off for a day of relaxation and fun. Hopefully Gaynelle from LA will keep you entertained:
The owner of LA’s Philthy Ragz Boutique was actually submitted by her daughter, who reads daily:
Her daughter says, “Even though my mother is a bit shy, I know she secretly would love to be a Bombshell of the Day!!”
“…She had so many options to post…”
“…I didn’t even know where to begin!”
“…She owns a boutique in Southern California”
“I’d be uber excited and proud if she were featured!!”
Well, there you go! I can totally see why you wanted her featured. She has flair and style, and I adore her hair.
What do you guys think of Gaynelle?

Hey Hey!
So it’s my birthday! While I plan to celebrate with a mani at Polish Bar of Brooklyn, lite shopping, and a birthday dinner, the festivities truly started earlier this week with a whirlwind trip to LA to meet and greet world champion runner and Olympic hopeful Jason Richardson.
Bevy Smith, Syreeta of Black Sports Online, and more gathered to meet the Nike Athlete, see what he is about, and support him in the pursuit of his Olympic dreams. Our first stop was to meet Jason, and observe what he could do on the track.
And at night, we attended a dinner to toast to his accomplishments.
Today’s fabulous Fashion Bombshell is Courtney from ATL:
She writes, “My style is a representation of my personality…”
“… and describes who I am.”
” My style is one-of-a-kind, simple, elegant…”
“… classy, sexy, fun…”
“… and my style makes me feel comfortable in my own skin.”
“I OWN my style!”
Ok, Courtney!! I’d say you have a flawless dress game. Focus on bringing a bit of your nighttime pizazz to your daytime looks.

She says, “My style is definitely very risky, as a plus size woman I still wear my shirt tucked in, I wear shorts and short skirts or dresses.”
“… Fashion is not meant to be limited by the price on your clothes tag.”
” I think my style reflects my moods.”
” I wear what I like, even if its a couple season old.”
” My style is very much me…loud and out there, fun and colorful.”
” I take a lot of pride when I get dressed, and I hope others see that as well.”
Alright! I’d say you have some hits, some misses. Be careful of fit, especially with pants. What do you guys think?

Happy Monday!
As you read this, I’m flying out West for a quick trip to LA! To keep with the California theme, I thought I’d feature Valerie from San Francisco as today’s Bombshell:
The Nigerian native says, “I originally fell in love with fashion after being immersed in the modeling industry once I finished playing basketball in college. I realized that I needed to have a clear understanding of my own personal style and comprehend what influences today’s well-known and successful designers.”
“…I began reading more fashion magazines and blogs, both domestically and internationally. I’m largely influenced by the NY fashion scene and European culture.”
“…My personal style for the fall/winter is a more of a grunge, rocker chic look. I love mixing dark and neutral tones and pairing it with a vampy lip color. Fashion is an art that I have grown to love and may eventually venture from modeling into more of a designer role.“
“…I currently have a blog, www.entertainmentchic.blogspot.com, which not only delves into my love for fashion/sports, but also includes discussing trending topics, such as dating. With my goal to travel/move to Australia this year, I plan to share more of my thoughts on international fashion and how they are influenced by the US.”
Sounds interesting! I’ll check it out. I would have loved to see just a few more pix, but from what you submitted, you’re quite fly.
