Today we have a Brooklyn Bombshell! Check out a few of Tajma’s looks:

She writes, ” I hope to be featured on your wonderful fashion site.”

” My style changes all of the time…”


“”… but as of right now I am into vibrant colors and prints.”


” I love to wear clothing that complements my shape without being too revealing.”


” Dressing up for me and taking pictures is fun….”


“…because I now have the confidence to do so.”


Cute! I see you have a thing for Boxing Kitten, Patricia Field, and Guess. I appreciate your plays on patterns and fun use of colors.

Let’s face it: virtually every designer does prints. Out of all of the hundreds each season, I bestow Duro Olowu with the title of my favorite print master. He has a way of being fashion forward and bold, yet so breathtaking even the most timid would want to try his pieces on for size. He paired all of his latest designs for Spring 2013 with nude pumps to let his eye-popping dresses and separates have their own stage.

Though Spring is normally characterized by bare thighs and midriffs, Olowu kept the hemlines long and the silhouettes quite covered. Long sleeves played on printed contrast-pattern lapel blazers and no button was left undone on dresses where lengths fell slightly above the knee.

How many prints can one mix? There were no bounds here, creating a kind of patchwork effect with varying florals, abstract patterns, graphic prints and more.

Will any stylish stars be brave enough to wear his gowns on the red carpet? I would love to see Joan Smalls or Jessica Alba work them!

What do you think? Did any looks catch your eye?

Ready for one of my last style diaries for NYFW?

I’ll admit that my silhouettes and hemlines have been on the saucy side this Fashion Week, so for day 5, I decided to reign it in with a more demure knee length kelly green A-line number by Prabal Gurung (courtesy of Rent the Runway).

I was going for an editor/Jackie O type vibe, so kept everything simple, accessorizing with Kate Spade Gumdrop studs, my Prada sunglasses, and my Givenchy bag (I dunno if you can tell, but I get a lot of use out of my investment pieces).

I added interest with my new babies: a pair of Valentino zebra haircalf shoes with a reasonable kitten heel.

Then I was off to attend a whopping 5 shows.

I have three shows today, then I’m off to London on Friday!

At any rate, the somewhat long, demure silhouettes is clearly not one of my go-tos, but I think it worked.

Today’s Bombshell is NAzzi TWazzi from Philly:

She says, “I’ve been a fan of Fashion Bomb Daily for so long now.”

:…I finally mustered up the guts to send in my photos for the Fashion Bombshell of the Day.”

” My name is NAzzi TWazzi from Philadelphia (pride and joy).”


“My style is edgy, over the top.”


” I do things people are afraid to do.”


” I may have an edgy style…”

“…but I do everything gracefully.”

Edgy? Over the top? I can see that! Hats off for being so courageous. I really like your Swag shirt and fringed skirt.

It’s been pretty hot in NYC, so I decided to stop the madness with the blazers and sweaters, and go for ease in a simple Balenciaga Sphinx t-shirt from their Egyptofunk collection.

Black and black is always chic, so I accented the look with an Alexander Wang Croc Effect leather mini, but set it all off with white Alexander Wang Joan pumps (previously worn here).

The look skewed a little rocker chic, so I accented with a Tiffany’s cuff, multi metal bracelet, and a cuff from Bruce & Glen. Oh and I can’t forget my go-to Givenchy bag.

Fashion Week is in full force, but we always make time for our daily Bombshell feature!
Take a look at Ashley from Dallas, Texas:

She says, “To satisfy my fashion obsession, I have started a fashion blog recently called crowninglooks.com.”

” I would describe my personal style as very feminine…”

” fun…”

” and polished.”


” I like mixing trends and classics…”


“… new and vintage pieces…”


“… and discounts with high end.”


” I do consider the world as my runway!”

Cute! I enjoy your printed pieces and am loving your maxi skirt.

For Day 3, I married my love of blazers and preppy skirts with color in a printed cardigan from Zara along with a Karl Saatchi pleated faux leather mini skirt.

I slipped a simple Helmut Lang tank underneath it all, and accented with a J.Crew necklace, my fave Stella McCartney Falabella bag, and my Kurt Geiger pin heel sling backs (previously worn here).


I really haven’t been studying my Youtube braid style tutorials like I should, so pulled my braids into an unimaginative low ponytail.

Chic, simple, and slightly saucy. Just the way I like it:)

While I opted for schoolgirl chic on Day 1, I felt Day 2 called for color!

The kind folks over at Rent the Runway were nice enough to send over a few dresses for me to flaunt during Fashion Week, and I was instantly drawn to Thakoon’s So Electrifying Dress (retail $990, rental $125):

I loved the hot pink color and the saucy peak of leg! The dress was a little racy for daytime, so I decided to tone it down a bit with a similarly vibrant yellow Theory Stretch Cotton blazer, and complete with a bold lime Proenza Schouler PS1, and neon orange Christian Louboutin wedges (at the end of the day, it’s all about comfort).

I’ve been playing around with a few different hairstyles for Fashion Week, so opted to pull my braids into a high pony to let the outfit play center stage.

A few swipes of MAC’s cremesheen glass lusher, richer gloss, and I was ready to take on the day!

Happy Friday! We’re closing out this week with Jaleska from Houston, Texas:

She types, “My Name is Jaleska aka “J’Mulan” From Houston, Texas, but I reside in Baton Rouge (I’m a freshmen attending Southern Baton Rouge University).”

” The way I Describe my style is simply Unique and Dope.”


” I am inspired by Teyana Taylor–the way she expresses herself in a girly chic or Tomboy way.”


“… I Love fashion. I love to turn heads and keep people anxiously awaiting on what my next outfit will be.”


” I don’t categorize my style or put my style in a certain group.I feel like I’ve [cultivated] my style in a unique way because it’s simply me.”

Cute! You have a tomboy style I totally dig. And you can tell you dress for yourself–not for other people.
