So I’m in London!

Thus far, I’ve attended a great number of shows, including Issa, Marios Schwab, Rag & Bone, and Moschino Cheap & Chic. I’m off today to Burberry (wee!).
My schedule is actually pretty light, so I’ve been able to take in a few London monuments, like Buckingham Palace.

It’s been quite chilly in Londontown, so I decided to pair a Faith Connexion Annabelle Dexter-Jones crepe jumpsuit with a few UK accessories: a pair of Charlotte Olympia Leopard and Zebra Foal Jenny Court Shoes and my Stella McCartney bag.

And no, your eyes don’t deceive you! I tried a new hairstyle. My scalp has finally gotten a bit used to the braids, so I attempted a braid bun, thanks to this Youtube tutorial.

How did I do?
A dash of MAC Morange and a pair of Tom Ford cat eye Nikita sunglasses, and I was good to go!

*Later on, I grabbed drinks with friends, and switched out my huge tote for a smaller printed clutch from Urban Outfitters.

Which bag works better?

Today’s Bombshell is Courtney from North Carolina:

She says, “I’m an avid thrift shopper…”

“… and seamstress…”

“… so anything I find I can alter to fit my style.”


” I’m a big fan of florals…”


“… prints”


“… and “grandma inspired” style.”


” I love documenting my finds on my blog…”

“… [it’s called] Houston & Parsimony www.houstonandparsimony.blogspot.com. “

Ok! I like and appreciate your vintage pieces, and your ability to make them work with your wardrobe.
What say you?

It’s been a little while since we’ve had both a Bomber and Bombshell, so I decided to feature two readers today.
Check out Asiff from Orlando, Florida:

He types, “To me having a sense of style is a way of life.”

” Personally, I don’t put a cap on my style.”


“…what really plays a major part is the way the clothes works with my body.”


” I’m a slim guy so rather than picking up something because its a hot commodity…”

“… it first has to fit the way I want it to, which is slim and fitted.”

” I’m very picky so the fit is the key to my style.”


” I also like playing with different patterns and drawing inspirations from New York urban trends and making it my own with more tailored fits such as those from European countries.”

” My dream is to become a stylist some day but for now I’m styling myself.”


“ See more about my looks from my blog Man VS Threads (www.manvsthreads.blogspot.com)”

You are correct! Fit is super important.
What do you think of the way Asiff’s clothes fit?

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?

We’re continuing with our ever animated Bombshell feature with Mia ‘the Boss’ from Charlotte, North Carolina:

She writes, “I have been dying to be Fashion Bombshell of the Day for such a long time now.”

” I hope my feature sheds a positive light on plus size women and bloggers.

“As a plus size woman we have to go above and beyond to ensure our looks and outfit choices are on trend, polished, and figure flattering.”

” I’m all about being a fatshionista …. yes FATshionista on a budget.”


” My favorite places to shop are Forever 21+, ASOS, Torrid, and Old Navy.”


“ I’m inspired by celebrity street fashion and runway looks. I incorporate all the things I see and love and make it work for myself.”

” I’m not afraid to try new things and I know what works for my body.”‘


” As a plus size blogger, I want every big girl to know she’s beautiful.”


” I hope my blog and story inspires other girls and women to gain confidence and flaunt their curves.”

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.
