While I was off attending shows, Fashion Bomb photographer Marta McAdams was on the scene, capturing chic moments with stylish attendees.

Take a look:

These friends sizzled in a patterned outfit, Céline bag, and YSL belt on the left and a Givenchy accented ensemble on the right. Fashion Week goers certainly cling to labels, but always add their own unique spins, as these two display.

Kitty popped in a hot pink maxi skirt, accented by a floral blouse. Cute!

Charie looked positively gorgeous in a black blazer and top, along with a pair of printed wide leg trousers. Her eye liner and red lip only added to her allure. Hot!

Black on black is always chic, and Karl knew the score! He worked a black top, boots, and pants. His main accessory? His mohawk.

Marshana also bet on all black, made unique by swaths of floating pink fabric.

Ade celebrated her birthday in a fun sequined top, urging everyone in attendance to “Say No to Drugs.”

Jean Claude and Sai of the blog Because I am Fabulous always come ready to be photographed! Sai’s green turban and sunglasses added an unexpected quirkiness to her regal printed gown. I’m loving Jean Claude’s sophisticated facial hair!

Martin and Rosemary also came to be snapped. Their African printed pieces certainly add interest to their looks.

This young lady embraced chic simplicity in a white top and black skirt, uplifted by a Tiger Print Zara blazer.

While some guests are more low key, others opt for opulence. Get into Eva’s Givenchy silver chiffon and sequin peplum jacket and Chanel Fall 2012 shoes. I am literally drooling at her hotness! She is not playing!

Fashion Week ladies love turbans! This diva let a printed headpiece accent an all black look.

 

And blogger and occasional Fashion Bomb contributor Joy Adaeze also chose the funky look, and went for comfort in two toned oxfords.

Kwasy skewed cool in printed pants and a preppy blazer.

And lastly, these three ladies truly went for classic chic, in shifts and reasonable heels.
As you can see, Fashion Week outfits can be relaxed or buttoned up, goth or glam. The only rule at Lincoln Center is to dress according to your mood and personality. You can’t go wrong!

Hey there Bombers and Bombshells!
This morning I hightailed it over to Lincoln Center to attend the BCBG and Richard Chai shows. Fashion Week is such an exciting time, and Day 1 literally felt like the first day of school for me! I decided to bless the occasion with a schoolgirl inspired outfit, including a 3.1 Phillip Lim KA-POW Comic-Print Sweater and a Milly Delphine flared leather skirt:

Yes, I had my own Style Inspiration to Reality moment! After writing our What to Wear to Fashion Week Style Inspiration, I’d been dreaming of the sweater, so decided to splurge for the first day back at fashion school.

I also decided to try a new hairstyle!

Yesss! I was tired of curling and crimping my dreads and felt I had exhausted all my ‘updo’ options, so opted for no muss, no fuss braids. Don’t worry, my dreads are still under there! The magical hair stylists at Noel New York were able to braid over my hair. I’m excited to have fun with this style and not worry about twisting for all of Fashion Month!
At any rate…Ka-Pow, there you have it!

What do you think of my outfit on day 1?

*Just for fun, here’s the original Style Inspiration:

*This isn’t my first time embracing a braided hairstyle. Check out this throwback of me from high school:

We’re kicking off fashion week with a Nigerian Bombshell! Take a gander at Sharon from Lagos:

She writes, “My style is mixed.”

” More like versatile.”


” One day it’s carefree and tomboyish, the next day I am Sarah Jessica Parker in ‘Sex and the city’ or you see me pulling a Jackie O look.”


” Most times I am just Sharon who wants to stand out but most importantly feel comfortable and confident with my appearance.”

“My style on a normal day is just dependent on my mood…”

“… and where I am headed.”


” I try to dress to suit the occasion.”


Work it, Sharon! I can tell you’re a fly girl about town. I’m feeling a lot of your looks, particularly your white tuxedo blazer with contrast lapels. Chic!

“She’s an accountant by day and Jewelry Designer/fashion blogger in her free time.”


“Liz’s style is as colorful as her personality.”


” She’s all about the accessories (she makes them of course)….”

“… and curve-friendly sillhouettes.”

We’re closing out this week of fly Bombshells with colorful Candice from New York:

She types, “My name is Candice…”

“… aka The ChicSavant (chicsavant.com).”


“I’m a resident of NY by way of Cincinnati/Atlanta/St. Louis/Arkansas :)”


“I describe my style as classy eclectic.”


“The premise of my blog and my everyday look is to combine high and low end fashions…”

“… to form a look that is my own.”


” I appreciate a look that takes pieces from many different designers…”

“… to form a cohesive outfit.”

Well, aren’t you lovely and vibrant? I appreciate your pops of colors and loved that mixed print ‘fit.
Work!

It’s Friday, and I figured: why not have a little fun with a Bomber and a Bombshell? Today’s lucky chap is Tony from Paris:

Il dit, “Bonjour from Paris.”

“I think all picture will give you a nice view with a “N*ggas from Paris” like Kanye & Jay-z song.”

“I’m a business man. When I have an important appointment this is my dress code to close the contract.”


“N*ggas from Paris #datshitcray suit from Massimo Dutti shoes from Loding.”


“YSL t-shirt to walk in Paris.”


“My summer routine style”


” My inspiration style change with the weather.”


“Best Regards.”

Merci, Monsieur! Glad to see you like Jay and Kanye as much as I do:) You look sharp in all your outfits, from casual polos to buttoned up suits. Magnifique!

“I also love wearing real comfortable clothes…”


“I am not really an accessory person but I try my best to use some of it…”


“I love clothes that help flatter my figure..”

“…I get dressed up everyday to define how I really feel..”


“It would really mean a lot to me to be Fashion Bombshell of the day…”

Hey!
A few days ago, media maven Bevy Smith invited me to a cocktail hour at James Hotel to fête Keyshia Cole‘s newest album and splash back on the scene.

After getting a pre fashion week facial and eyebrow grooming at Walker’s Apothecary, I made a quick change and headed to the rooftop to see what was what. I couldn’t bring my own photographer, though I was able to snap pix of a few attendees with my trusty Iphone:

Later on I was able to dish with Keyshia about her outfit.

Styled by Joe Exclusive, she sported a Stella & Jamie Spring/Summer 2013 jacket, short shorts, and Versace boots.

Hot! or Hmm…?

As for me, I figured it would be a saucy night, so I struck my best Johnny Bravo pose in a resurrected Diane von Furstenberg halter top (last seen here), Topshop skirt, Christian Louboutin leopard print peep toes (last seen here), and a YSL clutch (last seen here).

It was a fun night, and only a precursor to all the Fashion Week fun.
What do you think?

 
If you haven’t heard Keyshia’s latest single, Enough of No Love, listen to it here:

Check out a few official pictures from the night, snapped by Ricky Day:

Today we’re bringing you a bit of Chitown flavor with Bombshell, Aspyn:

She says, “I’m 21 and a journalism student living in Chicago, Illinois.”

” My style is a mix-up of everything.”


” From girly to rocker to bohemian, and everything in between.”


” I don’t like sticking to one style. Versatility is extremely important to me.”

” I think people should just wear what they want regardless of how people will perceive them.”


” Stop giving a damn what people think!”


” I post most of my looks, thoughts on fashion, music, and life on my blog, www.butimnotajournalist.blogspot.com.”

Ha, love that blog name! You embrace the casual chic vibe, I see. I love your printed shawl.
What do you think of Aspyn’s looks?
