Hey Hey!
So last night I quickly popped by Angela Simmons’sIndique hair launch event:
The entrepreneur collaborated with Indique to create Bikini, a multi textured wave pattern seemingly perfect for a day at the beach (read more about it here).
Pretty!
After sipping a few seltzer waters, I headed out to dinner with friends. Since it was epically hot outside, I wanted to sizzle, so slipped on a neon orange jacket the kind folks over at Members Only sent my way:
I resurrected my YSL Tribute sandals (last worn here) to play off the jacket’s neon hues, then toned it all down with an athletic inspired, zippered Diane von Furstenberg shift.
Leave a comment, and we’ll give away one men’s jacket and one women’s jacket to the Bomber and Bombshell with the best outfit ideas. Check out a few colors here:
” I am a Rising Junior in College and I am Chemistry Major with the hope of becoming a Pharmacist in future.”
” I am a shy, boring, and very serious person but my blog has boosted my confidence and enabled me to explore my creative nature and inspire others with my personal style.”
“…Even though I am shy and a bit timid, I am the girl in class that is always overdressed, people recognize me through my personal style. I believe that just because one is going to school does not mean one should not take their time to dress up.”
” Between my hectic schedule at school and work, fashion to me is a means to be playful and fun. I would say that my style is classic, chic, colorful yet trendy.”
“On a regular day, you will probably see me in a pair of jeans, a bold top and a blazer with some statement shoes. I am so loving blazers, maxis and the colored denim trend right now. I love trying out trends and putting my own classic twist to it. I also love experimenting with colors and I love shoes especially heels; I always build my outfits around my shoes. Thanks for giving me this opportunity and I hope you will feature me on the website.”
Cute! You don’t look boring at all:) Loving your printed maxi skirt and those leopard pants! Work!

Today we’re taking it international with Audrey, a Cameroon native currently kicking it in Holland:
She writes, “I don’t think I have a particular style.”
” But I like to refer to my look as casual chic.”
” It is simple, classy, versatile, and depends on my mood.”
“…I am a young and upcoming designer in Afrochic wear. My label is called UZURI COUTURE.”
” It fuses the Western style and African culture by using our ethnic prints.”
“I love colors and prints and luckily I’m fortunate to rock them out in my own designs and stand out from the crowd.”
“I live by the quote “You are your own businesscard, no one can represent you as well as yourself” !”
“Met vriendelijke groet!”
Prints, colors, peplums, oh my! I love that you embrace bold hues and unique pieces. Is that green jacket one of your designs? Can I order it in a size 12?!?
What do you think of Ms. Audrey?

It’s gonna be hard to top last Friday’s Bomber and Bombshell, but we must push forward! Take a look at Julia, a Durham, North Carolina native currently residing in Washington, DC:
She writes, “I am the Owner of Simone Vivian, LLC an image consulting firm.”
” My style is a mix between the most contemporary, feminine, and edgy fashion.”
“I love bright colors, patterns and prints.”
“I’m already 5’9 but can’t leave the house without heels or platforms.”
“There’s nothing better than vintage shopping and getting the items tailored to fit me perfectly.”
Hey! Love your shoes, especially those Givenchy Bird Cage Ankle Booties! Wish I had snagged those when I had the chance.

Happy Monday!
So I spent this past weekend in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah, learning how to drive a stick shift on Ford Mustang’s super fast Boss 302.
Confession: I am not the best driver. I ran over…all the cones and failed my first driving test when I was 16. Tears ensued. For my second try the nice instructor talked me through how to parallel park. So driving is not my forté…but I always love to learn new things, so decided to go along for the ride.
On day 1, we were simply introduced to the vehicles, and shown its large array of colors, which included schoolbus yellow, fire engine red, candy apple green, and even pink! As a fashion enthusiast, I was obviously juiced by how the car matched so well with my blue Aqua blazer and Zara cropped leopard pants.
Haha, it’s the little things.
On day 2, we were actually able to drive the cars, so were shuttled out to Miller Motorsports Park and Track:
Instructors required us to wear long pants and closed toed shoes, so I pulled out my old J.Crew olive green cargos along with a pair of Ash Bowie Suede Lace Up Sneakers. I normally don’t ‘do’ sneakers outside of the gym, but am slowly starting to dip my toe into a few styles, and figured the Ash Bowie’s would be a good starter pair.
Then, it was time for driving!
The instructors were super sweet, and walked us through the steps (clutch, shift, gas). I think I got the hang of it. I loved the control and speed afforded with stick shifts–it was such a rush!
At the end of our training session, everyone on the trip raced through a series of cones…
And I came in first place!
Hey, guess I’m not such a bad driver after all.
Afterwards we spent a bit of time watching a few other races on the track.
Then made a quick change for dinner. I decided to take my outfit from day to night by just switching my shoes and hitting the town.
And there you have it!
The trip was short, but sweet. And now I’m alll about driving a stick and doing a little racing:)

If today’s Fashion Bomber wasn’t your cup of tea, there’s always today’s Bombshell! Take a gander at Mari from New York:
She writes, “I started my fashion blog www.ADashOfFlair.com to showcase how the outer fashion layers can express the beautiful personalities of the people of NYC.“
” I believe in a balanced combination of beauty from without and beauty from within.”
“My personal style is a combination of City-Chic and Chanel-Classy!”
” I like to mix new trends with vintage for a dignified look.”
“… I usually feature my own style and those of the Beautiful People of New York, usually including an inspirational take home message for all of my city folk!”
” Fashion is in what you buy; beauty is in how you put it together to express your style.”
No, thank you! What a way to end the week, eh? Mari, your outfits, photography, and style outlook are the epitome of simple, chic, and polished. Love that red jumpsuit! And the picture of you on the bridge is super cute. You’re bookmarked!

It’s Friday, so that means today we’ll have a Fashion Bomber and a Fashion Bombshell!
Today’s lucky Bomber is Corrie from Chicago:
Unfortunately, he didn’t have much to say.
He only wrote, “I’m 24-years-old.”
“I live in Chicago, Illinois.”
” My style is versatile…”
And for the rest, he let the pictures speak for themselves:
Yassss! I love all his looks! They’re tailored, turned out, and offer a plethora of colors and cuts. He’s working it!!

Hey Hey!
Today we have a Detroit, Michigan Bombshell: blogger C. Michelle.
She writes, “I really don’t have a “style.” I wear what I like, I wear what inspires me, I wear what makes me comfortable.”
“…I find inspiration in pieces.”
“
” I have items that just sit in my closet for years until I find that perfect piece that goes with it! But I know I will find that piece in due time.”
“I love being me!”
” I once read a quote that stated ‘the hardest thing in life is to try to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you someone else.’ Welp I express myself thru beauty n’ fashion regardless of the opinions of others!”
” I am C.Michelle Chic…*Besos*”
Ok!
Simple and pretty! I’m coveting your pleated black maxi, and your beaded headband. See more of C Michelle’s style at www.cmichellestyles.com.
