Today we have a New York Bombshell! Check out Manhattan resident Amy:

The FIT student writes, “My style is a mix of everything depending on how I wake up in the mornings.”

“… Some days it is business casual, sometimes preppy, but most of the time bohemian-chic because I do love to be comfortable.”

“.. Some of this may have be attributed to the fact that I moved to New York City from Los Angeles so I am kind of a mixture/hybrid of styles.”

” I love the chill vibe from Cali but then I also love the hustle and bustle of professional New York. I blog at www.vivierebella.com where you can get to know my sense of style and vibe but I really just love everything flowy with gold accents and accessories.”

” I prefer shorts over skirts for comfortability and I really appreciate good fabrics.”


“… I love to express myself through the clothes I wear and although I love designer brands that is not necessarily the best way to dress because money cannot buy one style…unless it’s a stylist.:)”

” I aspire to inspire.”

Pretty! Please spill the tea on that pink and purple splashed mini dress! So cute.

Today we’re taking a London trip with Machiavela from London:

The fashion design student writes, “I’m somewhat of a lazy dresser.”

“… I throw things together and go with whatever works or whatever I look nice in.”

“…for me comfort comes 1st. It ain’t about brands or nothing but what makes you look good.”

“I play with my hair a lot and I do my hair myself most times.”

“Since I can make the outfit am not too all about it …..love rings….love to play with my hair.”

“My fashion icon is Solange Knowles because that chick is always looking comfortable in everything she wears.”

Chic! I love your hair, and that orange romper. Wish I could see a full body shot.

Happy Monday!
This past weekend, I attended the very 1st Style Bloggers of Color Conference down in Atlanta, Georgia:

I was honored to be the Conference’s keynote speaker, and tell all the fellow bloggers in the room a little about my story, and lessons I’ve learned since launching the Fashion Bomb in August 2006.


I was super nervous, but I think it went well! And the icing on the cake was that I won the Social Media and Style Blogger of the Year Awards!

It was such a pleasure to see and share my story with former Bombshells and current friends including my girl Marie Denee aka the Curvy Fashionista:

Jean Claude and Sai of the blog Because I am Fabulous.


Mattie of the blog Mattieologie.com, who organized everything down to the most minute detail.

And many, many more!





As for my outfit, I decided to play a bit with colorblocking in a pink and blue snake print dress by Sandro, accented by lace up blue Jimmy Choo Gladys sandals:

I continued with colors with an American Apparel oversized clutch in yellow, purple YSL lipstick, and gold cuffs by Aqua:

It was a great day, and I’m so honored! Style Blogger of the Year? Yay!

What do you think?
Many many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Fashion Bomb’s success in the past and present, including Jihan, Faith, Ashley, and Zillz! Thanks to Mattie and to all my fellow style bloggers for your support. You’re the bomb.
Smootches!

As promised, check out today’s Bombshell: Fernaira from LA.

She says, “ I am currently a Fashion Design student at Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.”

“… I have a personal style blog 90snostalgic.tumblr.com to document my inspirations and new finds.”


” My personal style depends on taking classic sensibilities with an edge and building around them with eclectic pieces and accessories.”

” I also use lipsticks to help illustrate my bold personality.”


“At heart, a lot of my ideologies come from referencing 90s fashion.”


” I don’t strategically plan anything to wear, when I wake up my outfit is usually inspired by yesterdays reflections, and todays progressions.”

#Ow! Love your description. I would have liked to see just a bit of color, but get your inspirations and hey–black is always chic!

Happy Friday, folks!
So today we’re featuring a Fashion Bomber…but we’re also featuring a Bombshell! I think I’m the only person who likes to see a showcase of our male reader’s style, but realize many of you come here to be inspired by other women. So feast your eyes on Dave from Atlanta, and stay tuned for our Bombshell!

He writes, “I would consider my style to be Urban Preppy.”

” I am a fashion grad student, sculptor and co-editor for the fashion blog Off-glass.com.”


“…So ultimately I study the culture of fashion and apply it to my world.”


” You can definitely see the “Artist” in my look.”


” I’m also really into personal style and like to make subtle statements.”

” I figure if I like my look, everyone else will love it.”

I like! I’ll have to check out your blog.

Today we have a Texan Bombshell! Feast your eyes on Neki from Dallas:

She writes, “I am the editor and creator of They’re Just Clothes.”

“It’s a fashion media blog featuring fashion finds, beauty & style tips and event coverage for the modern fashion risk taker.”

“My personal style is classic and conservative…”


“… with a whimsical touch.”


” I have a “no fear” attitude…”

“… and a bold approach to style and fashion.”


” I love everything fashionable…”

“… and I am not afraid to express myself through what I wear.”


” My motto is “Style is character.” “


” My blog site address is www.theyrejustclothes.com.“

” Thank you for your consideration.”

Pretty! I love when you wear those saturated, monochromatic looks, like your pink suit and cobalt blue dress. Not a fan of the white cowboy boots, but maybe that’s a Texas thing?

Happy Thursday!
So last night I was invited to a listening party for Ciara’s new album, “One Woman Army.”


Ever the gracious host, Ciara danced to her tracks, all the while greeting guests and snapping pix with attendees and friends like Lala Anthony, L.A. Reid, Jermaine Dupri, and more.


When I told her about the Fashion Bomb, she said, “Oh yeah, I know that site!” She divulged that she was wearing a Lanvin serpent print dress, which she accented with thigh high boots and fingers full of sparkly rings.

Werq!
I dipped out at a respectable hour because I’m an old lady.

For the occasion, I slipped on an American Apparel crop top, along with a Tiger Print blazer from Zara, and my absolute favorite Helmut Lang Asymmetrical Skirt.

I accented with a pair of Christian Louboutin Pik Pik studded slingbacks and a Michael Kors clutch.
As for Ciara’s album, I loved her song ‘Sweat’ featuring 2 Chainz (2 Chainz!!). Listen to it here:

So I guess we’re staying in New York this week? Today’s Bombshell is blogger Lisa from NYC:

She writes, “I am style blogger on www.stylenina.com. I would describe my personal style as ‘a cultivation of my multiple personalities within’. I can wake up one day and feel whimsical and romantic wearing lace shorts and ankle strap heels. “

“Or romantic in a white dress with color blocked heels.”

“Sophisticated and chic in floral print pants and ankle strap heels.”

“Casual and cute in a cropped top and Chuck Taylors…”

“A little bohemian in my Zara TRF tie dye dress and Jeffrey Campbell’s.”

“Casual, sexy, and free on a calm day…”

“Easy, breezy, beautiful at the beach.”

“Summer ready downtown”

“Or Day Dreaming in the City.”

Well, alright! Fantastic photography, and a great range of outfits. You know you’re a Bombshell, Lisa! You better werq.

Today’s we’re featuring a queen from Queens, New York: Crystal, a blogger for ItsCG.blogspot.com.

She writes, “I’m a college student majoring in accounting, an aspiring stylist, and a personality. I know it’s a weird combination, but it’s me.”

“I consider my style to correspond with my attitude and 90% of the time it’s on diva mode.”


” I love to show up and show out.”


“ I am an avid mixer of highs and lows and I live for high-heels although living in NYC, it’s not always practical.”

” My accessories are usually minimal because I just recently started playing [with] them.”

“I started a blog a few months back, itsCG.blogspot.com, to showcase my style and also because I feel like sometimes women with “well-rounded” shapes are only seen in a sex-related manner.”


” I’m here to show we can be classy and chic as well as sexy.”


Cute! I love to show up and show out, too:)
What do you think of Crystal’s steeze?

There was so much excitement with yesterday’s Bombshell, I decided to switch it up with today’s Fashion Bomber: Kalif from Houston, Texas.

He says, ” I aspire to be a Fashion Stylist/Wardrobe Consultant.”

“… I believe that my sense of style is one of a kind.”

” I have a very different creative way of dressing, I call it “dysfunctional” or confusing.”


” When people ask me “What do you have on?” I get more inspired!”

” My response to that question is: “If it were easy, everyone can do it.””

” I am a very creative thinker, so I incorporate that into my wardrobe as well.”


“I attend the University of Texas at San Antonio where I launched my fashion campaign, “Keep Swag Alive” (KSA™).”


“.. By doing this I want to motivate people that image is important, and must be upheld. Not only in “Swag” but in everything we do in life.”

” I just have a dream of taking my creativity to the top.”


“To check out some of my work you can check out my Tumblr: Leafb.tumblr.com.”

Love your swag, particularly your sox and suspenders game!
