We’re ending the week with a bang! Check out Kim from the Bronx:

She writes, “I am a island native blogger and fashionista living in New York-The Bronx to be exact.“

” I own www.threadsxthings.blogspot.com where I showcase my personal style and all the things I love in the art we call fashion.”

” I would describe my personal style as cool, fun, and flirty.”


“I love wearing comfortable pieces, including boyfriend denim and oversized blazers.”


“I love colors and prints and anything that pops!”


” I try to highlight different ways a woman can be sexy in something not revealing.”



” My style embodies comfort with class and edginess. A style that says I dont want to be cool, I want to be fashionable.”

“Fashion is anything we want it to be but most importantly, it should be about who your are as an individual. Nowadays there are many fashionistas but theres only one Kim Kae H.”


I know that’s right! Cute looks, Kim, and you are a beauty.

Hey Hey! We’re taking a slight break from the international scene with Bombshell Javicia from DC:

She writes, “I was so nervous to send my looks to your site.”

” However, I knew that if I could quit my job in DC and move to LA for acting, then I could foster enough guts to show my style to the world.”

” My blog, JaviciaLeslie.blogspot.com, is my fashion photography & video diary that tells the adventures of this exhilarating road I’m traveling.”

” Although acting is my life, fashion is my artistic outlet.”


” I think its important we make more African American bloggers visible!”


” Thankfully, sites like yours create those opportunities.”


Nervous? Why? Your looks are amazing. Great outfits, great photography, you get snaps in a Z formation! Love those pink jeans and the orange top. And that graffiti shot?!? Hot!

I believe the children are the future, so was super excited when Leia Mandeville of FIT’s Black Retail Action Group invited me to speak to undergrads about my fashionable experiences:

It was great fun to take a look back at my career, and also offer nuggets of knowledge to the next generation of industry insiders.



I’ve been alllll about spring, even though the weather here in New York demands otherwise. At any rate, I slipped on a full Topshop look, including a knit metallic flecked peach sweater and a matching Premium Silk Shimmer pleated dip hem skirt:


I’m really feeling the pastel trend!
I completed the look with my new Stuart Weitzman Capsize Mary Jane Pumps in Blush Pink, and picked up on the shoe’s silver accents with vintage white sunglasses and silver leather hoops by Seville Michelle Anastos (who we wrote about here).

I threw my ipad, iphone, and other particulars in my summer Stella McCartney Falabella Tote (it’s a little busted by now).

And voilà!
Afterwards, I popped by La Bottega to nosh, blog a bit, and comb through lots of wonderful comments:

And there you have it.

She writes, “I have been reading your segment for quite sometime.“

” I thought finally I will send my submission across.”


“I’m a blogger, shopaholic, fashion addict, and a creative bee.”


“I feel fashion is an art and I like to reuse all the clothes in my closet to the fullest to create new looks.”


” My clothes are a reflection of my personality – quirky, elegant , simple and yet fashionable.”


“You can see more on my blog, www.meghafashionista.blogspot.in. ”

We’re closing out this week with yet another Fashion Bomber, J William from LA:

 

He writes, “I’m a visual designer/ photographer based out of Los Angeles. “

“Having been born and raised in the mid-west and later relocating to a major metropolitan hot-spot, my style draws working class essentials and contemporary minimalism. “

“My clean straightforward design aesthetic favors the subtly of textures over the flare of print and I’m big on having a complementing color pallet.“

“I believe a person’s appearance is the first hello when meeting someone so I tend to choose “comforting embraces” when selecting clothes.”

“I’m currently a finalist in BMW’s “0 to Desir3 Campaign, you can view and vote for my video at bit.ly/GTBTfO.”

“You can learn more about me and my work at jwilliamwashington.com.”

Clean shaven and well spoken? Boom, you’re the bomb! See more of J William at www.jwilliamwashington.com and vote for him in BMW’s campaign here.

TGIF!!
Last night I had the sincere pleasure of hosting a Spring Trends Shopping Party at Brooklyn boutique, Michelle New York.

Guests sipped cocktails provided by Brooklyn Republic Vodka while perusing the shop’s spring ready pieces:








Michelle had tons on tap to usher in warm weather, including on trend neon bangles, flourishes of color, and classic accents like gold cuffs and bracelets:









During the event, I scurried around offering suggestions on how readers (and Jihan) could put a bit of spring into their wardrobes.

For example, with Emilia, I added a bit of sizzle to her blue dress with a neon belt cinched around the waist:


Voila!

It was super fun, as always, to meet readers, and do what I love to do (shop) at one of my favorite boutiques!

As for my outfit, I was dipped in all Michelle New York design, including a one shoulder tangerine dress and sparkling jewels:



I decided to color block a bit with a pair of patent YSL Tribute Patent Sandals in the season’s hottest color: mint.

What do you think?

Special thanks to Charlene and Michelle of Michelle New York, Brooklyn Republic Vodka for providing drinks, as well as Miss Jessie’s and Essence for supplying goodies for our goody bags!

If you couldn’t make it, we missed you! But be sure to pop by Michelle New York (376 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11217) if you ever find yourself in Brooklyn. In addition to having oodles of chic pieces, the accessories are bananas! And if you see something you like and live out of state, give them a call at (718) 643-1680 to inquire about prices and shipping.
Stay tuned for more fun Fashion Bomb events.
Smootches!

We’re keeping it Cali-fab with today’s Bombshell, Ellie from San Diego:

She writes, “My style is effortless, fun, young and chic.”

“ I feel that the best outfits are the ones you just throw on and go.“

“… Anyone can buy fashion, but you can’t buy style.”


” That’s what makes a person’s style so unique, it’s about personality.”


” My style is the one thing in my life I have full control over; I can’t control my past or my future but I can control my wardrobe.”


” Check out my blog: www.fashionwithellie.blogspot.com.”


Cute shoe and purse game, lady! I love your style, and how you paired a snazzy dress with sneaks. Thumbs up!
