Happy Thursday!
So last night, Gabriel and Rae of StuffFlypeoplelike.com, Gabi Fresh, and I got together to watch our spots on BET’s Rip the Runway:


Friends and family filled Highland Park to munch on chicken wings, sip on spirits, and wait to catch our moments on TV.

Since it was a sports bar, I decided to go for a sporty/spring vibe. I pulled out my Rag & Bone neon yellow jeans and my fave Diesel jean jacket (I always rock it with two YSL buttons I bought at the YSL exhibit in Paris–which I loved):

I kept the sporty vibe going with a pair of Alexander Wang Chloe sandals in blue (you may remember Rihanna wore them in red):

(I took a shoe picture with Marc Clark, who was rocking a pair of Jeremy Scott x Adidas sneakers). Inspired by this post, I painted my nails in a few coats of Essie’s Mint Candy Apple:

And finished everything off with an Alexis Bittar bracelet and CC Skye Crystal Angel Wing Necklace.

Then it was time to watch the show!

I was too busy screaming and hiding my face to actually watch myself–but from what I hear, I did ok! It was definitely fun to do–and I’d love to try my hand at TV again. After watching the show, we enjoyed the night, toasting to TV and trying new things:

It was a fun night!

Today’s Bombshell is Georgia Peach, Mattie:

The blogger from Mattieologie.com says, “I’m a self described ‘Carrie with Charlotte tendencies’ from Atlanta.”

” I’m all about living what I love through my personal style. I’m also a firm believer in oversized sunnies, red lipstick & 5 inch heels!”


“…While I’m not the type of girl to completely stray away from trends, I do believe there’s a difference between being trendy and being on trend.”

” I love looking girly without being cheesy and sexy without looking sleazy.”


I’m a former Miss Liberia USA who loves incorporating African into her wardrobe from time to time.”

“… After all, it’s not about the clothes you have to hold your breath in, but instead about the clothes that take your breath away.”

Carrie with Charlotte tendencies? I love that! And your description of your style is spot on. You’re cute as a button and I love how you incorporate African influences.

Dania Ramirez was spotted at the afterparty for her new film “American Reunion”. For her big night, she wore a cobalt strapless cut-out dress with a thigh-high slit from Edition by Georges Chakra:

She accessorized with long fringe earrings and kept her hair and makeup minimal, to really let her dress play centerstage.

The bold dress was part of Georges Chakra’s Fall 2011 collection:

Va-va voom! Dania is working this dress! Ok, there is a chance of a little spillage, but other than that she looks amazing.

What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?

Hey Hey!
Today’s brave Bombshell is Nic from Baltimore, Maryland:

She says, ” As an avid thrifter, I LOVE thrifting and finding unique and different items. I am addicted to accessories, blazers, and clutches.”

” I would say my style is clean and a classic, with a twist. Most of my statement or WOW factors come from my accessories or one unique article of clothing like a blazer or a pair of shoes.”

“ I am learning and beginning to embrace color, without being cliche. My day-to-day life doesn’t always allow me to wear high heels or pumps but when I can dress up and throw on a pair, I LOVE it! It makes me feel even more fabulous!”

“Being a blogger has really helped me try new things and find out more about my style. I am happy with my fashion choices, and happy to say that I don’t look like everyone else.”

“As I always say, “dare to be different.” I like to stand out, but not in an obnoxious way. There’s nothing wrong with loud and bold…I just like to do it in moderation. I’m a simple chick who loves thrifting and finding good deals!”

“My blog, Nic’s Picks (www.nics-picks.com) is a way of expressing my fashion sense, as well as letting my readers get a peek into my everyday life.”

I salute your gift of thrift (I’m horrible at it!). You look very well put together, simple and classy. You can’t beat that with a bat!

DMV represents hard on the Fashion Bomb, no? Maybe we need to have a little meet & greet in the DC area, no?
At any rate, check out today’s Bombshell, Tamona from Washington, D.C.:

She types, “I am TOD-The Omega Dime. I currently reside in the DMV (Chocolate Factory). My fashion style is always OVER-the-TOP (So I’ve been told)”

“…I HEART COLORS. They are FUN & BRIGHT (Much like that of my life). I live a colorful life.”


” I believe what you wear says a lot about how you feel. My heart is full of glee, therefore my clothes stay bright and/or eccentric.”

“ My quote is “Can You See Through My Colors & Read My Heart!” I’m NOT a label girl, I just have the EYE! Labels are cool, but the fit is where it’s AT! “

“I consider myself a 3T: Trendy Trending Trendsetter. Don’tchu agree?”


“… More of my styles can be seen on my site www.theurbanmannequin.com and where I purchase everything I wear.”

” I also blog www.theurbanmannequin.com/apps/blog on all the coolest, hottest trends daily. DARE to TREND…I Double Dog Dare You!”

You certainly aren’t afraid of color! It takes a lot of courage to wear rainbow hued leggings–I salute your bold choices.
Are you feelings Tamona/TOD’s looks?

Ready for the 2nd contestant for our Bombshell makeover with Noel New York?

The Southern California transplant says, “I’m a Substation Operator for a utility company. I just graduated from my operator class of 40 weeks of training and as you can see I’m around men all day and night.”


“Since I work rotating shifts, which is about 60 hours a week and work outside I have started to let myself go, because I always wear a uniform, and always at work so I never give time to really dress myself anymore.”

“I have a short haircut, but can barely manage it 24 hours after its done, and I’m always wearing hats.”

“I love fashion, trends and what to wear articles you publish, and I love seeing the urban/culture of the fashion industry on your blog is what draws me to to your website. I’m always fantasizing on how I could look, but I spend so much time at work, and tired I just close my computer and go back to reality.”

“I think this makeover would help me out on how to manage my look while not at work, make me feel confident and get my girly self back despite me being around testosterone all day!! Please give me the chance of getting this makeover!!”

I see lots of fabulous potential here, folks! What do you think of Brittney’s submission?

Today’s Bombshell is all the way from down under! Take a look at Tinashe from Brisbane, Australia:

Tinashe aka Lady T writes, “I would describe my style as a ‘walking contradiction.'”

“…Because I feel everyday gives me an opportunity to display my eclectic fashion persona.”


“I would love to be featured on your blog as I am long time reader and admirer.”


“…In fact almost a year ago, this blog is one of the reasons I started my very own blog: www.tview.tumblr.com.”

“… I created the blog because I am often asked by people what I am wearing and where I got it. Not to mention I wanted to keep a fashion diary…”

I’d say your looks are pretty classic with a dash of fun (loving that midi close fit patterned dress!). I only would have liked to see a greater variety in your shoe choices, but overall you represent for the Aussies!
