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?
Stay tuned for our next contestant tomorrow! And if you or someone you know are in need of a glam intervention, be sure to send your submissions to bombshellmakeover@gmail.com.

Smootches!

Today’s Bombshell is Nifesimi from Baltimore, Maryland:

The blogger for www.skinnyhipster.com says, “I like to describe my style as one that is ‘ever evolving…”

“…It can be very edgy, daring and unpredictable…”

“… yet quite versatile.”

“I love mixing prints, trying new things and being able to define myself/life through my style…”

” I don’t necessarily follow the status quo.”

“I choose many of my looks with spontaneity;”


” My mood and the weather play a major role in what I wear.”

“All my photos are by fashion/wedding photographer, Femi of www.paosin.com.”

Nifesimi, I love all your looks! Such glorious colors! Lengths! Fabrics! I’m a fan, and am gonna need that Zara floral blazer and hi-lo skirt.

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!

Pick up Essence Magazine’s April 2012 issue to see my very first Covergirl ad:

Squeal!!!!!
I snuck a peek at the ad in the airport as I was coming home from France, and couldn’t help but yelp (I’m sure everyone around thought I was a nut). I mean, who doesn’t want to be a Covergirl?

While Covergirl Blast FlipStick transformed my look from bookworm to Bombshell, Karen of WhereDidUGetThat.com went from sophisticated to superstar. I love how everything turned out:

Catch behind-the-scenes videos at www.essence.com/alterego starting this Thursday March 15th.
Reminisce on the experience with me with some personal shots in this archived post.

I still can’t believe this is real…! Thanks for always reading and for your support!
Smootches!

Happy Friday!
Tis the seasons for repeat Bombshells, like the lovely Chimee from Baton Rouge, Louisiana:

She writes, “ Before you guys ripped me a new one because some of my pics were taken with my IPhone (which is why the quality wasn’t so great)!”

“… My first go round I was new to Fashion Bomb and now I am a faithful reader.”


” So after 4 years of marriage I am currently going through a divorce.”


” With that being said my style at this phase of my life is called “party rock” !”


“I am a curvy girl but I am not afraid of prints, patterns and color.”


” It would be an honor to be featured again.”


Rock on, Chimee! My favorite look might have to be your white jumpsuit. Simple, yet sassy!
If you don’t remember Chimee’s first go around, reminisce here.
What do you think of her style evolution?
