” I have so many ideas and looks bubbling in my brain lab that I decided to let it explode on blogger.”
“ I am excited to do what I love.”
” My name is Chiffon Sparkle… I believe this is my destiny.”
“If I can describe myself in two words they would be : Rubiks Cube. LOL 🙂“
Hey there! Love your makeup (is that MAC Lady Danger lipstick?) and you have some great accessories. Some of your looks would be better if edited, but overall you work it!

Hey!
So I’m attempting to fly to Paris today, to catch the tail end of Paris Fashion Week. While at BET’s Rip the Runway taping yesterday, I realized I hadn’t yet featured stylista and fellow blogger Gabi Fresh from Detroit as Bombshell of the Day:
Though she’s already a very famous blogger, I figure I’d showcase a bit of her looks, for those who may not know of her. Besides, she’s the bomb!
When I asked her to describe her style, she said, “I always hate when people ask me that, because I never know how to answer!”
“If I had to describe my style, I would call it street chic.”
“To showcase that plus size girls can wear the same trends as anyone else.”
Werq it, Gabi! I’ll consider myself thoroughly inspired. And I love how you paired the electric blue pants with that mustard leather. Fierce!
What do you think of Ms. Gabi Fresh?

Hey!
So a few weeks ago I got a call, asking me to participate in BET’s annual Rip the Runway fashion show. Normally I’d be in Paris for Fashion Week, but decided to delay my travels a bit to seize the fantastic opportunity:
This year the network asked bloggers to take part, so tapped myself along with Gabi of GabiFresh.com and Rae and Gabe of StuffFlyPeopleLike.com to help hosts Selita Ebanks and Pooch Hall introduce the show’s different segments:
Me, Designer LaQuan Smith, Gabi Fresh, Gabriel, and Rae backstage
Chock full of fantastic urban designs, Rip the Runway is part fashion showcase, part concert, part party–and all fun. This year, brands like Brian Lichtenberg, Sammy B Designs, La Vie, and Monif C took center stage, alongside acts like Robin Thicke, Estelle, Wale, Diggy Simmons, and Lil Kim.
It was a long and full day of taping, but it was an amazing experience. I’m so grateful to BET for having me, and can’t wait to see how I did;)
For the occasion, I decided to go bright and bold, ditching my natural hair color in favor of spring ready blond (if you’ve been reading for a while, you could say I went back to my roots):
What do you think?
At any rate, it was an exciting night.
If you want to catch it, Rip the Runway will air Wednesday, March 21st at 10pm. Set your DVR’s!

We’re taking it back to the DMV today with Bombshell Dominique from DC:
She writes, “I started blogging (www.stilettoesq.com) about a month ago at the urge of some friends.”
“I’d describe my style as classic…”
“… with a twist of fun…”
“…I like to look effortlessly chic.”
” I hope to see my pics featured one day on fashionbombdaily!”
Well today’s your lucky day! I’d say you have more hits than misses. I’m not a huge fan of the cutoffs with tights, but I’m dying for your red pants and patterned pumps! That outfit is #boss.

“…where she gives tips on fashion, beauty, and anything else that’s on her mind.”
“Pleeeease feature her! :-)”
OK! Classic with a twist is spot on. Love that blue dress.

So last week I was asked by Lincoln to join them as their special guest at Essence Magazine’s 5th Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon . Though I had planned to be in Milan for Fashion Week, I’d heard the event was motivational and inspirational–basically something I wouldn’t want to miss! So at the end of London Fashion Week, I hopped on an 11 hour flight and popped into LA to see what was what:
To say the event was star studded would be an understatement. From Kelly Rowland to Jill Scott to Tasha Smith, the room was bubbling over with black stars.
I made my way around the room to say hey to a few:
In the Lincoln Lounge, I caught up with Jurnee Smollett, who looked sophisticated in pearly purple chiffon.
I also said hey to Love That Girl star and classmate Tatyana Ali. She was covering her dress a bit, but it was bananas. The cutouts were amazing!
Then inside the venue..
I caught up with cutie Tika Sumpter, who epitomized chic in black lace.
I complimented Jill Scott on her fly new hair style. The asymmetrical cut looks gorge, no?
And of course I had to say congratulations to two of the day’s honorees, including Paula Patton, the recipient of the Shining Star Award:
And Kerry Washington who won the Vanguard Award:
During her acceptance speech, Kerry Washington said, “There really is room for all of us. There really is a need for all of us.” The sense of appreciation and sisterhood in the room was palpable. I left feeling encouraged to continue to strive for the best in my industry and in life!
With all the fashion week madness I didn’t have much time to shop for my outfit, so decided to snag a piece from the Mary Katrantzou x Topshop collection during a lull in London:
I think your description is spot on. I love your red coat and those flat lace ups are to die!

Hey Hey!
Check out today’s Bombshell, the lovely Kelly from New York:
She says, “I would describe my style as girly..”
“…chic,”
“… fun…”
“…easygoing…”
“… and simple.”
” I love to just choose a specific item of clothing…”
” and build my outfit around it.”
“Everything usually just comes together effortlessly.”
Hey Kelly! You’re definitely a Bombshell! I love how you play with colors and have fun with accessories. Work those turbans!
