Today’s Bombshell is Jessica from LA:

She says, “My style is versatile…”

“… and simple.”


” Vibrant colors….”

“… and asymmetrical shapes”


“usually catch my eye.”


” If I could shop anywhere in the world, it would be Julia Sarr Jamois’s closet.”


” Her style is simply amazing!”

Your style is pretty amazing, too! I think you gave an accurate description of your look: simple, colorful, and full of fun asymmetrical details. Very cute–and am I alone in seeing the Solange resemblance?
What do you think?

Closing out this fashionable week is Leonette from DC

She says, “If I had to describe my style, I would describe it as diverse.”

“… I don’t subscribe to any one fashion mantra and very frequently bounce from one category to another depending on my mood or what I got going on. I easily go from conservative/sophisticated, classic, simple, casual chic to funky, sexy, high end, vibrant and trendy.”

“… I love the idea of balancing conservative roles without compromising my love of fashion and style!”

” One of my goals with my blog is to inspire young women who have many responsibilities and have somehow lost themselves and fashion sense in their individual roles.”

” I don’t believe it’s a contradiction to be an excellent parent, ambitious professional and fashionista all at the same time!”

“…I started a personal style and lifestyle blog, Milk and Honeeyz (www.milkandhoneeyz.blogspot.com), as an outlet for me to share my personal style and experiences as a young mother, attorney, single woman and fashion lover.”

You have a very diverse style! My favorite might have to be your striped skirt and colorful top combo. Tres chic!
What do you ladies think?

So the other day I was blessed to attend the Oscar de la Renta show at 42nd street (review to come!). I continued with my classic predilections by pulling on a black turtleneck bodysuit by Wolford along with a black ruffle hem short wool jacket by Plutocracy:

I added a bit of interest with an Akin skirt by Busayo, along with black tights, and House of Harlow Neena Suede Platform Booties in Black:

Oscar de la Renta is very glamorous, so I incorporated a bit of glamour with a vintage crystal necklace and Alexis Bittar earrings. And of course I slipped on a beret for warmth (I love berets. This one didn’t quite match, but I didn’t care).

I stacked everything in my Givenchy, and was on my way.

Eh ben, voila! My last Style Diary of Fashion Week (phew!). What do you think?

Happy Almost End of Fashion Week!
The other day I had a four hour gap in between shows, so headed downtown to my favorite restaurant, Café Felix, to get some blogging done:

At Felix, I can always find a quiet sun drenched corner to tap away, nibble, sip, and reflect on the day:

For my several hour layover, I ordered escargot (yum!) and a glass of prosecco.
As for my outfit, I went for simplicity in a white t-shirt from J.Crew, my Helmut Lang blazer, and a gold pendant necklace by Jenny Bird from Michelle New York:

I added some glam with a pleated gold skirt by Elie Tahari along with a pair of vintage Lanvin chain strap pumps:

I also pulled on a Rag & Bone floppy brim Fedora and a spot of Lady Danger Lipstick:

Then it was off to my next show. I stuffed my invites into a Cashhimi bag (the same one I wore on day 2), and slipped on my trusty Andrew Marc coat:

And there you have it. What do you think?

*Cafe Felix is located at 340 West Broadway.

We’re going to the DMV today with Fashion Bombshell Ashleigh from Maryland:

She says, “My style is eclectic…”


“… and a little on the adventurous side.”

” I like to try out new things,”

“.. and pair together unlikely items.”

” If a fashion choice makes me a little nervous…”

” then I go for it!”

Hey Ashleigh! You’re absolutely lovely. You have great style and a cute command of color. No misses here, you hit it out of the park!
What do you think?

*If you like her look, she has a blog at www.thedaileigh.blogspot.com.

So on day 4 of Fashion Week, my feet raised the white flag. They were cramped, uncomfortable, and sore, so I pulled on my Loeffler Randall Riley over-the-knee back zip flat boots to navigate around town:

It was colder than a polar bear’s toenails, so I had a pull out another vintage fur, yet kept my look girly with a Paloma colorbock dress by Elizabeth & James:

I stored just a few small trifles in a pink accented Casshimi cross body bag:

And accented my pink and gray color scheme with neon green Shourouk E. Vegas crystal and sequin earrings:

(My Prada Baroque sunnies were to hide fatigue).

At any rate, there you have it. What do you think?

Sure we’re going full force during Fashion Week, but our Daily Bombshells still need their shine! Today we’re profiling Dionne, a Boston based designer for the line Bondij by Blond Di:

She says, “My designs have been featured on BET’s 106&Park, Miss Teen USA just to name a few.”

“… My designs are currently sold in 2 boutiques in Boston and Patricia Field, NYC.”

” I also work a full time job…”

“… and will be opening my own design studio & showroom this year.”

“I LOVE THE FASHION BOMB. “

“Thanks and hope to hear from you guys soon.”

Cute! I think adding some variety to your shoe repertoire would take your look to the next level.
What do you think? Would you buy from Dionne’s line based on her looks?

Happy Fashion Week Bombshells!

On Day 3, I decided to ditch the color, and go for all black with a touch of pattern. Since I planned to attend the Christian Siriano show that day, I ordered a Christian Siriano Black Mikado dress from Rent the Runway, then layered it under my Helmut Lang blazer:

I added of bit of interest with a Zara belt, along with necklaces by Michael Kors and Kenneth Jay Lane:

Because it. is. freezing, I of course pulled on a coat, and thought this Talon Blushed Blanket Jacket by BB Dakota from Karmaloop would fit the bill:

I didn’t make the same mistake as I did on day 1, so pulled on some sheer backseam hose by Spanx:

And added some height with heels from Velvet Angels–but made sure to store a pair of flats in my sturdy Givenchy bag:

And there you have it:

Day 3 Outfit: Hot! or Hmm…?

*Note, the BB Dakota coat is NOT warm. But I think it could be cool for, say, a California chill. If you want it, it’s on sale for $56 at Karmaloop (but they only have a medium). Also get it for $110 at Modcloth.

I’m literally running out the door, but wanted to share the outfit I wore on Day 2 of Fashion Week with you guys…!

Though most fashion editors are rocking hard with all black, I’ve been trying to kill it with color, adding a bit of fun to my everyday wear. For Day 2, I went with tried and true J.Crew, slipping on a pair of stretch twill Minnie pants in red flame:

I added a bit of pop with a blue pair of Miu Miu glitter pumps, along with a multi colored snake bag by Cashhimi:

My eyes were tired, so I wore a pair of Jungle Chic frames from Bonlook.com. I have a *very* high prescription, so am sometimes afraid they look like Coke bottles:

What do you think?
At any rate, yesterday was super busy, and today promises to be the same. I’m running off to see Lacoste, Jill Stuart, Christian Siriano, and L.A.M.B. In the meantime, what do you think of my outfit on Day 2?

*Random: my outfit kinda reminds me of this:

Ha!
*Outfit Info: J.Crew stretch twill Minnie pants in red flame. Miu Miu glitter heels. Vintage Fur. ken+dana design necklace. J.Crew Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater.

Hey!

So for Day 1 of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, I decided to play with color, pulling on my favorite J.Crew Blythe Silk Blouse in fetching purple:

I added a bit of contrast with an oversized orange clutch by Cashhimi:

Along with bright yellow patent leather pumps from Christian Louboutin (the heels are reasonable, so they’re not too much of a pain to walk in):

I anchored my multi-hued ensemble with a chocolate brown lace skirt from Zara, along with a vintage coat for warmth.

Your eyes are not deceiving you–I went bare legged. I somehow managed to shred through all my flesh toned hose, so had to go without. I won’t do that again. It was cold!

At any rate, as you all know, I like preppy, classic silhouettes, so love the idea of a button down and a pencil skirt. I tried to add some pizazz to my normal repertoire by working with various complementary colors and playing with texture.

How did I do?

Stay tuned for more of my outfits from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Smootches!
