So nominations are closed for our Best of 2011 series. Until our Bombshell and Bomber of the Year contests go down on Friday, however, I figured I’d continue showcasing Bombshells who wanted a second twirl on the site (Note: these Bombshells were not nominated for Bombshell of the Year, so there’s no unfair advantage). Take a look at Jacque from Kansas, who was first featured in February:

She says, ” I opted for no comments my first time around…”

“… but since then my style (and my confidence) has grown!”

“…. I’m not quite sure how to describe my style”

“..but I tend to keep it simple, with a twist.”

“… I also blog at thelionkingdom.blogspot.com!”

Hey Jacque! Love the new hair and the renewed diversity of your looks!

What do you think?

Though we’re not posting any New Bombshells for 2011 (stay tuned for our Bombshell of the Year contest this week), I know you guys are missing your daily dose of reader style!
So when Lucia from Manchester, UK (who was a Bombshell back in August ) decided to submit a few more pics, I decided to give her just one more chance to shine:

She says, “I would love to be featured again…”

“…The first time around I had just started my blog www.lolitasfashionideas.blogspot.com and was really holding back…”

“After seeing the comments on the feature it gave me more courage and confidence.”

“… I have since become more comfortable with my style”

“… and I now take more risks rather than playing it safe.”

“I really hope to get a second chance for a second feature….it would mean the world to me..”

There you go, Lucia! Love your looks.
What do you think? Is this Mademoiselle from Manchester Bombshell of the Year material?

Today’s our last day of Bombshell goodness for 2011. It’s been quite an interesting year, and I can’t wait for our Fashion Bomber and Bombshell of 2011 contest!
Closing out this year with a bang is the fabulous Fe from New York:

The co-owner of Brooklyn boutique, the Wagon, says, “My style of dressing tends to flow with my mood.”

“… I’m always feeling sexy and consider my style of dressing Sultry Chic. “

“I love dipping necklines…”


“…and I feel everyone should dress to accentuate their best assets.”

Nice! Fe actually came to our Sequins & Suits party and wore that lovely feathered and sequined creation for the festivities. Hot!
Learn more about her boutique at www.thewagonbk.com.
What do you think of our last Bombshell of 2011?

Last night The Fashion Bomb and Jerrell Horton of Suit Dreams welcomed revelers to Parlor New York for a sequins and suits themed holiday party:

Readers traveled from Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York to toast to the holidays, philanthropy, and fashion:

For the event, I went for maximum sparkle in a sequined dress by Parker, topped off by a Cashhimi clutch and pewter Nicholas Kirkwood sequin pumps.

I had an absolute BLAST meeting you all, and ogling all your cute outfits:










Ow!
Special thanks to Jerrell Horton of Suit Dreams for partnering up on such a fun event!

Also a big thanks to photographer Marta McAdams for the consistently awesome pix, and DsEyez Productions for our (forthcoming) video. Thank you to all my friends for your support. Love you! Lastly, a HUGE shout out to all The Fashion Bomb readers who rolled out! It was so amazing meeting you all in person.

Stay tuned for many many more events in the future.
Smootches!

Since I’ll be running around all afternoon getting ready for The Fashion Bomb’s Holiday Party, I’m giving you our Bombshell a little early.
I present you LV from LA:

She says, “I would define my style as sophisticated and classic…”

” with a little edge:-)”

“I have a blog called www.foodfashionandflow.blogspot.com..”

“It combines life inspiration with fashion, food, and poetry.”

“I love fashion and being stylish even in the kitchen…LOL.”

“I think everyone needs to be lifted and inspired…”

“… and I just wanted to share how I use my blog to do that:-)”

Super sophisticated! Love that multicolored dress with the yellow pumps!

Will have to check out your blog.
Do you like LV’s look?

Hey Hey!
I’m super excited to feature my friend and fellow blogger, Karen from London, as our Bombshell of the Day:

The New York resident and beauty behind the blog www.wheredidugetthat.com says, “My style is like a chameleon.”

“One day I’m a rock chick.”

“Another I’ll be boho or mod.”

“It’s really about the fun…”

“… of mixing different looks…”

” I always try and add some edge to everything.”

I’m unabashedly biased, but I love Karen’s style! She truly pushes outside of the box while managing to look glamorous at every shutter snap. See more of her style at www.wheredidugetthat.com.
What do u think?

Happy Monday, Bombshells!
Last week I was juiced to participate in a fun ‘alter ego’ shoot photographed by Derek Blanks for a Covergirl ad slated to appear in Essence Magazine:

Essence and Covergirl handpicked two bloggers, myself and Karen Blanchard of Where did U Get That, to pose as two versions of ourselves, all the while showing off Covergirl’s new Flipstick lipstick.

The product has two different colors, so you can mix and match for varying intensity, take your look from day to night, and adjust the color to speak to different sides of your personality. My alter egos were a dorky blogger and a fashionista, so stylists Rodney Hall and Meeka Johnson, makeup artist Saisha Beecham, hairstylist Clark Vincente, and manicurist Deana Blackwell collaborated to create my nerdy shot:

And my fashionista look:

It was a long but fun day, and I can’t wait to see the final product!

The ad is scheduled to appear in Essence’s April issue. I’ll be sure to do a follow up post when Covergirl flipstick is available and when the ad goes live.

Many thanks to the team at Essence and Covergirl, and to Derek, Saisha, Clark, Rodney, Meeka, and Deana.

Also, shout out to Jihan, my homegirl Karen of Where Did U Get That, and Michael Marrs of www.michaelmarrs.com for these fantastic behind the scenes shots. If you don’t know about Karen, hop to it. Matter of fact, she’d be a great Bombshell of the Day…!

Stay tuned.
Smootches!

So we’ll be asking for nominations on who you think should be Bombshell of the Year on December 15th.

Should the lovely Yolanda from Maryland be in the running?

She says,“Fashion is art to me…it’s so much fun and there are so many ways to express your sense of style.”

“… I would describe my style as classy vintage with a hint of sexiness!”

“… I’m a mother of two little princesses so my budget is very slim (lol) which shifted me to the world of thrifting! I love thrift store shopping and that’s where I find a lot of vintage items.”

“… On a typical day I’m rocking a blazer, simple top, boyfriend or skinny jeans and some killer heels and accessories!”

“.. That’s a simple equation to style perfection! Fashion is fun on a budget so I can only imagine how much fun it is when you are balling!”

Alright! Yolanda also blogs for NecoleBitchie.com and for www.etcblogmag.com. Be sure to check her on out.

The stars continued to shine this week with multicolored frocks, vibrant hues, and reinvented hairstyles.

From Miami to Manhattan, our favorite Fashion Bomb celebs brought the fire!














There’s a lot to love, isn’t there? I absolutely love the orange long sleeved dress Amber Riley wore to the Trevor Live! benefit in LA, as well as the orange collarless Michael Kors gown Paula Patton rocked to the India Premiere of Mission Impossible. Melanie Fiona’s short hairstyle was flawless in Miami, and Zoe Saldana shined in a geometric mod frock. In the end, however, my vote would either go to the strapless frothy navy gown first Lady Michelle Obama wore to the Kennedy Center Honors or the striped number Rachel Roy slipped on for the Cinema Society & Piaget Screening Of “W.E.” Much improved, Rache!
Which look is your fave?

So it seems some of you may have been bored by this week’s Bombshells–hopefully Tanisha from Florida can energize your chic senses:

She says, “My personal style is: if I like it, I wear it, trend or vintage.”

” I like to have a relaxed, not too fussy vibe about my style.”

” My weaknesses are sequins and leopard.”

” I learned that every single day is a chance to re-invent yourself.”

“So have fun!”

Ah, Tanisha, I have a leopard weakness as well. Some looks are a bit overaccesorized, but overall you have a distinctive style that’s far from boring.
What do you guys think?
