Today’s Bombshell is bespectacled cutie Tiffany:

She says, “I am from the Baltimore area.”

“… I’ve never seen anyone featured from there!”

“… I love your site..”

“… and look at it everyday.”

“I would love to have the opportunity:)”

I love how your glasses add just a dash or quirk to your outfits. I like! And for the record, we’ve had several Bombshells/Bombers from Baltimore this year! Reminisce on Antwain, Devin, Kim, Karima, and Ashlee. Baltimore goes hard on the Bomb!

What do you think of Tiffany’s style?

Bomb reader Cecelia nominated her friend Nelson from Detroit to be our Fashion Bomber of the Day:

She says, “Nelson is stylish from head to toe!”

“… I would describe his impeccable style as classic and preppy with a hint of urban flare.”

” He is meticulously stylish…in an effortless sort of way (if that makes any sense).”

” His dress absolutely mimics his personality.”

” He has a blog, nelsonsanders.tumblr.com , where he spreads his inspiration as an aspiring clothier. “

“…I think he’d be a great addition to Fashion Bomb Daily…his sense of style deserves to be shared with the masses!”

Thanks for sharing! I agree, his style is amaze. Love it, especially those red glasses.

Today’s Bombshell is Marlene from NYC:

She says, “I [split my time between] NYC and Miami.”

” I consider my style to be sophisticated glam with a hint of taboo chic.”

” At first, people have a misconception that I’m bougie based on my appearance.”

“…But once you get to know me, you’ll find my personality is as bright as the colors I wear.”

” I try to encourage my fellow plus size sisters to love and accept who they are…we all are beautiful. Know that true and lasting self confidence grows naturally when you become comfortable in your own skin.”

” I recently created a youtube channel www.youtube.com/SuperbFashionSense where I help remind my curvy divas that Fashion comes in all sizes….Don’t limit your style.”

Absolutely fabulous! You’re beautiful, have gorgeous hair, and style to match. Love that leopard fit, I might need to cop that!

Today’s chic contender is Candace from Philadelphia:

She says, “I’m a freelance wardrobe stylist.”

“I’m fun, girly in a silly way, and love anything bright, cool, and creative!”

” I love all prints/fabrics of any kind!”

Last night my friends invited me to see a screening of Beyonce’s new DVD,“Live At Roseland: The Elements Of 4” at Paris Theatre in midtown.

The night promised free popcorn, a Beyonce sighting, and a look at her latest concert–I couldn’t say no!
Before we settled in, Beyonce took to the stage to answer a few questions about the flick, which reveals several personal moments in her life:

She said, “I always do my video diaries. And when I’m doing them, I never think anyone will ever see them. But because I don’t tweet, I still feel it’s important people get a sense of who I am. It’s great when I can control it…I always try to reveal different sides of me…I feel like I’ve been here for a very long time. I’m still growing. I plan on continuing to perform and doing what I love. I think after 15 years, it’s time that I just enjoy my life. Performing gives me so much pleasure. And I do it so much because I love it. But as far as taking risks and staying excited, and inspiring other people…that’s what I want to do instead of proving anything to anyone.”
Take a look:

Let me tell you, people were jumping to their feet and dancing in their seats!
What do you think of the video?
Thx Gigi and Natalya!

Last night, after coming home from a screening of Beyonce’s Roseland Ballroom ‘4’ concert DVD at Paris Theater (more on that later), I popped by a kiosk and picked up Ebony Magazine’s December/January holiday issue with Jennifer Hudson on the cover. While perusing their annual Power 100 list, I looked and spied….

…this.

Of course I was super excited to be featured in a national magazine, on a list including tastemakers like Jay-Z, President Barack Obama, Oprah, and Pharrell Williams. But as you and I know, though the site is called The Fashion Bomb, the url is Fashionbombdaily.com—not FashionBomb.com.

On one hand, I’m disappointed the staff at Ebony didn’t take the time to simply plug in FashionBomb.com to see that it was not the right online address.

If they had, they would have seen this:

But on the other hand, I’m kicking myself years later that I had not pushed harder to purchase the blog’s URL when I first got started. To be honest, the young man who has been cybersquatting on that domain has owned it since I was a blogspot, and has offered to sell it to me for ridiculous amounts of money. His last quote was at $15,000, which is when I stopped asking–and hoped people would simply google the site to find what they needed. I’m sure the cybersquatting laws have changed since 2006. I own the trademark The Fashion Bomb, so should have some rights to the URL. Let’s just say owning the domain would make life easier–and perhaps wrangling it away from said cybersquatter will be one of my many projects for 2012.

New bloggers, here’s a quick lesson: buy your domain name (if you can), as soon as you can. If not, you may deal with lots of confusion in the future.

At any rate,THANK YOU to the team at Ebony for recognizing the site! I’m honored and flattered.

Smootches!

Hey hey now!
Picking a winner for our ShopKlassiq.com Ekineyo dress giveaway is taking forever, so I’m bringing you our Bombshell, Damaris from Delaware, a little early:

She says, “I would describe my style as organized chaos because my style is really all over the place.”

” I could go very Rachel Zoe-esque with a flared leg, wedge and a fur vest, to very Rihanna with leather jackets, shorts and combat boots.”

” I don’t follow the trends I just do what works for me.”

“I love mix-matching prints and combining delicate/feminine pieces with rough boyish pieces.”

“My style changes everyday, but I never make apologies for what I wear.”

What do you guys think of Mademoiselle Damaris?

We’re ending this full week with Lauren from Nashville, Tennessee:

She says, “I am a graduate student currently working on my Masters in Nonprofit Leadership and working 2 jobs in that field because that is my true passion. “

“I would describe my style as not necessarily following fashion trends but just going for what I like.”

” Not all trends are made for everyone. I love seeing various fashions but I stick with what looks best for me personally. Stay true to your style, fashion can be defined in various ways.”

“I love bright colors particularly hot pink, orange, and yellow.”

“My style is very bold, loud, colorful, vivid, and girly.”

“I am into color blocking and pop lip color. My favorite lip pop color is Candy Yum-Yum (a very bright pink) and Morange lipsticks made by MAC.”

” I love diamonds and things that sparkle the most. The way I dress fits my personality bright, out-going, and glitzy.”

“The world is my run-way. I love planning outfits for upcoming events. I am very detailed so I always shop ahead. I love most dresses, high-heels, and bags.”

A girly girl after my own heart. I love dresses and high heels–and things that sparkle. Also, snaps for your recreation of Stacy Dash’s colorblock outfit from Single Ladies. You nailed it!
At any rate, what do you think of Ms. Lauren?
