She says, “I went from an athlete to an aspiring model that loves to try so many different styles…”
“… and just dares to be different with a variety of colors.”
” I go for more of grown and sexy look such as pants, blazers, and collared shirts…”
“Styled with accessories and heels.”
” To know more about my style or latest photos follow me on twitter @tomboyBeauty. “

Columbus Day is such a weird holiday, no?
Since it doesn’t seem as if anyone is off from work, we’re continuing today with our daily Bombshell ritual from Robyn from North Carolina:
She says, “My style is some what urban grunge…”
“It’s always changing. “
“…I really like to make a statement with my clothes…”
“…And never like wearing the same look twice unless I absolutely love it.”
” I have a blog called Off 4th and Graham ( www.msrobynlove21.blogspot.com) where I feature what inspires me and current fashion trends and fashion shows.”
Cute style, cute dog, snaps all around! I’ll be clicking on your website shortly.

I always like to feature at least one guy a week, and today’s Bomber Dayne from North Carolina made the cut:
He says, “I’m a 21-year-old college student and an English major/ Entrepreneurship minor in the field of fashion writing.”
“… I always incorporate accessories in every outfit, most noted is my Hermes scarves which I rock tied different ways almost daily!”
“My sister Diva & I have our own accessories line, ALL$TARR APPAREL which has caught the eye of many artists, but most recently Rapper Rye Rye!!”
” I get complimented on my style because I do what feels authentic — I never hop on the wave of trends, however if I had to pick one style influence it would definitely be MR. KANYE WEST!!! “
“ I think it’s important to show that men can be fashionable & chic just as much as ladies considering men’s fashion can often be very mundane, particularly when it comes to black men.”
I can totally see the Kanye West influence. What say you?

Do you remember the very first time you laid eyes on Suede magazine? I surely do! At the time I was fresh out of college and the magazine just spoke to me in ways I tried to supplement with other mags before it. Or remember when Honey was still in print? I used to love pouring through the mag taking in every word and totally relating to Mitzi Miller‘s (who is now the Editor-in-Chief at JET) hilarious antics.
See, I’ve always been a mag hag. When I was a pre-teen and throughout my teens I’d jump for joy whenever the latest issues of Seventeen and YM hit the mailbox. I felt all grown-up reading about boys and fashion and what not. Plus it was soooo much more sophisticated than Highlights.
But then magazines like Honey and Suede came along and it was like OMG–YOU COMPLETE ME! Sure there was Essence, Ebony, and JET, but finally there was a magazine for my demographic. Glossies that showed young women just like me looking fly and fabulous.
Then one by one, all the magazines folded. I was hurt. Guess it’s hard out there in those ad sales streets for mags geared to young black women.
But with the explosion of blogs since then, I can not only publish my own take on fashion and beauty, but I can also get my fix by just a few mouse clicks. I can check out young black style in Atlanta, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Lagos, and beyond without having to take my left hand out of my bag of Funyuns.
While browsing the web last night, I came across the latest issue of Vibe Vixen magazine with cover girl Tika Sumpter. I almost fell out of my chair thinking that VV was back in print and raced to the site to subscribe. That’s when I realized it was a digital issue. *sigh*
Which leads me to ask of you, Fashion Bombshells…are fashion magazines geared to young black women still necessary? Would you like to see any past favorites come back to print? And would you drop the cold hard change to purchase?
And there you have it: my last Style Diary of Fashion Month (ha!).
This whole period has been exhausting, but I hope you guys have enjoyed the global Real Style and insights from the shows. Every season promises to get better…!
Thanks for all your support and for reading.
Smootches!

” I would describe my style as sensible fun; not too much and not too little. It’s just right for me!”

Bonjour, Bombshells!
Sorry for the delay/lack of posts. I got caught up shopping on Rue St. Honoré…eh ben voila.
Here’s a little Bombshell flavor to tide you over: Marley aka Sandy from New Jersey.
She says, “MARLEY SIMONE is me (Sandy); it’s just my other self. “
“I’m a woman; a lover of fashion; with an addiction to style, glamour and opulence.”
“…Fashion has always been a part of my dream world and I was never quite brave enough to execute on it and live out my passion. “
” That’s how MARLEY SIMONE was born. She’s fearless! Constantly inspired by fashion and a love for all things creative.”
“.. Based in NJ, I work with everyday woman as a fashion consultant and a personal shopper while blogging about everything and all things fashion ~ from the low end to the highest end.”
“.. As a stylist, I’m passionate and committed in the field of work I do. I love many things about fashion—I love the ownership and individuality one can exude by molding ideas and creativity into a unique expression, ‘add in some personality, and you are now one of a kind like a fingerprint.'”
Fierce, honey! I’m fanning myself, and it’s not because of the temperature. Werk! See more of Marley’s style at www.marleysimonestyle.com.

“Since I’m a college student on a tight college budget, I am a constant thrifter and bargain shopper.”
” I have no shame in cutting clothes and sewing them into a completely different outfit.”
” Vintage and 70s bohemian references are my pin points of style, I refuse to live in the box that the fashion world can create.”
“.. Eclectic and eccentric would be the two words that would help me describe my personal style. It takes a bold individual to retrace and recreate the lines of fashion that have confined so many others.”
” Shout out to those dope men and women who are redefining fashion.”
What do you think? Is Chakayla redefining chic?
