Closing out this week is the lovely Jessica from Houston, Texas:
She says, “I am a 25-year-old professional and I describe my style as “classy sassy chic.””
“… I LOVE accessories and statement necklaces give me life!”
” I shop in a variety of stores, so if it looks fab, I’m buying! Doesn’t matter where it comes from.”
” I try not to ever pay full price for anything, therefore outlet malls, discount boutiques, and luxury discount retailers are my best friends.”
” I love to save money while still looking like a million bucks. :)”
Jessica also has a blog called www.thedivaesq.wordpress.com. Would you log on based on these pix? What do you think of her style?

So after coming home from the tents and blogging a bit, I didn’t have much time to change, so switched out my vintage blazer for a Diesel jean jacket, traded my YSL Tribtoo Platform Pumps for a pair of Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra wedge heels, piled on some jewelry, and hit the town:
I was too late for my scheduled interview with Rachel Roy, but did have a great time snapping Real Style and talking to Fashion’s Night out enthusiasts at Macy’s:
(I must admit, I did a little shopping)
I then headed to Missoni, where a big Missoni clad doll was stationed outside on her Iphone (I kid you not).
Turns out her name is Marina, and she has her own Twitter account, www.twitter.com/marinawithstyle. Follow her if you like, it’s kind of funny.
Today I had a handful of shows on my plate, including BCBG Max Azria:
For the big day I decided to go with my tried and true formula of sass + class in a BCBG Max Azria black long sleeve dress, vintage white jacket, and YSL Tribtoo Platform Pumps:
I threw my Ipad, wallet, and lip gloss into a large snakeskin purse by Cashhimi (www.cashhimi.com) and shielded the rays with Super sunglasses from Blake Scotland (www.blakescotland.com; 62 Clinton Street):
I added a fun necklace from H&M and an Iso ring by AG (copped it on Etsy here).
After twirling for the cameras I dealt with the very real problem of the site being down. Sigh. I did my best to resolve the issue on my Ipad and Iphone.
Don’t I look frustrated? Haha, at any rate, it all worked out in the end. The site is back up to speed. All’s well that ends well.
That does it! What do you think of my Style Diary for Day 1 of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week?
Hey Hey!
Excuse the egregiously late Bombshell. As many of you were aware, the site was down for most of the day….and I’ve been out at Fashion Week. But don’t fret, I think AJ from London was worth the wait:
She says, “My sense of style is classy meets glamour…”
“…with a slight edge.”
“I live in African print clothing.”
“For more on me, check out my blog, www.myafricancloset.wordpress.com.”
I love, love, love, all your colors and how your switch it up! Absolutely lovely. What did you think?

I, along with Mickey Boardman of Paper Magazine, Mary HK Choi of MTV Style, Ari Seth Cohen of Advanced Style, Joyce Chang of People Style Watch, and Christian Remrod of Fashion Networks waxed on about the evolving face of online media, our favorite promotional tools, and how we ‘humanize’ our respective brands.
A few takeaways (for me) : as a blogger it’s important to interface with readers. Get out from behind the computer, interact, share instances of your life, and talk to people. To whit, I met so many Fashion Bomb readers and former Fashion Bombshells in the audience, and had a blast chatting with them in person:
It was simply a delight to be included and to share a bit of my journey with the 300 fellow bloggers and blog enthusiasts in the room:
If you were there or watched it on livestream, I hope you enjoyed. In case you missed it, I’m sure IFB will have a copy of the event on their website, www.heartifb.com.
For the occasion, I chose to pull on a vintage houndstooth Azzedine Alaia dress (fun fact, Rihanna wore a two piece version of the same dress back in 2009 to the Z100 Jingle Ball. I really didn’t realize Rih and I were vintage Alaia houndstooth twins until I googled ‘Rihanna and Houndstooth’ later that night. I’m dressing like Rihanna without even meaning to!). At any rate, I accessorized with a pair of Miu Miu oxfords, Lia Sophia silver earrings, and my bling bangles by Jessie Adore:
The weather is kind of a joke, so I threw on a vintage trench to combat the rains and blustery winds:
I’m off to the tents for my first show of fashion week, Nicholas K. I recently bought an Ipad (but don’t know how to use it yet–ha), so will do my best to update with all the news and insights from the tents throughout the day.
Smootches!

Thanks to Jennine Jacob and Nubia Mejia of www.covetedmedia.com for extending the invitation!
Today’s Bombshell is the lovely Chimebere from Boston:
She says, ” I just wanted to submit some pictures of some of my fashion from the summer…”
“Please let me know your feedback :)”
“…I am a 27-year-old makeup artist…”
“I will be 28 on September 6th, yay!”
Happy Birthday! Your looks are very summer appropriate. Love your sailor inspired ‘fit. Too bad we’ll be transitioning into long pants and coats soon.

You guys loved our UK diva from yesterday, so I figured I’d keep the party going with Dami from London:
She says, “I would say my style is very laid back and versatile.”
“…I can be quirky and glam at times…”
“Depending on my mood.”
“Overall I keep it casual and chic!”
I adore everything, especially your oversized clutches. Cute!
