It’s been a little while since we’ve had a male Fashion Bomber, so I thought I’d bring it back with Adrian from Indianapolis, Indiana:
He says, “My style is not something a lot of guys (especially guys my age) are really into, which is what I like most about it–It’s a one-of-a-kind look.”
“… I don’t really shop for labels. I’m more into the quality of the garment and how it will complement my wardrobe.”
“… My fave pieces are my jewelry and my bow tie collection. I’m a huge advocate of men implementing both into their wardrobes.”
“… As a 20-year-old college student I feel the way that someone dresses should be an outward manifestation of an individual’s personality and a story of their progression from boyhood to manhood, not what everyone says is the hottest trend.”
Go ahead and put that college degree to use! Very cute. Photography could be better, but ‘fits are on point. Follow Adrian at @LastKingTrae.

Today’s Bombshell, Linda from Miami, opened her e-mail to us by saying she was, “A Fashion Bombshell for any shape, color, or size.”
She continued, “My style is… fun and flattering. It varies with my mood or even depending on the music I’m listening to.”
“… I like to think I am not just a well dressed FAT girl.”
“…I was reading one of your previous Bombshell’s comments and someone said the one line I HATE: ‘She dresses nice for a fat girl.’ I would like to think my style can relate to any woman who simply wants to be cute, sexy, and classy.”
” Due to my job in law enforcement it is hard going from one end of a spectrum to another. I find any free time is fashion time.”
“For so long I was under the impression that fashion was not for the FAT. “
“…I just want my fashion to be an inspiration!”
” I grew up not being able to afford the finer things. There was no place for fashion in my home growing up, so I would look at Vogue magazines and dream.”
Cute looks and confidence for days. I love it, especially the animal print dress. Will be checking out your blog in two shakes!

Today’s Monday Fashion Bomb maven is Jay from Chicago:
She says, “I think my style is sporty, casual, feminine & chic!!!!”
Let the rest of the pictures speak for themselves:
It’s pretty amazing how you can look so different from one photo to the next. You’re quite the fashion chameleon! See more of Jay’s thoughts and pix on her Tumblr, www.fashiondiaryofjb0w.tumblr.com.

Hey Hey Bombshells!
Yesterday I headed to the Hamptons to sample and smell Sean John’s newest scent for women, “Empress.“
As the female counterpart to Diddy’s ‘I am King’ fragrance, Empress has a crisp, fruity smell, with a musky overtone that offers a slight masculine edge.
Diddy apparently designed the fragrance with a powerful, modern woman in mind, so tapped songstress Kelly Rowland as its ambassador. About 15 other bloggers, including Micah Jesse, Love Brown Sugar, and Jessica of the Glamazons Blog took a limo bus to the Ciroc Cabana Club in Sag Harbor to listen to tunes, munch on food from STK, sip Ciroc, and smell Empress:
Of course I couldn’t go to the Hamptons without my vintage sunnies from Screaming Mimi’s and my new white Iphone! How else can one tweet in all that sun?
It was perfect to chill by the poolside with a few of my favorite peeps from the blogosphere:
Kelly Rowland actually showed up, but was in a super duper rush, so aside from a speech, didn’t offer The Fashion Bomb a picture or a video (womp). She did look gorgeous, however, in a plum jersey dress with smashing gold accessories:
It was a fun time!
Empress will debut at select Macy’s department stores nationwide. Will you be checking it out?
Smootches!
Photos by the fabulous Marta McAdams (isn’t she the bomb?)
*Beauty Notes: It was super hot, so I simply applied a bit of MAC’s sea green liner on my lower waterline along with a flourish of Afrobella’s All of my Purple Life gloss.
*Like my romper? I have a brand spanking new one in a size 10 to give away! If that’s your size (or you want to try it on and tailor it down), leave a comment telling me how you’d wear it. I’ll select a reader at random to similarly rock with Boxing Kitten in style this summer. I will choose 1 lucky reader at random. The contest ends Friday, August 5th, 2011 – 11:59 PM EST.
Tricia Lee of Polish Bar of Brooklyn is celebrating her salon’s 5th anniversary by offering one lucky New York based Fashion Bombshell a $50 gift certificate:
If you follow me on Twitter, you’d know that I love, love, love Polish Bar! In addition to being a stone’s throw away from my house, they are one of the few places in Brooklyn offering all the hottest nail trends including Minx, Shatter Polish, and Gel.
The music is always bumping, the staff is to die, and service is quick and courteous. You’re gonna love this gift card! I understand pampering and getting pretty is a luxury and out of the budget for many. If that’s the case for you, leave a comment telling us how much a mani/pedi would mean to you (or someone you know who needs a little R&R). I’ll choose based on need!
The winner will also be invited to Polish Bar’s super exclusive party on Thursday, August 11th. Fun!
So leave a comment and tell us why you deserve to get pretty! I will choose 1 lucky reader at random. You must follow all rules to qualify. The contest ends Monday, August 8th, 2011 – 11:59 PM EST.
*Update: Reader Sade noticed that while Leona’s shoes have a platform, the Zanotti’s do not. Reader C came to rescue, finding a lower priced version of the Zanotti shoes–plus a platform–for $185 at Bakers.
Get the Bakers version here or get the look with the options below:
The designer for Madame Got Rocks was actually nominated by her friend Cherina.
Cherina says, “I am nominating this beautiful young lady by the name of Annisa.”
” Annisa has an ultra-chic style.”
“… And she always looks perfectly classy, elegant, and polished.”
Annisa, I think your friend described you to a T! Polished, classy…all of the above.

Today’s Bombshell is Morgan, a Southern California native currently living in D.C.
She says, “My Style is a mixture . I’m from Southern California so I love to have an edge but I live on the East Coast so I love to mix in a little sophistication.”
“…I guess if I had to call it a name it would be casual edgy with a chic touch.”
” My celebrity style idol would be Gwen Stefani.”
” Though on causal days I love evoking Vashtie Kola in a loose button up with tanks with Chucks/ Jordans.”
“I love chains and black…. “
“Chains are so versatile they can give a classic Chanel look or add a rocker flair to any outfit.”
“Statement pieces in all forms are my weaknesses. Fashion is a great form of expression. For me it changes with my mood.”
“I am addicted to thrifting and finding fashion items on a budget.”
“It started off more lifestyle and as I discovered more and more fashion blogs I decided to take my “addiction” to the web.”
Really love that pop of neon with the striped jacket and red mini. Girl, you better werk!
