Hey Bombshells!
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the book launch party for my friend Demetria Lucas aka A Belle in Brooklyn. The award winning writer and relationships editor for Essence Magazine penned a sassy tome called, “A Belle in Brooklyn: The Go-To Girl for Advice on Living Your Best Single Life”. The blockbuster book drops today, so Demetria welcomed lots of industry insiders and friends to a penthouse to enjoy Belle cupcakes and drinks by X-rated Fusion Liqueur.

Take a look at a few snaps:

The fabulous Bevy Smith was in the building, and delivered a speech during the festivities.

Friends Michelle, Arlene, and Kai came out to support.

Gardy and Calcie were amongst the many men in attendance.

A fan holds a Belle-tini and a signed book.

Of course I snapped a few pix!

And a quick twitpic with the Belle of the Ball.
Speaking of Belle, check out her outfit!

She was blinging in an optic white dress from ASOS, sparkly heels, and diamond bangles.
It was a fun night.

Today’s Bombshell is gorgeous Grace from D.C.:

She says, “My style is very feminine, chic, eclectic (at times), sexy w/ a touch of sophistication. I mix highs and lows with some new and vintage pieces.”

“I just try to put on things that make me feel good. My style aesthetic is neat and clean, polished when I go to work, but laid back when I am not.”

“I LOVE accessories – I’m not dressed without them. I am always putting on and taking off pieces until I feel I’ve gotten it right… Sometimes I don’t but that’s okay too..”

“I tried to show a variety of looks: What I wear to work, casual, going out, etc.”

“Oh and I blog too… Amazeingrace.blogspot.com“

Will check you on out!

Today’s Bombshell is the alluring Arielle from Birmingham, Alabama:

She says, “I have a very classic style but at times some have said I’m a little gaudy (how shocking! lol).”

“… I am a 24-year-old local television news reporter. I’m fairly young but my work attire is very limiting (i.e. nothing sleeveless, certain colors, lengths, styles etc) and doesn’t necessarily scream youth and fun.”

“… So when it comes to my after work/weekend attire I really get to let my personality show. I follow the trends but feel I have an older look and spirit and so try to stay true to my own personal style.”

“I was born and raised in the south so there’s a certain level of respectability I try to keep but I always try to add some flair. ”

“I like the usual stores (Gap, Forever 21, Zara, H&M, Old Navy, BCBG, Banana Republic, and Victoria’s Secret catalogue) but my secret is dedication. I keep constant tabs (like daily) on these stores’ websites waiting for the prices to drop or special deals.”

” I also stop by most of them at least once a week (if not more) to check and see the latest thing that hits the sales rack. Shopping isn’t a task for me, it’s a joy!”

Everyone loved Fatoumata from France yesterday, so I figured I’d keep the European fab going with Abigael from Germany:

She says, “I’m 27 years old.”

“I have a personal style blog called www.likemousseauchoco.blogspot.com.”

“My style is my religion.”

“I just love to make myself beautiful.”

And you do a great job. You girls are working the stuff out of the colorblock trend!
What do you think?

It’s been a minute since we’ve had an international Bombshell, so today I thought I’d bring you Fatoumata from France:

She says, “I can’t really define my style because I am inspired by everything around me, fashion, and my origins.”


” I like saying that I am a little black pin-up.”

“I love mixing trends and I am very feminine.

“I have a fashion blog on which I give ideas, offer fashion news, and post looks (some of my design). Check me out at www.delightfulebonygorgeous.blogspot.com.”

Will do! And er ah…where did you get that ruffle back skirt? Hot!

Today’s Bombshell is the aptly named Lynne from Brooklyn:

She says, “I’m also known as Akua (Native Name). I’m originally from Ghana, West Africa but I currently reside in Brooklyn New York.”

“.. My style is very classy with a bit of edge. I can also add a twist of preppy flavor depending on the occasion.”

“I also love authenticity so I sometimes add a touch of African print to my look to accentuate my style.”

“…I think less is more so simplicity is always key.”

Cute!

Today’s Bombshell is classy Kim from Baltimore!

She says, “I absolutely LOVE fashion. “

“…I would say my style is effortlessly chic. I never want to look like I’m trying too hard.”

“… I am addicted to shopping!! My favorite places to shop are the Salvation Army (you can find really cool pieces there), H&M, and eBay.”

“… I love to look nice, but hate spending a ton of money on clothes and shoes, so I am a definite bargain shopper! Brand names are irrelevant to me.”

“…I am in love with all things fashion, hair (newly natural), and makeup. I have a beauty channel on Youtube www.youtube.com/backsyncfan.”

“…tomboy with a dash of womanly chic.”

” A true budgetista lol.”

“My blog m3lloyellow.blogspot.com documents my love of fashion and beauty products.”

Hey Hey!
Today’s Bombshell is the super chic Rashada from Lakeland, Florida:

She says, “I can’t really describe my style.”

“… I just wear what I like….”

“…. I’ve actually worn what I like since I was old enough to mismatch (thanks Mom!)”

” I am a “former” tomboy though, so I’m sure that plays a part in my selections at times. “

” I sent you more than a few pics (old and new), so I’ll let you decide which you feel are worthy of a Fashion Bomb status. ;)”

All your pix are Bombshell worthy! Gorge. What say you, Bombshells?

We’ve gotten some great submissions lately for Fashion Bombshell of the Day!
Could it be because a national retailer* was recently scouting for fresh faces in the Bombshell section? Maybe!
At any rate, today’s Bombshell is fab-u-lous. Her name is Iris and she hails from Philadelphia:

She was submitted by her friend Chelsea, who says, “Iris Barbee Bonner is a well known artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.”


“If I had to describe her style it would be artsy, laid back funk :)”

“…She is like the sweetest girl EVER and makes hand painted t-shirts.”

“I know she’d be PERFECT for Fashion Bombshell of the Day.”

“She has a blog at www.thesepinklips.tumblr.com.”

“….She also customizes ANYTHING from t-shirts to even shoes!”



“…Contact her at thesepinklips@gmail.com for price and buying info.”

Cool, funky, and creative? Definitely a Fashion Bombshell. And I’m gonna need one of those shirts, a painting, (and that dress) ASAP!!

*KMart was looking for diverse men and women with great style for their next print campaign. One of their first stops was the Bombshell of the Day section!
