Hey Guys!
So sometimes our Bombshells are so good, they need two appearances to capture all their fabness!
I present you, two time Bombshell of the Day, Lori from LA:

She says, “I’m a huge fan of mixing vintage into my wardrobe, I love the character of vintage pieces and how they don’t look like anything you’ll find in a retail store. It doesn’t hurt I have a knack for finding pieces at amazing prices!”

“…I’ve recently had this turn into a service where I’ve started shopping for others that don’t have as much luck with finding great vintage and retail finds for less or know how to incorporate them into their wardrobe.”

“…I gravitate towards eye catching prints like leopard and rich colors as well as staple accessories like lion brooches and vintage charm bracelets.”

“…I also often find myself wearing black and neutral colors, but I make sure to mix bold prints and colors here and there to add just the right pop of color when wearing basic and neutrals.”

Isn’t she fab?? You can see more of her style at www.hisherschicago.com.
What do you think? Hot or Hmm?

The fly girls of Ebony Magazine’s new website, www.ebonyjet.com, interviewed little old me for a feature called, “A Day in the Life of a Fashion Blogger”:

A few excerpts:

Q: Any cool highlights from your experience during fashion week this season?
A: The first night there was a party for Naomi Campbell’s 25 years in the biz and Andre Leon Talley was there, Russell Simmons, Pat McGrath; basically anyone in the business who’s fabulous! For Fashion’s Night Out we saw Naomi again at Dolce & Gabbanna along with Chris Brown and Fabolous, so I think things like that are also very interesting.

Q: What trends have you seen in the shows so far?
A: Lots of nudes, whites, ivory, lots of asymmetrical dresses, a short hem, not a lot of huge totes, just small clutches, over-sized glasses. I haven’t seen a lot of color – that’s what I’ve been missing because it’s what I like about spring. You can kind of shine in turquoise and yellows and pinks and whites so to me white isn’t very exciting. I haven’t seen very much though so we’ll see.

Q: So what are the top three things that will get you through this week?
A: My blackberry, my Mac Book, my camera, lip gloss and flats…that’s like five!
Pretty cool.

I just got done watching Nanette Lepore, now I’m off to see LaQuan Smith’s presentation at the Peninsula.

Hey Guys!

Blogger and stylista Whitney from Dallas, Texas sent in the following pictures for Bombshell of the Day:

She says, “If I could describe my style I would say it’s a little bit of everything.”

“I wear what I like and I don’t really follow trends too closely. “

“I love skirts and dresses and rarely wear pants (I find them uncomfortable), but if I had to describe my style, I would say it’s kind of vintage with a little bit of funk.”

Super cute! Whitney loves fashion so much she started an image consulting company. Check her out at www.imagemaven.wordpress.com.

Hey Guys!
Today our Bombshell Tiara hails from Tallahassee, Florida:

She says, “My style is crazy, bold with a bit of wackiness and a few dashes of class.”


” I’m a designer of my own clothing line T.Jenks and in most of my pictures I made my own clothing.”

“I love quirky and cooky looks, I love stuff that most people would never pick up and make it beautiful. I have a weakness for anything bright and bold!”

Yes you do! Loving your cute sequined number.
As Tiara mentioned, she has a clothing line called T . Jenks. Check it out here.

Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of attending a Q & A session with Elle Magazine’s Creative Director Joe Zee in American Express’ Sky Box at Lincoln Center:

After a brief introduction, the moderator opened the floor, so I had to ask about the choice of Gabourey Sidibe as a covergirl for one of Elle’s four 25th anniversary covers. He said, “We chose four girls, Lauren Conrad, Amanda Seyfried, Gabourey, and Megan Fox because they are all about 25 -years-old and have been smart in their careers. With Gabourey specifically, she scored an Oscar nomination this year, a milestone actresses who have been in the industry for years dream of reaching. I thought she was an amazing choice.”

I had to press about the choice of her less-than-flattering wig and also why they chose to feature just her face instead of a full body shot. He said, ‘Well Gabourey came with her own hair, I had nothing to do with the hair,” he explained, “And with the crop of the photo, we thought it best reflected her bubbly personality. When she comes into a room, she’s not Precious. She’s talkative, bright, and a total movie star. I chose the green dress because I wanted her to look like a Hollywood Starlet. And we chose this shot because I felt she carries most of her spirit and personality in her face.”
Sounds like a solid explanation.

What do you think?

Wow, what a way to kick off Fashion Week!
Yesterday was chock full of fashion, fun, and celebrities:

Check out a few snapshots:

As I was stepping out of Christian Siriano’s Spring 2011 show (review to come), I ran into the beautiful Rachel Roy, who was in the tent meeting and greeting fashionable folk.  Rachel apologized for the early start of her Spring 2011 presentation on September 14th (it kicks off at 9:30 am), but I wouldn’t miss RR for the world!

After a quick lunch, I quick stepped over to the Hudson Hotel to meet up with friends who threw me an impromptu “Welcome Back to the States” party! I was surprised my sweet friends organized a shindig for little old me, but was even more bowled over when I looked up and realized the table in front of me was chock full of ‘celebrity’ fashion bloggers like Bryan Boy (www.bryanboy.com), Rumi Neely (www.fashiontoast.com), and Amy Odell from New York Magazine’s the Cut (www.nymag.com/daily/fashion). I went over and said heyyyy:

Turns out they were cooling their heels after a fashion bloggers conference called Evolving Influence (which I wanted to go to, but couldn’t find time with my schedule). I hope to go next year and maybe even sit on a panel.

Hot!

The icing on my fashion cake was celebrating Naomi Campbell’s 25 years in the business at Le Bain with the inimitable Bethann Hardison, Tyson Beckford, David Agbodji, Ajak Deng, BJ Coleman, Andre Leon Talley, Russell Simmons, Sessilee Lopez, Naomi Campbell herself…I mean the list went on and on in terms of famous faces. I was almost speechless. Check out a few Blackberry Pictures:
Yours truly and fierceness herself.
Ajak Denk who is *so* beautiful. She remembered me from when I took her picture during Haute Couture in Paris.
Bethann Hardison cutting a rug.
My homegirl Maya Lake, designer for Boxing Kitten.
Sessilee Lopez and designer LaQuan Smith.
Rachel Bilson.

Tyson Beckford and friends.

It was definitely a star studded affair.

I had the most fun chatting with David Agbodji…

… who wanted everyone to know that he’s NOT Nigerian, but in fact Togolese, and spent his youth between France and Moscow. We had a good old time speaking French. His francais is impeccable and ADORABLE! It’s official, I have a new crush!

Anyway, I’m off to pop into a few shows today. Be sure to follow me on Twitter (@thefashionbomb) for the blow by blow!
Smootches!

Today I’m super juiced to feature Alicia from LA, commonly known as the mind behind popular blog InnyVinny (www.innyvinny.com):

She says, “At its core, my style is best described as a take on boy meets girl.”

“… I love neutral colors and simplicity, but I try to keep it from being boring with different textures and silhouettes or an interesting pair of shoes.”

“I rarely do prints, but when I do, I like to go bold.”

“… I keep my accessories to a minimum and they’re usually something I or one of my friends made.”

Great style, Alicia. Your outfits are inspiring and I love your glasses!

Jasmine from Atlanta, Georgia brings a little Southern Fried Flavor to Bombshell of the Day feature:

She says, “My style is forever changing and unpredictable, but I’m always lady-like.“

“…Almost everything I wear is reconstructed vintage or something I made for one of my collections.”

“I also adore Emilio Pucci…hence the Pucci boots in one of my pics.”

“I am a designer for J. Pearl Couture and sell to many boutiques in the Atlanta area.  I also have an online business selling reconstructed vintage clothing, vintage shoes, etc. “

Fly and talented? That’s a dope combination. And um, I’m gonna need that camel belted jacket in the last picture!
