Today we bless your Monday morning with this pic of Rion, a Fashion Diva from Dayton, Ohio:
She says, “I believe I should be Fashion Bombshell of the Day! I live in Dayton, Ohio, and my style is different from most. Everyone in Dayton pretty much dresses in urban fashion, however I love high fashion. My style is very versatile,  I follow trends but add my own flava.”
What do you think of her style?

Transition easily from work to after work in this $118 Mink Pink Breathless Dress in Black:
Rock it with a kitten heel for work, then bring out a hot red pump for happy hour. Pop your cosmetics in a small clutch, then wear it alone to complete your ‘night on the town’ outfit:
Last night was very full–I went to a John Legend concert at Madison Square Garden then hit up a fun party afterwards (more on that later!). Even with this crazy city, I still have to make time for Mail Bombs! Let’s go!
First up, Nikki says, “Who makes Rihanna’s leather and floral dress??”
“I love it!“
We did some research and found Rih Rih is rocking this Georgette Sheath by Rag & Bone:
She says, “It looks so fab, but I don’t have that kind of money to spend on a skirt. Can you please find me some less expensive alternatives?”
Try these on for size:
Nahla says, “I heart Solange’s shoes!!“
“…who makes them?”
Solange is wearing a pair of fresh off the runway Moschino Cheap & Chic Fall 2009 lovelies:
Luckie says, “Omg ! Angela’s shoes are sooooo dope!”
” Will you please find out the designer & where they’re available?”
Hey! Fashion Bomb reader Femme Royale maintains that Angela is wearing a pair of Alexander McQueen Peep Toes. McQueens can run you about $1200 (eek!), so get the look fora little less with these:
In another Angela Simmons Mail Bomb, Tiffany says, “I fell in love with these leggings Angela has on!“
Lastly in a Beauty Bomb, Lesley says, “I’m going to an evening wedding on Sunday and I don’t know what type of makeup to wear. I’m wearing a lilac cocktail dress. I don’t wear much makeup, so I was wondering if you could help me out with something light and cute.” Eileen to the rescue! She says “Since you don’t wear much makeup I would go with fun products that are easy to use!
Face: Apply a foundation in your shade all over your face including the eyelids. CoverGirl Queen Collection has a shade for every woman of color under the sun!
Eyes: Try using Stila’s Talking Eye Shadow Quad in The Bronzes to help create a light smokey eye, which would be perfect for your cocktail dress. It will walk you through all the steps of applying color to the lid, crease, contour and liner. Once you have applied the color finish up with mascara like Rimmel Sexy Curves in Black.
Cheeks & Lips: Dab some of Benefit Benetint Pocket Pal on the apples of your cheeks and work in an upward motion from apples to cheekbones. Apply the same stain to lips and cover with the sheer gloss.
For a glam finish to your look, lightly dust a bronzer like Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact Bronzer to the edges of your hairline, temples and bridge of the nose. “
That does it!
Stay tuned for more fashion, news, and fun pix!
Smootches!
Hey!
So after attending John Legend’s concert last night, I sashayed over to night spot Taj to celebrate Brooke Crittendon’s birthday party! I was able to meet and catch up with a few fabulous peeps.
Of course I had to say Happy Birthday to Brooke who looked gorgeous in a tie dye cut out mini dress and poppin pink lipstick:
Turns out Brooke is newly engaged to Harlem Heights hottie Christian. She literally glowed!
I also had to say ‘hey’ to one of my favorite bloggers, Rae Holliday of Stuff Fly People Like:
We chit chatted and just might collaborate on an event later on this year.
The last and biggest surprise of the night was seeing Dwight from the Real Housewives of Atlanta:
I’d actually met him before at Baby Phat’s Fall 2009 show, but every time I see him it’s like a breathe of fresh air! He was working some hot lashes and cascading pearl necklaces ( a la Rihanna). He was so much fun!
I have just a few more days in NYC before I pack up and go back to Paris. But no worries, I’ll be in town again for NY Fashion Week!
