Today’s Fashion Bombshell is Janell from Washington D.C.:
She writes, “My style is a little all over place due to my business.”
“I want to always showcase my ability to style/dress anybody, so I dress appropriate for the occasion to showcase my skill set.”
“The only thing consistent is that every look is thrifted.”
“My personal aim is to be a ‘maximalist,’ but that type of style does not speak to everyone, so my style varies according to my message and the clientele I am trying to engage.”
Janell, I love your styling choices, especially your love for flowy pieces!

Happy Almost Thanksgiving, Bombers and Bombshells!
Last night, I was graciously invited to the Hawks vs. Pelicans game by my mentor, Kim Blackwell. We had great seats, right next to Kandi and Don Juan!
Gucci Mane was set to perform at half time, so his girlfriend, Keyshia Ka’oir was in the building. I finally got a chance to meet her, she is a sweetheart!
She was gracious enough to pose for a picture for our Instagram. She divulged that she was wearing a red fur Alexander McQueen coat. She kept the red tones going from head to toe.
Hot! or Hmm…?
After Gucci performed, he asked Keyshia to marry him!
With the sudden influx of musical artists and social media starlets in the past few years, having the ability to stand out among those in the crowd all boils down to talent, personality, and having the right look. Luckily for this week’s beauty crush, Tinashe, having all three seem to be working in her favor. Since she burst on the scene with her megahit song, “2 On”, the Kentucky native has been an unstoppable force, recently dropping a successful album, “Nightride”, collaborating with her idol, Britney Spears, and hosting E!’s red carpet at this year’s American Music Awards. And doing all this while showcasing gorgeous makeup and hair put us on notice.
Not one to go overboard with makeup, Tinashe seems to prefer colors close to her skin tone like soft browns and light pinks, especially on the eyes, lips and cheeks. Every now and then, though, she vamps things up with a red pout or a sultry smokey eye to liven up her look.
You tend to see a lot of female artists sport the same hairstyle at just about every red carpet, award show, or performance. But Tinashe goes against the grain. Whether she’s giving voluminous, cascading curls, a braided side-ponytail, or looking regal in an African printed headwrap, she takes risks and they usually pay off. And let’s face it. Rocking the same look repeatedly can become a little stale. So, here’s to this week’s beauty crush, Tinashe, for being a fearless risk-taker in both her music and her style. For more, spy our gallery above for our favorite beauty looks of Tinashe.

If asked to describe today’s Bomb Blogger personal style M.O., these are the signature traits that come to mind. This San Francisco native has captivated all our lives with a creative approach to fashion that continually sets the standard of a true fashionista. And, she’s given an entirely different meaning to the term classic.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into the tailored prowess of the ever-elegant Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific!
While Atlantic-Pacific focuses solely on Blair’s ability to piece together iconic ensembles, the blog is also a fashionable hub where you can find a highly-curated collection of the style maven’s partnerships and collaborations. Although she’s worked hand-in-hand with dynamic brands such as Tory Burch, Nordstrom, Barbour and Bvlgari, Blair always discovers a way build her eclectic and fanciful looks from a relatable standpoint.
I’ve followed along on her stylish journey (since about 2009) and it’s been beyond awesome watching her transform into the monumental influencer that you see today. Her Instagram following rings in at 931K strong, her Pinterest game is always on point and Facebook is just another outlet that she continues to dominate with her polished pizzazz.
I first fell in love with Blair’s style after I realized that she knew the ins and outs of styling a basic striped tee. No joke! Throughout college, this wardrobe staple was one of my favorite pieces to style. I paired my Forever 21 versions with distressed denim, clashing prints and even leather leggings; however, none of that would have been possible without a little help from the queen herself.
Blair’s highly intuitive when it comes to pairing basics with more exuberant finds and she’s the queen of flawless photography. Her social media is chock full of juicy goodies that offer little nuggets of inspiration in every single post. And, like all fashion killas, Blair knows what she likes! Although she skews more towards the conservative side, there’s never a dull moment with this Bomb Blogger! Whimsical hues, striking silhouettes and unexpected layers all add to the sartorial arsenal that produces pure and everlasting slayage. Of course, Blair’s closet must-haves include perfectly designer midi skirts, graphic print coats, oversized cat eye sunnies and (of course) a structured white button- up. Super chic, no?
Slay on, hun!
