Bae and I celebrated our first Valentine’s Day together (insert heart emoticon here!). I decided to get festive in a pink Marissa Webb dress and Tom Ford Padlock Pumps. I popped a blood vessel in my eye! What had happened was: I had food poisoning and was throwing up as a result (feels like TMI already!). The force of my expulsions caused blood vessels to pop in both eyes (never happened before, it was bizarre!). The great thing is: popped…
In studying the stories of the most outstanding men and women of all of history, we find that every single one of them has been a great failure. It is impossible to succeed without failing; failure is an indispensable prerequisite for success, and all great success is proceeded by great failure. Every single person who has tried to accomplish something outside the ordinary has suffered setback and obstacle and defeat as they have moved toward their goal. The only difference is that the winners continually pick themselves up and carry on knowing that ultimate success is inevitable as long as they keep on going on.”

The Bomb Life 101: Pick up the Phone + A Celine Dress, Zara Jeans, and a Theory Fur
Ok, so I’ll admit: Bae is now my business partner. He has taught me so much about establishing the BUSINESS part of the Fashion Bomb Daily brand. I’ve been encouraging him to start a website (which he will do soon), but until then, I’m poaching his ideas;) One very important thing he’s taught me: The importance of picking up the phone. I’ll admit it: I love to write my thoughts (duh). So when communicating with most people, an e-mail or…
Instead of write about what I wore on my last day in Paris at Place Vendome (a McQ by McQueen dress and Alice + Olivia boots), I wanted to reflect on conquering your shortcomings. Yesterday just might’ve been my busiest day EVER!! It started at 10 am with a shoot for Colgate Optic White (I’m a brand ambassador and a member of their designer smile squad!). After werking on set until about 6 pm, I Ubered over to a shoot…
Eiffel Tower Style Diary: A La Belle Femme Fur and Leather Jacket, Topshop Guns N Roses Tee, Rayar Chain Detail Jeans, and Reebok Classics
For my third day in Paris, I took Bae to the Eiffel Tower! I was over wearing heels (hello!?!) so slipped on Reebok Classics Sneakers with a Topshop Guns n Roses tee, a La Belle Femme fur trimmed leather jacket, and chain accented jeans by Rayar Jeans. Get into these!!! An Ashaka Givens cuban link hat picked up on the details of the jeans. Then I was off to Maison et Objet! Thoughts on this casual look? Images: Guillaume Landry…
So as I mentioned here, I was invited to Paris by the Ministry of Tourism to see the trade shows aka Promosalons. I was beyond juiced to stay at Le Meurice, a swanky hotel located in the middle of all the action in Paris on Rue de Rivoli (exact address: 228 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, France). Le Meurice epitomizes luxury. I mean, take a look at this hotel! Yasss, I was having a Sex and the City moment! A…
