The Bomb Life x DZRPT TV: Interviewing Nigerian Bombshell Toke Makinwa about Love, Loss, and Her Book Becoming

Happy Tuesday! While I was in Nigeria, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing radio personality and social media superstar Toke Makinwa, in a special partnership with DZRPT TV: With 978K followers on Instagram, Toke is one of the hottest Bombshells in Lagos (many people I spoke to likened her to the Nigerian Kim Kardashian). She recently published a book called ‘Becoming’ which talks about her journey, and her struggles in dealing with a very public break up with a…

The Bomb New York Restaurant: Lafayette Wearing a Duckie Confetti Fur. Iylia Booties, and a 24 Apparel Hat

I have a few favorite restaurants in New YorK City. One of my new haunts is Lafayette, located at 380 Lafayette. The Parisian style bistro has lots of sumptuous French treats, like the Croque Madame (above), escargots, and lots of lovely rosé. Fashion Bomb Daily’s executive team Ty Hunter, Kelley Carter, and myself brunched it up there yesterday to discuss Cocktails with Claire. I’m not gonna drop the bomb just yet, but we are working on confirming lots of great…

Happy Saturday!

The brand tapped me and other movers and shakers to take some fun pix and discuss our cures for Insecurity. I wrote, ““You have to nurture a quiet confidence and belief in yourself that no matter what you encounter—whether…

Thanksgiving came and went and now I’m headed back to NYC! While I am very thankful for friends, family, food, and readers (hey, you!), I don’t think I’m going to celebrate a traditional Turkey Day next year. Here’s why: 1.

Claire’s Life: At the Atlanta Hawks Game with Kim Blackwell, Kandi Tucker, and Don Juan + Gucci Mane Proposes to Keyshia Ka’oir + Toya Wright’s Book Launch at Cru

So when I come to Atlanta for Thanksgiving, I typically keep it low key and kick it with my family. Making runs to the grocery store are the high points of any given day. So I was excited when my mentor/shero Kim Blackwell invited me to watch an Atlanta Hawks vs. Pelicans game last night. Isn’t she fly in her Gucci sweater and Brogue Pumps? She stays DRESSED! I didn’t have any expectations aside from watching the game! And because…

Sneak Peek: My Bomb Life Book Cover Shoot Shot by Derek Blanks

So my book cover shoot went down yesterday in the A! In addition to being super talented, Mr. Derek Blanks is also super fast, so I already have the raw images back! We shot hundreds of pictures and four outfits, so the decision making is on. Because I’m impatient, I wanted to share a few images with you: I was nervous, but I’ve worked with the team before, so it wasn’t just a breeze: it was fun! Latasha Wright did…
