Claire’s LIfe + On the Scene: Cocktails with Claire Lagos at the Bridge in Lekki

So I have quite a few Lagos posts to upload (just two or three more!). While in Naija, I decided to throw an impromptu Cocktails with Claire at the Bridge, a bar and restaurant located at 8 Wole Olateju Street in Lekki Phase 1. Lots of familiar faces popped by, including Zina Anumudu, Jennifer Obayuwana, Efe Tommy, Taje Prest, and of course the Bridge owner Tola Odunsi. We sipped Moet all night long, listened to tunes, and had a good…

Lagos Style Diary Day 1: A Pop by Polo Luxury and #GTBankFashionWeekend

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I just touched down back in NYC from Lagos, and let me tell you: it was a whirlwind trip!

After being blown away by the delicious food, drinks, and decor, I spoke to the owner, Tola Odunsi, who suggested I invite Fashion Bomb readers over for drinks. To which I said: Absolutely! Join me tonight for cocktails and copious coups of champagne. Now, what do I wear…? Images:…

What Now? Donald Trump is President of the United States + I’m Going to Africa

It is with utter shock, disappointment, and disbelief that I report that Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States. Any minority; any disenfranchised, disrespected, and marginalized community feels the pain of this today. America went from progress and hope with the election of Barack Obama, our first Black President, to a man who has spewed hatred, lies, stupidity, and misogyny for the duration of his campaign. The question is what now? My knee jerk reaction is…

Claire’s Life: Hosting the Style Stage at the 2016 Soul Train Awards with Cream of Nature Wearing Tina Summers

Happy Monday, folks! Currently checking in to you from Las Vegas, Nevada! I was here covering the 2016 Soul Train Awards as the Style Stage correspondent for Creme of Nature!
