So remember how Friday on FBD used to be for Mail Bombs? Well now, we basically answer celeb questions throughout the week, so Mail Bombs aren’t really necessary anymore! But…we can have an Ask Claire session every Friday over here. Sound good? Let’s get started. Tasha writes, “I’m so excited that you are taking the time out to answer our questions! My name is Tasha Marie, I’m a fashion blogger and image consultant with very little success. I live in…
Throwback Thursday: I Started Fashion Bomb Daily Approximately 10 Years Ago, Today
Thursdays are always for Throwbacks, and I always want to reflect on where I was several years ago, on the date of my latest entry. While preparing breakfast this morning, I realized that I started Fashion Bomb Daily approximately 10 years ago, today. I had to go back 3,224 pages on the current site to get to that first post, penned August 29th, 2006. It was a Claire’s Life post without a picture of me (I would eventually emerge at…
The Bomb Life 101: Talking with Tiwa Savage about Loss and Keeping Your Private Life Off Public Forums

At any rate, I wanted to go for conservative with a twist for my meetings, so wore a button down shirt and black pants…with a twist. My pants have little black studs on the front, but I really added some flair with Jennifer Le…
Monday Moment: It’s Now or Never (I’m Writing a Book)
Happy Monday, Bombers and Bombshells! So today marks Day 1 of a few significant changes on The Bomb Life i.e. regular updates, twice a day (if I can swing it!). Mondays mark a new day, a chance to begin everything with a fresh perspective. So I thought Monday’s could be for moments of reflection. Life is short. And while patience is a virtue, sometimes you simply must seize the day and do things that are on your long bucket list.…
Coming Soon to Fashion Bomb TV: Cocktails with Claire Closet Confessions with Cardi B + 5 Things I Learned About Her
So last night I linked up with Love and Hip Hop New York star Cardi B to talk fashion, fame, and being in the spotlight. She is hilarious, super smart, and just as animated as you can imagine! 5 things I learned about her: 1. She doesn’t really drink Though suitors in the restaurant sent her champagne (and I helped myself to some Henny!), she’s not much of a drinker. She avoids the hang overs, empty calories, and prefers sparkling…
