With a bit of trepidation, and with some encouragement from my photographer, Pierre, I posted pix of me in a bikini on FashionBombDaily.com. Yep, that’s me in an Andrea Iyamah Kandu swimsuit and a beach cape I am 100% obsessed with. We all need to wear a swimsuit to the beach, so why not make it fabulous? Though I was feeling good about myself, I’m not gonna look at the comments on this one. People have already written in talking…
Ask Claire: How Do You Prepare Yourself for Trips, Mentally and Physically?
Happy Sunday! On Friday, I landed in Trinidad and Tobago for their Fashion Week! I’ve already sampled loads of Bake & Shark and Puncheon, and have been taking in the sites and sounds! So I figured Najah’s question was apropos for the next Ask Claire Feature! She types, “Obviously for your job you do a great deal of traveling. How do you prepare for each trip mentally & physically? “ Well, Najah, there really isn’t much preparation! I have my…
New York Style Diary: A Cushnie et Ochs Bordeaux Sleeveless Seamed Flirty Dress and Tom Ford Padlock Pumps
So I’ll still have my regular Style Diaries, in addition to my Ask Claire column! A few nights ago, I was on the host committee for a party for Common at Madiba in Harlem.

I said hey to Uptown Magazine EIC, Isoul Harris. Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Cynthia Bailey, also…
Alright, guys! So The Bomb Life is taking a new turn. As I mentioned here, I’m initiating a new Ask Claire section, and I’ll most likely have Ask Claire make up the majority of the posts moving forward! I kinda sorta like Outfit Posts, but it’s not really ‘me’, n’a mean? So I’ll just intersperse images of my most recent outfits in betwixt interesting, elucidating advice. Sound good? Our first Ask Claire question comes from Suzie, who types, “I am…
New York Style Diary: A Ricki Brazil Draped Top, Rick Owens Jacket, Rag & Bone Jeans, and Jimmy Choo Suede Abel Pumps
This is my casual look. I adore my Rag & Bone skinny jeans and have worn them into the ground! A slinky top and a leather jacket are all I need to hit the town for a day full of low key meetings. A lot of women slack just a bit on their casual days, but no need! All black is always a good option. Slip on some sunglasses and a smile and you’re good to go! What do you…
Happy Saturday! So while Fashion Bomb Daily has certainly found its footing, I’m still striving to make The Bomb Life more interactive and engaging! For any new blog, it’s all about exclusive content–what can someone find on your site that they can’t find anywhere else? Thus, I’m introducing a new Bomb Life Exclusive called: Ask Claire. Every time I go to events, particularly those with aspiring bloggers, I get asked loads of questions about how to make a blog successful!…
