So I’m in LA! I landed yesterday morning and slept for a few hours before heading to Essence’s Annual Black Women in Hollywood Awards! This is my 4th or 5th time going (stay tuned for a throw back/evolution at the end of this post), and it’s always a great time! It’s like a family reunion mixed with loads of inspiration. I strongly feel like I hear some of the best and most motivational, uplifting speeches at Essence Black Women in…

At the time, she was making some red carpet gowns, but mainly ready to wear. I’ve worn her brand many times…!

Claire’s Life: Toasting to Success at the Sergio Hudson Fall 2023 Show with Hennessy X.O, Kimora Lee Simmons, and More!

Happy Monday! Over the weekend, I was blessed to sit front row at the Sergio Hudson Fall 2023 show. The offering harkened back to the 80’s with bold neon colors, print, and Barbie like hair. The season, Hudson introduced logo’d pieces and new prints, along with bright hued gowns with cut outs that I can see gracing any red carpet.  For the occasion, I wore Sergio Hudson under a Konstantine Furs coat. After the show, I toasted to success with…
