Hey Hey! So Fashion Bomb Daily celebrated its 10th Anniversary in late August, but we thought: what better time than Fashion Week to officially toast to 10 years? Fashion Bomb squad members Faith, Giselle, Marsha, and Pierre were in the building to turn up. During the night, we also announced two new additions to our team: stylist Kelley Carter, who will be our Editor-at-Large, and Ty Hunter, who will be our Director of Special Projects! Fashion Bomb Daily is becoming…
Claire’s Life: New York Spring 2017 Fashion Week Day 3 in Dodo Baror, Azzedine Alaia, and Chanel + Fun at the Lexus Lounge with Karrueche, Teyena Taylor, Bryon Javar, and more!
I have to literally run out of the door, but wanted to splash in a few pix from yesterday! The day started off with a pop by the Tracy Reese show, which took place in a beautiful enchanted garden. I said hey to Bethann Hardison and Lola Ogunnaike: Then I hopped in my Lexus to go to Milk Studios and kick it in the Lexus Lounge. The Lexus Lounge is a super chill space, reserved for celebs to charge up…
Ask Claire: Do You Ever Get Tired of New York Fashion Week?
So yesterday I was snapping and chatting (as I do), recording my steps as I navigated traffic, got calf cramps, and sweated out my makeup, all in the pursuit of getting to a fashion show on time. In the midst of my dynamic storytelling, one of my Snapchat followers asked: “Do you ever get tired of Fashion Week?” The answer is: YES AND NO. Yes, it is tiring. So tiring I’m actually taking today off to crank out some show…
Ask Claire: How Can I Apply for a Job at a Magazine Without Contact Information?
Hey! I’m cranking out this Ask Claire super fast, as I’m running to an appointment! I wish I could tell you what it was, but stay tuned for a Fashion Bomb product this holiday season. At any rate, let’s quickly get to today’s reader query: Mino asks, “I am a thirtysomething post-graduate student who is seeking to break into blogging. My interests are style and fashion, social politics and theology, and I know this is an odd combination, and so…
Claire’s Life: Fun at the Opening Day of the 2016 US Open Wearing Cushnie et Ochs, Reebok Classics, and Eloexa Specs
The US Open’s Opening Day was yesterday! I went over to watch the matches and kick it with a slew of fashionable, influential people, including Chef Roblé, Grace Mahary, Fatima Siad, Ciprianna Quann, TK Wonder, and Saada Ahmed (to name a few). I wanted to go for sporty chic, so I rocked a short and flirty Cushnie et Ochs dress with Reebok Classics and a Chanel purse. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to go with the US Open themed…
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
Hey Hey! So Wednesdays are for traditional Bomb Life 101’s! Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Nigerian singer and songwriter Tiwa Savage! Though she is known for her infectiously vibrant music and fashion, she’s also been in the news quite a bit because of a very public break up with her ex manager and former husband Tunji Balogun aka ‘Tee Billz’. Even though her separation has been surrounded by drama and confusion, Tiwa was…
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…
