My birthday was turned all the way up, so I decided to cool it all the way down this weekend. For me, it was all about getting my house in order…catching up on expenses, cleaning, working out, popping by art exhibits, and getting in some good reading! I received Ty Alexander’s book “Things I Wish I Knew Before My Mom Died” in the mail, and decided to indulge while burning my new BOMB Figue 15 candle (more on that later).…
As I stared out from the 36th floor at the Waldorf Towers yesterday, celebrating my birthday, I thought back to my first January in New York many many moons ago. As I wrote in my book, “My first day in New York was three days before my 23rd birthday. The weekend I arrived, I remember feeling so overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to do in Time Out New York and so intimidated by all the many, many people walking…
Claire’s Life: My Staycation at the Waldorf Astoria in New York
Happy Friday!!! So I got my birthday wish: a day of luxuriating at the Waldorf Astoria! Kings, Queens, royalty, and movie stars have stayed at the Waldorf, so I felt it only fitting to stay there on my special day!

After getting settled in, I headed to the Guerlain spa for a relaxing massage. I…
So my birthday is Thursday, January 12th!! Yasss, Capricorn Season is here! While my friends are blowing me up, asking about drinks and dinner plans, I am not interested.

Claire’s Life: The Being Mary Jane Screening with Gabrielle Union and Dave East, Wearing By J Loren’s Croc Embossed Mongolian Fur Motto Jacket
Last night, I got all dolled up for a Screening of Being Mary Jane, presented by BET! The event called for a cool, casual vibe, so I rocked jeans, a sheer top, and a Croc Embossed Mongolian Fur Motto Jacket by J Loren: I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never watched Being Mary Jane, but after catching the screening, I was intrigued. Mary Jane seems to be like many of us: ambitious, razor sharp, and on point when it comes…
Claire’s Life: Angela Yee’s Birthday Brunch in a Jennifer Le Bomb Stole and Tnemnroda Eyeglasses
Yesterday, the team and I popped by Angela Yee’s birthday brunch in Brooklyn! Though the dress code for her brunch called for Resort wear, it was cold outside! So I bet on all black with my NEW FAVORITE: A Bomb Stole by Jennifer Le. I’m big on visualization! I was salivating over Jennifer’s “Major” shawl in the Fall. When I found out Miss Le does customized pieces, I decided to treat myself for my birthday (which is coming up on…
