Hey Heyyyyy! So I’m in Las Vegas for the Soul Train Awards. But before I hopped on that long flight, I spoke at a conference called Simply Stylist in New York. Bloggers like Damsel in Dior and Kat from With Love from Kat spoke on panels and offered advice on blogging, social media, and more. It was interesting that I was pegged to be on the entrepreneur panel and not the ‘blogger’ panel, but when you think about it, I’m…
it’s crazy to continue to complain about a situation but do nothing about it. I hate where I live in New York. I’ve been complaining about it for months! And after hearing my neighbor seemingly do the wobble, electric slide, and one-two-step in clunky shoes over my head this morning at 9am…then open the blinds in my living room to enjoy the view of construction, trash cans, debris, and LARGE BLACK TRASH BAGS, I thought: I gotta get out of…
Claire’s Life: Africa Fashion Week LA + Discovering New Designers and the Future of African Fashion
We all know about the big names–the Riccardo Tisci’s and Olivier Rousteing’s of the world–but I find the most fulfillment from finding out who’s got next. I’m able to do so by popping into smaller fashion weeks like Africa Fashion Week LA, which I attended last week. The two day event was created to showcase some of the best talent from the Continent. I thought it only fitting to wear something by a designer who was showing. How refreshing that…
As the season’s change, I can’t help but think of new Bomb items I’d like to add to my ever growing wardrobe. I’ve run my poor Givenchy Nightingale into the ground, and it’s time I invest in a new tote! Because Givenchy has served me very well for so long, I’m going to go ahead and splurge on a new bag, particularly their Medium Antigona in black. I’ve been eyeing the brand’s shark lock wedge boots for years, and they’ve…
Claire’s Life: Ciroc’s Hustle Event Hosted by Lala Wearing a Duckie Confetti Fur Vest and Litz Sequin Jeans + Just Go To the Party
Hey! I’m a busy bee. Yesterday, after a bunch of meetings, I decided to get glam and go to a ‘Hustle’ party, sponsored by Ciroc and hosted by Lala Anthony. The night celebrated Lala’s Hustle, and I must admit, she has an impressive resume! She went from being an intern at a radio station, to a VJ, host, mother, wife, author, actress, entrepreneur, and all around star. Lala’s hustle is real; I can’t help but respect her grind! Fittingly, the…
This Guy Made me Smile: Wearing a Gray Sweater Dress from Nobody Jones Boutique, a Rick Owens Jacket, and Gianvito Rossi Boots
So this is what I wore to get my facial at the Red Door Spa, which is located on 5th Avenue in midtown. My appointment was on a Saturday, which means lots of crowds and tourists. Cue this cheesing, blue jacket sporting photo bomber: This photo will probably always make me laugh. Life can be difficult. People will TRY YOU (today, Lord, please help me!!). But in the end, keep it light. Smile big. Life doesn’t always have to be…
