I do photo shoots all the time. ALL THE TIME. But today’s shoot for my book cover has me feeling butterflies. When I spoke with my book coach, Tony Gaskins, we explored different options for a cover design. At first I wasn’t going to have my face on the cover (sometimes if you want your book to appeal to a crossover audience, you leave your mug off the front). But when I received the draft below, I felt something was…
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was scheduled to give a presentation in front of my 4th grade class before Spring Break. All fifteen kids were assigned days and time slots. I saw my name on that big calendar and gulped hard. I proceeded to dread and get severe anxiety for every day leading up to my presentation. I had nightmares about it. I wanted school to blow up or to have a fire alarm so I could…
Happy Thursday! So yesterday, Fashion Bomb Daily staff writer surprised me with one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received: a customized ‘Claire’ doll from Haus of Swag! The mini blonde haired Bombshell sports a Fashion Bomb Daily tee, fringed skirt, sky high Christian Louboutin heels, a Chanel bag, and a laptop! It was love at first sight (you can see my roller coaster of emotions on Snapchat and on Instagram stories @ClaireSulmers). aus of Swag creates custom dolls with…
So I have quite a few Lagos posts to upload (just two or three more!). While in Naija, I decided to throw an impromptu Cocktails with Claire at the Bridge, a bar and restaurant located at 8 Wole Olateju Street in Lekki Phase 1. Lots of familiar faces popped by, including Zina Anumudu, Jennifer Obayuwana, Efe Tommy, Taje Prest, and of course the Bridge owner Tola Odunsi. We sipped Moet all night long, listened to tunes, and had a good…
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I just touched down back in NYC from Lagos, and let me tell you: it was a whirlwind trip! Because I was only there for a few days, I tried to pack in as much fun, fashion, and fabulosity as I could. It seems almost overwhelming to write down all I did (and I’m drowning in emails, guys), but as with everything: you start at the beginning, and at the end, stop. I have about an hour…
So I’m in Lagos for GT Bank Fashion Weekend! Yesterday, I popped by the Bridge, a fun lounge, bar, and restaurant located in Lekki 1 (8 Wole Olateju street off Admiralty). After being blown away by the delicious food, drinks, and decor, I spoke to the owner, Tola Odunsi, who suggested I invite Fashion Bomb readers over for drinks. To which I said: Absolutely! Join me tonight for cocktails and copious coups of champagne. Now, what do I wear…? Images:…
