This morning, I raced to pack my bags and rush off to Newark for a flight to Baltimore for the National Urban League Conference. Pierre and I were invited to attend and cover street style; I’m also speaking on a panel! At any rate, I was running behind, and I was only a few minutes away from the airport (though it was looking doubtful, I was probably going to miss it!). As I approached departures, I got a call from…
I was thinking long and hard about how I was going to recap Cocktails with Claire x Miss Diddy LA Chicago for TheBombLife.com. Of course on Fashion Bomb Daily, I recounted who was there, what we did, and uploaded 70+ pix! But it doesn’t quite capture how special the event was to me! To say I was doubtful about Chicago would be an understatement. The Monday prior to the event, we only had 40 RSVPs for a cavernous venue. Because…
I type this as I sit in Washington Reagan airport after a day full of delays, weather woes, and gross inconveniences. Due to severe storms, flights yesterday were delayed or completely canceled (like mine), leaving me to scramble to make it to panels, and now Cocktails with Claire. GOD is good, and I skidded into D.C. just in time to make the event, and GOD willing, I will make it to Chicago today! But I began to think about best…

A handful of Bombshells gathered at the cute store. My boyfriend at the time bought a handle of vodka and made drinks himself. I got my makeup done at the MAC counter at Beverly Center. I found somewhere to do my hair, but the front didn’t dry, so the front…
I get letters from young people all the time, asking for tips on Breaking into Fashion and getting ahead in the industry. Many fashion hopefuls believe that the industry is all about glamour, nice shoes, Fashion Weeks, and preening for photographers, not realizing the tremendous amount of work the people you admire put into honing their craft. Most people in fashion won’t tell you the ‘secret’ and to be honest, most of you won’t listen. But consider this my gift…
Hey Bomb Lifers! Last night I was juiced to be invited to Fantasia’s The Definition Of…Album release party. I actually had the choice between going to a Nas event (raise your hand if you love Nasty Nas?!?), and Fantasia, but I figured…I’ve met Nas once before and I LOVE Fanny! She can sing, you can tell she’s so sweet, and I love it when she kicks off her shoes during her performances! I literally get the spirit watching her! Makes…
