I get lots of e-mails from fashion industry hopefuls, and I respond to a lot of them! Instead of just letting them populate my inbox, I will share a few as part of Ask Claire; names and details will be changed to protect their identity!

Claire’s Picks: 5 Things I’m Loving Right Now; Kilian’s Good Girl Gone Bad, Huawei Watches, and Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream!
Sorry for the lack of update yesterday! I will get it together. Today, I wanted to share 5 things I’m Loving right now. Nothing here is sponsored, it’s just coming straight from the heart:) Let’s go: 1. Kilian’s Good Girl Gone Bad Fragrance: I’m not much of a perfume girl!

Long story short, I REALLY wanted to secure this one panelist for Cocktails with Claire x Miss Diddy Chicago. Prayed on it, told everyone about it. And just like that, her publicist dashed all hopes of an appearance with a curt, emotionless e-mail, which didn’t seem…

TGIF, folks! A few weeks ago, I was invited to attend a luncheon for Huawei watches, hosted by Project Runway judge and Marie Claire Creative Director Nina Garcia.

Bloggers, stylists, and influencers gathered at the Gramercy Park Hotel to eat lunch, talk fashion, and learn more about Huawei watches. Huawei might not…
