Hey! So Legendary Damon, Ty Hunter, and I had yet another No Basics brunch this past Saturday! I proposed Versace last time, and this time, Damon suggested we wear Moschino! And while I contemplated getting a Barbie Doll or Teddy Bear adorned outfit for two seconds, I figured I’d get more bang for my buck by wearing leather with gold accents (similar to Moschino’s Fall 2014 collection. See a few inspirations below). See where I was going? At any rate,…
Claire’s Life: Meeting with South African Designer David Tlale Wearing Ife’s Closet, Topshop, and Dior Pantos Sunglasses

With swimsuits, I’ve learned what silhouettes I can werk and what poses I can strike to hide my flaws. I’m self conscious about my tummy and have the beginnings of love handles, so I slip on a high waisted bikini and also pose with my hands right in the side…
Hey Guys! So it’s no surprise that I shop…a lot. Some might say I have a shopping problem! While sometimes I’m gifted clothing (the dress below was courtesy of Just Enaj), I spend quite a bit on shoes, accessories, bags, you name it! I do pretty well as a blogger, but I’m not a millionaire. And it’s time to start seriously saving for the future. The good times won’t roll forever! So, at the request of my accountant, I’ve decided…
Ask Claire: How Do You Manage Work Life Balance As An Entrepreneur?
In this edition of Ask Claire, we have Marsha, who types, “How do you manage work-life balance as an entrepreneur?” I truly thought about this question as I was sunning by the pool in Trinidad and Tobago, and the simple answer is: work for me is play.
