Hey! So one of the benefits of going to Caribbean Fashion Weeks (aside from the sun, pool time, and sand) is discovering new designers! I certainly have found a favorite in Charu Lochan Dass: Her latest collection features a bevy of fluttering dresses that move in the wind. Because they’re sheer, they work best as swim cover ups. In addition to tantalizing white pieces, she has a slew of dressier options, many teaming with embellishments. I tried on this sequined…
So Pierre and I are shooting it up in TNT! For a day of fashion shows, I slipped on a Mother London Amor Embellished Shirt, my new Iro Studded Denim Skirt, and Iylia Collection Killian Sandals: Buyer beware with the Iro Studded skirt! I paid a pretty penny for it, and a good amount of the studs have fallen out. Not sure if my skirt is defective or if the skirt is just like that. At any rate, it’s something…
With a bit of trepidation, and with some encouragement from my photographer, Pierre, I posted pix of me in a bikini on FashionBombDaily.com. Yep, that’s me in an Andrea Iyamah Kandu swimsuit and a beach cape I am 100% obsessed with. We all need to wear a swimsuit to the beach, so why not make it fabulous? Though I was feeling good about myself, I’m not gonna look at the comments on this one. People have already written in talking…
Happy Sunday! On Friday, I landed in Trinidad and Tobago for their Fashion Week! I’ve already sampled loads of Bake & Shark and Puncheon, and have been taking in the sites and sounds! So I figured Najah’s question was apropos for the next Ask Claire Feature! She types, “Obviously for your job you do a great deal of traveling. How do you prepare for each trip mentally & physically? “ Well, Najah, there really isn’t much preparation! I have my…
So I’ll still have my regular Style Diaries, in addition to my Ask Claire column! A few nights ago, I was on the host committee for a party for Common at Madiba in Harlem. Sadly, the event was highly disorganized. It started late, and Common wasn’t even there! Though artist Kehinde Wiley did pop by (I want him to paint me one day!). I said hey to Uptown Magazine EIC, Isoul Harris. Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Cynthia Bailey, also…
Alright, guys! So The Bomb Life is taking a new turn. As I mentioned here, I’m initiating a new Ask Claire section, and I’ll most likely have Ask Claire make up the majority of the posts moving forward! I kinda sorta like Outfit Posts, but it’s not really ‘me’, n’a mean? So I’ll just intersperse images of my most recent outfits in betwixt interesting, elucidating advice. Sound good? Our first Ask Claire question comes from Suzie, who types, “I am…
