On the Scene: Cocktails with Claire Paris at O Chateau Featuring Sophy Aiida and Bonang Matheba

Cocktails with Claire has gone international! We first started with Lagos, Nigeria, then hopped over to London. Our latest stop was in beautiful Paris. Paris has a special place in my heart. As you all may know, I lived in Paris from 2008-2010. I came with little money and few contacts, and had a tough time! But with all things difficult, it made me stronger, and I was overjoyed to share my journey with everyone who came! Bombers and Bombshells…

The Bomb Life Where to Eat in Paris Guide: 10 Chi Chi Poo Poo Bad and Bougie Restaurants and Bars You Must Visit

Happy Monday! I am *finally* headed back home to the USA after almost 3 weeks of European fun. I am one suitcase and probably a few pounds heavier because the shopping and the food are so fab in Paris! Though I’ve compiled a list of great spots in the past (read here), I’ve uncovered even more, only for the supremely fabulous moments you might want to splurge on yourself in Paris.

Fashion Week Epiphany: The Essence of Luxury Fashion Is to Keep The Masses Out

I recently came to a realization during my trip to Paris as it pertains to luxury fashion. It’s no surprise that Fashion Bomb Daily has never had a seat at the table when it comes to high end designers and runway shows. Not even standing room, y’all. Sure, we can write about these brands until our wrists hurt; we can love and consume high end designers until our bank accounts beg for mercy. But it is rare that those brands…

Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Estelle Domlan aka @TheGlamstel, the head of PR for Benefit Cosmetics and a Fashion Bomb Daily reader! After chatting, she was gracious enough to invite me to a decadent lunch at Hotel Costes, one of the most luxurious hotels and lunch locations in Paris.

The Bomb Life 101: Where You Are is Only Temporary; Reflections on Paris Wearing Abigail Griswold

So I’m in Paris! I’ve been so entrenched with writing my new book, that I haven’t given any energy to The Bomb Life! But today is a new day! Here we go. Today, I set out towards the Musee des Art Decoratifs to see the Dior exhibit (paging all fashion nerds!). When I arrived, I discovered the exhibit was closed on Mondays…so took a turn, and walked towards a more familiar stomping ground, Rue St. Honoré. I used to walk…

Parisians are Conservative: Day 1 à Paris Wearing an Alexander Mcqueen Sweater Dress and Givenchy Boots

On my first day in Paris, I met up with some friends for brunch, then we walked to the Marais for even more revelry. For the day, I kept my look ‘simple’ in a sequin addled Mcqueen sweater dress and Givenchy boots. I honestly had forgotten how conservative Parisians are. Yes, they are well dressed. I saw so many ladies slaying the streets today! But it’s about subtlety: neutrals like all black and all gray. The statement bag. Simple but…
