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…

The Bomb Life Where to Go In Paris Guide: Hotel Costes

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. Hotel Costes is the place with the best people watching–you’re sure to spot a celeb, industry insider, or monied socialite indulging in the fine dining. Though getting a…

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…

Conversations and Cocktails with Claire is Coming to Paris on Saturday, September 30th!

It’s now become customary for me to have meet n greets wherever I go! I’m headed to Paris tonight, and will be in town for about 10 days. So I figured: Why not have a wine fueled fete? Set your calendars for Saturday, September 30th! The fun goes down from 7-9:30pm at O Chateau, located at 68, Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the 1st arrondissement (1 to Louvre Rivoli or 4 to Etienne Marcel). We’ll have wine, cheese, and signed copies…

The Bomb Life 101: Travel Far, Travel Wide Wearing One Piece’s Aviator Jumpsuit

A lot of people think I went to Harvard for grad school (I didn’t, I went to Harvard undergrad). I feel as if I got my graduate education, however, by living abroad. There is nothing easy about plopping yourself in a foreign country and culture with a language barrier to boot. I definitely felt that this morning when I was trying to get to Milan from Monza (long story–short story is I thought I booked a hotel in Milan because…
