Happy Tuesday, folks! I just got back from Martha’s Vineyard, and let me tell you: a time was had. From yacht rides to late night parties at Noman’s, MV is a place you go to kick back and let your hair down (while doing a little networking and werk on the side). Martha’s Vineyard has long been a summer haven for Black excellence and one of the country’s most enduring destinations for African American homeownership and generational wealth. In the…
Claire Life: Kicking Off MVAAFF With the C Suite Luncheon Featuring Phylicia Rashad, Letoya Luckett, and More!
Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival is officially underway, and I kicked things off in the best way possible: at the C-Suite Luncheon, celebrating legacy and joy in a room full of extraordinary women. The guest list read like a who’s who of women doing the work, including LeToya Luckett, LaToya S. Evans, Megan Bailey, Joy-Ann Reid, and more. Guests were treated to the wisdom of the incomparable Phylicia Rashad, who spoke on the importance of staying enthusiastic about art…
Back in LA: Wearing Nyrva Leather Camouflage Shorts, DSquared2 and a Flore K NY Bag to Kendra G’s Dating Download Screening!
So I’m back in La La Land! People hate on LA, but I love it. Blame the sunshine. I love waking up to the sunrise. Nature hikes. Healthy foods at Erewhon. Being a short drive from the beach. Great food. And really nice people. I love LA! I’m just not here enough. But I certainly feel blessed to be booked and busy always. Anyway, the other day, my girl Kendra G invited me to a private viewing of her new…
Back for a New York Minute! The End of my Public Storage Unit + Shop my Poshmark!
So it’s official: I am moving out of my storage unit at Public Storage, and downsizing to something smaller. Ever since I moved to LA 3 years ago, I have been paying to store a bunch of items I honestly don’t wear or have use for anymore. Public Storage keeps increasing the prices arbitrarily and after this last rent increase I told myself: It’s time to let it all go. For the past week, I’ve been adding mystery boxes to…
Claire’s Life: Au Revoir Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week! Reflections on 20 Years Wearing Miss Circle, Christian Louboutin, Cartier and Hermes
Today is sadly my last day in Paris. For now. In just a few hours I’ll be headed back on a long flight back to the States, my oversized luggage in tow. After 20 years of Fashion Bomb Daily, every event feels more significant. As I was sitting in the Manish Malhotra show, looking around at the grand settings, I felt a tremendous sense of gratitude. Because of your support of my little blog, I am able to enter rooms…
Claire’s Life: Paris Haute Couture Day 2 Wearing Alaia, Louboutin, and Flore K NY Croc
So I REALLY slept in today and now I’m rushing! In my mind I have all the time in the world. Anyway. Yesterday, I bet on black to attend the Aziz, Stephane Rolland, and Georges Chakra shows. I unfortunately missed a show I was invited last minute to a show that started 30 minutes prior. But anyway, I was thrilled to meet the designer Georges Chakra and take a photo with him. The Chakra show was held in the building…
