So I’m off to London this evening!

For my last day of shows in NYC, I decided to go for downtown cool, so slipped into a floor sweeping black dress by Acne and a leather and wool biker tail coat by Rag & Bone.

I pulled on my DSquared Raso Boots again…

… and completed with a pair of Grey Ant status shades from Shop Akira.

I filmed a little ditty for Fashion Bomb TV (that was left on the cutting room floor!!!)

Then was off.

I tend to go for shorter hemlines, but I was kinda digging this look.
Are you?
Stay tuned for more style diaries and street style from London Fashion Week!

Ms. Claire, I have been following your site for a few months and have noticed the black purse that are carrying. Who makes it and where can a sista purchase it? btw, you are always fierce. Thank you for representing beautiful, black woman.

February 16, 2013 7:27 pm
Claire, You are killing it on so many fronts…the shades, the makeup, the shoes, the hair…but I don’t think the dress and the jacket go together. They’re both a lot of look even though they’re great pieces individually. Still, you give us a lot of great ideas with your look and I love it that you’re taking risks!
February 16, 2013 9:57 pm
Badass!!! Love teh whole look! I love your transformation Claire …very FASHION BOMB!!!
