Hey Bombshells!
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the book launch party for my friend Demetria Lucas aka A Belle in Brooklyn. The award winning writer and relationships editor for Essence Magazine penned a sassy tome called, “A Belle in Brooklyn: The Go-To Girl for Advice on Living Your Best Single Life”. The blockbuster book drops today, so Demetria welcomed lots of industry insiders and friends to a penthouse to enjoy Belle cupcakes and drinks by X-rated Fusion Liqueur.
Take a look at a few snaps:
The fabulous Bevy Smith was in the building, and delivered a speech during the festivities.
Friends Michelle, Arlene, and Kai came out to support.
Gardy and Calcie were amongst the many men in attendance.
A fan holds a Belle-tini and a signed book.
Of course I snapped a few pix!

Speaking of Belle, check out her outfit!
She was blinging in an optic white dress from ASOS, sparkly heels, and diamond bangles.

Hey I remember Briana from Harlem Heights! Seems like a lovely event.
Thinking about going to Belle’s event tomorrow in Harlem! I love your necklace, Claire!
I was JUST about 2 ask about that bag..To.Die.For.
this post makes me want to hide myself and my B-cups under a rock or something….i never wanted cleavage so baaad! everybody looks gorgeous and sexy!
The Belle is wearing my Aqua dress! Its looks good in white..wishing I got that color instead….
I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way (because I mean no malice), but I don’t think your hair does you justice Claire.
@Brittany No offense taken. How would you suggest I switch it up?
Great pics and I love your handbag. Also your hair looks fine. I think people always find something to grip about.
Belle’s hair is always on point! Claire those soft colors are looking good on you!! And I love the way your hair looks in the pic w/ you and your crackberry ;0)
Claire I was just gonna Mail Bomb you about your amazing look… You must have known, and went ahead and added it!
You are stunning!
@ Claire; You look BEAUTIFUL woman! I just <3 everything. Especially the necklace. Coudl you make a post on this please?
Looking good Claire. I love your style-well, obviously!
everybody looks great and the party looks fun
@Claire. You know I’m not quite sure. When I was looking at the photos, I just kept thinking you’d look great with more volume and movement in your hair. Anyhow, don’t mind me. You looked chic as always :)
Everyone looks nice and Claire that jacket and that bag are fierce!
You’ve def. upped your style game. Love.
fabulous. i love when folk take responsibility for their lives and create opportunities for themselves while lead them to attain goals. I could use some of that thinking power! Looking hot Claire :)
