Last night, Jones Magazine celebrated their 3rd annual Best in Beauty issue with a delicious dinner at Duo restaurant in NYC.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was super excited to break bread with Fashion Bomb friend Angela Simmons, songstress Estelle, party promoter Legendary Damon, reality stars Mashonda, Yandy, Raqui Thunda, journalists Constance White, Marcia, Cole, Lola Ogunnaike, and more.
Take a look at a few stylish close ups.
Estelle kept it cute and casual in a camouflage top and a leather pencil skirt.
Yandy Smith divulged that she was working hard on her blog/lifestyle site Everything Girls Love (have you checked it out?). She uplifted an all black look with jewels from her e-store and patchwork printed snakeskin Christian Louboutin Lady Daf Mary Janes.
She later jumped in a flick with Angela Simmons, who opted for Topshop for the night, and Mashonda, who looked stunning in a little red dress.
As for me…
I posed with journalist Lola Ogunnaike and Simply Dapper blogger Chris Findley in a RVN blue jacquard dress and Walter Steiger tadpole sandals.
It was a fun night!
Be sure to visit JonesMag.com for even more flicks and fashionable fun.

Forgot to get the scoop on Angela’s sandals, but can ask her!
Angela Simmons = Gorgeous!
I really love how you support other bloggers. And you ALWAYS look great in blue!
Btw: the url for Yandy’s blog appears to be misspelled. There is an extra ‘s’ at the end.
Angela Simmons looked stunning. However, ” Estelle kept it cute ” -_- and Yandi I need for you to burn that blouse or let consequence chew on it cuz child , never mind. Claire you looked beautiful darling and Mr. Chris findley was giving us major face yasss!
*Yandy
you and homeboy look reeeeallly good together. please let this be a thing…
Who is the woman in the sparkly blue dress? She is lovely!
Thank you so much Claire :)!
Lmao @Honeybrown with “or let consequence chew on it”!!
Claire,you have a beautiful bust.You should show it off sometimes.
Looks like a fun event! Love your dress!
It looks like fun and you look FAB Claire!
Estelle didn’t even try though, from the mop on her head to her ensemble. Boo this is Best in Beauty–do better!
Nice event! I saw Angela at Barney’s on Monday. She’s a cutie
@Honeybrown “…or let Consequence chew on it” lmao!! Too funny
Wow Claire how much do you work out? You look great. Love the make up and the dress.
Interesting comment about Claire’s bust. I think the high neck line that is in now (and that Claire is wearing) is tough for busty women. Not flattering. It makes us look matronly. I first noticed it when Kim K started wearing high neck lines and have also noticed on myself. I think showing at least a little declotage is more flattering. Don’t need to get excessive and cleavage-y, but a little collarbone looks better on we busty gals.
Angela definitely had the best look of the night. Cute!
Claire you look fantastic!
Lol @ let Consequence chew it. LOL
Claire you look gorg, Angela & Mashonda look nice.
Claire you look stunning!
Everyone looked beautiful and I just love Estelle’s nails
Looks like it was fun with good company. Claire you look radiant in this blue! You’re making me want to try this shade.
Claire, you’re face is beat! I’m definitely trying that electric blue( or green or whatever) on the lower lashline next time I go out.
Angela’s shoes are adorable!
I live and die for Estelle’s music, I wish I could do the same for her fashion. I just…can’t…
Can we get a better pic of your shoes?
Claire looks amay! The blue dress and makeup? YAAAAAS! #gorge
That picture with Chris… Claire werk!
Claire – You look stunning. Are you doing your own makeup for these events?

Claire always looks amazeballs. love everything. shoes, makeup, dress….yes!
i keep coming back to look at Claire’s shoes. faaaaaack! those are hot!
Where can I find Yandy’s shirt?
I’m sorry but Claire you took the night. You looked stunning & sad to say, put everyone else to shame. Just my opinion.

Fluo medium bag Tutte le donne che preferiscono borse dalle dimensioni medie, che siano adatte anche per occasioni serali, impazziranno per il modello a cartella in giallo fluo di Marc Jacobs o per la deliziosa borsetta arancio, con tracollina e patta frontale decorata da una rondine in metallo, firmata Marc By Marc Jacobs. Originale e spiritoso il modello in arancio e nero con tasche frontali e manico di Marc Jacobs. Se desiderate avere una borsa più elegante ma non volete rinunciare alla tendenza fluo, la vostra scelta potrebbe ricadere sulla Lady Dior in fucsia o sulla borsa gialla con tracolla in metallo di Lanvin o ancora sul classico modello in pelle goffrata di Miu Miu.
