Hey!
So yesterday morning I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Wendy Williams Show!

Wendy typically talks to bloggers and other members of the press as part of her ‘Aftershow,’ and I was granted the wonderful opportunity to chat with the media maven about her favorite stores, shoe brands for women with larger feet, and her experience playing ‘Gail’ in Think Like a Man.
Take a look:

How did I do?
Afterwards I snapped a quick pic with Wendy:

Then hightailed it home to get back to blogging!

For the occasion, I embraced prints in a Kenzo graphic print dress offset by Alexander Wang Joan Pumps:



It was a little chilly, so I threw my old trusty Diesel jean jacket over my shoulders.

I accessorized my ensemble with a Jenny Dayco pyramid ring, bangles, and a Noir Rose Gold Claw ring.

And put my Iphone and wallet in a neon accented Cooperative Mixed Media bag:

And there you have it.
What do you think?

Wendy Williams’s show is so much fun! I’d highly encourage you all to pop by if you ever find yourself in New York city. The show tapes pretty early, but it’s a party from start to finish. See about tickets at www.wendyshow.com.
Smootches!

Somehow I knew the dress would work!

  1. Claire, you did so great girl! And you would be very good for tv. I also liked that Wendy was real- telling you that it’s a hard hustle. I also felt that she was a little rushy with you. I know she has ten thousand things on her plate, but damn! You looked so fierce, I loved you outfit, very lovely dress

  2. You did very well, and I know I’ve said this a thousand times (not really), but I love your voice!!!! You would be great on TV, maybe you should do an internet show like TMIWeekly used to do-loved the girls on that show. Nice dress, although I’m not a fan of those shoes *just sayin*.

  3. I LOVE LOVE the dres.. Going to that site next. Not really feeling the shoes with the dress though. Thinking maybe some wedges would’ve worked best with it.

  4. I love you Claire but you seemed a smidge nervous..kind of like you were being interviewed instead of the reverse. We know you’re a fierce but I don’t think it shined through as much here.

  5. Great job Claire, love the dress, you look great but death to those white shoes…tsk tsk you know better (lol).

  6. Yesss Claire. Please keep heading in this direction. I see you piling it on. <3 Love your inspiration and the result.

  7. Came back to add that your Wang’s are doing the damn thing! Dont let them talk you out of them!

  8. What an opportunity! You did a great job! I’ve been to her show, you’re right, it’s lots of fun.

  9. I am an intern at the WW show and I was beyond excited when I saw you. I got to see two woman that inspire me right in the same building. YOU looked stunning!!! Keep up the good work!!

  10. Great dress…do not like the shoes at all! Love the blog Claire, am a big fan. As someone else commented, I think you did appear a little nervous and not as spirited as I might have imagined you to be. Anyhoo, onward and upward!

  11. Wendell Williams is too damn messy. She breeds nothing but negative energy and is an expert at the mediatakeout-style journalism. No bueno but Claire looks nice as always. Cheers!

  12. Wonderful job Claire. I commend you 100% for all that you do. The dress? Fierce! The Wangs? Bang-ing! (despite it being blanco). The accessories? Fiyah! And though you did sound just a tad nervous (I’m sure that Ms. Wendy dearest may be a bit intimidating), all in all you did your thing. For each new venture, each new feature, please know that you have inspired me to do what I want to do (even with the non-creative 9-5). You have done it and are still doing it. The best, I’m sure , is yet to come. Bravo!!!

  13. Hey Hey! Thanks for the input and the support!
    I probably was nervous, Wendy is slightly intimidating, but she’s a doll.
    Duly noted about the shoes (though I love them so!). When I wear the dress again (which I will), will try it with a wedge. xoxo

  14. You did a good job Claire! — but don’t forget the best accessory is confidence! I know you were probably on pins and needles about this opportunity and I wish Wendy wasn’t so rushy with you as well which could be very intimidating. All in all kudos to having the guts to perform such and interview and I think your outfit was fab, white shoes and all..

  15. You look GREAT!!! I love the print of this dress! You handled Wendy really well! Love her to death, but she’s a tough cookie sometimes (ie,a bit business-like and brusque at times), but you were confident and poised!

  16. I jus want you to know that you are so rude for wearing that dress. I looooves me some Kenzo. Yay for more FashionBomb TV!

  17. You looked amazing except for the shoes. I don’t hate all white shoes but those are just not the business. Other than that – faboosh!!

  18. Love it, Claire, you look chic. This is a fashion editor look, some ’round the way’ girls just won’t get it.

  19. You look cute Claire, great interview. Keep us updated with Wendy’s shoe line. Wendy seems so fun

  20. CLAIRE CLAIRE ! i saw you on the aftershow and you did well but you seemed a bit nervous, a lil work on your interview skills and questions and you will be faaaaaabulous #blackgirlsdooooinit! i had no idea you were so young! KEEP UP THE HARD WORK GIRL!

  21. Great interviewing skills. Even when she was taking off lashes, and makeup. You made official eye contact and kept smiling instead of laughing. lol Amazing job! ….and you looked great.
