Hey Hey!
So last night my homie Hyun invited me to an invite he co-hosted for tripod and camera accessories brand Manfrotto. I wasn’t familiar at all with Manfrotto, but knew Hyun was hip to all things cool, so decided to dip in with my photog friend Rasaan and see what was what. I was delightfully surprised by the amount of cool things to do–from taking pictures to posing in front of a drum set–and by the very chic crowd in attendance.
I did a double take when I spied Elle Magazine Style Director Kate Lanphear, and had to ask for a picture.
The trendsetter was sweet as pie, and looked chic with her signature bright platinum haircut. We traded compliments (I loved her studded jacket; she my Patricia Field spiked ring), and chatted fashion before she went on her way.
I also caught up with Bronx native Joy Bryant, who looked relaxed in a maxi skirt and army inspired jacket:
Joy and I actually talked for quite a while, trading stories about Paris (she got her start modeling there). Though she’s internet averse (she’s not on Twitter), my homie Sian-Pierre and I might have convinced her to start a Tumblr. At any rate, she’s super nice and gawjus in person.
It was a fun night!
Smootches!
*Shout out to Hyun for extending the invite…!
My outfit (if you care): Spring 2011 Zara Camouflage jacket (totes inspired by Rihanna at Coachella), white H&M v-neck tee , Guess Nicole Cigarette Jeans, YSL Downtown Tote, Stuart Weitzman Platswoon Pumps, Lia Sophia Hoops, Steven Shein Faux Real Necklace & Loose Spike Ring (both purchased at Patricia Field). Lipstick: MAC Film Noir + a coat of MAC Wrong Spell gloss.
*Thx to Rasaan for snapping pix!
Claire, you look beautiful!! Makeup look details please!!!
I love the look Claire! I need a camo jack (preferably one with a hoodie) in my life!
The event looked cool, but, Claire I love your style. It’s so NY! I need details on how you got your skin to glow like that. Can you do a post on your skin care regimen?
Looks like everyone was on their army inspired steez. Loves that metallic silver YSL bag.
You look beautiful Claire casual and fresh….
Looks like fun.
Manfrotto is a little too expensive for me, but good stuff nonetheless.
I like the outfit, I have the Zara camo skinnies and they have a lot of very cute things this spring, especially if you want color.
I love the camo and white outfit…I have camo in everything and am always looking for new piece and ways to wear…very nice.
I absolutely love that lipstick on you claire! Great look…
I love Kate Lanphear! She has a very nice semi- androgynous style
GREAT to see Rasaan mentioned in this blog! He is a college friend of mine! Small World, and even smaller in the world of Fashion :-)
I love camo w/everything! I have jacket very similar to yours, its army green from UO, You look great btw……
I am in love with your lipstick! YOU look gorgeous!
Claire, you look gawjus! What’s the lipstick you’re wearing? Where are the white jeans from as well? Thanks!
Heyyyy y’all! You are super nice to me, thanks. All the deets on my makeup + outfit are at the bottom of the post. On my face? Some Mac liquid foundation + blot powder and blush in Raisin. The lipstick is Film Noir. And my jeans are Guess! They were $66 on sale from Lord & Taylor. They have the old school triangle on the pocket (I’m trying to bring ’em back)!
