So I just got back from the British Virgin Islands, and wow: I had a wonderful time!

I headed down there for their Summer Sizzle fashion show, an annual display of international and local design talent. I actually co-hosted the show alongside lifestyle specialist Kenny Burns; Taraji P. Henson along with celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff were in the building to lend their talents to the festivities.

I brought Fashion Bomb photographer Karl Pierre along with me, so we have *tons* of pix from the fashion show (the recap is coming soon!). Until then, just thought I’d share a few flix from our weekend trip.
Day 1:

We all stayed at Surf Song villas, a quiet resort on Beach Island’s Southern Shore. I was lucky enough to be placed in the pool house, so invited everyone over on day one for an afternoon of tanning, splashing, and good old fashioned fun.

For the day, I pulled out my ‘granny’ swimsuit: a skirted Calvin Klein creation I’ve had for at least 10 years. LOL.

On Day 2, Kenny and I headed to the venue for a run through for the show later that night.

After a quick trip to Cane Garden Bay with my college friends, we graced the stage at the U.P. Cineplex.

I kept my look comfy in Isabel Marant pants, a draped top, and my Brian Atwood studded sandals. Kenny was quite dapper himself in Gucci separates.

And finally, on Day 3, we truly kicked back on a chartered boat, which took us to the baths at Virgin Gorda, a place with large granite boulders protruding out of the water.

  14. Hi Claire.

    I just want to say, I admire what you do. As someone who’s BEEN following ‘fashionbomb’ for years I can see that you’ve come such a long way, and I have full faith that you’re not even close to done yet. Keep doing you! I’m a 21 year old currently studying journalism, and seeing intellectual women, like yourself, working so hard and making a name for themselves in media is so encouraging! So thank you, Miss, thank you.

    Regards
