  3. I don’t think those are Lita’s either, she’s adorable though. What does “give me pause” mean?

  5. Claire, you are funnnnny! Strike-through on the Lita’s ….lol I like her style..she is eye-catching

  6. ‘Give me pause’ is an idiom which means caused someone to hesitate. It’s a nice way to say she went hmmm with that outfit.

  7. This style may require a bit more finessing. I don’t like any of it. Sorry.

  9. Those definitely are not Lita’s, but they are cute, I like the color. There are a few other pieces that stood out, the red pumps, weaved bag, red bag, and green coat with the fur trim. Other than that, I think it’s alright

  10. LOL..no they are not Lita’s and i never mentioned that they were.Payed $40 for them…{Fake it til u make it,lol}

  11. If she love it, then I have nothing to say, however, the blue booties and sheer knee highs made me temporarily stop everything I was doing…not sure about what’s going on there *shrugs*

    Pretty girl though :)

  12. i wish the pictures were of a higher quality. some looks are decent, others are questionable. but as long as she enjoys her looks, that is all that matters.

  13. Not at all. The best look was the white blouse and jeans. But who doesn’t have that in their wardrobe.

  14. The bodycon and wicker bag…she’s going to a club or picnic? And color blocking with the red shoes? Colorblocking needs to have some rules of conduct.

  16. That’s unfortunate Dion…maybe u should do something about that huh? Instead of saying it on FBD.

  18. Aww. I really like her looks! Yes, the wicker bag + bodycon dress is off, but I like the other looks. I LOVE those leopard(?) shorts, and I kind of think that outfit (even with the blue booties) totally works. I also love that dalmation skirt with the black top and the high bun.

    Also, you’re a gorgeous girl! Work it!

  20. I dont think it was very tasteful to strike out “JC litas” sorry thats just my opinion…..and who cares if their fake or not? Some people dont have 200 plus to spend on shoes…..with tht being said some of her looks are hits and miss….I do adore the last ensemble…..

  21. 50/50. Most of the looks had a piece or two that I liked. I liked the green coat but nothing made me think “nice”. She could use a little polishing.

  22. Lawwwd. I just spit out water @ ” she’s going to a club or a picnic” dead. She’s pretty though :)

  23. I don’t think she ever said they were meant to be Litas. Designers always copy off of each other. Maybe noone should wear Jessica Simpson, Jeffrey Campbell, Steve Madden etc etc because they always have shoes that look very similiar to bigger name brands.
    I like the last outfit. Looks effortless.

  24. cute girl. bad outfits. the last outfit is okay though. these looks are just not cohesive. especially the bodycon dress and straw bag? #umokwhat ??

  25. Wait why was I on the floor when I saw @ Dion comment about her hating her body…soooooooooo funny and then @A-Danielle killed her…lmbo…ok back to the bombshell..I think she’s pretty and her style is ok…

  26. Pretty girl, nice figure. Agree though, could use a little more refinement in each of her looks. My favorite look is the last.

  27. I enjoy putting anything together as i said and guess a short dress means going to a club and a straw bag is only for picnics…

  28. I totally agree, everyone doesn’t have the money to spend on shoes, fashion really has less to do with labels and more to do with individuality. Jeffrey Campbell or not she’s cute and you can tell she has a lot potential, but nothing made me swoon. But the black/white with high bun was hot, and the leopard skirt with the blue platforms were cute sans the knee socks… She’s ok no need to be rude though. Y’all are so harsh, for no reason at all.

  30. Litas..Schmitas..who gives a damn..only GIRLS care if they are Jeffrey Campbell’s…grown ass WOMEN care about more important things rather than if you have on real JC’s.. Get your life..

    off to pay my car note..

  31. She does have potential to be a Bomb! It’s like she gets the right pieces but mixes them up wrong. I love how clean cut she looks.

  32. For the record, I didn’t strike out Litas to throw shade. I initially thought they were Litas, but the 1st comment said they weren’t. Instead of totally delete what I initially wrote (and have tons of comments afterward like, ‘where did she mention Litas?!?’), I put a line through it and corrected myself with ‘blue booties.’ No tea, no shade. Carry on!

  33. “color blocking should have rules of conduct” I literally rolled on the floor laughing. Smh. Well, I think there’s room for growth. There are some hits and some misses. Shes pretty tho. And no shade at Ramona but I think those JC Lita’s or any shoe that looks like it are the ugliest shoes on Gods green earth…right after white shoes.

  34. Love your specs most. Cute stuff…nothing we havent seen before. Pretty girl!

    Im surprised by all the catty comments… must be free day @ the free internet cafe…

  35. Shady times we are living in…. Sometimes I wonder what the readers (especially the ones who tend to get crazy nasty and judgmental) look like….

  38. Cute Style but I agree it’s been done before but I wouldn’t stop the fashion bombs!

  41. Claire it was definitely shade! You really couldn’t delete 7 letters. It was easier to highlight the JC Lita and change the font color then select strikethrough and then add “blue booties”….Girl getcho life.
    If you would left your “no shade” comment out then I wouldn’t have had anything to say. You’re doing the most with that innocent act boo…reminds me of “your neck of the woods” comment. but again no shade right?

  42. I see where she was trying to go, but we didnt quite get there. But the comments some of you post are HILARIOUS!

  43. I have never seen so many posts on one of these posts. Y’all seriously had me rolling! I don’t hate her style, I think she is young and beautiful and will only get better with age.

  45. i feel like sometimes you all talk to Claire like you know her? as in you know her personally. Maybe you do LA but i feel like you sound way too familiar with her, geez it is her site. no i do not know her either but you sound almost…rude and mean.
    or maybe you are friends with Remona so are taking up for what you feel was “shade” Claire was “throwing” but…u went in on her too! lol. but alas, this is your right.

    *lost*

    As for Remona, I havent yet formed an opinion but your smile is dazzling so i shall say Congrats on being chosen! since i feel its weird to not say anything bout ya in “your section” :)

    cheers ladies.

  46. Lita’s or not who cares. There are plenty of dupes out there in place of label $hit that we buy all the time. Go Remona leave it to them to buy label stuff they cant afford then lights are off the next day.

  47. Not crazy about her looks. Some hits and some misses. Kinda expected to see more. Her mom is a great seamstress.

  48. I can’t with these grainy cellphone pics. Claire, you need some photo regulations for bombs and bombshells. Also, she is too posy. Be yourself ma.

  50. I’m not a fan. Looks like she just threw some stuff together. I do like the outside shot of the glasses n coat, but thumbdown on shoes. Fashion on an extreeeeeeeeeme budget is a doozie.

  53. She has a few nice pieces and I agree that she has potential. The overdone weave looks throw it off for me. Its hard to look chic with an excess of horse hair in my opinion (especially if it isn’t a top notch weave). Ladies- weave isn’t the only way to be pretty/sexy/fly. In fact, it often cheapens your look.

  54. HM lets see since I work in Mt. vernon and my man lives here im here way too often and I unfortunately get to see the “fashions” here so for her to look half way decent not have on a raggedy weave and clothes that look like they came straight from 4th ave (she knows what I’m talkin about” I have to give her some type of mmm cant really find the word I’m looking for BUT i wil say this I really like the 1st look simple/on trend/ not trying too too hard is what its saying to me yes the rest are a little over done but shes young like she stated she’ll be iight ….not touching the “JC Litas” subject. The end !!

  56. gzzz some people really need to get over themselves. ok maybe the shoes are not of “JCL” but if you are a true fashionista then you know that labels and price tags have nothing to do with fashion. Affordability is key. … As for the “ignorant” comments made against Claire… keep it to yourself, mistakes are a part of life… as for Remona, great individual pieces, I love the simplicity of the white shirt : sooo Spring 2012!

  57. I am so over this look. Ugh. Everyone keeps trying to do the same thing over and over and over …. What happened to originality? I think I can respect someone more for being simple and chic rather than this. No offense to her, but it’s played.

  58. Fake Jeffrey Campbell’s! that’s a no-no. But whatever floats your boat.

  60. WHO GIVES A F IF THEY ARE REAL JEFF CAMP. SHOES OR NO? THAT NO WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS SECTION OF THE BLOG, EITHER YOU LIKE HER STYLE OR NO WHAT UP WITH THE UNNECESSARY RUDE ASS COMMENTS? THERE IS A THIN LINE BETWEEN CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS AND NASTY COMMENTS AND SOME OF YOU GUYS NEED SERIOUS HELP ,CLEARLY NOT EVERY CAN AFFORD 200 SHOES THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY JUST WEAR ONE TIME

  61. REMONA GIRL DO YOU! F THE HATERS THERE 2 MANY SHIT TALKERS ON HERE

  62. I am not enamored with the clothes, but she is really goregous with a great figure so she pulls most of it off. I think she would ditch the knee highs though. It doesn’t work.

  63. I’m mad folks are shading this girl for having fake Litas when Litas themselves are fake Charles Anastase dungeon boots. Let this girl cook!

    She’s adorable and isn’t what I see on the street everyday. I wouldn’t wear everything she would, but… you know…that whole ‘style is personal’ thing…

  64. A bunch of average pay broads clocking labels….highest end label you possess is a outlet Coach bag …..let’s do this……send in your photos…..regardless of your style I can GUARENTEE that at least ONE of your pieces will be inspired by a high end piece…that’s how this thing works!!!!! Why are trying to shade this child for something she never claimed??? You don’t like her style ? Ok…but yall doing to much. Keep it about fashion and style…..leave the shade under your lace front wigs!
