A brand that is nowhere close to new on our radar, the sweatshirt and track pants come from the Spring/Summer 16 line. The cut is relaxed with the hoodie being slightly oversized and the hem of the track pants unevenly lining up. On both pieces can be found the Vetements logo brand.
Even though the price is definitely not for those on a budget, the leisure athletic wear look is not going anywhere. Might as well jump on board!
If you’re interested in buying the set, you can buy her hoodie here and the pants here.
I’m a big fan of large, printed clutches. My outfit doesn’t feel complete until I am able to throw my daily essentials into an oversized, stylish bag. Today’s Bomb Product of the Day comes from another Cocktails with Claire x Miss Diddy LA vendor. Meet Chic by Choice, designer of the $30 Oversized Clutch:
The wool blend, multi-colored, oversized, fold-over clutch has a zipper for closure. Retailed at just $30, you can purchase the striped khaki and olive bag as well!
Love the color scheme on both bags! You can purchase here.
What do you think? Would you rock this clutch?
Chic by Choice will be reppin’ their brand at the NYC installment of Cocktails with Claire x Miss Diddy LA. See you on Saturday, May 7th from 12-2pm for the ‘Breaking into Entertainment Brunch Panel.’ Join us in the evening from 5-9pm to sip, shop, mix and mingle with other fashion bombers and bombshells!

Today we’ve got an International Bombshell coming to the stage. I introduce Keren-Happuch from Birmingham, UK:
She said, “Hi My name is Keren-Happuch Shamiso Morutare and I live in Birmingham, UK.” “After months of procrastination I’ve decided to just got for it and I would love to be featured.”
“I’m a lifestyle blogger who mainly focuses on DIY hacks and interiors.”
“I would describe my style as very simple and minimalistic but also versatile, I don’t like to take myself too seriously when it comes to my style, I just dress depending on my mood.”
“Thank you for considering me. “
So pretty Keren-Happuch! I love how your looks border the timelessness look while also staying trendy. My favorite looks were your all-grey ensemble, green jacket, and your white flare pants and orange crop top ( I want!). If you guys want to keep up with Keren-Happuch, check her out on IG: @Keren_Happuch. What do you think of her style?

Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock high-stepped for a night out on the town in a $65 Missguided Ladder Mesh High Neck Sheer Black Jumpsuit, a berry lip and strappy black heels.

We’re gonna kick off today with some #BlackGirlMagic!
I’ve discovered that my city (hey Houston!) houses some amaaazzziinnggg talent! A Leap of Style is a brand that I’ve followed for quite some time and I quickly became a loyal fan. Founder and designer Karissa Lindsay is a sartorial visionary and her talent is simply unparalleled. With that, I’m honored to introduce The Bayou City’s own A Leap of Style‘s Spring & Summer 2016 Collection!
As an owner of a gorgeous skater dress from A Leap of Style, this post is somewhat personal. I can honestly say that this brand is perfect for the woman who wants to make a statement. If you’re a fashionista who loves whimsical prints and eccentric silhouettes, you’re in for a treat! The current collection is every bit of fun and carefree but there’s also an edgy, in-your-face vibe that comes across so effortlessly. It’s beyond stunning!
Surprisingly, there is also a mini-collection within SS16 called The Embellished Truths Collection. It is a 7 piece collection featuring pieces that reflect more of Karissa’s true design lens, but also feature some really special fabrics like the hot pink raw silk mini with a mirrored trim, or the Zola Tunic which is also a pink lace tunic embellished with 3D flowers, and there’s the star of the collection so far: the Birds of a Feather Shorts which are crafted from a jewel-toned silk brocade and have a ruffled hem.
Prices are pretty reasonable as well – with pieces ranging from $30 to $250. But, let me tell you, you certainly get a bang for your buck!

Following on last month’s installment of our Breaking Into Business series, we sat down with another trailblazing business leader, Myleik Teele, Founder and CEO of curlBOX, a subscription service for naturally curly hair. From starting in public relations to launching her own entrepreneurial venture, Myleik’s career journey thus far has been more than enviable — it has been truly encouraging and we were #blessed to hear her story.
Myleik grew up in Inglewood, California, and later graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Consumer and Family Science and a strong desire to pursue a job she “loved from the very beginning.” She revealed that “since graduating [from] college, [she] always had a job that [she] liked.” Her advice: “Go do what you like to do – you don’t have to sit and be miserable…you may not be able to make as much in the beginning, [but] what [you will] learn [will be] immeasurable.” Before curlBOX became a tour de force, one of Myleik’s earliest jobs was in public relations. She earned her stripes for over ten years in the space before launching her own boutique PR firm, Art of Facts Public Relations in Atlanta, Georgia in 2009.
curlBOX developed out of a need to bring the best in hair care to naturally curly bombshells everywhere! On a monthly basis, curlBOX sends subscribers a curated box of curly hair products straight to their doorsteps. I got a bit of scoop on the May curlBOX Body featuring cover star Taren Guy (on sale May 4th!), chock-full of spa essentials. Of course, with such admirable natural hair herself, I had to ask Myleik about what hair care products she is loving the most. Her “favorites vary by the week,” but the week of our interview, her bomb products included “Naturally Smitten, Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker 14 in 1, Ouidad Double Detangler, and anything OGX Beauty.”
In addition to launching a beauty business, Myleik is behind what I call a motivational movement: #MyTaughtYou. If you haven’t yet heard of the hashtag, it is a compilation of inspirational quips and lessons learned over the course of Myleik’s career. Her honest musings led her to create the #MyTaughtYou journal and a phenomenal podcast series in 2011 that “started with 11 listeners in a month and now [has] over 75,000 downloads a week!” With no intention to make money, she created the MyTaughtYou journal as it was “the exact journal [she] had used for 7 to 8 years” and she wanted to share her method to achieve personal and professional goals with others. She shared, “I am the ultimate consumer of content… I’ve loved magazines from my childhood. I want to put out what I see in my way, I’ve always believed I have something to say…it always blows my mind that people want to listen.”
Given her deep well of wisdom, I had to hear Myleik’s Top 5 positive habits:
“Always being a person of my word – I do what I say I am going to do. Do. It.”
“Being honest and trustworthy. That matters more than your ability in business.”
“Always show up on time – I always show up before time… people notice you when you show up on time, just as they notice when you are late.”
“Go above and beyond, [develop the] healthy habit to do more than what is asked of you.”
“Setting standards and being proud of my work; even if someone doesn’t like it, I know that I put forth my best.”
One look at Myleik’s Instagram account gives you all the inspirational feels. When asked about #blackgirlmagic, she offered, “For me, it means all the extra-special things about black women given the special circumstances we face every day – we face challenges with hair, body type, and facial features and we are still looking fabulous and beautiful. We are going to college at higher rates and starting businesses.” My final question for Myleik, what would she do with $20 on a Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia? Her answer: “I’m going to The Sole Spa in Buckhead for a foot massage. I walk out feeling like heaven!” If you want to learn more about curlBOX, check it out here and follow @curlBOX and Myleik on Instagram!
