Claire’s Life: Day 1 in Lagos, Nigeria with DZRPT Fashion in Eve & Tribe + Arik Air Lost My Bag

claire sulmers fashion bomb daily 2 Claire's Life- Day 1 in Lagos, Nigeria with DZRPT Fashion in Eve & Tribe + Arik Air Lost My Bag

So I’m in Lagos, Nigeria!!
The kind folks at DZRPT Fashion brought Pierre and I over to visit boutiques, fabric markets, and learn more about the Nigerian Fashion Industry!
We flew in yesterday on Arik Air, and they lost my bag. They still haven’t found it. I want to cry.

Thankfully my girl Kanayo is in town, and has been finding me clothes to wear until Arik locates my rogue suitcase. For a night out, I wore a printed set by Eve & Tribe, a Nigerian brand with affordable separates. Some neon fuzzy sandals, and I was good to go!

I’m currently recovering from a night of too much champagne (!), but once I get rested again, I’ll be updating this site and TheBombLife.com with pix of my stylish Nigerian finds. I can’t wait!

So far, so great, however (minus the bag situation). Everyone is really welcoming, and the food is banging (I already love Joloff rice and peppered snails).
Stay tuned for more from Lasgidi!

*Thanks to Kunbi, Kanayo, and the folks at Shop Meidei for the threads.
*In the meantime does anyone have an ‘in’ at Arik Air? I really would love my bag back:)

Look of the Week: Mariah Carey, Serena Williams, Lupita Nyong’o And More!

Happy Saturday!

I’m currently taking in the smells and sounds of my local Starbucks while indulging in a tall Cinnamon Dulce Latte. It feels pretty good to take some time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, ya know? So, without further ado, let’s get into some of our favorite celebrity looks!

1) Serena Williams in Serena Williams x Aaron Gray

Serena+Williams+Sports+Illustrated+Sportsperson-serena-williams-collection-aaron-gray

Sportsperson of the Year Serena Williams was on hand for the annual Sports Illustrated ceremony while uplifting a sheer black lace number from her very own collection featuring designer Aaron Gray. Her sultry ‘fit boasts an impressive amount of skin and perfectly showcases her chiseled arms. Gosh, she’s stunning!

2) Lupita Nyong’o in Alexandre Vauthier

lupita-nyongo-star-wars-episode-vii-the-force-awakens-los-angeles-premiere-sequin-cutout-gown

Actress Lupita Nyong’o served up all kinds of fierceness as she graced the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of her new sci-fi film Star Wars: Episode VIIThe Force Awakens. The gorgeous fashionista (literally) shimmered in a floor-length Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2015 sequin cutout gown. She also donned bold reddish-orange lips and a pair of eye-catching earrings. I love this look – very futuristic, no?

3) Mariah Carey in Roberto Cavalli

0 Mariah Carey's New York City Roberto Cavalli Black and Yellow Printed Gown

So, Mariah Carey is back on the radar! The iconic vocalist was spotted out and about in NYC in a yellow and black floral number by Roberto Cavalli. Her dress also features a low-cut neckline, a fitted silhouette and long sleeves. As we all know, MiMi never strays too far from her heels – in this case, she slipped into a pair of black peep toe platforms. Hot!

4) Janelle Monae in Erevos Aether

Premiere+Star+Wars+Force+Awakens+Arrivals-janelle-monae

Electric Lady Janelle Monae flaunted her toned abs as she rocked the cameras at the Los Angeles premiere of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Our girl uplifted a metallic-embroidered dress by Erevos Aether and she set the look off even further with a gold strappy sandals.With double arm cuffs and an epic braided coif, Ms. Monae definitely delivered. Werk!

5) Solange in Rosie Assoulin

solange-knowles-1

Solange loves some Rosie Assoulin! In the past, we’ve seen Solo rock a few pieces from this brilliant designer and she never ceases to amaze us. Well, in this week’s highlight, the style maven oozed chic sophistication as she rocked a white silk faille top and green wide leg culottes. Now, in my opinion, this was a risky outfit – I mean, with the heavy flares and the statement draping – others would be swimming in fabric but Solange effortlessly slayed. Yes!

So, who gets your vote this week?

I’m a HUGE fan of our next nominee! I literally fell in love with her from the first time I spotted her on that memorable August 2015 cover of Teen Vogue (alongside Imaan Hammam and Aya Jones). DubbedFashion Month’s Most Popular Model‘ by Harper’s Bazaar, Lineisy Montero conquered the hearts of millions in a single stride. In total, the Dominican Republic native graced the runway 68 times.

Next up, we have Miss Gigi Hadid! As one of Kendall Jenner’s gal pals, this fashionista definitely made waves in 2015. No matter where you turned – this chick was in heavy rotation. Earlier this year, Gigi was named Maybelline’s brand ambassdor and she even made her debut in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

To round things out, we have a Queen Naomi! Now, regardless of how long she’s been in the game, home girl is STILL killin’ it. She’s rocked countless red carpets, flaunted it all for La Perla and even shut it down at Jean Paul Gaultier’s Paris Haute Couture show.
