We’re ending this fine and fashionable week with another 2nd timer: Chardline from Boston, Massachusetts:

She types, “First off, I would like to thank you for displaying more and more women who are not what society deems “Acceptable.””

” I don’t know if you see what you are doing, but you are helping a lot of women come out their shell and be proud of who they are in their most fashionable sense!”


“How would I describe my style? I go where the wind takes me.”


” Everyday is a new day and sometimes you can tell how I feel in what I dress.”


” I love trendy clothes, but I also love to be bold in the same breath.”


” Pushing beyond the standards that society has set for a size 18 woman.”


” I love colors…”

“… and accentuating whatever curves I got.”


Yes! Love this. Hand over that Thug Life shirt and nobody gets hurt!

So I’m happy to announce that I’m a Toyota Lifestyle Ambassador!
The car brand tapped me to ‘Go Places’ in their vehicles, and take you guys along for the ride. I’m actually going to Cape Cod this afternoon for a golfing event, but drove a Highlander to visit Madam CJ Walker’s estate this past Friday!

In case you don’t know who Madam CJ Walker is, allow me to indulge you in a bit of Black History! Madam Walker was the first self made female millionaire in America. She built her fortune by developing and marketing a successful line of hair care products for black women. Her mansion, Villa Lewaro, was built in 1918 by Vertner Tandy, the Co-Founder of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.



Madam Walker built the mansion to stand as a tribute to the advancements of African-Americans, and to act as a pillar of inspiration for future generations. As an entrepreneur and black business woman, I was beyond inspired by the grandiose structure, and all its 34 rooms.

For my fun daytrip, I wore an Essendi leopard top, my Rag & Bone Jeans, and my Gianvito Rossi perspex pumps (I love ’em!). I finished my look with Covergirl Outlast All Day Lipcolor in Ever Red-y.


At any rate, it was a super fun and educational excursion! Many thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation for hosting the tour; read about their efforts to conserve and protect the home here. Also, read up on Madam CJ Walker at MadamCJWalker.com and check out a few historical flix below.



Also, stay tuned for my fun trips with Toyota.

I’ll be Instagramming and Tweeting with the hashtag #letsgoplacesclaire #claireandtoyota and #letsgoplaces.

“I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations. I have built my own factory on my own ground. I had to make my own living and my own opportunity. But I made it! Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.” ~Madam CJ Walker

Reader Thinning Edges Help! recently wrote in, “Claire can we start a conversation on thinning edges? I’ve had thinning edges for as long as I can remember. My Mum and sisters do as well, but mine is really bad. I’ve never been officially diagnosed, but I believe I suffer from the condition called Alopecia.”

“What can I do? I really want to stop with the weaves and extensions but I can’t find the confidence to expose my edges. It’s bothered me for so long. Any help or advise on this is appreciated. It’s so hard to speak about it and for so long I’ve ignored it and just used weaves. Now I’m getting older and I’ m getting sick of weaves…I really want to go natural. Please help.”

No Problem! I hit up my hairstylist, Sammy Lacombe, for a bit of insight. Read on for her 5 tips to help with your thinning hair.
1. Eliminate tension. Try not to pull your hair and avoid regular tight styles.

She explains, “Tight ponytails, tightly braided weaves, and too tight twists can cause thinning. “ Wear your hair down or in a loose pony from time to time. Give the weaves a break, and go for clip in extensions that you can take out daily. She continues, “If you have locs, and notice thinning, try not to twist as often. Wear silk or satin headbanks in between visits to your hairstylist.”

2. Protect your hairline during work outs with a headwrap.

Lacombe says, “Sweat dries your hair and makes the hair brittle. I love Save Your Do headwraps because they conserve your hairstyle and whisks sweat away.” In addition, wash your hair every 10 to 14 days.

3. Use Oil.

Castor, coconut oil, or a mixture of both are god sends to those with thin edges. Sammy says, “Go for organic, authentic brands for the most efficiency.”

4. Do Protein Treatments.

“Protein treatments rebuild the bonds of the hair follicle,” says Lacombe, “You should do them monthly, depending on severity.” If you’re not skilled, don’t try this at home! See your hairstylist or a hair professional.

5. Try a multivitamin.

Sammy says, “Get one with biotin in it. Biotin helps stimulate hair and nail growth.”
That does it!

While all those methods will work if you have moderate thinning, if your hair is already falling out, see a tricologist at Hair and Skin Clinic in Melbourne. They can do transplants or other stimulations.
Do you guys have anything to add?

We’re ending this week with a 2nd time Bombshell! She last twirled across our screens in October 2013. Let’s see Chanel from Seattle’s updated ensembles:

The founder of www.seattlefashionblogger.com types, “I’d describe my style as sporty…”

“… eclectic…”


“… and feminine.”


” I love putting together trendy outfits with a twist.”


” I tend to gravitate towards boxy or boyish pieces…”


” but I also love to feel sexy!”



Hot! Love the new haircut. I definitely see an evolution!

“… and I like to dabble into men’s fashion.”


” Thank you for allowing me to share my style with you!”
