He says, “ I’m an aspiring wardrobe stylist that describes my personal style as conservatively dramatic.”

” Generally I keep my looks simple…”


“…sleek…”


“… and casual…”


“…. because that is the type of person I am.”


” I throw dramatic in the mix because there is always an element of surprise in my look.”


” Whether it is the texture, color, print, or overall completion of an ensemble, people never hesitate to take more than one look.”


” I love to keep my looks realistic, trendy…”

“… and comfortable.”


” I post looks and updates so follow me @pflipstyles!”


” Claire and staff you guys are great at what you do, please keep up the awesome job.”

We will!

Well, yay for a well dressed man! My favorite outfits are your first and last, which is so interesting, as you’re giving me totally different aesthetics, but pull both off so well.

I love Solange’s style, but am not sure about this look. The excess fabric skews unflattering. Hair is super cute, however!

“From bright and fun to subdued and classy…”


“My personal style is a true reflection of my personality.”

“My outfits often consist of higher-end/contemporary items mixed with lower/mid priced items.”


“I love creating new looks by reusing older items in my wardrobe.”


“I dress in what makes me comfortable and happy.”


“Although I stay on top of trends, I won’t incorporate certain trends into my looks if I don’t feel it suits my personal taste.”


You are absolutely adorable! Some misses, but mostly hits, including her colorful dresses and Varsity Jackets. Bombshell!

We’re ending this week with another 2nd time Bombshell: Candy from Atlanta.

She says, “I have no particular way of dressing.”

” I just wear what I feel I look good in…”


“… and what flatters my shape.”


” I shop according to my life style…”


“… Although I appreciate high end items, it’s not a priority when shopping.”


“As a wife and mother…”

“… I like to look good on a budget.”

” I feel as though all women are beautiful…”


“… and it’s their inner confidence that makes them Fashion Bombshells.”

I see some hits (love that houndstooth skirt and red jacket combo). I’m not a fan of visible bras unless they’re black, but maybe that’s just me!
See Candy’s first entry here.

Claire’s Life: Talking Sample Sales on Arise TV 360

claire-sulmers-arise-tv-360

So one of my dreams is to be on TV, not as a reality starlet per se (though I wouldn’t mind), but moreso as a talking head / fashion expert. I was juiced when I got the opportunity to show off a bit of my fashion know-how with Lola Ogunnaike and Shannon Lanier of Arise TV 360:

The subject: sample sales. What they are, how to find them, and what to do while there. It was lots of fun, though my voice was a little raspy (too much partying in Cambridge). Anyway, enjoy:

I had a lot of fun chatting with them, hopefully they’ll have me back!
Let me know what you think;)
*My dress is by DVF, and yes I copped it at a sample sale for little as nothing! My shoes are by Saint Laurent.
