Claire’s Life: Keyshia Cole’s Woman to Woman Cocktails at the James Hotel

Hey!
A few days ago, media maven Bevy Smith invited me to a cocktail hour at James Hotel to fête Keyshia Cole‘s newest album and splash back on the scene.

After getting a pre fashion week facial and eyebrow grooming at Walker’s Apothecary, I made a quick change and headed to the rooftop to see what was what. I couldn’t bring my own photographer, though I was able to snap pix of a few attendees with my trusty Iphone:

Daisy Lewellyn, Me, Felicia Benson, Julee Wilson


Jasmine Martin, Bevy Smith, Michaela Angela Davis, Me

Keyshia Cole, Mimi Valdes

Shiona Turini, Rajni Jacques, Me, Nikki Ogunnaike

Later on I was able to dish with Keyshia about her outfit.

Styled by Joe Exclusive, she sported a Stella & Jamie Spring/Summer 2013 jacket, short shorts, and Versace boots.

Hot! or Hmm…?

As for me, I figured it would be a saucy night, so I struck my best Johnny Bravo pose in a resurrected Diane von Furstenberg halter top (last seen here), Topshop skirt, Christian Louboutin leopard print peep toes (last seen here), and a YSL clutch (last seen here).

It was a fun night, and only a precursor to all the Fashion Week fun.
What do you think?

 
If you haven’t heard Keyshia’s latest single, Enough of No Love, listen to it here:

Check out a few official pictures from the night, snapped by Ricky Day:

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Aspyn from Chicago

Today we’re bringing you a bit of Chitown flavor with Bombshell, Aspyn:

She says, “I’m 21 and a journalism student living in Chicago, Illinois.”

” My style is a mix-up of everything.”


” From girly to rocker to bohemian, and everything in between.”


” I don’t like sticking to one style. Versatility is extremely important to me.”

” I think people should just wear what they want regardless of how people will perceive them.”


” Stop giving a damn what people think!”


” I post most of my looks, thoughts on fashion, music, and life on my blog, www.butimnotajournalist.blogspot.com.”

Ha, love that blog name! You embrace the casual chic vibe, I see. I love your printed shawl.
What do you think of Aspyn’s looks?

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Shella from DC

Hey!
Sorry for the slow posts this morning. I had a Peeping Tom situation on my hands and had to call the cops! All is well now, so let’s keep our regularly scheduled program popping, shall we? Take a look at today’s Bombshell, Shella from DC:

20120828-173657.jpg
She writes, “I finally mustered up the courage to send my pics! YAY!”

” I don’t really know how to describe my style so I’ll just tell you what I love — color, prints, texture, sequins, and bold accessories!”

” If I look into the mirror and like what I see it’s a done deal!”


” I’m more of a vintage/thrift girl, and typically just end up buying pieces that excite me regardless of brand or price.”

“…I created my blog www.theeverydaycatwalk.com with two fab friends about six months ago.”


“As an attorney, my style is somewhat limited Monday-Friday…”


“… so I wanted to create a place where I could wear any and everything and stay creative!”


” Hope you enjoyed the submission and thank you FBD Team for this great opportunity!”

OK, Sheila! I love your use of vibrant colors, and might have to jack your for that BCBG dress! Will definitely be checking out your blog.
What do you think of this DC Diva’s style?

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Talysha from Kansas

Ready for a Bombshell? Check out Talysha from Topeka, Kansas:

She writes, ” I am a first-time mommy and an aspiring wardrobe stylist. Aside from working full time, trying to build my styling business and chasing my 15-month-old around, my life can get pretty hectic at times!!! “

“I work at a law firm during the day and my love of bold colors and prints doesn’t always get to shine through, so I created a blog about six months ago that basically serves as my creative outlet.”

It’s called “Pretty Little Layers” (http://layeredpretty.blogspot.com), and it showcases my personal style and serves as a guide for young mothers like myself struggling to balance career and family and do it all fashionably.”

“My personal style is undefined because what I wear depends on what mood I’m in. One day it could be girly and romantic and the next it could be edgy or androgynous.”

” I like to experiment with different silhouettes and right now I’m into wearing men’s clothing.”


” I also love playing with looks from different eras as well.. for instance, right now I’m really into the 90s.”


“The majority of my closet is high street wear mixed with thrift store finds. I don’t believe that you have to spend a lot to look good but if you can splurge on anything, it should be shoes and handbags. Everything else is negotiable. :)”

” Remember style IS subjective because if it weren’t, we’d all be wearing the same uniform. Everyone has style, but it’s in how you style the look that makes all the difference. In theory, don’t be a drag, just be a QUEEN!”


Alrighty! Love your hair and your 90’s throwback moments. See more of Talysha’s style at www.layeredpretty.blogspot.com.

” I would describe my style as fun and classy.”


” I love to wear clothes that compliment my figure.”

“The finishing touch to any of my outfits must be my hair and a smile. “


” My style expresses how I feel during that day.”


” Fashion is your own creation and how you express yourself through clothes.”


“I love seeing others be creative with their fashion.”


“Check out my blog www.randomjunke.tumblr.com…”

“… and follow me on twitter/instagram @MyNaturalhigh : )..”


“ENJOY!!”


Love your maxi dresses! And your hair and smile are your best accessories.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Bintu from Philly

Hey Hey!
It’s time for Bombshell of the Day! Take a look at Bintu from Philly:

She writes, “I would describe my style as Afro 70’s soul Vixen meets pin-up girl. “


“As crazy as it sounds!”


“My family is of West African descent and often times I incorporate that into my style.”


” I’ve been infatuated with the women of the 70’s and pin-up era for as long as I can remember.”


” Women in the 70’s were classy but sexy and edgy…”

“… and pin-up girls just want to have fun!!!”


” I enjoy the polka dots and high waisted anything from that era.”


“[I have a] talk show [that] airs on Comcast in Philly right now and online. I hope that you are able to tune in
(www.youtube.com/buzzklub)!!!!!”


I’ll check you on out! I definitely see the 70’s influences. And that picture of you in the African print dress is all kinds of fierce, honey.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Jennifer from Dallas

It’s a bit of a slow style day (and I’m cooking up quite a Style Inspiration), so decided to give you today’s Bombshell, Jennifer from Dallas, a little early:

She writes, “I am the creator of BLANK WHITE FRAMES (www.blankwhiteframes.blogspot.com), a lifestyle blog that focuses primarily on fashion.”

“My style is pretty classic, but I love to mix prints, and if I can I will add leopard to any outfit :).”


“I never leave home without at least a watch and a pair of earrings to accessorize.”


“”I pride myself on knowing what styles work best with my figure…”

“… so I try to stick only with those trends that are flattering on me.”

“I am a firm believer that if you can only splurge on one item in your wardrobe it should be a great pair of shoes.”


Totally on board with your shoe philosophy! Very cute dress selection. I love how you mix colors and prints.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Ashley from DC

You guys seem a little lukewarm about today’s Bomber. Perhaps we can raise your stylish spirits with Ashley from DC:

She types, “I’m a lifestyle blogger who writes for my own site, www.AshleyGaGa.com.”

” If writing were my husband, fashion would be my lover.”


” My style is pretty simple.”


” I love prints and bright colors.”


” But I usually stick to basic silhouettes and fabrics.”


” I spend a few dollars on clothes and shoes. But I always skimp on accessories.”


” Selfishly, I feel that a lady shouldn’t have to buy her own jewelry. But I’m not sure if that logic is any good, though.”

” Please visit www.AshleyGaGa.com to find out more about my style. “

Will do! Loving that green jumpsuit and your printed top and black pants combo.
