Claire’s Life: Angela Simmons’s Indique Launch Party + Our Members Only Jacket Giveaway!

Hey Hey!
So last night I quickly popped by Angela Simmons’s Indique hair launch event:

The entrepreneur collaborated with Indique to create Bikini, a multi textured wave pattern seemingly perfect for a day at the beach (read more about it here).

Pretty!
After sipping a few seltzer waters, I headed out to dinner with friends. Since it was epically hot outside, I wanted to sizzle, so slipped on a neon orange jacket the kind folks over at Members Only sent my way:

I resurrected my YSL Tribute sandals (last worn here) to play off the jacket’s neon hues, then toned it all down with an athletic inspired, zippered Diane von Furstenberg shift.

How would you wear a Members Only jacket?

Leave a comment, and we’ll give away one men’s jacket and one women’s jacket to the Bomber and Bombshell with the best outfit ideas. Check out a few colors here:

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Raliat from Maryland

Today we’re bringing it back stateside with Bombshell Raliat from Maryland:

She writes, “I have always loved fashion ever since I was a little girl. I consider myself a Fashion Fanatic.”

” I started my blog www.rallydfashionfanatic.blogspot.com about 3 months ago during my Spring Break just to add some fun to my life.”

” I am a Rising Junior in College and I am Chemistry Major with the hope of becoming a Pharmacist in future.”


” I am a shy, boring, and very serious person but my blog has boosted my confidence and enabled me to explore my creative nature and inspire others with my personal style.”

“…Even though I am shy and a bit timid, I am the girl in class that is always overdressed, people recognize me through my personal style. I believe that just because one is going to school does not mean one should not take their time to dress up.”

” Between my hectic schedule at school and work, fashion to me is a means to be playful and fun. I would say that my style is classic, chic, colorful yet trendy.”

“On a regular day, you will probably see me in a pair of jeans, a bold top and a blazer with some statement shoes. I am so loving blazers, maxis and the colored denim trend right now. I love trying out trends and putting my own classic twist to it. I also love experimenting with colors and I love shoes especially heels; I always build my outfits around my shoes. Thanks for giving me this opportunity and I hope you will feature me on the website.”

Cute! You don’t look boring at all:) Loving your printed maxi skirt and those leopard pants! Work!

“I live by the quote “You are your own businesscard, no one can represent you as well as yourself” !”


“Met vriendelijke groet!”

Prints, colors, peplums, oh my! I love that you embrace bold hues and unique pieces. Is that green jacket one of your designs? Can I order it in a size 12?!?

Claire’s Life: The Ford Mustang Master Class in Salt Lake City, Utah

Happy Monday!
So I spent this past weekend in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah, learning how to drive a stick shift on Ford Mustang’s super fast Boss 302.

Confession: I am not the best driver. I ran over…all the cones and failed my first driving test when I was 16. Tears ensued. For my second try the nice instructor talked me through how to parallel park. So driving is not my forté…but I always love to learn new things, so decided to go along for the ride.

On day 1, we were simply introduced to the vehicles, and shown its large array of colors, which included schoolbus yellow, fire engine red, candy apple green, and even pink! As a fashion enthusiast, I was obviously juiced by how the car matched so well with my blue Aqua blazer and Zara cropped leopard pants.


Haha, it’s the little things.
On day 2, we were actually able to drive the cars, so were shuttled out to Miller Motorsports Park and Track:


Instructors required us to wear long pants and closed toed shoes, so I pulled out my old J.Crew olive green cargos along with a pair of Ash Bowie Suede Lace Up Sneakers. I normally don’t ‘do’ sneakers outside of the gym, but am slowly starting to dip my toe into a few styles, and figured the Ash Bowie’s would be a good starter pair.

Then, it was time for driving!

The instructors were super sweet, and walked us through the steps (clutch, shift, gas). I think I got the hang of it. I loved the control and speed afforded with stick shifts–it was such a rush!

At the end of our training session, everyone on the trip raced through a series of cones…

And I came in first place!

Hey, guess I’m not such a bad driver after all.
Afterwards we spent a bit of time watching a few other races on the track.


Then made a quick change for dinner. I decided to take my outfit from day to night by just switching my shoes and hitting the town.

And there you have it!

The trip was short, but sweet. And now I’m alll about driving a stick and doing a little racing:)

Splurge: Rihanna’s Da Silvano Restaurant Christian Louboutin Havana Woman Trash Oxfords

Rihanna’s been keen on wearing sneakers and flats lately, but stepped it up a notch for a recent dinner date at one of her favorite restaurants, Da Silvano. The songstress went for monochromatic red in a slightly sheer T by Alexander Wang top and tab front A.L.C. trousers, accented by her standby Céline Nano bag, Karen Walker Super Duper Strength Sunglasses, and $895 Christian Louboutin Havana Woman Trash Oxfords:

The patent leather round toe oxfords are part of Louboutin’s 20th Anniversary Capsule collection, and are decorated with “trash” accessories at the toe.

Are you feeling ’em?

If so, get them at Barney’s. Save on the rest of her look here:

Hot! or Hmm….?
