Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Audrey from Cameroon

Today we’re taking it international with Audrey, a Cameroon native currently kicking it in Holland:

She writes, “I don’t think I have a particular style.”


” But I like to refer to my look as casual chic.”


” It is simple, classy, versatile, and depends on my mood.”


“…I am a young and upcoming designer in Afrochic wear. My label is called UZURI COUTURE.”


” It fuses the Western style and African culture by using our ethnic prints.”


“I love colors and prints and luckily I’m fortunate to rock them out in my own designs and stand out from the crowd.”

“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?!?
What do you think of Ms. Audrey?

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….?

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Amy from New York

Today we have a New York Bombshell! Check out Manhattan resident Amy:

The FIT student writes, “My style is a mix of everything depending on how I wake up in the mornings.”

“… Some days it is business casual, sometimes preppy, but most of the time bohemian-chic because I do love to be comfortable.”

“.. Some of this may have be attributed to the fact that I moved to New York City from Los Angeles so I am kind of a mixture/hybrid of styles.”

” I love the chill vibe from Cali but then I also love the hustle and bustle of professional New York. I blog at www.vivierebella.com where you can get to know my sense of style and vibe but I really just love everything flowy with gold accents and accessories.”

” I prefer shorts over skirts for comfortability and I really appreciate good fabrics.”


“… I love to express myself through the clothes I wear and although I love designer brands that is not necessarily the best way to dress because money cannot buy one style…unless it’s a stylist.:)”

” I aspire to inspire.”

Pretty! Please spill the tea on that pink and purple splashed mini dress! So cute.
