Claire’s Life: André Leon King’s Birthday Bash

Bombshells,
It’s been a while since I’ve given you a trueClaire’s Life,” post. Remember those days back in 2008, when I’d take you partying with me in NYC? Well, last night brought that old thing back.
I had the pleasure of attending the 24th birthday party of André Leon King, Swizz Beatz’s younger brother, and an aspiring model and actor.

The party was chock full of industry insiders, including celebrity stylists Wouri Rice and Ty Hunter, publicist Kelly Mills, and Queen Latifah.

Not to be overlooked:The fabulous Alicia Keys.

I didn’t snap a picture with the lovely lass this time, though she did remember me from our photo opp from her bday party. She said she was shocked to see her pic on a bunch of blogs, but she was a good sport.

A few personal pix:

 

It’s official, André Leon King is my new favorite person.


Keep it locked here for exclusives on his burgeoning modeling career. He’s one to watch!

Smootches!

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Chyanne from D.C.

A few of you have asked for more ‘polished’ Bombshells with a corporate (not hipster) swagger.
I thought Chyanne from D.C. fit the bill:

The wardrobe consultant and blogger for TheYuppieLady.com says, “My style is classic. Go-figure I guess, but it’s classic with a modern yet edgy twist.”

“… I love smart blazers, sleek skirts and trousers.”

” I tell women all the time, “your workwear doesn’t have to be boring just because you’re in an office environment.””

” I push the envelope here in D.C. and I enjoy it because my style is an expression of myself.”

“… So I hope I can bring something new to the Fashion Bombshell of the Day because every working woman is a Yuppie woman.”

Simple and sweet! See more of Chyanne and her work at www.yuppiebychyanne.com and www.theyuppielady.com.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Rocquelle from Houston

Before my wrists fall off from Met Gala induced typing (eep!), I thought I’d bring you our Bombshell for today, Rocquelle from Houston:

She says, “I would describe my style as eclectic and feminine, with a slight edge.”


“… My style is not very well thought out or planned; I usually go with what feels good to me that day.”

” I love mixing old and new clothes and jewelry in my looks daily!”

” My locs are a part of my authenticity, and I tend to go for sculpted updos and styles (that I do myself), which add to my style.”

” I’ve submitted a few photos, and more can be found on my blog Consider Me Lovely (www.considermelovely.com).”

Lovely, indeed. Digging your hair, girlfriend. I would have liked to see a bit more variety in your looks–though the A-line midi skirts are different. And most importantly they work for you.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Shavonne DeAnn from New Jersey

Today’s Bombshell is Philly based, New Jersey born designer Shavonne DeAnn:

She says, “My style depends on my mood and occasion, it varies a lot.”


“… I love wearing vintage pieces. I’m a thrifty person, but love to spice it up and make it more fun and glamorous with my own pieces. I would say my style is fun and random.”

“I love printed blazers and blazers in general because they are timeless pieces that can be worn with any and everything. You can always have fun with blazers and dress them up or down to fit any occasion.”

“…Even though I love dressing up, I love to be comfortable as well in my Jordan Spizikes. I can’t be in heels every single day lol. =)”

“In the winter time, I was on my June Ambrose flow wearing my turbans because I was going through my natural stages and letting my hair grow out, but who said it couldn’t be a very cute hair accessory?”

“However, I lost patience and chopped it off back to my short hair, don’t care lol. The accessories I can’t leave the house without are my no lens glasses. It my signature!”


Great looks Shavonne. See some of her designs at www.shavonnedeann.bigcartel.com.


LOVE the dresses. I’m about to order one myself….
At any rate:

“… My inspiration and style varies from day to day & I love creating a different version of myself everyday through my clothing.”

” If I were to sum up my style in one word it would be unpredictable.”

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Tiffany from California

Today’s Bombshell is Tiffany from Compton, California:

She says, “As a self proclaimed “thick-choklatedip” I sometimes feel plus size women feel they need to ‘cover up’ and hide the beautiful curves they have been blessed with…well I don’t lol ;-)”

” I like to describe my style as confident, low-key and sexy.”

” I pick pieces that show the shape I am proud to have, and cant help but to embrace all animal prints (its the inner sex kitten inside me lol) and bright colors that make me feel vibrant and full of energy.


“… I feel like just because your plus sized you don’t have to wear clothes as if you were 50 years old in your 20’s and 30’s, I see that much too often and refuse to be a victim.”

” I am a single mother…so I splurge rarely. I keep my closet full of affordable pieces and thrifty finds.”

“… I do most shopping at stores like Forever 21, ASOS, thrift stores, downtown LA and LA based boutiques. So without further ado, here is a little of my style. Enjoy!!!”

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Khali from South Carolina

Hey Hey!
Today’s Bombshell is Khali from South Carolina:

She says, ” My style changes with the seasons, my moods, and my hair!”

“I love bright colors, clean lines, and rich fabrics.”

“…My inspiration comes from my mother, who has honed me since birth to be as fabulous as her, so about 75% of my wardrobe either comes from her closet or is the “more affordable” (aka cheaper lol) version of her clothes.”

“Being born and raised in Columbia, I have often had to rely on my monthly subscriptions to fashion magazines, tv, and of course Thefashionbombdaily.com for contemporary inspiration.”

“It also doesn’t hurt that I went to THE college capital of fashion, FAMU, where women wear fierce 5-inch heels on a daily basis.”

“Overall, I’d say that I pretty much wear whatever makes me happy.”

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Sandra from Dublin

Hey Guys!
Today’s Bombshell hails all the way from Dublin, Ireland! Allow me to introduce you to a stylista by the name of Sarah Sandra:

She says, “I am very refined, and sort of regal in my style.”


“..I love classic looks and clean lines. I’m not so much a follower of trends but dress according to how I feel–be it a hooded jumper to a whimsical dress (plus weather is a BIG consideration for me as I live in a very COLD CLIMATE).”



“I don’t have one specific style but I am very diverse and enjoy the art of constantly changing my looks.”


“… I believe style is very individual and people should be comfortable wearing what they like without caring what others feel or say.”


” I also believe in Quality over Quantity.”


” I love vintage clothes and stuff off the high street and markets too.”


“Since I’m in Europe, I have ample sources of daily inspiration….”


Great looks, Sandra! Feminine, quirky, you’ve got it all. And just a question: how’d you find the Fashion Bomb??
