Hey Hey!

Today’s Bombshell is stylist Mia from Philly:

She says, “I would describe my personal style as the last days of summer/first few days of fall: Anything pretty much goes!“

“…It is impossible to classify my style as one specific genre so I will just refer to it as eclectic. It is my own form of self therapy. I use it to express my many facets and emotions.”

“…As a personal shopper I appreciate every style of dress. I love luxury pieces. Some favorite designers that I innately run to are Chanel, YSL, Christopher Kane, Alexander Wang and the almighty McQueen.”

“I am an average everyday working woman, so I love to mix and match my high end pieces with the affordable such as Top Shop, Zara, BCBG, H&M, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters and a few other hidden gems!!”

“My must have accessory that I believe every woman should possess is confidence. It is definitely what will make or break your look. My mantra when it comes to dressing is “fashions fade, style is eternal”-Yves Saint Laurent.”

Mia, gworl, I love that last picture! The pussy bow top and dark jeans, finished off with the Hermès belt? Work!

Today’s Bombshell is Ra’Shanae from Pasadena, California:

She says, “I would explain my style in one word UNPREDICTABLE. I seek inspiration from music, my favorite designer’s collections, and how I feel when I wake up in the morning.”

Hey Guys!
Todays Bombshell is Abiola from Seattle, Washington:

The blogger for Bora Bora Style says, “I would define my style as a mix of 60’s chic with a hard edge and a mash up of mens modern classics.”

“…I adore quality vintage and enjoy mixing and mismatching it into one look. I love the structure of mens pieces and how it impacts a look when you merge it with an ultra feminine addition – very ambiguous outcome, but stunning all the same.”

“…I’m also a “shoe enthusiast”. There’s nothing better than a good, quality shoe and how it can change the dimensions of your entire look – I love that ish. I get a kick out of playing up soft elements with a hard edge, keeps the look exciting and fresh in my opinion.”

“Fashion to me is more than clothes constructively draped on a model; fashion is an art about self expression and molding ones individuality through what they wear and how they wear it. I think that’s what resonates with me the most about fashion: the idea that whatever I put together on my body tells everyone around me a little bit about who I am before I even speak.”

Cute looks! Check out Abiola on her blog, Bora Bora Style.

Hey Guys!
Today’s fabulous Bombshell is Ashley from Jackson, Mississippi:

She had a lot to say about her look, so I had to edit. In short she says, “My style is extremely unique and it happens to rub off on those who happen to walk past its distinctiveness.”

“…I would describe my style as vintage meet 80’s meet 90’s meet modern girl. Birthed into fashion, I evolved with a style of my own that clearly stands alone.”

“Remember behind every passion lies a strong story waiting to be heard. My story is bold, daring, fASHionable, shabby yet chic; it’s everything it is supposed to be.”

“I’m not your typical girl living in a stereotypical world but at least that has no effect on fashion with the exception that I don’t DRESS to IMPRESS… I DRESS to EXPRESS ME..”

Well, alright! What do you guys think of Ashley from Mississippi?

Hey Hey!

So after the Vivienne Westwood show, my friend invited me to tag along as his guest to a private dinner with the designer, sponsored by spirits company Chivas Regal:

We sampled organic see bass, roast sirloin, and stinking bishop cheese, all the while sipping an assortment of wines and Chivas Regal Whiskey. I was super juiced when I saw model and actress Tolula Adeyemi enter the room:

As one of Vivienne Westwood’s muses, she was of course on hand to partake in the festivities. I told her about the Fashion Bomb and she said, “I thought I saw my picture on there before!” She was the definition of sweet and chic!

I didn’t get a chance to chat with la Dame Westwood herself, though I managed to snap a quick picture:

I was having an ‘I’m not worthy’ moment, and dared not approach. She seemed pleasant, and appeared to enjoy the Chivas Regal as much as we did. It was a delightful dinner:

Afterwards, my friend Will and I two-stepped over to the Mulberry party at Claridge’s, where we ran into my friend and stylist, Joel Dash. If you don’t know about Joel, you will soon! Stay tuned.

At any rate, the Mulberry party, like the show, had a Fantastic Mr. Fox theme. So we put on some fox masks and posed with Emma Hill, creative director of the brand:

It was an amazing night. I’m running to Paul Smith, then Giles later on this evening. Busy, busy, busy.

Stay tuned for more instances from my life. Oh and visit my Tumblr www.xoxoclaire.com for more snapshots that didn’t make the blog.

Smootches!

*I pulled out my Ashtyn birthday dress for the night, and accessorized with earrings by Lia Sophia and my favorite Sessilee necklace by ken + dana design.

*Thanks Will!

Hey Guys!
We’re mixing it up with today’s Fashion Bomber, Mark from DC:

He says, “My style is a mix of casual and street, I would say my favorite items are sweaters and tennis shoes.”


” I probably spend the most money on my denim and my tennis shoes.”


“… A nice chain and a fitted hat are my favorite accessories.”

Ok!

Hey Guys!
Today’s Bombshell, Jacinta, hails from Charleston, South Carolina:

The Duke University grad says, “I would describe my style as edgy old-lady chic.”

“… My grandma believes there’s really an old woman inside my body whose heyday was in the late 50s and early 60s.”


” I wear mink stoles, scarves on my head, Grace Kelly-inspired nipped in waists with voluminous skirts, vintage brooches, and tons of fur, coupled with modern pieces of course.”

“… My closest friends know I’m a quasi-introvert and that I express my emotions in creative ways, so I favor bright colors like teal, coral, marigold, and chartreuse.”

” I travel quite a bit and love to pick pieces that will evoke memories of where I’ve traveled.”


“…I’m inspired by Gene Tierney, Grace Kelly, Kerry Washington, and Bianca Jagger.”

I love it! Bright colors work on you, and you make vintage items look young and modern.

Hey Guys!

So I’ve had lots of fun documenting my outfits during Fashion Week!

Today’s my unofficial last day going to shows in New York, as I have to prepare for my trip to London tomorrow on American Airlines.

Today, I attended the Hervé Leger show and was actually rushing to the venue! I had to prepare some posts for the Bomb, along with reviews for Essence.com and The Root. When I’m in doubt, I always bet on black with a strong pump. I chose a bow tie black Angelica dress by Motel (courtesy of DJPremium.com) and wore it as a top. I threw a tweed skirt from Zara over the dress to make it look more professional (the dress is a little saucy!).

For accessories, I love my gold, so put on a bullet necklace and diamond cuff by Jenny Dayco along with my favorite Futura ring by ken + dana design:

Of course you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of Christian Loubotin Simple 85 pumps:

No full on fur for me, today, just my Andrew Marc wool coat with a fur collar:)
I’m off tomorrow!

I’ll try to record my outfits as I hop from London to Milan to Paris!
