Video : Lights out by Santigold

On top of loving Santigold’s music, I also appreciate her creative wardrobe choices:

She definitely has an 80’s vibe, but she takes it a step further by adding her own patterned flair. I always give props to women willing to think outside the box.

Claire’s Life : Ne-Yo’s Alfani Red Ad Campaign

Hey Bombshells!

So after my trip to the Bahamas, I popped into NYC to catch up with friends and fashionable peeps!
I hit the ground running yesterday, dropping into a press conference…

Atmosphere Alfani Red

…for men’s brand Alfani’s new line, Alfani Red, which features sleek designs, and a modern, closer fit:

It turns out Grammy award winning singer Ne-Yo is an ambassador for the brand and appears in their Fall 2009 Ad Campaign:

Of course I had to sidle up to him and snap a picture:

…and then I asked him a few questions about his personal style:

Quite a nice introduction back to NYC! I’ll be here for about a week and will see what else I can get into.

Splurge of the Day : Chanel Quilted 2.55 Handbag

Nothing says ‘classic style’ more than a Chanel Quilted 2.55 Handbag:

Chanel 2.55 Quilted Handbag

The $1500 bag is steeped in a storied history. The bag was introduced by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in February 1955 (which explains the number 2.55), and contains design elements that reflect Coco’s upbringing in an orphanage. The double chains represent the key chains of orphanage caretakers; the diamond quilting corresponds to the orphanage windows; and the red color inside matches that of the guard’s uniforms.  Now you can wear the bag with just about anything–it’s undeniably chic!
