Claire’s Life: Hosting a Private Screening for Death on the Nile, In Theaters February 11th!

Happy Hump Day!

Last night, I was thrilled to host my first screening of 2022, for the murder mystery film, Death on the Nile!

The movie takes place in the 1930’s, and features well-heeled aristocrats from London and Paris. The cinematography and wardrobe styling by Paco Delgado are visually arresting and supremely stunning. Aside from the intrigue, you will be awed by the beauty of the film. 

Fashion Bomb Daily VIPS were treated to an advance screening–provided that they dress according to theme! They did not disappoint:

Sparkles, feathers, and bell shaped hats for on tap for this stylish duo.

Bombshell Christiana looked like the Queen of the Nile in a feather trimmed dress and a crystal headpiece.

The fellas represented with this young man in a printed suit and matching bowtie.

Both these Fashion Bomb men offered their own unique takes on the theme. It works!

Yolanda from the brand Rum Island Punch packed a punch in all black and a feathered hat.

True Indian Hair founder Karen Mitchell and her friend Leslie were stunning in furs. I was living for Leslie’s hooded Roberto Cavalli gown!

And this Bombshell was subtle and chic in a cloche hat and vintage coat.

As for me, I slipped on sequins and feathers in a Nadine Merabi dress and Gucci heels.

I went for it with hair and makeup by Tyra’s Hair Experience and Makeup by Latisha Chancey-Jordan.

And then had a lovely time meeting and greeting our fabulous guests!

Thank you to everyone who came out!

Next up? New York Fashion Week! Keep it locked here for updates.

And be sure to check out the movie Death on the Nile, in theaters February 11th!

As Kim Kardashian Covers Vogue’s Latest Cover, Readers Question: Where’s the Tribute to Andre Leon Talley? + State of Fashion Compares Ebony Magazine’s Tribute

Kim Kardashian covers Vogue Magazine’s latest issue, with the tagline, “Kim’s New World: I’ve Chosen Myself.”

📸 @carlijnjacobs for @voguemagazine

Other feature stories include a testimony from African-American writer Janell Okwodu about how fashion finally made space for her. Missing was any mention of one of Vogue’s first, most effervescent, and pioneering Black editors, Andre Leon Talley.

@missaugust2u wrote, “Where is Andre’s Cover?” @drakesuniverse added, “Andre needs this cover! She has contributed nothing to society! NOTHING! Smh” @You_No_Nan offered, “Andre Leon Talley should’ve donned the cover. 🕊🙏🏾💐” @Typhh.ahh.nee, typed, “😴😴😴 They should have honored Andre.”

Perhaps Andre’s tribute is inside? Or maybe this issue had already gone to print before he could be included. The magazine world works differently from the digital world–many covers and cover features are decided and concretized 3 months in advance. Let’s hope his tribute (or maybe even cover) are coming soon.

Men’s Guide: What you need to know before buying clothes online

As a man, do you have a hard time trying to stay fashionable when all of the clothes available to you all look so similar? Do you want to know more about online shopping and what it has to offer you as a man?

Clothes are an important part of every man’s wardrobe, but what do you do when you need to buy new clothes and you don’t live near a clothing store? Or maybe you just don’t have time to go shopping? You could try buying clothes online, but before you do, there are some things you need to know. 

In this men’s guide, we will talk about the different types of clothes that are available online, how to figure out your size, and how to avoid being scammed. So, whether you are a first-time online shopper or a seasoned pro, read on for tips on how to buy clothes online the right way. 

Know your body type and what clothes look good on you

When it comes to online shopping, especially if you’re inexperienced there are a few things that you need to keep in mind and a few things that you need to know before you get started to have the best experience possible and get the best results possible.

First up you need to know what your body type is and what clothes typically look good on you. If you are buying clothes online, you don’t have the opportunity to try them on before you buy them and you want to make sure that you are choosing clothes that will undoubtedly suit you and will fit you very well.

Determining your body type means looking at your height, size, and figure whether you have broader shoulders, around the waist, long or short legs, or something else. Determining your finger or body helps you know which clothes would be better suited to your body type and which clothes you should rather stay away from.

Read reviews 

Reviews are everything when it comes to online shopping, and this is because you can’t physically see the product until it gets to your house. By reading reviews beforehand or before purchasing your product you can get an idea of the quality of the product and what other people think about it before you make up your mind and make a purchase. If you’re looking for the best clothing brands around, visit brandrated.com to read reviews on brands that provide premium apparel for the modern man. Doing this will save you time and money, and you’ll surely get the best deal for your budget. 

Have an idea of the colors and styles that you like

In today’s day and age, they are so many different stores online pages one could choose from, and it can be difficult to know where to start or where to look first. Before you get started it is a good idea to know what you might be looking for or have a general idea of the styles and the colors that you have in mind for the clothes that you want to purchase.

This makes searching for specific items much easier and then you don’t have to scroll through pages and pages and pages of things that have no relevance to you before you find anything that you are interested in. Ultimately this will make you feel better about the clothes that you eventually choose.

Shop around

The next tip that you should follow is you should take the time to look at various online stores and to shop around to see what everyone else has to offer. Often you will see that most stores offer very similar things, but they can differ in price depending on the store that you’re looking at

by shopping around, you can ensure that you can find the best product and the best quality at the price range that you are looking for in. You may even find some really good deals along the way and get the clothes that you want at a much cheaper price.

Make sure you know the return policy 

A big issue that comes up quite often when it comes to online shopping is the return policies. While for the most part, online stores will allow for you to return their products if you are not happy with the items and do not want to keep them, they are some that don’t allow it at all and some that have rules regarding their returns.

Before you make a purchase especially if you are unsure about the purchase, you must make sure you know the return policy and whether or not it is worth it for you

Be careful with sizing

last but not least you need to be careful with the sizing of the products as when it comes to clothing sizes often, they can run small or large depending on the store that you are buying from.

Most online stores will have a sizing guide which will make it much easier for you to find the clothes that will fit you best.
