Would your splurge?
Yesterday, the world was in a total tizzy! Why? Instagram, Facebook, AND What’s app had the nerve to have a glitch that suspended service for most of the day.
Many of us (ourselves included) rely heavily on social networking tools for our businesses. While Fashion Bomb Daily started off as a regular old blogspot, we now disperse most of our news, new arrivals to our store, and event details on the ‘Gram. But yesterday, business was put on hold as Instagram worked out its issues.
As many of you know, most of last year, our mothership @FashionBombDaily was disabled at 1.4 million followers. For 8 months, we were seemingly separated from our platform and forced to diversify. It was tough! Why? While we poured so much energy and attention into Instagram, we had allowed our other platforms to flounder. Whenever this happens, we are forced to realize that we don’t actually own our real estate on Instagram. Everything can disappear in the snap of a finger. So next time IG acts up, make sure you are ready to pivot in the following ways:
1. YouTube
We actually do have a Youtube page, YouTube.com/fashionbombtv, and while we’ve churned out some pretty amazing videos in the past, we definitely could be more consistent! Last night, when Instagram showed no signs of recovery, I did my first Youtube Live unboxing:
It felt pretty lonely out there, but no matter: we all start somewhere. Be as consistent with Youtube as you are with Instagram and sit back and watch the results. Videos on Youtube get 10 of thousands and sometimes millions of views. Commit yourself to regular updates, just as you would any platform. While websites might be seen as something of the past, video is the future. Cop some of my swag below:
2. Emails and Newsletters
We all have to check emails: Build up that email list! Go direct to inbox with your latest announcements, news, and events. Sign up for our mailing list below:
3. Events
Events saved us when we were going through our rough patch last year. Convos with Claire is a unique experience for fashion lovers to network in their corners of the world. People come to dress up, learn, and network! We were able to fill rooms with ticket paying guests, vendors, and sponsors with a very small social imprint.
Online is great, but in person still works. Be sure to nurture a community both offline and online. Our next event is in Memphis, Tennessee on April 20th! Get your tickets at CWCMEMPHIS.EVENTBRITE.COM. Want to bring CWC to your town? Email bookclairesulmers@gmail.com
4.Twitter
We went straight to Twitter when everything went down, and learned that we were not alone. We also used the occasion to drive traffic to YouTube, our website, and events. Be sure to follow us at Twitter.com/thefashionbomb.
5. E Commerce Or Your Own Website
If you pay for hosting with a website or an e-commerce site, and own the domain name, your content will always have a home. We were blessed to truly launch FashionBombDailyShop.com last year, and as always we have our home base, FashionBombDaily.com. Of course websites can have outages, but at least in those cases, you’ll be more in control of the outcome. While we were left to twiddle our fingers for hours with IG, not knowing if order would be restored, your domain hosting site undoubtedly has a technical team that can provide updates. Feel more secure with your own domain.
6. Get Your Own App
Though this article promised 5 tips, there is a 6th that is definitely worth your investment: your own App. Instagram is an app that was able to attract the attention of millions. Who’s to say you can’t create your own Bomb app that serves the same purpose? At the very least, you would have a destination that users can get to on their phones to access your content no matter what! FBD is working on an app as we speak. If you’d like to donate to our new technology, click here.
As incidents like yesterday should teach us, we are only leasing time on IG. It is beautiful while it’s here, but we should all create our own social/content backups in case anything happens again in the future.

Meghan Markle was already a big Hollywood star with an amazing wardrobe. However, since she became the new member of the British royal family her styling got bigger and better. Markle has been creating these new simple, classy and elegant outfits to fulfil her duties as the Duchess of Sussex. From the sophisticated daytime looks to the her most flawless combination, Meghan has been developing an outstanding sense of style, which has made her a fashion icon to all the women. In this article, we will try to give you some assistance on how to recreate Meghan’s signature style.
Midi dresses
Every dress that falls to half way of the ankle and knee is designated as a “midi”. This dress style highlights both the elegance and womanlike. The multiple uses you can give to this piece makes it a good option for any event and for all the bodies. For a more casual look, adding to your ensemble a jacket or a blazer might turn it just into the perfect outfit for any occasion.
Pumps
To Megan Markle, shoes are obviously a concern. Pumps are one of her strong favorites footwear. The closed toe pointy shoes match all her defined styles. This kind of shoes suit every occasion and are timeless, never out of trend. Either if you decide to wear some jeans, coat or a formal dress, pumps will always fit your choices. There is nothing else that can beat the elegance and versatility of a classic pump.
Wide leg pants
Wide leg pants are another preferred option for the Duchess of Sussex. In fact, no wardrobe could possibly be complete without wide leg pants. Meghan is usually spotted wearing these during the day time and her noteworthy trick to make these pants a fashion statement is combining it with a blazer, shirt or coat. This is one of the multiple chic and smart styles Meghan Markle creates based on simplicity.
Fascinators
Formal day events are the spot light to fascinators. This essential piece can’t fail the royalty wardrobe and Meghan can often be seen wearing these during some more formal ceremonies. This option is the perfect match either for a horse race or a wedding festivity.
Blazers
What can go wrong with a simple, fancy blazer? Meghan Markle give us the answer and there is no possible wrong outcome for a piece like this. Her style may look chic and elegant, but the Duchess also likes to add a business touch to her clothes every now and then. She can often be marked with a relaxed sense of style while wearing this fresh edge look.
Belted coats
Being warm in rainy and grey London may be a challenge. However, Meghan Markle proved to us that nothing is impossible to overcome when it comes to fashion. Perfect for any time of the day, the belted coats are an excellent decision for the elegance the Duchess got us used to. The newest member of the British royal family uses this piece with a chunky scarf, a hat or a clutch for a more ‘chic’ look. Incorporating the garment into your closet adds an instant fashion ensemble.
Evening clutches
It may seem challenging to look flawless and simple at the same time but, once again, Markle masters this art. From handheld satchels to leather totes, the Duchess confirms that clutches are far from being impractical. It is not new that she is constantly surrounded by photographers and the press and this fashion piece comes to facilitate their work. Holding a clutch makes the shoulders and arms to fall in a flattering angle, facilitating the capture of images, when intended by her. Whether wearing an astonishing dress or some pantsuits, the clutch comes in addition to complete anyone’s outfit.
Boat neck dresses
Over the past year Meghan has been using several outfits with the boatneck cut. This kind of style has a deep meaning associated: it means glamour mixed with a traditional and polished look. The body figure stands outs in these garments as it tends to make the waist look smaller. Her stunning minimalist wedding grown from the fashion house Givenchy, France, has clearly stated a position in the fashion world which differs her from the rest of the royal members. Dressing like royalty has never been easier.
As we look back at the best street fashion on the streets of Fashion Weeks across the globe, there was one luxury bag in particular that popped up again and again – the Chanel Side-Packs. When is one Chanel bag ever enough?
Currently available in a variety of colors and sizes from their Spring/Summer 19 collection, this double bagged beauty has been seen draped effortlessly across the bodies of all the top bloggers and fashionistas. The more elegant take on the fanny pack when worn across the body trend, is this $6,900 bag (the denim one is only $5,900 – you’re welcome!!) is it worth the splurge?

There is a reason why so many people in the fashion industry flock to vintage designer handbags. These unique bags capture a moment in time, bringing part of the past into the present day. Carrying a vintage bag is not only a luxurious experience but it also makes it feel like your accessories have a fascinating story to tell.
If you have never purchased a vintage handbag before take a look at The Vintage Bar for beautiful authentic vintage pieces. The tips and information below can help you find the perfect designer bag from a bygone era.
Educate yourself.
Rather than shopping for a vintage handbag right away, take a little bit of extra time to educate yourself about what to look for. How can you spot whether a bag is real or fake? How much should you expect to pay? As a general rule of thumb, vintage handbags tend to be more affordable than brand-new designer bags. Most people classify handbags that were produced more than 10 years ago as vintage. When buying a bag, check the reputation of the seller to make sure they are trustworthy. They should be willing to guarantee that the bag is authentic.
Authenticate the handbag.
When it comes to designer handbags, checking the authenticity of the bag is extremely important since there are a lot of fake pieces on the market. Research the handbag in question, looking for key features that can help you verify its authenticity. Along with a serial number, the bag should come in its original packaging or should be accompanied by an authenticity card.
Consider the price.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that an inexpensive bag is not authentic. The price of the bag is determined by a number of different factors ranging from its age to its overall condition. The materials used to make the bag also come into play when determining its value.
Take a look at the condition of the bag.
Anytime you buy a vintage item, you should expect it to show some signs of wear since it has been previously owned and used. While a small amount of wear can give a vintage handbag character, too much wear can be problematic. Avoid buying bags that have lost their shape or that have major flaws. If you do find a bag that you love that has seen better days, make sure you don’t pay too much money for it. You may be able to have the bag restored if it is made out of leather. Keep in mind, however, that the restoration process can alter the look and feel of the leather – particularly when dealing with lambskin. In our opinion, it is best to buy a nicer bag up front rather than trying to restore a bag that is worn or damaged.
Consider how old and rare the handbag is.
Rare vintage handbags tend to be more valuable than bags that were created in larger numbers. For instance, bags that were made during times when raw materials were scarce or pieces that were created as part of a limited-edition run are usually more expensive than handbags that are more common. Typically, the craftsmanship that went into making handbags in the past was top-notch. As a result, many older bags still look like they are brand-new – especially if they have been well cared for.
Choose high-quality materials.
The best vintage handbags are made out of high-quality materials. Bags that are made out of rare materials like snakeskin, lizard, ostrich, or alligator are usually priced higher than bags that are made out of more common materials.
If you find a vintage handbag that you love, it is important to act quickly since the odds of finding that exact same bag again are extremely slim. One of the best things about vintage designer handbags is that they are all unique, meaning that you don’t have to worry about having the same handbag as everyone else.
