Fashion Tips for Those Who Are Spending the Day Outside

Spending the day outside may be a big part of your everyday routine. Whether you are a professional working in a corporate environment or a business owner hopping from one meeting to the next, knowing how to dress for a busy schedule is a huge plus.

Aside from choosing the right fashion pieces to wear, you also need to pair those pieces with the right accessories. Only then can you stay stylish and comfortable throughout the day, all without the usual hassles of looking fashionable. These fashion tips will help you achieve just that.

The Bag You Carry Is Everything

The bag you choose for the day is everything. You can go for a tote bag so that you can bring all of the essential items you need. Tote bags usually give the best balance between practicality and style. Yes, there are actually a lot of totes that are stylish and functional at the same time.

Alternatively, you can turn to backpacks or messenger bags, especially if you need to bring more gadgets and essentials than usual. To make things more practical, pick up a few smaller bags and bag organizers.

The latter is good for your cables, your chargers, and even your vaping gear. Mt Baker Vapor has a great set of tips and tricks on how to travel with your mod. You will find that having a small bag for your vaping gear really helps to keep you organized.

Don’t Forget the Shoes

Shoes are always tricky when you want to balance between looking fashionable and staying active throughout the day. Ideally, you want a pair of gorgeous high heels to better support your look. Unfortunately, high heels aren’t the most comfortable type of shoes to wear all day.

There are a few ways around this issue. The first – and the obvious – solution is bringing more than one pair of shoes and alternating between them. You can slip on a pair of flats or comfortable sneakers when you don’t need to meet clients and switch back to heels when you do.

Another way to get around this issue is going for lower heels. You maintain that professional and sleek look, impress others around you, and still feel comfortable enough at the end of the day. Besides, the more you wear your heels, the more you get used to them.

Add Layers for Sophistication

When you are busy throughout the day, layers are your friend. You can turn a simple white shirt into multiple looks by adding or removing layers as you go along. A scarf, a blazer or a jacket, and even a vest are all great items for adding layers.

Wear the blazer and the scarf for a meeting with an important client. Lose the blazer and keep the scarf for an internal get-together with the rest of the team. You can return to the simple white shirt – with a few buttons undone – for a more casual night-out with colleagues.

Staying active all day doesn’t mean you have to look miserable at the end of the day. With these tips in mind, you can stay comfortable and avoid inconveniences while looking stunning throughout the day.

 

DreamDoll Exclusive Editorial: On Style, Developing Thick Skin, and Her Girl Crush Kylie Jenner

Happy Friday, Bombers and Bombshells!
We have a new Exclusive Editorial, just in time for Labor Day. Behold Bronx Bombshell Dreamdoll, photographed by Island Boi and styled by Mickey Boom for Fashion Bomb Daily .

We sat down with the rapper to talk about her new EP, Life in Plastic, common misconceptions about her, and style.

The 26-year-old, born Tabatha Robinson, first splashed onto our screens via Bad Girls Club, followed by stints on Love and Hip Hop. Though she has been known to have a fiery temper, she says, “I feel like people judge me from IG or the snippets they see on TV when in real life I’m such a funny, cool and down to Earth girl.”

The constant scrutiny led her to log off from her Instagram account, with all of its 1.4 million followers. She confessed, “As a public figure your life is under a microscope. There’s the constant chatter, opinions, questions…so at times you just need a break. I’ve grown from it by developing thick skin. I no longer give a damn about what people say. “ She takes cues from her Girl Crush, Kylie Jenner. She explains, “She is a boss! She has her own brand makes her own money & she don’t care what anyone has to say about her!”

As far as fashion is concerned, she loves brands like Balenciaga and Vetements. She says, “I would say my style is versatile…I tend to dress according to my mood. My style is mainly fun, cute and girlie….I love to wear PINK!” For this shoot, stylist Mickey Boom said, “I chose to focus on luxury brands, with an international barometer of taste and sophistication, such as Sienna Li, Saku, WeAnnaBe, and Victoria Hayes. For the footwear, it was important to add Kendall Miles Designs to this editorial. Like Dream, Kendall Miles is a young African American business woman inspiring other young women to reach for the stars.”

In closing, be sure to pick up her EP, Life in Plastic 2. She says, “It was inspired by my personal journey. It’s basically me working on me…showing the growth through the music and talking about past relationships and becoming a better woman. I open up even more on this project and let everyone in on my story’s highs and lows!”

Claire’s Life: The Ubiquitous Expo in D.C. with Cynthia Bailey, Brandi Harvey, Germaine Leftridge, Arian Simone, and More!

Happy Tuesday, folks!
This past weekend, I was graciously invited by Germaine Leftridge to participate in Ubiquitous Expo, a forum focused on haircare for relaxed and natural Bombshells.

I participated on a panel called “Defining U,” alongside superstar Bombshells Angela Gates, Director of the Office of Cable Television, Film, Music and Entertainment & Interim Director of the Commission on the Arts and Humanties for the District of Columbia, Arian Simone, Celebrity Publicist, Author of Founder & CEO of Fearless Brand and Magazine, Brandi Harvey, National and International Speaker and Founder of Beyond Her, Cynthia Bailey, Model, Actress, Entrepreneur and Reality Television Personality, and Resa B. Luster, Brand Manager at Large, Luster Products, Inc.

We spoke about how we define this point in our lives, how we overcome adversities, and what impression we’d want people to have of us.

One impression I wanted people to have of me: that I was classy, smart, and humble. I encouraged many Bombshells in attendance to approach me with questions, because I’m all about collaboration over competition. I enjoyed meeting so many of you after speaking!


Another highlight of the day: giving three attendees makeovers with Arian Simone. I haven’t done a makeover in quite some time, but it was fun to encourage the ladies chosen to have fun with hair, makeup, and clothes. We need to do these more often!



After appearing on stage, I grabbed pix with some of my co-panelists.


Then it was time to come home!

I’ll admit it: I have a thing for suits. But I love fun suits in sequins, bold colors, and with unexpected pops (like leopard).

Now I’m back in NYC and preparing for Fashion Week!
Be sure to RSVP to the fashion show I am hosting on September 9th here.

Ubiquitous Expo is a lot of fun, and a must attend for anyone obsessed with hair, makeup, and skin. Save the date for the next, and find out more info on Instagram @Ubiquitous_Expo.
