My People, there is power in the pen. I decided to go back and read my journal from about two years ago, and what amazed me was the fact that I am currently living out some of the goals that were written in my journal. There’s something about reading or writing that triggers your subconscious brain. When you write your goals down and read them over and over, your subconscious brain begins to think about these goals more actively – which in turn causes you to begin working towards them. Writing your goals down makes them become clear and tangible. It gives you a clear picture of what you want, it will push you to take action, and it will allow you to see your progress.
I write down whatever I want whether it’s big or small. I place my list of goals in a notebook that I carry with me 90% of the time or on a computer or mirror so that I can continuously see them. I constantly refer back to my list of goals to make sure I’m on track or to revise them, and then I execute a plan to accomplish them.
I challenge all of you to get a piece of paper out and write your goals down. No matter if they are big or small, weird or funny – write them down, believe that you can accomplish them, read them over and over, and work towards them. The goals you write down won’t be accomplished over night, but I bet you sooner or later you’ll see yourself getting closer and closer to what you’ve written down if you take action.
Write your life!
Happy Monday Positive Thinkers!

1. Michelle Williams in Ezé Azénabor: 19,691
Michelle has been killing the style scene as of late! Her stylist J.Bolin has been coming out swinging with back to back stunners. She wore this gown by Ezé Azénabor to Mrs. Tina Lawson’s Wearable Art gala. This was the perfect dress to accentuate her petite frame. Intricate designs on the dress fit the theme as it was certainly a work of art. The plunging neckline allowed her to give just the right amount of sass!
Pregnant or not, we all know Beyonce was not about to be outdone at her mama’s event. She was a goddess in a red Stella dress that hugged her in all the right places. The statement piece was without a doubt the floral crown she adorned which paid homage to the theme of the night. Her look was simply effortless.
3. Nicole Murphy in Fashionva: 13,827
Seeing Nicole Murphy stunt on us youngin’s just gives me all types of hope. Talk about body goals! She was slaying in this Fashionova set. How many mom’s do you see walking around looking this good running errands? Trust me guys, we love her just as much as you do.
4. Angela Bassett in Christian Siriano: 12,590
Angela Bassett rocked out in this jumpsuit by Christian Siriano. To be honest, I didn’t even notice her bad ass bob until after the fact. Love the asymmetrical twist! Whenever there’s a fabulous short hair do involved, a design that shows off the shoulders is always the way to go. Kudos to her glam team for hitting this look on the nail!
5. Black Chyna in House of CB: 6,277
Talk about a snapback! Dream’s mama, Blac Chyna, showed out on the red carpet in a striped choker dress by House of CB. The form fitting number hit all the curves. I especially love how the neutral hues of the dress go perfectly with her skin tone. This was definitely a winning look!
Well, there you have it! Who do you think had the best look?

Thoughts on her ‘fit?
Hey Guys!
So sorry for the lack of Bombshell posts this week. My laptop was ruined at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. I’ve been traveling around a TON so haven’t had time to get to it, or to Bombshells. Submissions are few and far between, but Malikah from New York certainly stood out.
She writes, “My style is a mix of sporty and glam, always with feminine details.”
Great pictures! I wish we could have seen more!
Guess I’ll have to scolpe out more flix at Malikahkelly.com and instagram.com/malikahkelly.

Hey guys! Claire is currently laptop-less since her #ConvoswithClaireATL. Long story short, a housekeeper at the Marriott spilled water on it while she was out and ka-BOOM that was all she wrote! Thus, the fashion bomb team aka dream team is in full effect; making sure things are running smoothly in the interim. Since she’ll be giving a lecture at MIT this week, Claire thought it fitting to have a Conversations with Claire in Boston. Of course I did not oblige, as I myself am a Bostonian! I am pleased to be moderating what I’m sure will be a delightful conversation.
This will be Claire’s first ever event in Boston so now is the time for you Bostonians and New Englanders to show up and show out in your best. If you’re not familiar with Conversations with Claire, it’s an opportunity to hear about her trials, tribulations, and triumphs as she navigated the fashion industry by paving her own lane with Fashion Bomb Daily. I recently attended the one in New York moderated by June Ambrose and let me tell you, it was riveting!
Claire opened up about intimate moments in her book, The Bomb Life, that no one would know otherwise, and offered salient advice to those who aspire to follow in her foot steps and get the inside scoop on how to survive being an entrepreneur. If you are starting your own brand and want nothing more than to leave that 9-5 to put your dreams to action, this event is not one to miss!
After the conversation, the floor will open up for guests to ask Claire any burning questions. Whether it be a question about being an entrepreneur or how she survived a rain storm in her apartment in Paris due to a caved in ceiling, no question is too much to ask.
To accompany the bottomless drinks as we mix and mingle, delicious bites will be provided by the infamous ZAZ restaurant. If you’re not familiar, do yourself a favor and get familiar. Chef Olrie and his team serve some of the best food in town.
To get your tickets for what’s sure to be the talk of town, go to convoswithclaireboston.eventbrite.com to purchase tickets.

Given the month we’ve had of all things Destiny’s Child related, it’s only right we highlight this beauty. Despite the girl group’s disbandment, Michelle Williams has carved out quite the career for herself. Award winning gospel artist, Broadway actress, philanthropist, she seems to do it all. Now, she’s adding style savant to this list.
When Williams first began strutting the path toward defining her look, Bodycon dresses were her go-tos, paired with platform pumps. Because of her long, gamine legs, however, the shoes seemed to weigh her down.
As time progressed, the platform shoe progressed into a sleeker pump or strappy sandal. She also began experimenting with different textures like lace and sequins on party dresses and brocade on frocks.
Bright citrine colors like yellow and peach in maxi dresses exude her effulgent and sunny personality.
A fan of eye catching patterns, whether striped, animal printed or something abstract, she enjoys letting the garments speak for themselves, while keeping hair, makeup and accessories to the minimum.
Who doesn’t love a good jumpsuit? Denim, peplum, or lace, Michelle knows it’s always a good idea, especially when you don’t want the feel of constriction with a dress.
As of late, she’s teamed up with celebrity stylist J. Bolin, who is well known and highly recommended in the gospel arena. Serving looks by Self Portrait and Levenity, high fashion is on the menu for Michelle in 2017, and we can’t wait for more!
So here’s to Michelle Williams. A woman of talent, grace, class, and faith who will never let a naysayer dim her light. She sang it best. “When Jesus says yes, nobody can say no!” We couldn’t agree more!
