Happy Monday, guys!
This weekend, I had the distinct pleasure of having a small Conversations with Claire event at Houston’s ModChic boutique (6125 Kirby Dr, West University Place, TX 77005)!
I met so many great Bombshells, including Nneka from Houston! Behold her submission below:
“I’m Nneka, a lawyer and the Queen of Sleeves (I don’t do sleeveless!).”
” I’m a Nigerian-American living in Houston with a love for classic style with a modern twist.”
” From mixing prints to bold colors and statement pieces, my style speaks of my heritage and being a 21st-century working woman.”
Lovely! Thank you so much for your submission. Yes to sleeves!

This past weekend, celebrities and half the nation stampeded to Indio, California to celebrate all things artsy and groovy at the Coachella Festival. This popular festival never disappoints when it comes to star sightings, great entertainment, and most importantly fashion. One thing we love about Coachella is that it’s an eclectic fashion event where dressing like a hippie is in style. You can catch anything from swimsuits to purple fur coats at this festival. No matter how simple or extreme the look is, it fits right in.
Last week, we showed you how Rihanna stole the show at Coachella in her Gucci Diamond Encrusted leotard and how Kylie Jenner posed at the festival in a TLZ L’FEMME Snakeskin set. Now it’s time to show you how our readers took on this fun event in style. Check it out below.
Nadra @nadrabunny was festival-ready in this off-the-shoulder crop top, black, flared ankle pants, and yellow booties. This look is a genius style move for an event like Coachella!
Monjay @fashionjunkiie4 looked cool and casual in this flower print kimono and circular sunnies. Groovy look Monjay!
Tannera @tgeorge26, styled by Adrienne @coldfashioned, took the ruffle route for the festival in a rust colored dress paired with black booties. Cute Tannera!
Tan @_sunkissedtan was feeling the Coachella spirit in this print kimono, bikini top, and platform sneakers. Dope!
Chanel @_chanelvintage was bomb and bold wearing bikini bottoms under a leather, caged skirt belt along with a Metallica crop top. Get it girl!
Simple and sexy was Ana’s @anaponce5 style vibe for Coachella as she opted for a distressed tee by Latoya @Ltd_creations, black denim shorts on top of fishnets and Van sneakers. I’m digging it Ana!
All of these ladies are Coachella-approved! They definitely gave the celebrities a run for their money! Which Coachella style above is your favorite and why?
Go ahead and begin living the life you want to live…..IN YOUR HEAD. The mind is so powerful that if you visualize yourself in the place you want to be, and you truly believe and think you belong in that place – that’s where you’ll eventually end up in due time.
There’s a book by John Assaraf titled The Answer that touches on how to grow a business, achieve financial freedom, and live an extraordinary life by applying the law of attraction to your world. The law of attraction simple means reprogramming your conscious brain to envision positive things for your life. The more you envision these positive things, the more your subconscious brain is persuaded. As a result, you will automatically work hard towards what you believe you should have, and positive things will come.
In this book, Assaraf lists five key elements that must be in place in order to achieve major success.
You must find something that stirs your soul.
You must become excellent at it.
You must recondition your mind to believe you can have it and achieve it.
You must understand how to make money at it.
You must take daily action.
Write these five things down, read them constantly and begin applying them to your life. Change your mindset and the rest will follow.
