Hey There Bombers and Bombshells!
If you’re home tonight, please tune into Centric TV’s the Round at 11pm!
I’ll be talking about strategy (and sleeping on tubs). Studio Museum of Harlem director Thelma Golden will be discussing Representation.
I was super nervous to film this, but am excited to see the final result!
I hope you enjoy.
Smootches!
Melanie Brown was a floral dream while out and about in L.A., clad in a $299 Fame and Partners Print Ruffle Maxi Gown in the classic pattern:
Her floral print maxi dress is crafted from a light georgette. It features thin straps, a v-neckline, cascading ruffles, and spaghetti straps that both crisscross and tie at the back.
Hot!
Get Mel’s dress here.
What do you think?
Happy Friday, folks!
I just landed in San Francisco–Cocktails with Claire SFO goes down tomorrow from 3-7. Hope to see you there (get your tickets here).
I decided to leave LA with a bang with a popping shopping part at DSquared2 on Rodeo Drive:
Guests sipped champagne, munched on macaroons, and tried on some of DSquared2’s hottest shoes and clothes.
A lot of fabulous people stopped by!
Erica Mena and her well dressed crew looked bomb in black and white.
Stylist Marko the Curator rocked a Hermes silk jacket. I need that!
Miss Jackson is a DSquared2 fan! She kept it cute in a white crop top, white jeans, and a DSquared2 jean jacket.
Amanda Seales kept it poppin in a velvet bodysuit and silver boots.
My co-host, celebrity stylist Prince Deonte, looked hot in an Adamist shirt, Topman jeans, and Balenciaga sneakers.
I laughed it up with celebrity stylist Bryon Javar, who wore a blue plaid shirt.
Torrei Hart came to shop! We grabbed a pic with Lil Mama, who showed off her abs in a black crop top and skirt.
As for me, I wore the brand’s $915 Tiger Flash sweater, leather shorts, and the brand’s lace up embellished sandals.
It was a fun time!
After generating all these fabulous sales, I’m thinking these shopping parties should have a charitable aspect. A portion of the proceeds can go to the Fashion Bomb Daily designers fund to help indie designers scale. What do you think?
Sounds like a cool project to plan for the LA move, no? While I pontificate on that, enjoy a video recap of the proceedings below:
What do you think?
Smootches!
*Check out Fashion Bomb Daily’s first shopping party at Te Casan ca 2008 here.
*See even more pix in the gallery above.
Chanel Iman looked every bit the model at TAO in Hollywood, flaunting her mile-long legs in a $298 h:ours Silva Willa Slip Dress:
Her silver mini dress features adjustable chain straps with lobster clasp closures and a draped neckline.
Great dress!
If you’re up for the splurge, get Chanel’s dress here.

It’s festival season and the Coachella vibes are well under way! Whether you’re a flower child, a rocker chick, or a lover of boho chic, get some outfit ideas on what to wear to this weekend’s Coachella festivities with today’s festival inspired style inspirations.
Opt for classic festival flare in an organza lace blouse paired with distressed denim shorts.
Suede ankle boots, a fringe bag, scarf adorned Panama hat, and mixed metal jewelry add a signature festival feel.
Create a 70s chic denim look in a pair of embroidered flared mid-rise jeans and a ruffle off-the-shoulder crop top.
Complete the look with a tassel-trim shoulder bag, braided platform sandals, oversize round-frame sunglasses, and sun burst tassel earrings.
Rock a crochet bikini top dressed with a pair of distressed denim shorts and a paisley embellished kimono.
Style the look with nude gladiator sandals, a fringe suede shoulder bag, rose color frames, and a flower crown headband.
Lastly, rock out in a cropped oversize band tee offset by a ruched-side faux leather mini skirt and a badge embroidered military jacket.
Add the finishing touch with a mini suede tassel shoulder bag, studded black ankle boots, a crystal-embellished bandana choker, and round-frame sunglasses.
What do you think? Are these looks Coachella approved?

I’m currently packing up my LA AirBNB and preparing to head out to San Francisco! I’ve never had a Cocktails with Claire in the Bay…hope to see you there (get your tickets at CWCSF.eventbrite.com).
At any rate, before I push off, behold the top five most liked looks of the week!
Without further ado…
1. Kelly Rowland in Robert Rodriguez, Mother Denim, and Tom Ford: 20,981 likes
Have you ever seen anyone slay as effortlessly as Kelly Rowland? A simple denim top, jeans, and Tom Ford heels, and over 20,000 over you clicked the double tap!
Denim on denim is always chic, but Kelly’s twist certainly made her stand out. Red lips and she topped the list. Bomb!
2. Gigi Hadid in Sally LaPointe Pre-Fall 2017: 10,059
Gigi Hadid stepped out in NYC wearing a grey sporty chic look by Sally Pointe. Yes, abs! Metallic pumps completed this monochromatic look. Slay on, Gigi!
3. Kim Kardashian in Versace: 6,636
Kim took a short break from the carpet post burglary, only come back to kill the game. The gold lurex Versace dress she wore to the Promise movie premiere in LA was simply stunning.
4. Mel B in a White Dress and Quay Sunglasses: 5,974 Likes
We don’t know the make of Mel B’s white dress, but we do know she’s been looking lovely after rumors of her divorce. Quay sunglasses blocked any negative energy. She looks great!
5. Michelle Rodriguez in Vivienne Westwood: 5,026 Likes
Michelle Rodriguez made her way onto our Most Liked List for the first time in a silvery Vivienne Westwood gown. The Fast and the Furious star sizzled at the movie’s most recent premiere. @IsaFromRsa wrote, “Her best look. Ever.”

It’s week 4 of working with & testing out Curél Hydra Therapy! And I’m sure a lot of you may have questions about how exactly this whole system works.
I spoke with a dermatologist to get to the bottom of why this new way of application is a great alternative to maintain fabulously flawless, hydrated skin.
I spoke with Dr. Michelle Henry (she makes a cameo in my video here) to discuss:
She said, “Ceramides are the vital building blocks to maintaining your skin’s moisture. They’re naturally present in healthy skin, but when they’re lost, skin becomes dry & damaged. That’s why I recommend Curél® HYDRA THERAPY WET SKIN MOISTURIZER. Its water-activated formula has an Advanced Ceramide Complex which penetrates to the source of dryness and helps to replenish your skin’s ceramide levels and ultimately repair the moisture barrier.”
Well, there you have it!
If you’d like to give Curel a try, visit here. Also, be sure to check out my video below (if you haven’t seen it already!).
First Lady Michelle Obama, Yara Shahidi, Taraji P. Henson, Camila Alves—Tracy Reese is no stranger to designing for powerful young ladies and women. Known for her signature dresses, she’s also been one of the leaders in the industry when it comes to putting real women on the runway, as well as becoming a champion for size inclusivity with her eponymous collection. Her latest endeavor is a collaboration with curvy online clothing brand Gwynnie Bee:
“People have asked for [these sizes for] years, almost since we started doing business at all, and traditional contemporary departments just go from 0 to 12 — it’s always been really frustrating,” Reese told Fashionista in an interview. “This is something I’ve been wanting to do for so long, and with Gwynnie Bee, what was so amazing is their technical expertise and their eye for fit for this range of customer is so spot-on.”
The brand and Reese aligned on a mix of styles that were pulled from Plenty by Tracy Reese Spring 2017, as well as designs that fit perfectly alongside Gwynnie Bee’s collection for the season. And the designer’s next move? Having a myriad of curvy sizes featured on contemporary floors. “I’m so heartened that she can go online with Gwynnie Bee and find our stuff, or come to this fantastic pop-up and try stuff on and get to know the brand,” she exclaimed.
Get the full Tracy Reese x Gwynnie Bee collection here.
