Happy Monday, Bombers and Bombshells!
As I type, I am staring at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis Missouri! Yesterday, I gave a keynote at St. Louis Women who Brunch! The day prior, I had a book signing at Nesh NYC (15 Gansevoort Street), with a conversation moderated by June Ambrose.



Guests sipped Belaire mimosas and nibbled on treats by Chef Jeff, all the while indulging in any nuggets of wisdom June and I had to impart about the fashion industry, entrepreneurship, and life.

Tamiko White, who, along with Nesh owner, Bree Chambers opened the space to us, remarked that ‘God was in the room.’ I couldn’t agree more. If someone had a question about their next step or had fear in their hearts about fulfilling GOD’s purpose for them, they received direction, advice, and support.

June and I are not life coaches and don’t profess to be life experts, but one thing we have in common is that we both left corporate environments and stepped out on faith to live the life we chose. My only hope is that our courage and drive inspire others to follow their dreams. We want everyone to win!

You guys came armed with great questions, and also fly outfits!

Black and white with sheer and fringed elements were on tap for this fashionista.

Fringe is certainly in, as witnessed by this attendees fringed jeans.

A handful of Fashion Bombers did come to slay! I say yes to everything!

A floral kimono was the perfect accent to rose chrome sneakers.

This Bombshell stopped traffic in gray tones.

Fashion Bomb Daily staffers came to represent! One of our latest additions, Cassandre, will be handling interviews and exclusive content! She killed it in a black crop top, leather jacket, reflective sunnies, and a pleated metallic skirt.

Our senior writer, Marsha, worked a printed set.

We mostly communicate via email and GroupMe, so they were happy to finally meet!

And speaking of Group, I grabbed one with staff members Cassandre and Marsha, along with Creative Director Kelley Carter.

We are small, but scrappy, and growing at a fevered clip. As I run around, these ladies keep everything running!
At any rate, it was a fun time!

Thank you to everyone who came, purchased a book, and offered a gift. I appreciate you!

Thank you to June for moderating, and to Tamiko and Bree (not pictured) for opening Nesh’s doors to us!

Lastly, thank you to Chef Jeff, Belaire, Ampoé, and Cantu for providing treats and eats for our guests.

Next stop? LA for Cocktails with Claire x Ty Hunter. We’re gonna have some Bomb panelists and special guests. Stay tuned for the reveal later today. Get your tickets here.

Selena Gomez filmed a PSA in LA clad in denim pants, a white tee shirt and a $995 Coach Camo Rose Varsity Jacket:

 

Graffiti-inspired scribbles toughen up the Camo Rose print on this varsity jacket. The satiny piece is finished with buttery leather trim and sporty stripes, while the embroidered message on the back celebrates rebellious girl-gang style.

Such a cute look!  Very simple yet stylish.  I’d splurge on this piece.

If you feel the same, you can purchase here for $995.

What do you think? Would you splurge?

Kim Kardashian stepped out in LA clad in a Fall 2017 Off White coat and Fall 2017 Yeezy thigh-high boots:

The floor-length over sized cream colored coat features a tie at the waist.

She paired her Off White coat with a cream colored off the shoulder dress and Yeezy Fall 2017 thigh-high python print boots.

Definitely a cute look for the Fall.  I imagine the LA weather is a bit too warm for such a heavy coat.

What do you think?  Are you into Kim’s ensemble?

 

 

Hot! or Hmm… Kim Kardashian’s LA Off White Fall 2017 Coat and Yeezy Fall 2017 Boots

Yes Kim! She can do no wrong

No thanks! Too hot for that!

Happy Thursday, folks!
I’m happy to announce that Cocktails with Claire is headed to the West Coast!

Yes, it feels like it’s been a long time coming, but we are finally headed to the Golden State!
LA ladies and gents, set your calendars for Saturday April 1st for a fun infused fete, co -hosted by Ty Hunter.

It all goes down at the swanky Riviera 31 at the Sofitel Beverly Hills (8555 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048). The daytime event will include an Ask Claire session and a Breaking into Celebrity Fashion Styling Panel (panelists to be announced soon). The evening event will include dancing, drinks, eats, and lots of fun! Get your tickets at CWCTYLA.eventbrite.com.

And I’ll actually be staying on the West Coast for 2 weeks, getting some relaxation in, along with getting some work done (we might have a No Basics Brunch while we’re there).
But then on Saturday April 15th, I’ll be in San Francisco, for my very first Cocktails with Claire SFO:

I’ll see you Bay Area Bombshells at HUE SF at 447 Broadway from 3-7pm! We’ll also have a panel, vendors, and fun! Get your tickets at CWCSF.Eventbrite.com.
With all this snow and cold, I can’t wait to feel that California sun!
Also, please believe, we have stops planned at cities we’ve been to before (Atlanta, D.C., New York), along with a few new cities for good measure (Houston, Boston, stand up!). Behold, a few tentative dates below:

All of this fabulosity is brought to you by Toyota, Cantu, Urban Skin RX, and Rayar Jeans.

We are not having vendors in LA, but we are looking for gift bag sponsorship, and are open to cool ways we can incorporate your brand in our festivities (photo booth, anyone?)! Please email events@FashionBombDaily.com for more info.
Smootches!

Take a quick look back and reflect on the most ‘liked’ looks, according to Instagram:

This is how you age gracefully. Jane Fonda looked lovely at the premiere of Grace and Frankie in a mint Elie Saab jumpsuit that complemented her eye color, along with Yossi Harari jewelry. She better slay!

5. Jennifer Lopez in Balmain: 6,005 Likes

No look of the week could ever be complete without a look by Jennifer Lopez! The entertainer opted for a sheer Balmain, one sleeved number for a daytime show. Though some said it was a bit much for daytime, you do what you want when you’re poppin!

That does it!
Who had the hottest look in your opinion?

Fan Bingbing was the belle of the ball at the 11th Asian Film Awards, slipping on an Elie Saab Spring 2017 Couture Blue Off the Shoulder Embellished Jumpsuit:
