Lala Anthony kept warm in NYC, strutting through the streets in a $2,181 County of Milan Multicolor Round Collar Adela Coat and Gianvito Rossi Fall 2014 Grey Suede Anita Thigh High Boots:
Her wool coat boasts raw edges, a round collar, and a multicolor Navajo-blanket inspired print.
Her Western-inspired boots feature a pointed-toe silhouette and thigh-high length.
I love this look!
Lala’s boots have long sold-out, but you can get her coat here.

Cute and simple!

Today’s Fashion Bombshell is Janell from Washington D.C.:
She writes, “My style is a little all over place due to my business.”
“I want to always showcase my ability to style/dress anybody, so I dress appropriate for the occasion to showcase my skill set.”
“The only thing consistent is that every look is thrifted.”
“My personal aim is to be a ‘maximalist,’ but that type of style does not speak to everyone, so my style varies according to my message and the clientele I am trying to engage.”
Janell, I love your styling choices, especially your love for flowy pieces!

Happy Almost Thanksgiving, Bombers and Bombshells!
Last night, I was graciously invited to the Hawks vs. Pelicans game by my mentor, Kim Blackwell. We had great seats, right next to Kandi and Don Juan!
Gucci Mane was set to perform at half time, so his girlfriend, Keyshia Ka’oir was in the building. I finally got a chance to meet her, she is a sweetheart!
She was gracious enough to pose for a picture for our Instagram. She divulged that she was wearing a red fur Alexander McQueen coat. She kept the red tones going from head to toe.
Hot! or Hmm…?
After Gucci performed, he asked Keyshia to marry him!
It was pretty epic. Congrats to the couple!

With the sudden influx of musical artists and social media starlets in the past few years, having the ability to stand out among those in the crowd all boils down to talent, personality, and having the right look. Luckily for this week’s beauty crush, Tinashe, having all three seem to be working in her favor. Since she burst on the scene with her megahit song, “2 On”, the Kentucky native has been an unstoppable force, recently dropping a successful album, “Nightride”, collaborating with her idol, Britney Spears, and hosting E!’s red carpet at this year’s American Music Awards. And doing all this while showcasing gorgeous makeup and hair put us on notice.
Not one to go overboard with makeup, Tinashe seems to prefer colors close to her skin tone like soft browns and light pinks, especially on the eyes, lips and cheeks. Every now and then, though, she vamps things up with a red pout or a sultry smokey eye to liven up her look.
You tend to see a lot of female artists sport the same hairstyle at just about every red carpet, award show, or performance. But Tinashe goes against the grain. Whether she’s giving voluminous, cascading curls, a braided side-ponytail, or looking regal in an African printed headwrap, she takes risks and they usually pay off. And let’s face it. Rocking the same look repeatedly can become a little stale. So, here’s to this week’s beauty crush, Tinashe, for being a fearless risk-taker in both her music and her style. For more, spy our gallery above for our favorite beauty looks of Tinashe.
The 2016 Angel Ball was a star-studded affair for an amazing cause, with our favorite social media stars, supermodels, actresses, and media personalities in attendance.
Let’s get into the night’s looks!
Khloe Kardashian definitely looked angelic in a sheer Yousef Al-Jasmi gown with glamorous silver embellishment. Hot!
Ajak Deng flaunted her mile-long stems in a vibrant Sophie Theallet dress.
Christina Milian was a vision in a white Nicole Miller slip dress with a lace train and matching white fur. This was fab!
All-black was also on the agenda for Kourtney Kardashian, who slipped on a strapless, bustier-inspired Balmain beaut with a ruffle-detailed skirt and sultry, sheer panels.
Mom-ager Kris Jenner slipped on a black stunner for red carpet go-to Zuhair Murad. She’s never looked better.
Cindy Bruna looked every bit the supermodel in a white beaded Jonathan Simkhai cutout gown with a low-cut neckline.
A plunging neckline was on the agenda for Shanina Shaik, by way of her long-sleeve J.Mendel gown.
Selenis Leyva went glam in a silver, petal-embroidered Carmen Marc Valvo design.
Alicia Quarles went bold in a colorful, sleeveless look.
Model Jocelyn Chew was the belle of the ball in an embellished tulle Berta ensemble.
Who had your favorite look at the ball?
Hear ye, Hear ye: I’ve written a book!
The title? The Bomb Life. My Brand. My Terms. It’s part autobiography i.e. (Claire, how did you become a fashion writer?) + tips for those of you out there who would like to start an online platform like Fashion Bomb Daily.
Yesterday, I shot the cover with Derek Blanks. Latasha Wright worked magic on my makeup and Daniel Hawkins styled me in pieces by Marq by Marquette, Theory and more.
We took hundreds of shots and photographed 4 outfits, so this is just a sneak peek. The goal is to have the books ready for Cocktails with Claire New York on December 11th, so wish me luck!
Smootches!
