A Downtown Casual Take on an all Neutral Look

6. He Loved to Watch Her Walk Away

The corner of the green velvet couch at her favorite hotel somewhere downtown became her new home away from home. 

She looked so beautiful when she walked away from him. A palpable unattainability exuded from her strides.

She read somewhere that to love was to sacrifice. She wondered what she had sacrificed when she loved only herself. That Tuesday, after another night away from him, the older counsel spoke the truth over burrata and wine. They told her their dreams and regrets, mistakes and heartbreaks. Don't be afraid to wonder and wander. To stop dreaming would be to stop living. 

The Look: GUCCI SUADE SKIRT, TOPSHOP TOP, AMERICAN APPAREL TRENCH COAT, MIU MIU PINK CROSSBODY, MISSONI + CONVERSE

60 Degree New York Black Friday

|...Chunky, Affordable, Off the Shoulder Knits|

Black Friday shopping has never really been my thing. So I spent this Black Friday having coffee in the East Village with friends, in the sun, outside of my favorite cafe, 9th Street Espresso. It was 64 degrees here in the East Village, and a really quiet day in the city. I always wonder where everyone is when the city is so quiet. It feels surreal. This was my first Thanksgiving away from my family, and a few close friends and I went to a loft party in Soho. There were floor to ceiling windows that you walked through to get out to the huge fire escape, that overlooked Greene Street, with a perfect view of freedom tower. We laughed all night, enjoyed each other, and really realized how lucky we all are to being growing and dreaming in the best city in the world.  

Peace & Love, Claire

The Air 

I'm beyond inspired by beautiful coffee table books. There is something so decadent about a large, heavy, covered book, filled with someones amazing life stories. Whenever I'm feeling a lack of inspiration, opening up the Kate Moss or Tom Ford books always stimulates my mind. Beauty is what makes my mind turn, conventional, unconventional beauty is what interests me. People and their quarks is what makes things interesting. xxxC

Gyms Can Be Weird; The Tale Of My Stalker

The Style | Humor...But Not Really 

Photo Anouk Morgan I Wore Calvin Klein + Vintage Levis Overalls 

Modeling is now back in my life, as you well know, so, I spend 6 nights a week at the Equinox on 19th street. There’s a lot going on in there that feels a little off; firstly, my stalker. Yes, I said stalker. A 70 year old man has decided that I am his new Silence Of The Lambs pray, and in the most timely manor, waits at approximately 8:45 “stretching,” outside the woman’s locker room, to talk before I leave to go HOME TO MY BEAUTIFUL BOYFRIEND, (just in case he reads this). I have a best blond friend, who recently came as my guest, and had the pleasure of meeting my stalker. I clearly said under no circumstances do we stop for this man, he could say that the gym is on fire, we were to keep walking. It did not go down as planned. “Claire, I see you, come back here and say hello,” he yelled at my friend and I. Again, I repeat blond friend, then says, “Hi it’s her birthday.” The thing is, there are universal stalker rules. Firstly, you tell you’re stalker NOTHING ABOUT YOURSELF. What was weird, was he then said, “How old are you turning, 16?” This is bad for 2 reasons. First, if I was turning 16, why are you, a 70 year old man, talking to me? Secondly, do I look SOOOO much older than 16, it’s the most implausible age I could be? …insult. The whole thing was just bad. Gyms are for sweating, steaming, and going home. I do not want to be spoken to unless I have my most feared nightmare take place, an Elliptical accident. If you are to witness this, please assist me quietly and non-judgmentally to the nearest cab, and or hospital.

Thank You, Claire.
