Recently we caught up with everyone’s favorite fashionista, Claire Sulmers of Fashion Bomb Daily. We got to pick her brain about spring trends, adding color to your office attire and beauty. She also gave us the 411 on her collaboration with Dark and Lovely for their #LoveMyColor campaign. Get the deets on spring fashion and how Claire is helping empower women to celebrate their diversity and individuality with Dark and Lovely below.
Spring has finally sprung in New York City. What are some of the must-wear colors of the season we should add to our wardrobe?
My go to colors of the season are cobalt blue, cherry red, canary yellow, bright white and off white.
For women who work in a more corporate environment, how can they incorporate color into their everyday looks?
Adding color to your wardrobe isn't as hard as most people think. It can be as easy as adding a subtly pop of color. You can achieve this with your shoes, a purse, and jewelry such as earrings and a necklace.
Let’s talk beauty. How do you care for your beautiful blonde locs during the spring/summer months?
With locs I am constantly able to switch up my hair. During the spring/summer I love updos. It's important to keep my hair hydrated during this time so I use Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Moisture L.O.C. Super Quench Leave In Spray to add any moisture lost during the week. I also condition my hair with Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Moisture L.O.C. Deep Conditioning Delight. The conditioner is great because it keeps my hair moisturized and soft.
The #LoveMyColor campaign is so amazing because it puts women of color in the forefront,” says Claire Sulmers, Editor-in-Chief, FashionBombDaily.com and Dark and Lovely’s campaign ambassador. “It celebrates the vibrant colors that we possess—from our hair colors to the colors of the shoes we wear. Color is a way of showing our personality, so there was no hesitation for me to show it off with Dark and Lovely!
What are some of your favorite hair color trends?
Of course I love blondes but I also like shades of red. Some of my favorite hairstyle trends include: natural fros, braided updos, and of course any loc style!
Tell us about your collaboration with Dark and Lovely for their #LoveMyColor campaign.
Our collaboration kicked off when I was invited as a special guest of Dark and Lovely to Black Girls Rock! The night was so electric and full of Black Girl Magic that we knew we needed to work together again. I'm known for my blonde locs, so I thought it was a great fit to partner for their new Love My Color campaign! Through this campaign, I hope to encourage Bombers and Bombshells to embrace all their beautiful colors, from their hair to the skin and beyond!
