Pop the champagne and cue the confetti—The day is finally here!
Claire, you’re finally 21!
I couldn’t be luckier to have someone as radiant as you in my life. You bring warmth, laughter, and light to every moment we share. You have this incredible way of making the ordinary feel extraordinary. You turn the simplest days into unforgettable ones. Your energy is infectious, your kindness is unwavering, and your soul shines so brightly that it leaves an impact wherever you go. I am endlessly grateful for the joy, love, and inspiration you bring into my life, and I cannot wait to keep celebrating you, cherishing our friendship, and creating memories for many, many years to come.
Happy Birthday–with so much love from your forever roomie, Lilah
ON THE COVER: CLAIRE
A journalism student with a keen eye for fashion, an effortlessly cool aesthetic, and a talent for storytelling, Claire is taking the world by storm one article, Instagram post, and Blog story at a time.
Born and raised in Spring, Texas, Claire has spent the last few years making waves at the University of Texas at Austin, where she’s become a standout voice in arts and fashion journalism. Whether she’s covering the hottest trends abroad for The Sauce, bringing untold stories to life through her audio features, or working backstage at the hottest events, Claire is proving that she’s got what it takes to be a leading voice in the industry.
But let’s talk fashion—because Claire gets it. With a wardrobe that blends classic elegance with trendy flair, she’s the friend you always text before a big event because you know she’ll have the perfect outfit inspo. Her Instagram is a mood board of chic fits, city adventures, and just the right amount of mystery (seriously, how does she make everything look so effortlessly cool?).
And now, as she rings in her 21st year, the future is looking brighter than ever. What’s next for Claire? More stories, more runway moments, and maybe even a front-row seat at fashion week. Until then, we’ll be toasting to her success and eagerly awaiting her next big move.
