bebe + girls night out

 

 

Hi loves.  I hope ya’ll had a great weekend!  My weekend was very chilled.  Baby M had to get a small procedure done at Children’s Hospital last week.  Even though the procedure wasn’t anything serious, as a Mommy, I was a wreck!!!  Children’s Hospital was AWESOME and they made the Hubs and I us feel so much at ease.  The nurses were all so very nice.  I mean they were just all so accomodating and so very very attentive to our needs, concerns, and questions.  Anyway, Baby M is doing great and healing perfectly.  What should have taken 10 days, has only taken less than a week. My baby is a CHAMP! lol

A few weeks ago, my girl Eboni, hosted a Girls Night Out at Bebe.  It was a much needed GNO and was so much fun!  We even rode in a limo to the event!  WOW!!

 I wanted to wear comfortable shoes because I just wasn’t feeling up to wearing heels.  I found these really cute boots at TJ Maxx while browsing.  They are super comfy and stylish too.  I love the detail, thats what sold me!   I’m still rocking the Au Natural.  I must say, I am really loving it guys.  I am embracing my curls and I have stocked up on all kinds of products.  So far, everything I have bought, has done my hair good.  My newest purchase is Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.  OMG, when I tell you I LOVE THIS STUFF… I mean it!!!   I am going to do a video… I so want to share everything to all you other  natural hair virgins.  I am missing my straight hair so I think I will go ahead and make me a hair appt and wear my hair straight for a week or two.  LOL LOL

I am so ready for Thursday to get here.  I usually go home to Ohio, but this year I am staying here in Atlanta.  I’m cooking a BIG dinner.  I’m not really a fan of Turkey so we just bought a fresh Turkey breast that the Hubs will fry.  If you have never had a fried Turkey, you do not know what you are missing.  I’m also making Greens, Mac&Cheese, Stuffing (yes, HOMEMADE), & Sweet Potatoes. I’m also making a Peach Cobbler and I bought a Sweet Potatoe pie.  I’ve got skillz but I haven’t ventured to make a sweet potatoe pie just yet…maybe next year! hahaha I am ready to EAT EAT EAT!!!

Back to School

 

Hi loves!  How has your week been going so far?  It’s been going great for me.  I am finally able to catch up on all my favorite blogs, I am so behind and still have a lot to catch up on.  So the kids started back to school a few weeks ago.  My daughter is a Senior this year… Woooo Hooo!  That means Prom, Sr Pictures, Sr Dues, etc etc.  She’s already been online searching for Prom dresses.  LOL 

Colored denim is still a huge trend as well as printed denim.  I was on the hunt for leopard pants and finally came across a pair today online and orders those babies asap!!!  This is going to be a quickie post because its almost time for me to nurse my guy.

How fabulous is this disco ball rose gold plated necklace?  Isn’t it GORGE?!?!?  I wore it and received so many compliments.  If interested, you can purchase it here. 

I wore this outfit for a ladies night out with my mom and some other ladies from my mom’s congregation.  It was fun and the food was so good.  We all went to Bonefish restaurant.  I never been, but was very happy with the menu choice,  I ordered a special dish on the menu and it wasn’t really good but the chocolate brownie dessert I ordered, made up for it!   I toned down the colored denim by going neutral on top.  Unless you are going to do color-blocking, you should go neutral on pieces that you are pairing with the colored denim.  Ok, baby is calling for mommy… gotta run.  

Here is a quick photo of my guy… he was ready for bed while I was heading out.  Isn’t he just tooo cute?!?!?!  LOL

P.S.  I’ve linked up with Everybody Everywear… Be sure to head over to check out the other Back To School looks!!! 

Are you still rocking colored denim??

FNO 2012

 

 

*waving*  HELLOOOOOO loves!!  I tell you, I am sooo happy to be back!  I missed ya’ll so so much!  As you can see, I’m no longer preggo!!  I had a beautiful baby boy on June 24th and I have been devoting my life strictly to him.  He’s such a JOY and is oh so cute… I just can’t stop stealing kisses from him.  hahaha  I’ll be sure to share pictures of his very soon.  If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ve already seen my little man! 

OK, so yesterday was Fashion’s Night Out.  It was my first event since having my son.  I had a ball.  The BFF’s also known as Blog Fab Fashionistas, had an awesome event where they hopped from store to store at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza.  I didn’t make it to Lenox but arrived just in time to Phipps to hit up Lilly Pulitzer where they had a fabulous Pink Lemonade Mohito popsicles (yes it was non-alcoholic).  Then we proceeded to Belk where we walked the red carpet and took tons of pictures and we ended our night at Twist where we all laughed, ate and just had a FUN Time.

Vitamin Water Inspired Fashion Show

Last week, I attended the Vitamin Water Inspired Fashion Show at Whiskey Blue.  It was a bit crowded…well it was  WAY crowded and barely room to even move.  LOL  I only was able to get a few shots from the show.  I met up with Eboni, Jai, Adrienne and Breck.  We probably stayed about an hour, long enough to get  a glimpse of the show, mingle & get drinks!  After the event we walked across the street  to Maggiano’s for dinner.

 Look who we ran into… It’s the GORG Kristen of Lily Kai.  Be sure to check out her Vintage Boutique.

  Shoeper Shoe Challenge…  #28…71 more to go

 Let’s talk about the outfit…. The lace top I have had F.O.R.E.V.E.R.  I don’t even remember when or where I bought it,  that’s just how long I’ve had it. LOL  The shorts I got from H&M last Winter.  I wore them back in March here with tights.  Now lets really talk about the SHOES!!!!!!!!  These shoes are sooo FAB.  The best part is the mini pink scull that dangles from the bow.  I ordered them from Just Fab, and they are from the Iron Fist Collection (Just Fab calls it  “fabulous with an edge“).  They are the “INGRID’S”.    The night of this event they were sitting at my front door just waiting for me to open.  When I opened the box, it was instant love at first sight. LOL  That’s when I just knew I was DEF wearing these babies to the event and the outfit I just sorta threw together around the shoes. hahahahha  Ya’ll know I love fashion, I even adore clothes…but I CRAVE shoes!! 

 

Here are the few shots that I was able to get from the Fashion Show….

Happy Tuesday lovelies!!!  What an awesome weekend it was!!  Did you all have a FAB weekend too?  The Fashionable Atlanta Blogger Meetup was Saturday and it was a HUGE success.  I met so many lovely ladies and it was so great to finally meet some of the FAB Bloggers that I’ve met through the blogosphere.  Talk about a room full of women that live, think and breathe…  ALL THINGS FASH!ON.  I’ll talk more about it later, but be sure to head over to the FASHIONABLE ATLANTA Facebook page to view some of the pictures uploaded by many of the bloggers in attendance!  I had so much fun in being apart of planning this FAB event!! 

Now to the OUTFIT, I wore this outfit yesterday.  It was actually nice throughout the morning, then the rain hit about 1:00pm and stopped just long enough for me to get these shots in.  Before I was done, the sky became grey again and the rain started again.  By the time I left the office, the sky was back cleared and the sun was shining its beautiful face again.  BUT, then around 7pm, it POURED again and pretty much stayed that way all night. LOL  I’m just happy the sky cleared up long enough for me to take these shots. LOL

 
 
  

I love this jumpsuit.  I actually have had it a couple years, but it never gets old to me.  I don’t even remember where I bought it.  I think at a random flea market, but I just can’t remember.  It’s so comfy and I love how I can dress it up AND wear it casual too.  I love versatile clothing, if you haven’t realized that already. LOL

I thought this picture turned out so cool.  I look like I’m glowing!!!  LOL  I guess the lighting and the way the sun was beaming on me, left this cool effect. Hubby says, my guardian angel was hovering over me!!  **smiles**

Now lets get to the shoes… You ALL know how I feel about “Red Bottoms” aka Christian Louboutins.  My motto is: Who says DIAMONDS are a girls best friend.. give me Louboutins!!!!!   I love ’em and I think every woman should splurge atleast ONCE just to have a pair in their closet.  LOL LOL  These are my only pair, but I will be getting another pair, SOON! hehehe  HOPEFULLY, anyway! hahhaha 

Have a Fabulous week lovelies!!!  SMOOCHES!!!!
