Last week I attended the US Weekly party at Aurum Lounge. I had so much FUN!! I would have to say, this has been the almost best event I’ve been to this year (the BEST was the Fashionable Atlanta Bloggers Meet-Up..haha). I met up with other Fashionable ATL bloggers, seen in the picture above and below. The Moscato and Red Wine was flowing all night along with some light h’orderves. The photographers were so friendly and didn’t hesitate to ask to help them with a shot. Who knows, you may see us in US Weekly Mag sometime soon! That would be NIIIICE! The DJ was on point and we danced and danced and danced. It was a FAB time.
So, lets talk about the DRESS!! I wore this dress one other time for NYE 2008. Yes, almost 4 years ago. I think it still looks pretty Haute and I love it just as much now as I did when I purchased it from Bebe. It’s been hanging in the back of my closet, so I thought what perfect time to wear it again…to this FAB US Weekly party. It was perfect for the evening and don’t you just LOVE the color???!?!? I accessorized it with a leopard belt, gold jewelry and nude pumps. VOILA! I got tons of compliments. You think I can pull it out my closet in another 4 years???????? LOL
Everyone has been asking me how I slicked my hair down so good and into a BUN! OK, first I have a confession… the bun is a piece that I purchased from the beauty supply store for $7.99. I’m in that in between stage with my hair because I am trying to grow it back out. I miss wearing my messy updos and buns. My hair grows pretty fast so by this time next year, it will be way longer!! I’m hoping anyway! LOL My stylist, Terion, was out of town for his birthday so I just had to play it up all by myself. I love Paul Mitchell Foaming Pomade. This is some goooood stuff. NO, this is some grrrrrrreat stuff! I have natural hair so its always hard to slick my hair down into a smooth,tight ponytail. This stuff does the trick!! Try it and see…

That’s cool you got to meet so many other bloggers too and I gotta admit I would never guess that about your bun. I want to buy one now, I spend so much time trying to do that and your hair looks perfect and so chic with your dress. The heels are hot too!

Thanks for your sweet comment
Thanks so much babes!! I am loving your blog too… so glad I found it today!
The look is dope. That green dress makes me happy. If people need another “slick down” suggestion; I use Garnier Fructis Curl Sculpting gel and for my wild mane it does the trick
Thank you doll. I will DEF have to try that Garnier Fructis out too!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and leaving a comment. I appreciate it. I’m soooo sorry for your loss too, I’m praying for you and your family babes. I’m a new follower of your blog too, I subscribed.
That dress is so cute & it fits you perfectly. I love the leopard print as an accent. Great Idea!!! Yellow is my favorite color & I’ve never considered accessorizing with leopard print. Trying it soon!!!
Heeeeeey Deborah!!!!! I’m so glad you stopped by! Hubby and I have to get back soon to hear your beautiful voice again!!!!
Hello Charee, Hope to see you both soon!!! Have a great day!!
You look GREAT! YOU are wearing that dress! I need to get back to that size so I can get to wear dresses like that again. Green is my favorite color and the color looks great on you
So elegant! Love it!!
