Bridesmaid Dresses You Can Wear Again

Last week while I was waiting on my hair stylist to start curling my hair I was shocked to hear how much one of her clients spent on her bridesmaid dress and shoes. She stated that she spent 180 on the dress alone and will never be able to wear the dress again. She spent 60 on the shoes that will be dyed to match the dress.  I can remember my experience spending over 100 on a bridesmaid dress that I never wore again and was inspired to find dresses that can be worn more than once. Here are my picks for bridesmaid dresses that could be worn more than once. Enjoy.

Primer experiment #2: Beauti Control's Secret Agent Color Primer

Love Love Love this primer. It goes on smooth and also makes your skin feel smooth. It helps your makeup stay on a little longer than normal.  I would totally recommend this primer to everyone. In order to get this product you have to order it from a Beauti Control consultant. If anyone needs one, I know one so let me know : )

Booty Pop Pop Pop....LOL

I know I know...I said that I would update you on the reality shows but darn it there is just one too many. Now that shows are coming to the season finales I feel like I can get back to what I said I was going to do. I told everyone I was having a Jersey overload with all of the reality shows now and that I was not going to watch Jersey Couture but I couldn't help it. I had to check it out. Jersey Couture is centered around a Jersey family owned business selling dresses called Diane and Co. The family includes Diane the mom/boss, Kim eldest daughter, Christina youngest daughter, youngest child Anthony and Sal the father. The store carries all kinds of dresses from wedding, prom, bridesmaides, homecoming and dresses for events like bridal showers, etc. During this first episode the dresses sold were for attending a wedding, prom, a baby shower and a fashion show for charity.

Now let's get down to business...the experience you receive while at the store is very personal and one on one. Each client is given their own stylist to find the dress that is made for her. They make their clients feel important and special. However the mother is waaaayyyy over the top. You hear words like booty pop and viganini. She also calls herself the boobologist specializing in making everyone's boobs look incredible. She is very honest and doesn't hold anything in so if you are not easily offended you will love her.  She is funny. Always dancing and singing around she keeps all of the customers amused.

I don't know how well the show will do but me being the reality freak that I am will be tuning in because it deals with fashion. In case you missed it, the show will be repeating this week on Oxygen on 6/3 at 7AM and 7PM and 6/5 at 2AM just to name a few. Make sure you check it out and let me know what you think. For more info check out the website.

Huggies® Jeans Diapers Hit the Streets!

When in Kroger's shopping I came across the cutest little thing. I saw jean diapers. The diapers were made to look as if your baby was wearing jean shorts instead of diapers. They are super cute. Almost makes you want to have a baby just to buy them...well not really...lol. I have attached one of the advertisements of the jean diapers so you can see them. Hope you enjoy. : )

SATC 2 Premiere

I was honored to attend the sneak preview of SATC in Columbus, Ohio, at the Easton Towne Center. I was totally excited when I received my ticket. This was the first time I had ever been to the movie theater by myself so I was terrified at the same time. Sooooo many emotions but I figured who needs to company to see one of their favorite series, not I....Anywho....I would recommend this movie to all the fans. It was great seeing the ladies come back together to do another one. I was under the assumption that Jennifer Hudson was going to be in this sequel but I am sorry to say she was not. I thought the movie was overall good. I did not like it as much as the first one. I can't say too much sense it isn't out but make sure you go see it then come back and tell me what you think.

Smooches!!

Operation Carrie Bradshaw

How to take Carrie's style and make it your own


Hey you SATC fans, if you are like me you have been waiting for the sequel of SATC to come out to see the fabulous fashions of Carrie Bradshaw. I absolutely love the outrageous fashions of the Bardshaw character.  Some may find her outfits overwhelming but if it is you can always take a piece from it and make it your own.

Lets take this wonderful vintage newspaper dress of Dior's 2000 Fall line. I think it is a dress that would make you stand out in the crowd but it may be a little much for some of you.  However the style of the dress would look amazing on pretty much every body type. Put it with a shoe that adds that pop of color and you are good to go. Now for you stylistas you think this dress is yummy. I would have put it with a red, yellow or royal blue shoe if I wore it. But I love love love the Christian Louboutin open toe booties Carrie is wearing.

The J'adore Dior 8 t-shirt is going to be a hot commodity this s/s.  Everyone wants to find one. My guess to have it to wear to see the new movie. The ball gown is a little much but we all know that is totally Carrie Bradshaw and only someone little and petite can get away with that. However ladies we can snatch the t-shirt pair it with some skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans and throw some heels on with a cute leather jacket.






Everyone loves the white Halston dress. There is nothing I would change about this look. You can add jewelry and shoes that make it your own. This particular dress would look so cute with pair of gladiator shoes for a more casual look then a strappy sandal to dress it up. The blue Halston dress is just as cute. It is very feminine. Like the other dress this one can be paired with cute flats or strappy heels.

I love the peach Halston dress. The assymetrical dress one shoulder dress is very trendy and fab. This dress looks amazing with a strappy sandal. You can add your flavor with special pieces of jewelry of your taste. I would piece the dress with gold accessories and strappy gold shoes.

Fab Find: Guess what ladies I found an inexpensive version of the white Halston dress. I found the similiar dress on http://www.asos.com/ for 43.96 however it only comes in pink or navy.

Versace Shoes Hot or Not????

I have seen these Versace S/S 2010 collection shoes on two celebrities in one day.  I have mixed emotions on the shoes. Trina had them on for her interview on 106 and Park and while on Concreteloop.com I saw Ciara in them. I did not like them with Trina's dress but thought they looked cute with Ciara's outfit. Anywhoo...who do you think wore the shoes best? Would you pick the shoes out if you seen them in the store?

Local Event: Arden B Fashion Party

Private Fashion Party hosted by Pink Diamond PR

Have you ever wanted to gather your girlfriends together and have a private shopping event as seen on television shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta or Basketball Wives. Thanks to Arden B it can be done. I was uber excited to receive an invite to one of my favorite stores for a private shopping party. This event was hosted by Pink Diamond PR, founder Carlita Pitts. This was the first fashion party held at the Easton Towne Center location. I must say everything was well organized. All of the guests received a 15% discount off of the full purchase and the extra bonus was that we had the special of buy one item get the second for 15 dollars. Talk about major savings. The hostess receives 25 dollars towards their purchase. Interested in having a party of your own yet. Wait there is more....

During this event there was a mini fashion show using a couple of Carlita's friends, which included store owners Adrienne Ruff of Step-N-Out Boutique, and Deepika Benjamin of Shoetique. The fashion show included the new spring/summer looks. Take look at some of the looks from the fashion show.

Models included: Deepika Benjamin, Adrienne Ruff, Ebony Starr and Toy Lei

Primer experiment #1: L'Oreal Paris Studio Secret Magic Perfecting Base a Hit or Miss???

Recently my friend and I tried this product to see if it was worth buying or not. I will start by telling you that my friend is caucasian. I wanted to see if it would work differently on different skin types. Frist Heather used the base, came to work and no one noticed a difference. She was upset that her skin did not feel any softer nor was it easier to apply her foundation. I tried the base a couple of days later and instead of using a powder foundation I used the press powder foundation to see if tat would make a difference. Unfortunately the base did not make my skin any softer nor was it easier to apply my foundation. I would suggest you try the base for yourself to see if you like it but for Heather and I it was a definite MISS.

Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Okay so if you are like me you wait until the absolute last minute to purchase your mother's day gift. It is hard to purchase things for people who do not really need anything. I am not a fan of gift cards for parents or siblings because I feel they are not personable. I feel we should choose a gift that is from the heart and well thought out. The normal gifts are flowers (boring), perfume, and clothes. Let's be creative people. This year think of something that your mother would never think you would get her.

Here are some of my ideas...

Have a makeup party for your mom and all of her friends

Have a personal shopping event at one of her favorite stores if offered

Redecorate one of the rooms in her home

Take her to create her own fragrance

Hire a glam squad to make her feel like a celebrity for a day

Spa package

Day of wine tasting

Let's make our moms feel special. Take the time to think of something unique. Hope this helps.
