SWAPNISTA.....An Event That Continues To Please The Atlanta Fashion Scene..

As I made my way to the white tents at the Hilton, it kind of reminded me of a scene from New York Fashion Week.
Maybe not on the same scale but very close to it. Keren Charles continues to embrace the Atlanta Fashion market with her elegant yet exclusive "Swapnista" Events which allows small business owners not only to expose their products or services but to place them on the map in a major way!!!  Various media outlets are taking notice to the FashionENVY queen and we cant help but chime in as well.. Ya Girl definitely enjoyed the array of models, vendors ( Special Hello to the ladies of Laura's Closet) and complimentary massage services from Develon the masseuse. I have to say with the quality of fashion events in Atlanta sometimes I cant help but wonder but I can't say the same for "Swapnista"... This event is well put together and the quality of the fashion show gets an A+ in my book... Always glad to witness the continuous evolution of "The Swapnista Events"...

Just waiting to see what awaits in the future...

Throw Your "Stunna" Shades On!......

By Kesha Denise of Funky Flair Boutique

For those of you who are clueless to what im speaking of, SUNGLASSES! Hello!

With the summer season amongst us and the sun beaming oh so bright, you must wear the haute shades to protect your eyes (of course!) and to stay fabulously fly while doing so.

Sunglasses are the “IT” must-have accessory and there are several trends to choose from:

·         Fun -Graphics like tie-dye or anything colorful and playful    
·         Bold -Two-tone combos accent any look        
·         Sophistication -Frames that are cream, mocha, or tan

So whether your “Stunna Shades” are pricey (Chloe, Tory Burch) or not so pricey (Forever 21, Urban Outfitters), make sure you choose a pair that is absolutely and without a doubt EYE POPPING! 

Attention All Sexy Ladies in the City.... A Wonderful Discovery!

by Anita F. Hill

I have great news....The bridge to the world of All Things Fabulous has finally become much more accessible!  We all love the very fashion-savvy ladies on SEX AND THE CITY don't we?....And we mostly love them because of their wardrobes, right!  Well, what if I told you that you can AFFORDABLY dress just like them for a day! 

Okay, so recently I was driving to work listening to my favorite morning show, The Bert Show on Q-100, and it just so happened that I tuned in just in time to catch Ms. Shopping Diva herself, Jessica of Jessica Shops!   Every Friday, Jessica does this shopping segment and informs listeners all about all of the great shopping deals around the city.  Well, anyway she found this AWESOME website called RenttheRunway.com.  I know, you're like, huh?  But, yes, on this website you can do exactly that.... Rent the Runway!  You may have heard of this sort of thing before, where instead of you having to forfeit your life savings for that dress of your dreams, you can just rent it at a much more affordable rate and be glamorous for a night!  Well, this website is along the same lines, but with a TWIST!....Not only can you rent the dress of your dreams, but they have now added a new SEX AND THE CITY collection!  Just go to the website and click under Occasions and there it is.... the SATC collection with the four fashion diva's themselves:

 Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha! 

You can then, pick the character that most fits your style, then a wonderful array of fashion heaven pops up on the screen with several options to choose from, complete with recommended accessories and all!  COOL!  It's like borrowing an outfit from some of the most fashionable women on the tv screen!  All you have to do is pick the ensemble you like the best, and it will be delivered to your doorstep for as low as $50 per night for up to 4 nights!  And after you have attended your event in your show-stopping outfit, all you have to do is pack it up and send it back! You don't even have to worry about dry cleaning or anything!  So, instead of spending $500 for the dress of your dreams, that you will probably never wear again, you can just pay $50 and be absolutely GORGEOUS! 

  For a preview of what awaits you, check out some of my fav's below:

Carrie Style

$50 Rental, $325.00 Retail

Charlotte Style

$50 Rental, $350 Retail

Miranda Style

$75 Rental, $450 Retail

Samantha Style

$50 Rental, $400 Retail

"I cannot WAIT for my next event!  See ya ladies... Oh, and just call me, Miranda! "  LOL!

Forever 21 Can't Stop and Won't Stop......

By Kesha Denise of Funky Flair Boutique

And I don’t want them too either! Being a boutique owner myself, I always give credit when it’s due and  Forever 21 is a phenomenon in the fashion world for every fashionista – they have tons of super duper pieces that are fun, creative, and affordable. Right up my alley and probably yours too!

Just to give you a brief history lesson 101 - Forever 21  started in a 900 square foot location on Figueroa Street in Los Angeles (yep, my hometown) on April 21, 1984 and at the end of the first year, sales were from $35,000 to $700,000 – can we say “All About the Benjamins” baby in my best Sean Puffy Combs voice. By 2005, Forever 21 was operating over 355 locations nationwide – United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Saudi Arabia just to name a few.

Forever 21 is still steadily growing quickly and on June 25^th, another location opens at TIMES SQUARE, so let’s hear it for New York in my best Alicia Keys voice. Sidebar, clearly I love music right!? Lol

 The store opens at 10:00am SHARP and ladies, get ready to walk the red carpet photo booth, and be delighted with the manicure and makeover stations and don’t forget that PLASTIC! Have fun shopping and tons of XOXO.

Barbie Pink Lips.....Do We Love It?

For the past couple of days I've been on a " Barbie Pink" high.. And I can't get enough of the trending summer color... I ran to the nail salon this weekend & slapped the color on as if it was the last thing on earth I needed to accomplish..... And so I thought, what about trying a Barbie Pink lip...Celebrities like Rihanna, Monica, & Nikki Minaj can't seem to get enough of the color either... And I'm really considering running down to MAC to copp me a new "stick" and get out of the safe  "Love Nectar" Gloss that I always rock... (Ok, only MAC users know what I'm talking about)...

So I did a little research and Lady Gaga has a limited edition VIVA Glam lipstick with MAC that is the perfect shade I'm looking for... As with all VIVA GLAM products, proceeds of the purchase goes to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support the fight against HIV/AIDS...I love it!!

It's only $14 bucks  at your local MAC location or online and definitely worth a try.... I'll keep you posted on how it goes with the Barbie Pink Lip!! 

And maybe I'll find my Dream House and Ken while I'm at it....
Muah! S.
