About two weeks ago I decided to get individual lashes at a local nail salon here in Atlanta.
I normally wouldn’t get them done at a nail shop but my friend referred them to me after I noticed how natural but very pretty her lashes looked.
That was TWO weeks ago and my individuals are still going strong. (Knock on wood) Continue reading
Rapper Iggy Azalea has dropped another video from her Ignorant Art mixtape, this time titled “The Last Song.”
If you’re unfamiliar with Azalea, she’s an Australian model/rapper who’s said to have been a shoe-in for XXL’s annual ‘Freshmen’ cover.
I actually remember hearing about her a few years ago around the ATL music scene and thinking,”Why isn’t she famous?!” after seeing some of her Youtube clips. Continue reading
Just before ringing in the New Year, I was invited to attend the Atlanta launch of Glitzy Lips.
Glitzy Lips are described as “Eye-popping lip foil designs that won’t fade, flake or foul for eight hours.”
Helmed by Athena Elliot, Glitzy Lips are fun, super shiny and easy to apply.
At the ATL launch party, bloggers and tastemakers were given cupcakes and cocktails at J. Mont Makeup Studio while Elliot and her Glitzy Lips team gave us demos on the product.
On Friday, my homie Lexi of Curls, Coils, And Kinks.com and my namesake Danielle of TheStyleAndBeautyDoctor.com hosted Atlanta’s “T.J. Maxx/Marshalls A New Year, A New You” event.
A bevy of beauty bloggers, natural hair aficionados and fashionistas turned out for the event at TJ Maxx Dunwoody where they were treated to light refreshments and challenges for prizes.
The ladies gave us great tips on items that TJ Maxx/Marshalls provides for much less than their retail value including hair products, designer shoes and even makeup and skincare.
In my opinion the highlight of the night was a fashion challenge where we had to find the most stylish outfit in the store that was ultimately judged by the TJ Maxx staff for a prize.
I picked out a super cute burgundy designer dress (I can’t remember the designer…but it was only 39.99!) and paired it with a black blazer ($49.99) and matching Jessica Simpson shoes ($49.99).
I didn’t win the challenge unfortunately but everyone was awarded a $25 gift card for participating.
This event was so much fun and I had a great time rediscovering all that TJ Maxx/Marshalls has to offer.
Check out some pictures of the event below.
Saint Germain In Artificial Light
As the winter months progress, I’ve developed a new makeup obsession: Pink Lipstick.
I’m currently obsessing over MAC’s ‘Saint Germain’ lipstick, a pretty Barbie pink that’s extra smooth and creamy and surprisingly flattering on women of my skintone.
Amber Rose looked like a MANNEQUIN on NYE and I mean that in the nicest way possible.
Ambuh was spotted with her mother and Wiz at Surrender Las Vegas rocking pale pink lips and a gorgeous smokey eye.
In my opinion, Amber’s makeup is always F L A W L E S S and she always has a super healthy glow, not sure if that’s a bomb shimmer powder or just because of her happy relationship with her man. 
On another note, I actually interviewed Amber on the red carpet of the 2011 Soul Train Awards and she’s really as beautiful in person as she is in pictures.
So much so that when my boss told me to stand next to her on the red carpet, I froze up and couldn’t do it. (Lol)
I did however ask her a few questions from behind the velvet ropes about her “popular music” album and her Smirnoff vodka line.

For all my ATL ladies, Sole Shoes & Accessories is offering a Scout Mob deal for 50% off a purchase.
This store has a variety of high-end shoes from Seychelles, Dollhouse and of course Jeffrey Campbells.
I was there recently for a hair and beauty event and noticed a number of people racking up on shoes, the JCs in particular.
I also noticed some super sexy handbags and earrings as well as belts and hats.
If you’re looking to use your 50% off deal, you’ll need the Scout Mob app of course, and to pay attention to the fine print.
Your “50 % off” is limited to only $50, but still a great deal considering that shoes like Jeffrey Campbell’s Litas retail for $160.
The Scout Mob deal ends 3/16/12.

A M A Z I N G.
I wore these bad boys on New Year’s Eve and my feet felt great.
I think what makes these shoes so comfortable are the mesh bands across the instep and of course the platform.
I always prefer platforms over other heels because they give me height but also let me keep my balance.
Before NYE I took some pictures of my Bendies for some of my boos on Twitter.
Check out my new favorite shoes below.
If you know me, you know I’m always on the hunt for new makeup, hair or style inspo, and my latest finding is helping me with all T H R E E.
While sifting through Tumblr, I ran across plus size model Nadia Aboulhosn of NadiaAboulhosn.com.
I love her style and confidence and the way she compliments her curves. (I want her hips!)
Some of my favorite looks from her are below including one with a blazer and pleaser boots, risqué but hot nonetheless.
What do you think about Ms. Aboulhosn?
