InVESTed and Inspired

Hey Shenistas,
It's She Thrifts Thursday loves, don't forget to use the hashtag #Shethrifts to share your thrifted looks and finds. Ok now let's chat about my look. Earlier this week I attended the Project 13 event in a look inspired by my boo Naja Diamond. I adored the look she wore a few weeks back to my She Is Style event. I secretly stalked her shirt but it was sold out. Ugh. My look was pulled together at the very last minute because my original look didn't excite my spirit. My brother told me he didn't like my outfit. Sigh... the nerve. I wish I would have gone with a different shoe but oh well, I still think it came together nicely. The event was a great time and I was so excited to be apart of it. Congrats to James for putting on such an amazing production.

Styling Tip: It's okay to be inspired by other people's looks just be sure not to be so literal in your recreation. You always want to make the look your own.

As always thank you dolls for your support. You guys rock!!! Make sure to follow me on

LBD and Sneakers

Hey Shenistas,
Happy Hump day dolls!! This past Saturday my family and I attended the Sweet Auburn Fest in downtown Atl. It's a music fest with food and vendors that we try to go to every year. OMG they have some of the most amazing food ever, and I broke my diet in a major way. LOL I wanted to keep my look simple and cute because it was hot and you do a lot of walking. I paired this thrifted shirt dress with these awesome sneakers from Shoedazzle.com. I am normally not a sneakers girl, but I am starting to love them. Check out pics below.

She Is Style Event Recap

Hey Shenistas,
I Hope everyone had an amazing weekend and I hope all of the moms had an awesome day of being pampered for Mother's Day. I know I said it's my day alllllll day long and my hubs and son were sick to death of it and ready for Monday.

I know I took another brief and sudden vaca and I said I wouldn't. Let me explain..... I was under tons of stress trying to get my event together and I had been sick for close to 2 months. But I pushed through because things needed to get done. Well, the day after the event (which went so well) my body just couldn't take it anymore. I literally couldn't move. I think I told you guys I had been suffering from a sinus infection and upper respiratory infection and truth be told I wasn't really taking care of myself annnnnnd turns out the doctor gave me the wrong meds. So I was truly feeling awful last week. I didn't even put on clothes all week. I went back to the doctor got new meds and some much needed rest and I'm feeling a bit better.

Ok so let's talk about my fab event that took place at Chef Rob's Upscale Lounge!!! I have been nervous for years about throwing an event and I finally said I wasn't going to let fear control my life anymore. I stepped out on faith and the day was amazing despite the rain. The She Is Style event consisted of a mini thrifted runway show (styled by me) a battle of the mixed prints featuring fashion bloggers, wardrobe stylist and a few of Atlanta's best dressed and a best in shoe walk off. It was such a fun time. Everyone enjoyed themselves and I was so thankful for an amaze day surrounded by the people I love. My friends came from D.C, Memphis, Florida, Augusta G.A and Birmingham just to support me. I would like to again thank everyone that came out and those who missed it..... see you next year!!!

Thanks to my loving hubby, family, friends, guest, sponsors, photographers, the world's greatest M.C. and the best DJ for making my event amazing.

She Thrifts Thursday

Hey Shenistas,
I'm back with another She Thrifts Thursday post. My goal is to get to a point where I am able to do this weekly and eventually turn it into a feature. Once my event is over and school slows down I should have way more free time. Can I share with you dolls how nervous I am about throwing my very first event this Saturday. I am a serious nervous wreck. I can't wait until Monday when the event is over, all of my company is gone and I can just take a day to do nothing.

This past weekend, I attended my girl Rochelle of WhatRoseReddSaid hubby's birthday dinner. Earlier that day she gave me these uber fab shoes and I was so excited to wear them. I paired them with this dress that I've had for almost 3 years. This was my first time wearing it and I decided to keep the look casual by adding a denim jacket. I wanted to wear a flower peplum jacket but my hubby said I looked like I was about to go to church so I changed. LOL Check out pics below.
