Majesty

This song always confirms and reminds me why I love my Father.

Fun Night!

So, another one of my girlfriend's is officially off the market. Her beau of 3+ years surprised her with a proposal this evening at Anis Cafe and Bistro in Atlanta. It was perfect. Two girlfriends engaged within 2 months. I will definitely have to get on that Kanye diet, lol.

My girls are uberly hot!

I've had these pics of Miroslava sitting in my folder for ages, how adorable is she?!

GN!

Quick Post

Sorry once again for the slothful postings.

Party Planning Update: So, this is where I am....I have created the s.t.d (save the date) card and invitation cards for the party. These are just the design, I will try to get the s.t.ds printed tomorrow. I am still waiting on UPS to deliver the paper for the invitations. I will try to post pictures of the final product. Please tell me what you think. Right now my eyes are blood shot red, so I am off to bed!

I will try to blog tomorrow....fashion related I promise!

-Ciao-

P.S. Sorry for the blurs, have to protect the innocent, lol

Party Planning: Venue

Man! Finding a venue that does not cater and is under $1000, looks nice, and seats over 200 guests is H-A-R-D.

But thankfully I think I have found a place. Since I work 10 hour days, it has hard for me to drive around places, so I have been relying on the net to be my source of hope. Why don't facilities for rent post more pictures of their facilities? That is so annoying!

Remember the budget for the venue is under $1000 for at least 200 people (I have a feeling the list will get up there...Nigerian's do not go to parties without inviting 2 other friends). I contacted a company in Atlanta that has two venues. One venue seats 350 guests for $700 and the other seats 200 guests for $500. We are having the party on a Sunday. Just by having a Sunday party we are saving almost 50% compared to having the party on a Saturday!

I am waiting on the rental manager to call me back to make sure that specific date is available. If so, I will go there and take pictures. This is what was available on the site:

The 411

What's up blogging world?! Sorry for the lack of posting. Things have been a little crazy on my end...ha ha. Strike that. It hasn't been crazy. I have just been lazy to blog and kinda pre-occupied with other things.

A while ago, I blogged that I may start on a new business venture. Well, I have been reevaluating that goal. When I decide on a business venture I try to weigh the pros vs. cons and I want to make sure that I go into something fully prepared. 

I love anything that ensues creativity, organization, people interactions....so if I do not persue that exact business it will be in the same neighborhood.

With that being said, my mother is having a 51st birthday party and graduation party that I am hosting. It has been a struggle based on the budget but since I am a DIYer, I gladly except the challenge. With the limited budget and time crunch, I may not post as much as I would like but I will try to blog about the experience.

Happy Beelated

I just stumbled upon this bday video for Beyonce. Wow, now that is love! But seriously, Tyra Banks is crazy!

Pretty in Black

Cassie was in Atlanta at a local club called Club Miami. This girl is just so pretty it's unfair! Partially bald or not, she knows how to rock it!






Our fave couple we love to hate, well except me, were seen out at the Paper Magazine 25th annivarsary. I LOVES THEM! I do find it funny that they have been on the extra with the PDAs. Maybe they are tired of people thinking their relationship is fake. I see that knee highs are a definite Fall Trend as many celebs have already been seen wearing them.



Trace Ellis and Kelly Rowland attended the L.A. premiere of Vogue's The September Issue on yesterday. I love love love Tracee's look. Not really feeling Kelly's overall look but the gold accessories look great on her skin tone.

Designers Spotlight: Rachel by Rachel Roy

Rachel Roy has created an economic friendly line that was exclusively at Macy's department store. The line will showcase various pieces from sportswear to boots to jewelry while staying moderately priced from $49 to $199.

I am also posting an interview that I came across. Rachel seems really down to earth while she juggles being a mother and running a successful business.

Hanging Around: Air Plants

I first saw a picture of hanging plants from one of my Flickr friends and just couldn't stop admiring. At first it seemed quite strange but they are a great substitute if you want something modern. Plus they are great for small living spaces.

Badu

I just had to post some pics of the lovely Badu! Seriously, there is none like her. And can you believe she gave birth not too long ago. Ha!

Olivia in the City

Olivia was seen walking the streets of NY with her arm candy, her beau Johannes Huebl, and her dog. This pic makes me want to reconsider the boat shoe trend. Speaking of The City, I cannot wait until it starts. The preview has me waiting in anticipation!

She's a FOX

I never really saw the big deal or understood why guys drooled over Ms. Megan Fox but after these pics of her for Wonderland Magazine September 2009......she kinda killing it! I was doing my daily blog checks and stopped mid scroll when I saw Ms. Megan Fox. She is glowing. I just hate the fish pout.

I am not even mad at you, werk it because you suck at acting.
