"Mrs. Carter"

This past Saturday the day finally arrived where I was able to truly experience the "Mrs. Carter" tour.  I did see her at The Essence Festival a couple of weeks ago, but Saturday was a completely different experience. My seat that I went through hell and high water to get months ago were amazing! The Atlanta crowd had a completely different energy, her energy was different, even mine was different. The show nothing short of amazing. I am a HUGE Beyonce' fan, but I can unbiasely say that she is really walking in her destiny. She is definitely supposed to be on that stage doing what she is doing.Check out some of the pictures I captured below.

I found this amazing,comfortable paisley print two piece set at the thrift store the day of the concert for $4! I planned on wearing something totally different, but once I tried it on, I fell in love with the fit and how unbelievably comfortable it was. I wish I would've gotten a more detailed picture, but as always I was in a rush.

Here is a close up of the accessories I wore to jazz up my outfit. I found this amazing necklace at a vintage store when I was in New Orleans. It is hard to see, but it is a Nefertiti head in the middle of a snake.
Have any of you guys seen the show yet? What did you think?

"Lace, Pleats, & Bows"

Hey hey, I hope you all had a great weekend! I just got back from an over due trip home to visit my family. I had  such a wonderful weekend being home, seeing my family, going to my favorite spots, and hanging out with my niece. I was so busy running around that stopping to take pictures was the furthest thing from my mind, but I did have my mini me snap a couple of pictures of what I wore to church on Sunday.

I totally love how this outfit came together! I love the fact everything except for the shirt and shoes I either thrifted or got from a consignment shop.

Why my breasts look like a triple F in this picture I don't know....LOL...but I really wanted to show the detail of this amazing pearl and gold chain necklace that I found last year at a consignment shop I frequent when I come home.

If you follow me on IG you may remember when I posted a picture of this amazing clutch I lucked up on a couple weeks ago when I paid a visit to may favorite consignment shop that I frequent in Atlanta.

I wanna give a special thank you to my mini me for being my photographer, she always does such a great job! You can check out the pictures she took in another post I did HERE.

"Queen of Hearts"

On Sunday I wore this adorable heart print vintage dress that I found at the thrift store last year. I have so many amazing vintage dresses in my closet that I haven't even had the chance to wear.

I kept the accessories simple by pairing the dress with a skinny gold belt (also thrifted), my black Betsey Johnson platforms and my go to red purse.

There are so many options that I have when I wear this dress because of the different color hearts. I think next time I wear it I will definitely pull out the colors in the dress.

You made it half way through a short week...hang in there!

"Sex in the City...in Houston"

Hey ladies. Here are the Houston pictures I captured with my friends last weekend. I wanted to share with you my OOTN pictures and other images that I captured. This trip was especially epic because the entire Sex in the City Crew hasn't been together collectively in about five years. We have seen each other separately but this was the first time the entire crew has been together. These girls are my heart and we have been friends for 16 years! We all love fashion and have our own unique styles, personality, and a friendship that is going on almost two decades...hence the name "Sex in the City"...LOL. We adopted the name about five years ago and trust me the characters truly match the ones in the movie. So without further adieu, my clique......

MIRANDA

My personality and style is very much Miranda. I am very strong minded ,business savy and funny.

CARRIE

Carrie is no other than my girl Eureka. She is the most daring out of the three of us when it comes to fashion. Her style and boldness truly inspires me. She is a beast when is come to hair and adding that extra funk on things. She is the one responsible for my long side braid above which I fell in love with. When it comes to natural hair she is the Messiah, I have nickname her the hair natzi...LOL. You can check out her style and hair blog HERE

Samantha

Sheila is Samantha because of her sexiness and witty sarcasm. She has such a sweet spirit, and is always the voice of reason. I love the heck outta this girl!!

Charlotte

Cindy is Charlotte because she is very conservative in all the ways that you can be conservative. She is also a very positive person who in the 16 years I have known her I can count on one hand how many times I have her sad. She is truly the strongest and most beautiful person I know.

A special shout out to Centerria and Shayla who drove to Houston with Sheila and Eureka. It was my first time meeting these ladies and they were both super sweet. They vibed with my girls and I perfectly. Until next time......

"Fall"

So we have one more month of my favorite season and about a month and a half before the end of 2012. I can not believe how fast this year has gone by. I LOVE the fall season.The change in the weather, trees, wardrobes, nothing is better.

On Sunday I got a chance to wear one of the two favorite blazers in my wardrobe. It was made by a friend of mine named Nykki. She has an awesome eye for vintage clothing and sells some pretty amazing pieces. You can check out the two other pieces I bought from her HERE and HERE.

 I paired the blazer with a pair of ripped jeans that I first wore HERE and HERE and my Jeffery Campbell Lanas

"Fancy October Review"

I can not believe that it is already November, and that there are only two more months to 2012. October was a busy month for me, but I must say the highlight of the month was my trip to NYC. I had the most amazing time and can't wait to go on another vacay with my Sex in the City girls. Here is a collage of my OOTD post for October. This month I am so torn in choosing a favorite look because I have four...LOL. however if I was forced to choose I would pick my concert outfit with the baseball cap and half gloves.

So what do you ladies think, what was your favorite look?

BTW I am super excited because November is my blog's one year anniversary! **throws confetti** I will be hosting an great  giveaway this month to thank all of you for your wonderful support and love. This blog means a lot to me, it is not just a hobby for me, it's a passion. I unfortunately am not able to dedicate as much time to it as I would like because I run two other businesses, but trust in 2013 that will all change..;0)

"A Blogger Dinner ~ Turkey Chop"

As most of you know my friend and I opened a no beef no pork gourmet grill back in June. Last night we held our "Unveiling of Turkey Chop" blogger dinner where we invited different food/lifestyle bloggers and magazine writers.

Turkey Chop is located at 624 Southside Commercial Parkway in Jonesboro, Georgia. All of the items on our menu are chicken, turkey, fish, or vegetarian.

For dinner we served our guests two of our signature items, The Honey Q'd Turkey Tips, and our Smothered Turkey Chop. We are innovators of both of these items along with the Turkey Short Ribs, and New York Turkey Steak.

Social media at it's best.

Our PR staff from Sky at Twelve Media , myself and my co-owner/BFF/soror/sister.... Ok on to the fashion since this is a personal style blog after all right....LOL.

I am happy that the weather has changed because I FINALLY got a chance to wear this vintage Neiman Marcus dress that I found at my favorite consignment shop about a month a go. A blessing from the fashion Gods indeed seeing as it is not only a size 10 (whoop) but it was brand spanking new. It still had the original price tags on it and everything!!!!!! Now if I can get these hips in a size 10 pair of jeans I will be home free...LOL. I wish I could've gotten a better picture of the studded and rhinestone details on the collar and sleeve. The dress is truly amazing!

Treshonda wore an exposed zipper dress, fish nets and sky high Betsey Johnson pumps first seen HERE
Ok back to restaurant business........

We have awesome daily specials and as you see we even sell our signature items raw by the pound for you to take home and prepare. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, why not add some variety to to your menu?

Instead of carbonated drinks we serve four signature drinks that are made fresh daily, Iced Tea, Peach Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, Jamaican Punch, and our Obama and First Lady drink.

Our founder and business partner Quentin Love giving an overview of the history of Turkey Chop and our restaurant's mission which is to bring awareness to healthy eating to our neighborhoods by introducing them to a healthier form of fast food.
