Glam | Fall is in the air

I absolutely LOVE fall especially here in the Southeast.  Here in Georgia we are lucky because we get to experience the brisk mornings, sunny days along with a beautiful collection of colorful leaves.

This by far is one of my favorite times of the year.

Now that we have settled into the new school year and most of the kids school clothes have been purchased, I started to look at my closet and noticed that I have NOTHING to wear. With all the shopping I have done for everyone else in the house, it seems like I have neglected myself.

 YIKES!!!

Since I work from home, I normally find everyday attire consisting of yoga pants and t-shirts, so not cool. With the change in season this is the perfect time to spruce up my every day attire.  So while surfing the internet I came across some pieces that I think would make great additions to my sparse wardrobe.

1. Denim Shirt Dress | MCQ by Alexander McQueen  
2. Black Leather Over-the-Knee Boots | Stuart Weitzman
3. Infinity Scarf | Steve Madden
4. Leather Satchel Tote | Michael Kors
5. Gold Earrings | Giani Bernini 

Now let me be the first to admit that some of the items above are a little on the pricey side, so the challenge will be finding "like" items that are a little more budget friendly.

It's off to shopping I go!!!!

What are some of your fall favorites for this year?  What pieces are you looking to add to your wardrobe?  

Ciao!

This pic was captured after Tiny, TI and Toccara had sinner opps we mean dinner at Madeo in Cali.  As The YBF suggests we've all heard those "rumors" about the titillating things that goes on with the female friends Mr. & Mrs. TIP like to keep.  What do you think?

Reality Recap

My new guilty pleasure as far as reality TV goes is the Style Network's newest show, Big Rich Atlanta.  And in true reality TV fashion, this new show isn't skimping in the drama department.  On this week's show we see that the drama continues between Ashlee Wilson-Hawn (former Miss Teen Georgia) and Kahdijiha Rowe (daughter of Q Parker from the R&B group 112) and all I can say is that Ashlee is one to watch because she is a little shit starter.   Not only is she causing friction between sisters Harvin and Meyer (Meyer is also not a fan of Ashlee's) on this episode  we see that she has clearly crossed the line and declared all-out war on Kahdijiha.  This past Wednesday it was clear to me that Ashlee clearly bit off more than she could chew and crossed the line when she referred to Kahdijiha as a "fat black girl".  Which couldn't be farther from the truth.  I have see her in person and she is a tiny little thing .  The altercation all happened during Ashlee's 28^th birthday party where we see all of the ladies there, drinking, laughing and having what appears to be a good time.  However as soon as Ashlee arrives and the mood changes.  The ladies get a little bored at the event and make their way over to a cupcake display and start taking some of the table décor and placing it on the cupcakes.  Ashlee seeing this walks over and makes a rude comment to Kahdijiha and starts poking her while referring to her as fat.  That is when all hell broke loose and we see drinks flying, weave snatching and lots and lots of commotion.  At the end of the episode we see Ashlee on the phone calling 911 for an ambulance and stating that she is going to call the police because she has been assaulted.  Ummmm no Ashlee boo-boo that is what I call a good old fashion but whoopin.  

Next week's teaser shows the ambulance at the party and Ashlee being asked if she wants to press charges.  So we’ll just have to wait to see what happens

StyleDIVA Adventures


Well the StyleDIVA didn't have many adventures this week but I've been checking out the haps at NYFW (New York Fashion Week).  Looky looky what I found out about one of our FAB fashion guru's new shoe line.  June Ambrose is in the shoe game with her own line priced from $59 - $120.  Oh my I'm loving her even more for that.  I can't wait to slide these size 10s in that black heel on the top row!  The line is going to be featured on HSN and is a mix of textures and prints.

Curvy Trend of the Week

Hey I'm back with another fabulous Curvy Trend of the Week!  Yes it's been a minute since I've featured a look from Chic and Curvy but this one was worth the wait....

 

This turquoise TRIBAL tank maxi dress is gonna be a HUGE summer hit.  But you really don't have to wait for summer, especially if you live in LA.  If you don't just throw on a cute schrug.  With the price of $36.00 you can afford a shrug or too!  I really am not a tribal fan but Janna Plus Model is making this work all kinds of ways so it's a must on my list.  Available online and in-store. 

 

  

Don't forget to visit the boutique on Sunday 1/27 4:30 pm for the Untamed Hair Tour, it's the natural hair girls place to be!

 

 

With Style,

Reality TV Recap
The Sisterhood hit TVs across the nation and The Divas have a difference of opinion on this reality show.  One thumbs up and one thumbs down!  The show follows the lives of 5 First Ladies of the Church that live in Atlanta.  Cocktail Erika wasn't impressed...did you hear her on the show this morning?  The StyleDIVA found it interesting and will tune in next week to see what these First Ladies have in store.  Somebody pass the church fan!
