 20th Annual Trumpet Awards, What To Wear?

This Saturday will be the 20th Annual Trumpet Awards. I have been attending this glam affair for atleast 6 years now. I have even traveled as far as Las Vegas for their anniversary event. I have met and interviewed some fabulous celebrities and seen many great fashions on the red carpet. This year I am trying to get my look together for the event. I am down to two dresses that I found at Arete Fashions at Mall of Georgia. I also found a black pair of sparkly “Showstopper” heels from Bakers.They are my official red carpet shoe sponsor and I’m so grateful for that!  I liked the shoe because it had iridescent rhinestones that glittered like the two gowns I picked out and my jewelry.

So here are the two dresses that I fell in love with for the black tie affair. I’ve been watching the weather and it says that it will be in the 60′s but rain is expected, I hate that news argh! Nothing like getting dressed up and it rains, it ruins everything! Every red carpet that I ever attended for the Trumpets was outside too, so I have NO clue what they plan on doing the day of the event. Noone will want to take pictures in the rain and I no for sure, I won’t be standing outside with my camera crew and in a ball gown getting wet, no mam! This makes it very stressful for me and I don’t know what I’m going to do with my hair because I don’t have a relaxer argh! I hope and pray everything works out for the best! Which dress do you think I should go with? Hmm? xoxo

I was trying very hard to put a look together for the BET Hip Hop Awards. Since it is Hip Hop I kinda like to dress edgy since its a casual affair. I’m such a dress girl but I knew I wasn’t going to wear jeans. I was shocked that the temperature plummeted down to 65 degrees so I had to change my outfit like two times.

My friend/fashion designer Tyrell Holmes came to the rescue though. He has a fab shop in Atlanta and designs for many celebrities like Regina Belle and Cynthia Bailey,Tamar Braxton and more. He made a kimono inspired piece for me to wear.Its from his Duke & Duchess line. It’s reversible and can be worn as a dress or tunic, I loved the look and it was warm enough for me, without having to wear a jacket on the carpet.

He also made me a leather belt to go with it. I paired it with rhinestoned black boots courtesy of Wild Pair. The colors were so pretty and I LOVED the sleeves that flared out! Tyrell’s mom and Aunt Jackie helped me pick out accessories and helped me get dress, so sweet! Everyone loved my outfit and gave me plenty of compliments. Tyrell will be having a grand opening at his new place soon and launching his official website! Be sure to check him out and stop back to see more of his designs,from the Empress Collection for curvy girls that I will be the face of, too excited!

Bakers Mall of Georgia

If you’re a frequent reader you may remember a few days ago that I mentioned I will be hosting the red carpet at the Jackson’s Legacy of the Legend concert and Gifting Suite. My lovely friends at Bakers were quick to respond and help me out with shoes for the red carpet. Today I stopped into Bakers located inside of the Mall of Ga on the first level. There were so many choices to choose from that I got overwhelmed. All their shoes are very nicely made and they have many styles for us shoenistas!

Mike the regional manager, was there and he helped me pick out a great black pump called, Vickie. After I described my custom made dress designed by Plush Boutique, Mike said those would be a great choice.
