I was out shopping at Mall of Ga in Buford,Ga when I came across this cute new store called, Fiore. I thought the store looked really cute so I popped in to look around. They have the cutest lil gift items for everyone. Baby gifts,girlfriend gifts and more!
I love how the store is decorated in a shabby chic way and plenty of space to browse around. If you’re in the Mall of Ga area, stop in the store, they have some really cute items in there located on the lower level.
Me trying to be serious…not! lol
Today was a pinktastic day! I do notice that it’s all about photo shoots today but things just kinda happened that way, sorry. My friend and fellow blogger buddy Maryan, asked me if she could shoot me a few weeks back. With her hectic schedule and mine, we finally picked today to get the shoot done.
Pia-Pia helping me out
What’s up yall!
Maryan and I met a few years ago. I emailed her because I saw her fun whimsical business cards and I loved her blog! We met up and we have been friends every since. She has a cute blog called, Teacake Martini and there, she features things around town and takes great shots at events.
Me slapping on the M.A.C. lol
Now Maryan has started a photography company called, My Dash Photography and it’s so cute. I am always game to take fun photos but warned her about my poofiness and weird since of style. I know most of her clients are very conservative lol. She said, “Tami Girl(that’s what she calls me), I know you going to bring it” lol. We met today up at Mall of Georgia and when she got out the car, she just smiled at me.
She said, Tami Girl, you are always full of surprises and fun! We chatted about my goodwill finds and my custom bustier which was designed by TK Designs. I have had the bustier for many years and my black tulle skirt was made by my seamstress Gloria Alterations. My hat was vintage from the Goodwill, it cost 1.50. I added the black poof ball in the front of the hat this morning, with a glue gun lol. My murano glass necklace was by Hilary London. My gold chain bracelets are by Maximal Art. My heels were black by Betsey Johnson. I did my face with my M.A.C. Cosmetics. I also styled my own hair. Easy breezy!

Happy 7th Birthday Miya!
Maryan and Pia said I should be a fashion stylist. I have no clue how to dress someone else but I know what I like to wear lol. The shoot was fun and we went inside of Home Elegance, then to the merry go round inside the mall. I saw a cute lil lil princess by the name of Miya and it was her 7th b-day!
Maryan Aikan and I
I stopped by to wish her a happy b-day and took a pic of her in her pink,too pinktastic! We had a fun day and I cant wait to see the final photos. Here are a couple of shots that Pia-Pia took. Thank you Maryan for the opportunity, luv yah! Talk to you guys soon!

We never had a Waffle House in Cleveland, Ohio where I grew up. When my family moved to Atlanta four years ago,the first thing I noticed was that there was a Waffle House on every corner. I was like wow, what is that lil place? Well four years later, I know that I’m in Waffle House atleast once a week, like a crack head lol.
Big Daddy
My family loves it and there is one special place that we frequent and thats the Waffle House across the street from Mall of Ga. There is a funny man that works in Waffle House who name is Big Daddy. As soon as you enter the door he greets you with a warm hello and makes you feel right at home. My kids love him and he plays with them all the time.
Big Daddy and Staff
I was not feeling well last week and my kids and hubby went there for sunday breakfast as usual and everyone noticed I was n ot there. The staff was very concerned for me. My husband called me on the cell phone and said, the whole crew was wondering was I ok. I’ve never missed a sunday breakfast and they felt like they needed to check on me. Now we have become so close, four years later. The same staff has been there as long as I’ve been in Georgia. They are my extended family…awh!
Tyra and Momsy
Big Daddy was telling me that they have the highest revenue in the sales for the Atlanta region for the morning shift. He also said people come from a long way just to visit that location because they know he will be there. He is very popular but the first time you visit Big Daddy you may have to get use to him talking loud and being extremely happy to see yah. If your in my neck of the woods up yonder, check Waffle House out and say hi to Big Daddy, you will have a great time, just ask my kiddies. the food is yummy too we get the All Star Special lol.
(If you are wondering where is Big Terrell, he was taking the pics lol)
