Fashion Designer Chloe Faith Harper

Vitamin C is the active ingredient for clothing designer Chloe Faith Harper! I was invited out to be in her photo shoot for the spring collection and I was too excited. It was held at the old cotton mill in the heart of Atlanta. When I got there it was 2 other models getting gussied up by makeup artist Angelique Dozier. She has been in the business for over 10 years and absolutely loves doing makeup. She’s a M.A.C Cosmetic girl too, so I quickly put away my train case full of goodies, she was well prepared. The first thing that I look for with any makeup artist is their cleanliness,technique, and how they do my eyes. Thats very important to me. Angelique did my face very nice, I was pleased.

Designer Chloe has been making fashions for over 2 years now professionally. She was in NYC for a spill interning for Diane Von Fursternberg! I asked her how that was and she said a great experience. All of her clothing is made custom and sold online.She loves making dresses but getting into separates too.Her sizes are from 2 to 24. I loved the denim dress she made for me, it was too cute. It was very detailed and the fabric was stretchy which is great for curvy girls. “My pieces are different so you wont see too many people walking around with your outfit on”, said Chloe. She loves to use real women with different shapes,heights and sizes in her fashions, that way her customers can see how they will look in them. I asked her how long it would take her to make a dress and she said about one day, depending on all the detail involved.

Shari working it

Our photographer was a handsome guy by the name of Vaughn Dabney. He’s been shooting for quite awhile and said he just transitioned into more fashion. He did an amazing job of capturing all of us in the shoot. My son was with me who likes photography and he gave him some great pointers. When the final pics are ready, I will show you but for now check out the behind the scenes shots and please support Chloe by visiting her site! Thanks Chole for the fab opportunity I had a great time and it was nice meeting you. xoxo

Friday night I was invited out to the “Magnum Livin Large Project“. When I got the invite I was thinking how will they do this event about condoms? Well, when Pia and I arrived, I must say the event was pinktastic in a goldish kinda way lol.

When we arrived on the rooftop of the Ventanas, you saw gold drapery flowing, music playing, drinks pouring and bites served. Models were wearing the cutest gold sequined dresses, celebs were arriving on the gold carpet and the atmosphere was cheerful.

Eudoxie and Ludacris, cute!

Luda was joking on stage when receiving his award, saying that he was happy to receive it because he was a great “supporter” of the Magnum condoms lol. I also had the pleasure of riding on the elevator with Ludacris and his girlfriend Eudoxie and I was telling her I took french for 6years and can’t remember a thing lol. She speaks fluent french and she was going over some words with me, I laughed but understood some things she was saying. I also asked Ludacris when was he going to shoot his next video. He said he shoots them all the time and does some of them here in Atlanta. I told him to consider putting me in one and he said, “no doubt!” Ok Luda, I’m going to hold yah to it! lol.
