If you know me, you know I love editorials,fashion,celebrities and photoshoots! It’s  fun to be up-close-and-personal with the celebrities and models and learn what they like while watching them get all glammed up. On Oct. 17 the team over at rolling out had the pleasure of shooting singer, songwriter, womanprenuer and reality star Kandi Burruss.

When I say that she was so humble, down to earth, funny and fun to work with — you just have no idea! I have been on plenty of photoshoots and I have seen so many things happen, but Kandi made everyone feel at ease as she transformed into many alter egos in front of everyone eyes. Celebrity photographer Robert Ector was on set to do the honors of shooting Kandi.

Celebrity stylist Shun Munson styled Kandi in three different looks for the cover of rolling out magazine. The first look was 60′s retro glam, where she wore an Alice & Olivia red coat,with a black bow belt, vintage black evening gloves, couture hat with veil and Christian Louboutin Deja Vu Slingbacks. Derek J gave her auburn locks an updo with big pin curls.

The second look was more of a sex kitten look. She wore a $3,300 backless Michael Kors fitted dress with gold Lanvin heels. Derek J gave her “bed hair” where it was kinda messy but sexy, while Lakesha (LadyMakeup) Quinn made up her face with a soft and sexy eye and a soft sheer pink lip.

Her third and final look was based on a dominatrix theme. This was inspired by her intimate toy collection called, “Bedroom Kandi.” She wore a black bodysuit with chain belt and studded leather gloves. Her Versace stiletto boots also had chains around them for that edgy look. Her hair was frayed and styled into a ponytail with black hairband. Her makeup was done with heavy black eyeliner and black lip. I’m trying to figure out which look will rolling out choose for the cover. Check back as we unveil Kandi on the cover of rolling out this Thursday. It will hit newsstands and online this week. xoxo

Cake by Classic Cheesecakes and Cakes, pretty!

I was invited out to Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann’s Baby Shower and it was very extravagant. I have NEVER been to a baby shower where the mom-to-be wears a designer evening gown but hey we are talking about Kim from the hit tv show Atlanta Housewives. She looked radiant as she entered the Grand Atrium in downtown Atlanta wearing Rafeal Cennamo and Guiseppe Stilettos.

At my baby shower I think I remember wearing baby blue and it looked like a a piece of sheer cloth lol. Celebrity Stylist Shun Melson(who styled Kim and her girls)told me that later on Kim changed into custom made rhinestoned slippers designed by Shajan Clay.

My stuffed diaper bag full of goodies to Kim & Kroy

It was a very nice affair, I have plenty more pics but have to wait to post them but trust me it was over the top, elegant and very very classy. Cynthia & Peter, Sheree & Lawrence, Phaedra & Apollo and Kandi Burruss and her mom were in attendance. I would like to thank Kim for the personal invite everything was grand! I am also tickled pink about my custom made rhinestone bracelet you designed from your new jewelry collection that was inside my goody bag! It was a great added touch! xoxo

Update: I was given “permission” to put up these photos on my blog! I would never leak pics!

fashion stylist 300x199 From my inbox, what to wear?

This is a new thing I’m trying out and thought it would be a great asset to my blog. I get tons of emails and although I can’t answer every single one of them, I do find some that I would like to share with my readers. I really appreciate each and every one of you stopping by and taking the time out to read my randomness,events, celeb stuff, fashion and my obsession with pretty pink girly things lol. Well, today I got a pretty good email from a friend on facebook. Here is the q/a hope you enjoy!

Question:

“I need some help. I am so clueless when it comes to fashion and name brands. I have a very high profile meeting here in Atlanta next week and need to have some labels on me (clothes, purse, shoes). The people in the meeting will be definitely looking at me and will notice if I am not carrying a brand name bag or shoes (I will fill you in later)

This is where you come in- please tell me what brands are ladies wearing or carrying? (please dont laugh too hard… I know, I am embarrassed to even ask).

I really dont want to spend too much, so the Minolos are out. Please help!!!

Thanks a bunch!!! and Hugs!!!”

My response:

When I got this email It really peaked my interest because I know I have the same issue when trying to cover events and more. People may think, wow she has the life and she gets to do this and that. It’s really hard to try to find something to wear for events that are sometimes 5 times a week. It’s not that fun people! I’ve always shared that I am a thrifty shopper and that I shop very frugally. Well when this young lady asked me this question, I told her that If It was me, I would hire a stylist to pull things for her. When you hire a stylist, it would be cheaper than paying for a complete look. You can just pay a stylist and return it or just pay for what you really liked, easy breezy! Most stylist have a large selection to choose from at their place. You pay a rental fee and your all done. I also referred  her to 3 great stylist that I know in the area.

I also suggested Leah Taylor at Taylor- Ector Studios. She has styled me, Lala Vasquez, Sheree Whitfield, Lisa Wu Hartwell and a host of others. She has a fab studio and loves vintage style, we got along so well.
