 I've been watching King Arthur with Keira Knightly on repeat. She should have worn this for her wedding.

Who knew you could make a shirt out of tulle or netting? So after seeing this of course I made one for myself!

The Real Jessica Rabbit....Vikki Dougan This is an interesting article that indirectly talks about the importance of dress and the ability of a designer to change how the world perceives you. If you don't know who Jessica Rabbit is, well I suggest you find out soon!

One of the makeup/beauty bloggers I follow, Maskcara, just revealed her finished office/make-up room. How jealous are you?

Back to Business

So I'm in the process of re-organizing my business, so I've been adding more business development workshops and events to my schedule, as well as re-working my business plan. Last week I headed to St. Joe's Prep for the African American Business to Business Event hosted by the Office of Councilman At-Large, David Oh.

Panelists: Doing Business With the Government

Panelists: Michael Pearson, William Wilson and Chet Riddick

Councilmam At-Large David Oh

 I also was able to reconnect with Erin from the Wharton SBDC as well as meet new people and learn about new resources in Philly. Plus I had an "Ah-ha" moment regarding my Etsy shop, so stay tuned!



P.S. If you're working on starting or growing your own business, check out the Business tab on the website for events and resources. 

Heaven = Cakes + Champagne

There is one thing I love as much as fashion....food, and more specifically desserts, so when I received this invite in my email about the Whipped Bakeshop cake collection, I just simply had to squeeze it in.

 

 

Well I certainly wasn't disappointed.

This is what greeted me when I arrived in Saks, and then I went inside and there were samples of fudge, macarons, and eventcupcakes and trust me they are certainly as tasty as they look.

 My favorite part of the event was the look book. That's right look book. I've never seen one created for a bakery. This one is available both online and in-print, and every photo just keeps making me glad that I go to the gym...so that I can eat desserts and not gain weight. Now all I need is an excuse event to order a cake!
