Womenetics: The Conference

Last Wednesday I had the honor of attending the Womenetics Global Women's Initiative conference at the amazing Georgia Aquarium.  Womenetics is a great organization that helps develop, support and inspire female leaders to create an impact in their fields.  Womenetics focuses on women as effective business leaders, as successful business owners and as change agents on global issues.  Needless to say, I was chilling with some BOSS ladies.

With Danica and Lindsey from Everywhere.

Weekend Style: Utility

Hey Guys! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Mine was spent catching up on life : ).  I'm back on the grind with some awesome things going on this week.  Make sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram to keep up with the Baby Shopaholic circus!

Atlanta cooled off for a hot second last week so Peyton had a chance to wear some cute fall clothes.

Style Me Friday: Boyfriend Jeans 4 Ways

I survived another week!  Things are so crazy in real life you wouldn't believe!  I'm still tying up the loose ends from my mother's move back to Chicago, my niece who is preggers went to the hospital and was put on bed-rest for a week (she is doing good now) and I hosted two events this week.  It's just Friday!   Next week is going to be another circus!  Hopefully we can skip the hospital visits.

With all that being said, I did my best to do a Style Me Friday look since it has been in hiatus for a few weeks.  Since the inspiration look was Boyfriend jeans I figured I could pull this off because I wear mine all the time.  Pics are not the best but I tried : ).

New Outfit from Merchant's Walk

I love finding new shopping centers! It's like going on a field trip for me.  I was just introduced to Merchant's Walk shopping district in the East Cobb neighborhood.  With my gift cards in hand, I took a field trip (only 20 minutes away) to Merchant's Walk to see what clothing treasures I could find.

Weekend Style: It's Fall

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!  It's officially FALL!  Now I just need for it to cool off a bit more.  It's still hot in the A during the day but the temps drop about 40 degrees at night.  Peyton is about to show you how you can transition to fall in style.

Joe Fresh Kids Shopping Haul Round 3

I'm currently obsessed with the Joe Fresh kids line at JC Penney.  This is round 3 of Joe Fresh fall clothing for Peyton.  This stuff is just ridiculously cute at great prices!

Neiman Marcus Beauty Event

Last week Neiman Marcus kicked of their Beauty Event in Atlanta with a party!  During the beauty event party guest enjoyed makeovers, giveaways, a polish bar, sips, eats and beats!  I told you that Neiman Marcus was one of the greatest places on Earth!

What I Got from the Phillip Lim Target Collection

Just when I thought I was over the designer collabs with Target, I got sucked back in!  I've had my eye on a few Phillip Lim handbags for a while, trying to hold out for Santa (Mister).  I was hoping that the Target collaboration will help curve my appetite.  My girl Danielle from the Style and Beauty Doctor was able to get her hands on a couple of Phillip Lim Target bags during NYFW before us common folk could.  She posted a few of her bags and I made up my mind that I was going to try and get one.  Peyton and I pulled up to Target at about 8:05 am on Sunday.  No line at my store at all.  Matter of fact, there was only about 15 people there but the items were moving fast!

Before & After: Cloud 9 Curling Wand #NMBeauty

I like my hair to look like i just stepped out the salon, but who wants to spend all day doing it?  I'm sure you understand my pain. So when I received the Cloud Nine Original Curling Wand I broke out in a cold sweat for a few reasons: One, I’m currently rocking curly hair.  Two, I don’t like curling my hair.  And lastly, I've never used a wand before.   I knew was in for a challenge.

Weekend Style: Rocking Phillip Lim

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Mine was crazy busy and bittersweet.  My mom moved back to Chicago this weekend.  This was in the works for a few months.  I'm kinda sad about it but I think it's the best thing for her.  In addition to packing up my mom, Peyton started soccer on Saturday.  Then on Sunday, Peyton and I hit up Target to check out the Phillip Lim collab.  Watch Peyton WERK in one of the Phillip Lim items I purchased.

A Trend We All Can Wear: Black & White

Happy Friday!  I have a crazy, busy weekend ahead (that's a whole other post).  If you haven't noticed, I'm super excited for fall.  I love every fall trend because they are pretty simple and don't require you to shell out tons of cash.  But if you're like me, you are probably going to shop anyway.  Recent trends were all about color and patterns but this fall Black is Back!  I love wearing black but felt like I couldn't because the fashion world was screaming "Add some color!".  Check out some fabulous items on my wish list.

Prada T-Strap pumps

We Heart Gucci Kids Fall Collection

Gucci killed it with their kids fall collection!  Gucci is one of my favorite luxury brands.  Their fall 2013 kids collection gave me all sorts of life for fall!  Check out these fabulous Gucci looks and tell me if they inspire you as well.

My Treasure Chest of Shapewear

I may be alone but I take pride in my shapewear arsenal!  I think Spanx and other shapewear (that works) are little gifts from God.  They totally can change the game.  If it wasn't for shapewear, I probably could not wear half my wardrobe.  It's not that I buy my clothes too small... well sometimes with the hopes of losing 5lbs, but they just make me look and feel better.  I thought I would share some of my favorite shapewear items that I can't live without.

Shoe Haul: H&M Kids

So I kinda went H.A.M on H&M online.  I came across these cute "Chucks" look-a-likes in my local H&M's kids section but the colors and sizes I wanted were not available.  Since H&M launched the online shopping, I've been able to find items that I could not find in the stores.  I also took advantage of 20% off kids sale.

Indique Boutique Opens in Atlanta

My wavy Indique extensions have been getting so much love in the Internet streets!  Everyone has been asking and emailing me questions about my Indique hair.  All my Atlanta ladies are in luck!  Indique just opened their 10th boutique in the Virginia Highlands area in Atlanta!  Indique is the top luxury hair extension brand in the US!  Why?  Because they manufacture their own hair so they have total control of the product.

Celebrating with the Co-founder and creative director of Indique, Ericka Dotson.

Weekend Style: Shinny Heart

How was your Labor Day weekend?  Ours was very chill.  Other than supporting an event on Saturday afternoon, I just chilled with Peyton and attempted to tackle cleaning my closet (read about it here).  The rain all weekend didn't help with getting outside.  We managed to barbecue on Monday while it was drizzling.  Overall, I enjoyed the much needed chill time!  

Check out Peyton rocking another adorable FabKids fall outfit!

Confessions of a Shopaholic: Closet Clean-out

I hope you guys are having a great Labor Day Weekend!  Since we had a long weekend I thought it would be a good idea to clean out my closet.  I didn't even get started and was already overwhelmed!  I'm pretty good at purging with each season but now I feel there is just too much and will not get done in one weekend.  I don't even want to bring anything new in until it is clean.

I will be getting rid of a ton of stuff.  I posted this picture on instagram and someone suggested that I use Poshmark to get rid of some stuff.  If you wear between 7 to size 8 in shoes you may be in luck.  I will be posting clothes soon.  Please follow me, babyshopa, on Poshmark to keep up with my closet clean-out.  Do you use Poshmark?  Leave your Poshmark name in the comments so I can follow you.  Please share your closet cleaning tips!
