Love My Alannah Fall Lookbook + Peyton's in it!

I know we're all still talking about Beyonce shutting down the VMA's and Blue stealing the show but I'm super excited to share LoveMyAlannah fall back to school lookbook!  *throws confetti*  The fall collection is SICK!  Amazing headbands, watches, and earrings.  I want every single piece for Peyton.  I'm honored that Peyton and I were asked to be involved in LoveMyAlannah's epic look book.  While Peyton did her thing in front of the camera, I was behind the camera, styling the mini models.  The lookbook was shot by the amazing team of Creative Soul Photography.

Kids on the Red Carpet: BET Hip Hop Awards

Your's truly covered the red carpet for the BET Hip Hop Awards last week.  You can see what I wore HERE! The show actually airs on Tuesday at 8pm.  I wanted to share some of the fabulous kids that hit the red carpet.

Dynamic Kids Expo Coming to Atlanta

The inaugural Dynamic Kids Expo will be held on Saturday, October 13 in Atlanta at the Gwinnette Convention Center!  This event celebrates Dynamic Kids!   

The founders of the popular Atlanta’s Chef Expo and Atlanta Street Food Festival are excited to announce tickets are now on sale for the inaugural Dynamic Kids Expo taking place on Saturday, October 13, at the Gwinnett Convention Center from noon to 6 p.m. Primed to become the premier children’s expo, showcasing the region’s most popular talent and vendors, the Dynamic Kids Expo will delight and entertain children and adults alike throughout the all-day festivities. Proceeds from the event will benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in support of its patients.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Alisha Nesbitt, founder of Dynamic Kids Expo at a round table lunch with some of the Dynamic kids that will be featured in the expo.

Meet some of the Featured Dynamic Kids!

Kayla Saslow - Still in High School, Kayla is already a chef and currently works at some of the top restaurants!  She will be doing cooking demos during the expo.

DJ Priest - Celebrity Kid DJ and author at 12 years old!  DJ Priest is sure to get both the kids and adults out of there seats during the Dynamic Kids Expo!

Maya Penn - 12 year old entrepreneur, that started her own Eco friendly accessory and clothing company.  She will be talking about her business and displaying her fabulous pieces.

Having lunch with these kids inspired me!  I got to thinking, what was I thinking about when I was there age?  Even now!  I wasn't cooking, making things and or writing a book!  If you live in the Atlanta area bring the family out for a day of fun and to celebrate our Dynamic Kids by keeping them encouraged to follow their passions!

Ralph Lauren Kids Fall 2012 Fashion Show

A dream of mine is for Peyton and I to sit front (or 2nd) row at a fashion show during New York Fashion Week!  Just like Rockmom June Ambrose and her daughter.  I am sure she was up front at the Ralph Lauren Fall Fashion show during fashion week.

Peyton's Weekend Style with Santa

Last week a few of my girlfriends and I took the kids to take pictures with Santa!  Since we are in Atlanta we had to take them to the "Real Black" Santa.  I find this so amazing, I went my whole life and never saw a Black Santa and last year I see the first one! LOL!

I must say Peyton did good!  At first she did want to sit on his lap until he gave her a sticker. 

Peyton is wearing an Old Navy dress and H&M boots.  Tights and hair bow are from Walmart.

Here is little Devon looking Ivy League with his argyle vest.

Big Bro Dillon sporting the prep look.

Sweet little Elijah and big bro John.

The Divas!  Lex and Peyton!

Devon is like get this wild woman off me!

Elijah is rocking True Religion jeans.

Here is our group photo! Hilarious!  But we will never forget it!  We joked just a few years ago we had group club pictures.  So we got a good work out taking the kids to see Santa. 

Did you take your kids to see Santa?
