8 Red Lipsticks on My Lips for the Holidays

I've crowned myself as the queen of red lips.  Since I wear so much red, I thought I would go through my stash to swatch some of my favorite reds.  I shaved my mustache and went to work with the best holiday reds starting at $6!  

Skinny Sangria #SweetNLowStars

This week I made my Sweet’N Low Skinny Sangria as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SweetNLowStars.

The kids are heading back to school. Time to celebrate with a new drink recipe! I won't judge you if you make this drink after putting your kids on the bus. Better yet, invite the other moms in the neighborhood to join you in celebratory back to school toast with this guilt free Skinny Sangria!

Low-Cal Strawberry Amaretto Freeze #SweetNLowStars

This week I made my Sweet’N Low Strawberry Amaretto Freeze as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SweetNLowStars.

I may be on journey to loose a few several pounds but I won’t be giving up my “mommy” drinks for nobody.  I conveniently forget that the most delicious cocktails are packed with sugar.  My so-called solution is drink water all day and save my calories for cocktails.  That sounded like a plan but I was still consuming way too much sugar.  I knew there was a better way.  I created my first guilt-free, low carb drink using Sweet’NLow.

Mama Holiday Party Look

Happy New Years Eve!  Who is ready to get their celebration on?  We plan on bringing in the New Year at church tonight.  Something I have always done.  I think I may have went out to party two or three times for NYE.  Just because I'm not going out tonight doesn't mean I haven't been getting my celebration on.  Before Christmas, I headed out to celebrate the holidays with some girl friends.  Instead of just putting on a dress I decided to put on my new "polar bear" coat and a sequin skirt.

Casual in Camo

I've been in casual dress mode lately.  I think its due to the fact that I can't fit anything in my closet!  I also have Fall on the brain and want to wear pants and jackets all the time!  I stepped out in these camo pants last Friday to celebrate my girl Lexi with the Curls birthday.  Sorry for the blurry pictures.  I wasn't going to post these at all so I tried to work with what I had.

Denim Dress + Rent the Runway Party

Last Thursday I attended Rent the Runway Pop-up party at the W in Buckhead!  After the crazy the crazy weeks I have been having, it was refreshing to just hang out, swoon over some fabulous dresses and chat with the homies!

Pulling it Together in Leopard + Snake Print

I am getting old (praise God)!  I can't hang like I used to!  I was out Thursday evening and Friday my bloggy buddy Tia from If I were a Brit Girl was celebrating her birthday!  I could not miss my girl's birthday but it was so hard to pull it together.  Normally I have my outfits ready to go but Friday it just didn't happen.  After an hour of pulling out clothes (that is why I pick my clothes in advance) this is what I came up with!

Boy does time fly!  Can't believe we are headed into 2013!  I want to thank you guys for all your support throughout the year!  I am sure 2013 will rock as well!  I thought I would be cool to go through some old post and pick out some of my favorite outfits that I wore last year.  I had a few "Why did I wear that" but for the most part I think I kept it together!   

JustFab Shoe Party!

I am always raving about my Just Fab shoes!  So I was super excited when my girl Danielle from The Style and Beauty Doctor included me for her Just Fab Holiday Party in Atlanta at Tee and Quotes.

Girls Night at Bebe Stores with The Fashionista Next Door

Last Thursday night, one of my bloggy besties, Eboni from Fashionista Next Door, hosted a fabulous event at Bebe sponsored by Lucky Magazine!  Even though traffic was CRAY in ATL on Thursday, I knew the night was going to be awesome when I was invited by Eboni to join her in a limo to the event!  That's how we roll! LOL! Not really! But that was fun!

Thank You guys for all the wonderful Birthday Wishes!  It was a great one!  The party got started on Saturday night with a girls night out with my buddies!  I did not take any pictures before I headed out, so smart me decides to take some in the dark after being out and a few several drinks. 

Pretty City Atlanta

I don't know if you noticed but I have not been out to with any of my Bloggy Peeps in a while, besides NYFW!  Mister and I have been rolling out lately.  But I was super excited to head out for a girls night out to Pretty City's Live Beautifully Event in Atlanta at Tongue & Groove! This event celebrates adding beauty to our everyday lives.  Pretty City showcases new brands and products and  local businesses like, hair, nails & make-up offering complimentary service during the event!

Sorry for the lack of post this week.  I just made it back from a world wind week in NYC with my girl Tamara from Blitz and Glam!  I am so honored that she asked me to share in this great opportunity for the Back to Football events.  It was also NYFW so I attended Lucky Fabb where Rachel Zoe was a speaker and a few fashion parties before I returned yesterday.  A lot of my fellow ATLiens came to NYC for fashion week.  ATL crew is still there going to great shows and parties!  I have a TON of stuff to share with you guys!  So the post are going to be Bananas!!!
