New Material

Material Girl August 21, 2010

By Katrice

The Material Girl line -- an '80s inspired collaboration of Madonna and her daughter Lourdes -- is old news by now. But, I'm just getting a chance to take a peek at the line for myself. I'll admit, I've had great expectations since the more mature Madonna has been pretty consistently chic for the past decade (especially the offerings of her collabo with H&M). Material Girl, however, is strikingly different.

Designer Takeover

By Katrice

Who loves designer labels without designer prices? I do! And Ross is giving other discount fashion stores a run for their money with it's growing inventory of designer offerings. I dropped in there -- expecting to be in and out, but the packed purse racks caught my attention and the rest is history. I couldn't resist whipping out my BB camera to show you what's just come in.

Pink Berry

lip gloss August 18, 2010

By Katrice

I'm on a search for the consummate pink lip color and have been for a long time. It's a mix between simply loving the sumptuousness of a good gloss and the plethora of blush tones. I find one and by the next season I'm on to another that I like better or get the itch to start searching for a fresher option. My lips are actually berry colored, and I have been told by more than one makeup counter associate that I should stick to berry tones. I'm glad now that I was persistent enough to keep searching on my own. Here are a few of my favs. #Love

Revlon Beyond Natural Cream Lipgloss, Rose

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor, Warm Me Up

NYX Goddess of the Night Lipgloss with Mega Shine, Smokey Look

Fab Find: CHA CHA Samples

CHA CHA Samples August 17, 2010

By Katrice

Let me start by apologizing in advance to my friends (sorry T :), who like me, find ourselves browsing Etsy as if we can't resist frequently stopping by the online market. The truth is, we can't. And, my fab find CHA CHA Samples will certainly make it that much more difficult to stay away. Combining luxurious leather with quality linings and hardware, Canadian designer Lori Chalmers creates one of a kind pieces that are as functional as they are lovely. She launched the line in 2007 to satisfy her own fetish for handbags to which I say: Thank heavens for connoisseurs like her through which I am able to live vicariously and sustain my own handbag penchant.

Leather Shoulder Bag in Aviator Brown , $114

Purple Leather Bow Belt, $15

Leather Clutch with leather bow, $39

If you are in the Toronto area, Chalmers invites you to stop into the studio and shop in person.

Thanks T. Bennings.

Dine at Dusk

4th and Swift August 15, 2010

Dress, Forever 21

Earrings, H&M

Ivory Bracelet, Barbados Artist Market

Ahhhh, birthdays ... another wonderful reason to get all dolled up. My cousin was in town this weekend with her sister to celebrate her day in fab fashion and we did it up. She chose to dine at 4th & Swift in the Old Fourth Ward of Atlanta, which occupies what was formerly the engine room to Southern Dairies. Dim and sultry, 4th & Swift retains the exposed brick, concrete and beams with updates of warm woods, rich fabrics, brushed metals and soft lighting. In an exhibition kitchen facing the dining room, its chefs specialize in dishes like Maryland Blue Crab Cake, Hazelnut Crusted Blue Ridge Trout and "Bistro Steak" -- their exceptional spin on comfort foods. An evening with high heels and comfort foods ... Does it get any better than that?
