Look of The Day!

Last night, I went to a charity event hosted by William Wilson at JetPool for Autism Speaks. Where some charity events can be stuffy, this one was lots of fun. Held in a hanger at JetPool, catered by Ruth's Chris, with sponsors like Rolls Royce, Remy Martin and Motor Trenz , it was one of the fun events! Free drinks, good food and EYE CANDY (nice cars)!

I wore this bCbG dress but surprise...it's like shorts underneath :) I can never have a Brittney experience and the wind can never blow my dress up so it's a win! I am pocket obsessed when it comes to dresses and skirts, this one has pockets hidden in the pleats of the skirt, so lip gloss is never far away. I love these shoes, they're a fairly low wedge but they don't look squatty, lol. They're so summery because of the cutouts and I just love them.

Look Of The Day!

I really have the best neighbors! Like, seriously...I have a whole building full of great people. It's so much fun meeting new people and going to different events with them. Last week, I went to a fun pasta dinner at my neighbor's house. I brought yummy treats from Amelie's (of course), Moravian Cookies and Starborough :) Here's what I wore!

I love Madewell and it really is so much fun every time I go there. Aside from it being a good time, the clothes are cute :)

So, here's the thing, Madewell is having a style event at Southpark Mall on May, 17th (6-8pm), complete with tips from style experts, yummy snacks and a great one-time-only deal! I love a good deal :)

I'll be there and I can't wait to get my hands on the newest goodies in the store...PLUS, I'm forever in their sale section!

Make it a girls night and invite your friends for a fun time. Just think...you + your 2 best friends trying on super cute outfits, relaxing and having a great time. Perfect.

Look Of The Day!

This Saturday, I went to the opening of the Behailu Academy in NoDa. It was a great event and this new academy will fund so many children's arts education...which I'm such a big fan of! Having grown up dancing and having a life-long love of the arts, it's really nice that other people also see how special the arts are to children. Here's what I wore.

Look Of The Day!

This Friday I went to a charity dodgeball tournament. It was a lot of fun and the participants raised like $70,000 for the new women's shelter that's being built in Charlotte! United Family Services does really great work in our community to help victims of domestic abuse.

Here's me walking my dog, Roxy, after the tournament :)

Strapless Bras

So, I got a question about what strapless bra I wear. I have a bunch of them from buying, trying to find the perfect one, not unlike others. When it comes to strapless bras, you really have to go through trial and error, regardless of what size breasts you have.

I have 2 main bras that I wear.

The first one is what I wear if the dress or shirt has a sweetheart neckline or if I want cleavage. I like that it has a molded cup and underwire because it keeps me from looking droopy. It also doesn't have any padding which is great because most of the ones that I see have it and I don't want any extra in there! It's really good at separating since it's got that inch or two if fabric in between...keeps you from having a uni-boob.

The other is probably my favorite because it's a minimizer. I've always had pretty big boobs and it's not always what I want to showcase! So this bra is kind of like an ace bandage made of lace :) I like that it's really tight...I actually wish I'd bought it in a size smaller...like the number, not the letter. It's good because it's got a rubbery material on the inside at the top to make sure it doesn't slide down. It also has an underwire and the space that eliminates uni-boob. I wear this bra when the shirt or dress is loose fitting and has a straight horizontal neckline.

Room Tour...Forthcoming

I've gotten a few requests for a room tour and home decor post. I would love to do both, plus an office/ studio tour and one day I will. This leads me to the point of this post... I feel like I shouldn't do a tour until the room is clean. Right? If I do a tour and there's stuff all over the place, it's gonna look a mess. Oooorrrr, will y'all be like "She's so real!" and love it!?!?! Decisions, decisions.

Well, I'll let you guys decide. I need your help, so tell me whether to:

1. Do the tours in my room's current state (messy)
2. Clean up (which will take a few days), then do the tour
3. Don't do it at all because it sounds uninteresting

Please, COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT!

Working Out When you Can

I hate to hear people say they don't have time to workout ok, true, people are busy and I'm not the busiest person ever BUT, of it's important to you, you'll find the time! When you have an hour lunch and it only takes you 20 minutes to eat, when your kid is at dance class, whatever. Take a walk, do some jumping jacks, just get your heart rate up!

So little A, who's 7 now, is at tennis practice and I just finished the 100 Workout. It took me about 25 minutes and now I don't feel bad about what I ate at the Fair last night 😊

I got this workout from @beautifulbosom's Instagram






Hope you guys can find time to sneak in a workout every day!
