This past Tuesday, Neiman Marcus Atlanta held a book signing event hosted by Hpnotiq Harmonie for Tinsley Mortimer’s debut novel, Southern Charm. We did a little meet and greet with Tinsley while nibbling on cake pops & macaroons and sipping on a few delicious Hpnotiq Harmonie cocktails.  It was a cool way to spend a chill evening and make some new friends.

 

 

I love summer cocktails and the Hpnotiq Minty Julep was my personal fave.  We all received a signed copy of Tinsley’s Southern Charm and also recipes for the delicious drinks.

Southern Charm: 1.5 oz HPNOTIQ Harmonie & 1.5 oz Champagne

Minty Julep: Equal parts HPNOTIQ Harmonie and St. Germain, 1.5 oz Gin, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup, Splash of soda with a mint garnish.

Try it out!  Thank me later!!

 

 

 

Nobody throws a party like our friends at Bedlam!!  Barry Brandon & the gang celebrated their second anniversary at Ilounge(the spot where they threw their first party).  AND Of course, it was a f*cking blast!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for not posting this sooner!!  I completely forgot about the aaaaaaaahhhmazing show I attended in Lagos. The Collection from Ella & Gabby exceeded my expectations. I am a sucka for African print with a modern spin and this line was spot on. Check the pics of some of the clothes and also of the stylish Lagosians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I visited the souls at Oakland Cemetery this past weekend.  I’ve passed by the historic cemetery thousands of times and decided to finally take the plunge.  I don’t hang around graveyards but if I did, this would be my favorite.  It was a very beautiful and peaceful experience that I highly recommend.

Cannot Wait!!!!!!  This will be the pool party of the year!!  And I already know which pair of Speedo’s I’ll be wearing!!!

 

 

Check out the great post and cool pics that Eboni from The Fashionista Next Door did on High Society.

Last Friday  night was amazing!!  High Society was everything I wanted it to be.  Barry Brandon did a superb job hosting!  Eudora June, Jean Kelley, Apollo Levine, Jae Michelle & Jordan Antonia all got on stage and sang their asses off!!  The crowd was soooooooo stylish!  The venue was perfect!  And the drinks were flowing the entire night.

My favorite part is that when I looked around everyone was dancing, socializing and genuinely enjoying themselves.  I can’t tell you how often I go to parties and people are just standing around.  It was refreshing to see people actually having fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stay tuned for more from the party….

I’m still recovering from this past week so it may be a few days before I post something about High Society; luckily, we had some other great people covering the event.

Check out A Thrift Life to see some great pics from the night.  Thanks Brian!!

I’ve been in Lagos for almost a week and it has been very busy; between having clothes made and the events I’ve attended, I have barely had enough time to sleep. Most weddings suggest a colour scheme and often sell the fabric of their choice and in an effort to show support, friends and family buy the fabric and come dressed in garments they designed. There are tailors everywhere who with enough guidance can sew you some really cool clothes. So far, I have attended several parties and have a few more coming up. I attended a friends wedding yesterday and here are some pictures of really stylish attendees.  This wedding had over a thousand guests and held no bars when it came to entertainment and food. The people here literally party from noon till dawn and they do it all over again the following day.
