I know things have been crazy and THE Blabbermouth page has gone on a temporary hiatus, but we are back and rolling again! What a fun few weeks this has been, and I cannot wait to BLAB all about it to you!
Hmmm... Where do I even begin? Lol!
These past few weeks, my sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, has been hard at work preparing down to the final moments of the annual "Live From The Pink Carpet" Fashion Show Fundraiser. This event is ALWAYS a success and is held at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, Ind. It is held by the Alpha Mu Omega chapter (Indianapolis, Ind).
This year, I was asked to be the fashion correspondent...
...And what an experience it was! A fun one!
The show was held this past Saturday, on September 7th. While most of you were snoozing the day away, I was up and on the road to Carmel by 7:30 this morning.
The make-up process for me began at 8:30 am with the beautiful ladies representing Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. This was my first time ever using Bobbi Brown products on my skin, I am usually a MAC kind of girl. However, I must say, I was MORE THAN pleased with the "after" results. Even though Bobbi Brown can be quite pricy, then again, GOOD make-up should be (you do get what you pay for), it is worth every single penny! Here is a photo to show you:

Anyway...
I fell in love with the Bobbi Brown products today simply because the make-up looks flawless, for one, and for two, it looks extremely natural (and I mean natural as in letting my features do the talking rather than my make-up color tone shades)! I was once told, "The secret to wearing make-up is to make it look like you aren't really wearing any."
I'm all for accenting the natural features in my face (as stated before), as well as using "naked" color palettes for my eye-shadows.
The foundation/concealer used on me in this photo is "Warm Almond".
My lips have a naturally darker shade than the casual pink on most people. My make-up artist chose to go with a darker lipstick, almost like a "Scarlet" tone. It's definitely darker than what I'm used to wearing, but it definitely worked out!
My hair appointment followed quickly at 10 am. My hair was curled and styled by Fantastic Sam's Hair Salon (there are several locations in Indiana, but the one that did my hair is located on 10th & Shadeland Avenue). Yes, I am wearing a weave (Brazilian), however, my natural hair is exposed on the top and bottom layers.
Now let's get on with the show!
I had a GREAT time interviewing attendees and models at this year's #LiveFromThePinkCarpet event. Attendees got to strut their stuff along the pink carpet, and have the opportunity to get an exclusive interview (by me) showcasing their outfits! A fun time...

This dress is from "Betsy & Adam", this brand can be found at Macy's. Its retail value is $170. Even though the price is a little uncomfortable for most recent college graduates, like myself, the dress alone is an EXTREMELY comfortable fit!
Since my sorority's colors are pink and green, this dress was absolutely perfect for the occasion.
Thank you Macy's, and thank you Fresh Fettle for helping swag it out on the pink carpet this morning!
Last, but certainly not least, I wanted to thank my sorors from the Alpha Mu Omega chapter for having me as their fashion correspondent. It was a great show, and be on the lookout for #PinkCarpet2014 next year!
Here are a few pictures from the event today, enjoy, and leave comments! XO!
