Hair and Hip Hop Atlanta

Morning Ladies!!  I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Hair and Hip Hop event given by the fabulous Lexi of CurlyGirlLexi and Danielle of StyleNBeautyDoc.  It featured celebrity stylist Gabi and K.Michelle of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.  the event took place at the GlamBar which was an experience in its self!!

 

  

There were tons of ladies in the building.  We are able to ask Gabi any questions we had about our own hair care.  One thing I learned that I didn’t know was that women of color should wash their hair once every 4 to 5 days!!  I never thought we could do that. 

  

Also, Gabi talked about clip in hair pieces.  Now I had no clue these were made for women of color either.  She gave out 2 of these hair pieces.  So we learned a lot of healthy hair tips from the celebrity stylist Miss Gabi who will be relocating to the ATL area, so what out for that!!!

We also were able to talk to one of the stars of the new show Love and Hip Hop Atlanta the beautiful and talented Miss K. Michelle.  This young lady is so amazing.  I normally do not watch this show, but after meeting her I definitely will be watching this rising star.  She say a little piece of s song for us, and let me tell you ladies, baby girl can really sing!!!!  So be sure to check out Love and Hip Hop Atlanta this season!!

And of course, Fashionable Atlanta was in the building.

 

   

 

So here I am.  I took these at the end of the night, so sorry if I look exhausted!!  I am wearing an entire thrifted outifit.

Not Your Daughter Jeans                       $3.50

And the Oscar Goes to . . .

Last night was Oscar Night, and the fabulous fashions did not disappoint.  Here are the CurvieBirdies showing their gorgeous gowns of the evening.

Melissa McCarthy’s dress is one of my favorites.  It is so beautiful and elegant.  It was a custom blush colored Marina Rinaldi gown with a jeweled neckline detail.

Viola Davis won all of our hearts in “The Help” where she played a nanny/housekeeper when Jim Crow Laws where still in effect.   Viola wore a custom Vera Wang emerald green corseted faille gown with floral crystal applique and draped chiffon pleated skirt. Not only is this woman extremely talented, but I love the fact she wore her own natural hair to the Oscars.

Octavia Spencer is gorgeous in this  Tadashi Shoji dress.   I can’t even think of words to describe how beautiful the dress is and she was .  Congrads on your first Oscar!!!!
