Father of the Day: Wade Montgomery

Last week I announced the first ever Father's Day feature and I'm super happy to introduce you to a phenomenal father, Wade Montgomery! I've known Mr. Montgomery for quite sometime now, so I'm pleased to feature him. Check out what his daughter, Ashlee has to say about her Daddy below: 


"There is no one in this world like my daddy, he is truly what I call “one of a kind” and I couldn’t be without his sly charm and his undeniable out of this world humor!" 


"His sense of style (so GQ) is still amazing to me at 57 years of age and most importantly my daddy is a God fearing man, a man that is in love with God …what could get more better than that!" 


"He is my right hand man and I thank God for him! He is a father of 8, a grandfather of 11, and a great-grandfather of 1 … he’s the glue that holds us together …xo!"



Special Thanks to Ashlee! We wish Mr. Wade Montgomery a Happy Father's Day and many more!!

HAIR INSPIRATION: Bun it up!

One thing that all my girlfriends know about me is my obsession with my hair! I like every strand in place and I like to re-invent my look from time to time, so that "time" has come and I'm drawing hair inspiration everywhere. I've always been a lover of the "bun it up" routine, why? because it's sleek, elegant and sometimes all you need to accentuate your outfit! Buns have become the "quick fixes to a mess" hair routine for decades, SO only right that it's a celebrity favorite. It's a very easy hairstyle that requires 5 minutes of your time. Check out my favorite buns that I'll be rocking this Summer <3 










Are you bunning it up this Summer?! SPEAK ON IT.

FASHION NEWS: Giuliana Rancic Set To Launch Affordable Clothing Line!


Fashion Police & E! News Correspondent, Giuliana Rancic can add another title to her name. The soon-to-be Fab-Mommy & now Fashion Designer is set to launch an affordable clothing line for HSN entitled, G by Giuliana. We hear the collection will debut later this year. Giuliana says, “It’s super affordable, easy to just wear...I’ll be wearing it on my shows. I think people are really going to like it.” Apparently, Giuliana's father was a master tailor in Naples, Italy, which inspired her designer dreams. That's amazing! I heart Italians hustle! Giulana also says, “He’s always had clothing stores and had men’s and women’s clothing, so I’ve always had fashion running in my veins..But I’m not crazy, not delusional; I didn’t try to do a line and sell it to the top department stores with a crazy price tag. I just wanted something that everyone could get.” Congrats to Giuliana! Hard work pays off and I'm glad to see a Maryland Gal shining. Can't wait to see the collection :)

FASHION NEWS: The Devil Wears Prada, The Sequel!


I'm super excited to announce that there will be a sequel to the The Devil Wears Prada! The author of The Devil Wears Prada, Lauren Weisberger, is writing a sequel! Let the Fashion Gods say "Amen!" Back in 2003, The Devil Wears Prada became a bestselling semi-autobiographical novel about Anna Wintour and the fashion industry. It went on to inspire the hit 2006 film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. According to Entertainment Weekly Weisberger is working on Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, a sequel to her debut novel that became a film classic. Simon & Schuster will be publishing the follow-up in April 2013, just ten years after the original. Isn't this great news?! I've missed Andy and of course Miranda!

The Revenge Wears Prada comes back just eight years after Andy parted ways with Miranda on bad terms in 2006. Andy is now editing The Plunge, a very popular bridal magazine, alongside Emily, her current BFF. While Andy is busy planning her own wedding to her beau, Max, she remains haunted by her former boss, Miranda. Anyone else ready to hear an “Ahn-dre-ah” in the mix?!

HAPPY FRIDAY!


I've been kinda obsessed with this picture of Solange for awhile now! She was spotted in the streets of NYC on Mother's Day looking fabulous walking beside her bike. What's not love about this picture? From the adorable basket, red see-through purse, yellow top with matching shorts, curly bush & fab sunnies...oh and don't forget that matte red lip! This picture reads "Summa Summa Time!" And since we are officially on the brinks of Summer days, this picture is the perfect way to start the weekend! I need to rent a bike for the day and just ride around the city...puts on my to-do list.

In other news, I really can't believe it's Friday already....where did the week go?! I'm not complaining but, this week really flew by. I intend on catching up on lots of R&R this weekend and maybe some online shopping for my upcoming trips (there are tons of sales going on!). I hope everyone has great weekend and Happy 1st of June Beautiful People! :)
