MAC Alert: Jeanius Collection for Spring 2011

Is there anything more enduring (besides love and heartbreak) than denim? Jeanius is celebration of the journey – country cousin to haute couture – the whole world wanted to go on since America made it a national obsession. Since tooth-and-nail workwear jumped the pond in farmer’s overalls to gussy up in the glam of the great Paris couture houses…France may take the credit for creating it in 18th-century Nimes (de NĂ®mes = DeNim), but bright young American women took it higher! M∙A∙C keeps up with a Jeanius collection of moody blues and indigo ink, the quantum of modern cool, with four new limited-life denimized Eye Shadows, along with new limited-life shades of Lipstick, Lipglass, Blush and Biker Blue & Frayed to Order Nail Lacquer. 
Like the faux-metal “snap” on the Eye Shadow…completely riveting.

The Jeanius collection is available now through April 7, 2011 at MAC counters and www.maccosmetics.com

Hair Deal of the Day: Dominican Wash, Set & Blow Out for Half Price

via: WPGC.com

There is perhaps nothing more luxurious than the feeling you'll have leaving an experienced Dominican salon after a lavish wash and set, followed by a professional blow out. You'll just love how your bouncy tresses feel as you strut down the street. But why go to a salon where inexperienced stylists use intense heat and a heavy hand, which end up damaging your 'do. Get the perfect look at Sinta's (I can attest they are the best)!

Take advantage of today's deal and pay only $20 for a Dominican wash, set, and blow out at
Sintia's Dominican Salon ($40 value). This is a HAIR steal!!

Walk-Ins are available:

Sintia's Dominican Salon
Landover Crossing Shopping Center
8581 Landover Road
Landover , MD
301.685.5787

Thanks Portia!

...I felt inspired when I saw this photo! I'm putting together a few Spring/Summer looks for myself and I definitely got ideas after seeing this simple but chic look. Kim Kardashian knows STYLE so there's no doubt that she seems to look almost effortless when she steps out! Love her!

Chilli Spills Her Beauty Secrets & Eating Habits to Glamazon!

The flawless and ageless Chilli from everyone's favorite R&B group Chilli spilled her beauty secrets with Glamazons Blog! Like the average 20 something female who battles little outbreaks and trying to balance a healthy diet I've always wondered what kept Chilli looking so beautiful over the years. I mean, seriously, have you seen her skin? She glows at movie premieres, red carpet events and even on her hit show "What Chilli Wants"! I can't stop starring at her I'm obssessed with her amazing body as well, for a petite person she definitely knows how to stay in shape! I definitely learned a few tips from this interview!
Check out snippets from Chilli's interview with Coutura from Glamazons Blog!

Coutura: What products do you rely on to keep your natural hair healthy and beautiful?
Chilli: One thing I’ve realized about natural hair is you need moisture. That’s the key. You have to find a product that really hydrates the hair. Drinking a lot of water helps that also.

Coutura: How do you keep your skin ageless, flawless and glowing?

Chilli: (laughs) It’s a combination of things. One, I don’t drink or smoke. I drink water and milk. I’ll have some tea on occasion but water and milk is what I drink all the time. And I do those things you’re supposed to do: wash your face in the morning and at night. I exfoliate. I get my chemical peel treatment once a month. It’s really about exfoliation, getting that dead layer of skin off. And really try to drink as much water as you can to flush out all the impurities.

Coutura: I follow you on Twitter and last weekend, you tweeted about eating habits. How do you stay in such great shape? What foods do you stay away from?

Chilli: People on twitter ask me all the time, ‘What should I do?’ And instead of telling them, I ask ‘What do you think you should you take out of your diet?’ and they tell me. And I say ‘Well, that’s your answer.’ We all know but we need that extra push. When you choose to live longer and healthier, you make those changes. Take care of your temple and it’ll take care of you. As far as food, I don’t do a lot of bread, refined sugar or fried foods.  And of course, I don’t eat pork (laughs). Sometimes I break down and go to Rahim’s in Atlanta. It’s the best fried fish I’ve ever had in my life. Other than that, I stay away from those foods.

Happy Spring! 

I'm definitely in the Springy Mood and I will make no apologies for my overly happy and bubbly hora. I had a fabulous weekend and I'm glad I got the chance to spend time with the one's I truly love and adore.

We are super excited about the future of Ms. Style and Grace and grateful to have everyone apart of our journey!

Michelle Obama's Brazilian Weekend Style!


  Our 1st family has jet-setted off to Brazil for the weekend and didn't leave their fashion scene behind. Per Michelle Obama's usual she stunned the crowed in her beautiful ensemble from the time she stepped on the plane until the time she left! She looks beyond beautiful and I'm very happy to see Maliah and Sasha following in the footsteps of their Mom. Check out a few picture's of Mrs. Obama in Brazil below. 


The first family has arrived in Brazil for a state visit. After landing, the Obamas were joined by Brazilian President Dilma Vana Rousseff to participate in an arrival ceremony at Palacio do Planalto in Brasilia. Later, First Lady Mrs. O attended cultural performances at Oca da Tribo restaurant. 






Michelle wore a fabulous embellished dress as she arrived at the Palacio do Alvorada in Brasilia, Brazil on Saturday. Are you loving her looks so far? She is definitely a woman of Style and Grace!
