Brighten It Up With A Hue!

So you have the dress, the shoes, the purse and the jewelry, but you still feel as if something is missing... In those moments nothing brings together a look more than the right lip color! There is a plethora of hues to choose from nowadays from multiple brands such as MAC, Sephora, Mary Kay etc. (Tip! If you're on a budget, your trusty neighborhood drugstore or places such as Dollar Tree and even the nearest beauty supply will work just fine as well) This year's summer trends have seen the bright lip and various shades of nude make their way to the forefront.

Be daring, be bold, be subtle, be romantic and above all, be you!

We've all been there; the rummage through our closets to find that perfect outfit for a wedding! A summertime occasion calls for a simple yet elegant and comfortable approach to a great look. Below are some inspiring ideas for remaining stylish while incorporating this year's trends of floral and lace among others. 

At this rate you may accidentally upstage the bride; but shhh don't tell her...

The trend for this season can be summarized as the cat-eye meets shiny meets bold meets retro! Need a shade? Grab one of these today!

Street Fashion 2015!

One might argue that trends are more or less decided and fixed by the fashion runway gurus, but sometimes there is an abundance of inspirational styles that can be found right in your neighborhood. Fashion is an artform of its own that can interpreted in many different ways and as such  'street fashion' has emerged in recent years from seasoned fashion bloggers and fashion enthusiasts alike looking to bring their own flair to the industry!

Next time your out and about, see how many fashinistas you can spot!

The Statement Piece Necklace!

When trying to add a subtle or dazzling touch of oomph to an outfit, statement piece necklaces are a sure way to help put your best foot forward. There is an endless variety of styles to choose from, making them a very versatile way of creating multiple looks with a limited wardrobe at times. I personally am obsessed with the edgy, geometric look but be inspired by the diverse range shown below and make it work!

Swap Til You Drop!

Our first Jade Lee.org clothing swap was a complete success! Fashionista's exchanged stylish items and one fashionista's trash became another's treasure. Our swap included a couple of surprises such as delicious deductibles & refreshments, a photo booth and a giveaway of a full bag of stylish items from Candy's Beautique. The vibes were great overall!

Different women from the city of Atlanta came out to enjoy our event. Guests expressed that they really needed to clean out their closets and an event like this was definitely needed to help them in doing so. Not only was the event fun but it was for a good cause. There were so many clothes left over after the swap that we ended up donating numerous bags of clothing to Vine City.

We hope to host another clothing swap and more events in the future. We would like to say thank you to all the amazing volunteers for helping and all the lovely ladies for coming to the event! Everyone almost literally swapped until they dropped!
