From the Big D to the DC*


A couple weeks ago, I got a tweet from Kiah asking me how far was Fairfax from where I live. I immediately got excited! The only reason one would ask that question is because that person is planning on visiting. And that's exactly what happened!

I watched this show bundled up under the covers battling a flu. Yay me!

Up A Notch


I wanted to spruce up a bit. Go a little glam, if you know what I mean. Hey, I was celebrating CapFABB's 1st birthday. It had to be done.

CapFABB Meetup: Cities Restaurant & Lounge



Event: CapFABB Anniversary Soiree
Where: Cities Restaurant & Lounge

Summary: CapFABB is one years old! I remember the first meetup I went to. (Oh gosh, look how horrible my pictures were back then! But then again, it was taken with my camera phone. But still. Ugh.) April 2011. Yo, time flies when you're having so much fun!  And I definitely am with this blogger group. I have met so many great bloggers...great PEOPLE...through this group. Attended awesome events due to this group. It has really brought me a lot of joy this past year. So, of course, I headed off to Cities to celebrate CapFABB's one year anniversary. Hosted by H Bloom, this was truly a wonderful event. Open bar, great food, a photo booth and a flower bar. That's right, a flower bar. At the flower bar, attendees were encouraged to create a bouquet, corsage, bib or even a fascinator (which seemed to be the popular choice of the night). Congratulations Liz & Lacey, co-founders of CapFABB! Wishing this group many more successful years to come!

Alrighty, you know what time it is. Pictures time! Enjoy.

Hangin' with Blogger Friends


The great thing about this whole social media phenomenon is getting to meet new people who share the same interests as you do. In this case, fashion/beauty blogging. From there, you may even get the opportunity to hang out with these folks outside of the usual fashion and/or blogging events.

This year's awards show sucked.

R.I.P. Whitney Houston

I haven't updated this blog in more than 2 weeks. I was actually in the midst of posting a style post when my brother told me that Whitney Houston is dead. Without hesistation I said, "Boy, be quiet", and kept it moving. Of course, I hopped on Google and nothing came up. Then I went to my next source, Twitter. It was confirmed there. Finally, I turned on my TV to CNN and it was breaking news.

So sad. 48 years young. A great talent has left us tonight.

*le sigh*

I'll leave you with my favorite Whitney song, "When You Believe":
