some people are born fashionistas, the rest of us just need a little help
If you’re in the Atlanta area Labor Day weekend, there will be two events going on that you should check out. Presented by the Advocate Management Group, Lo End Theory is a series of events that pay homage to a group of youth who bonded over a lifestyle based on the notions of loyalty, self expression through fashion and survival. They also bonded over the classic clothing brand, Ralph Lauren.
Highlighting the philanthropic heart of Lo End Theory, the Atlanta event series will feature a block party, artist showcase and a brunch to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. You guys know that I am always encouraging you to find your voice in fashion and I love the opportunity to support an event based on that idea alone. Something you may not know is that I’m also a big fan of supporting worthy causes so a fabulous event with a charitable contribution will always be number one in my book.

If you’re going to be in Atlanta this week and are interested in learning more about makeup and how to apply it, you should definitely check out this class hosted by P3 Lab and Mimi J Artistry. I know I’m always talking about visiting a makeup counter for help but if you have an opportunity to attend a class that’s not too expensive (this one is $20 in advance, $25 the day of the event), you should take it. Click on the picture below to be taken to the website so you can purchase your ticket. Since I won’t be able to attend myself, I would love to hear how it went and I can share your thoughts on the blog.
Ok, I’m sure you’re looking at the title thinking that this is not a food blog by any means and you would be right. However, I do enjoy watching The Food Network and trying new recipes. Plus, one thing I’ve learned about looking good is that it includes taking care of your total body, inside and out. So as I work to improve my total well being, I’ve begun to pay more attention to the type of food I put in my body, hence my participation in this bake sale.
I learned about the National Food Bloggers Bake Sale on twitter. The Georgia coordinator of the event was this lovely lady named Tami Hardeman who is an Atlanta-based food stylist who runs the blog, www.runningwithtweezers.com. She posted about the bake sale and said they were looking for food bloggers or bloggers who like food. Since I fall in the second category, I volunteered to make some vanilla chocolate cherry cookies and help out day of the event.
It was a beautiful day in Atlanta for the sale and the goodies that had been donated were wonderful. This was definitely not your typical bake sale. There was fresh baked brioche, pumpkin bread, rosemary shortbread cookies, cocochip doodles, red velvet minis, chocolate sheet cake, chocolate candies, chocolate chip cookies, rice krispy treats and so many more goodies. It was all very beautifully packaged and all of the proceeds went to Share Our Strength, an organization dedicated to ending child hunger. I made a lovely slide show with some pictures from the event. Check them out!
I spent the morning with some lovely food bloggers with equally lovely blogs.
