The Gathered Fashion Spread (June 1, 2013)

Happy Saturday! I'm sure you were bummed about missing our spread last week, but no worries, we have a super spread full of Memorial Weekend fashion! If you didn't know it, LA was poppin! The hiphop party of the year Grits & Biscuits came to the west coast at the House of Blues in Hollywood. Not only was it a fun night with banging music, the fashion did not fail to impress. And because the party targets college alumni, it was a mostly gathered event. Hot? Heck yes. A few technical problems? sure. Worth it? Yezzur! If you are just now hearing about this event, there's always next year. Thanks to our friends at Watermelon Democracy (yes, the same brand that made Bree's super cute Love Dont Lye tee!) we were in the loop! Check out their blog for the latest and greatest hip-hop music, news, style and assorted dope content!

As for the Grits and Biscuit fashion...check out the fashionable crowd below. We saw several styles being rocked from previous posts. Oh how we love that!

But the fun didn't end with Grits & Biscuits Party. Sunday kicked off the annual Jazz & Reggae Festival at UCLA  featuring one of my favorite artists Santigold and of course Common. Although there were some ungathered individuals roaming about, they were the minority! We loved all of the different casual cool styles out in the sun. Check out these hot women who made our spread! Also, major props to the gathered gentlemen who impressed us and made the cut!

Weekend Fashion Mash-up (May 11, 2013): The perfect smokey eye

Cheers to the weekend! It's Saturday and the perfect opportunity to rock some sexy weekend style. Check out the videos below for the sultry smokey eye. The first video is great for beginners and women with darker skin tones. The second video is a "dark clubbing smokey eye" and she uses a lot more products, which is better for ladies with advanced make-up skills. Watch both to master the technique.

Happy Mother's Day to all the gathered women who continue to give to their families and love their children! You deserve gifts! Daughters, did you forget your mother's day present? Shame on you! No worries, Macy's is having a 1 day sale TODAY both in store and online, so you have time! 

Here's a style inspiration that I would wear to rock the smokey eye!
