Swapnista Spring 2012

OK Guys I had the pleasure of going to Swapnista this weekend!

First let me tell you this was the best event that I have been to ever! I had the best time here!

This event was hosted by Keren (Two Stylish Kay)

She was so sweet and nice very down to earth!

It was held at Little Rock's very own Fashion Designer Diva Korto Momolu studio

OK words can not express how much fun I had at this event I got to meet some fellow bloggers also I took my little sister Markita along with me! This event is a thifters heaven on earth! The bloggers did a fashion show of the latest trends color blocking and tribal etc...I didn't get any pictures b/c I was in it of course but it was fun Starr won her dress was GREAT!!!!  

The Fashion Swap: What happens is you take 3 items that are barely worn or never worn before, jewelry, or perfume etc...You register in and get a number. We went 4 at time around the shopping area for 5 mins to pick out 3 items that we wanted! The thrill of those 5 mins was so fun!!!And then after everyone went they did a countdown 5,4,3,2,1.....! And then we were all able to grab whatever we wanted!!!

OMG! I can't wait until next year! Me and my sister talked about it all night long! We got to meet new people make new friends it was very fun! I hope they bring more events like this to our area!!!

Thank you so much Keren for bringing this to us!!!!!! I hope you come back next year or in the next few months!!! LOL I have enclosed some pictures below of the event:-)

Name of Your Business: SHIIZMII (she~is~me)

When did you start your business??

(Toni)

Where would you like to see your business in the next 5 years??

Our plans are to turn SHIIZMII into a thriving success. Our expertise, loyalty and exceeding expectations are what set us apart. We envision our brand on national build boards, campaigns, sponsors for more charity and community events. We want SHIIZMII to not only be known for the fabulous collections we carry but also known as a company bridging the gap between women and connecting young girls by fashion, empowerment, motivation etc ..

What advise can you give someone that would like to start their own business like you did??

ToniMarie: Honestly this is really simple to me, if you have a goal or dream, do it. It may cliché but if you outline your goals, set a plan, research research research and pray over it! Everything will take its course and fall right where it needs to.

Brittany: If someone is interested in starting their own company, I say go for it!! If it is truly something that you are passionate about and it makes you happy as an individual then why not. I feel there is no right or wrong way to start a company, there are so many ways to go about it.

What is your favorite quote or Motto???

Brittany: " I am shaped and FASHIONED by what I love. Letting the beauty of what I love be what I do."

ToniMarie: "Your only competition is with yourself, you are your greatest enemy. When you remove fear and doubt add confidence and faith that's when power takes over

Where is the Sunshine?

Hey Guys! I hope everyone is having a great day and your weekend was great.

I know I hate writing sad post but here lately I have had a lot of things going on in my life. Dont get me wrong I thank God for the good, the ugly, and the most diffcult times that I have had. The reason being is because they make me stronger!

I have just been through so much here lately I want to ask God when are you going to lighten up on me! LOL Like when will I have a happy day,weekend, or  just a fun day where I feel appreciated. I dont want to go into details but I have been really stressed over some issues.

It seems like everyone else is happy around me expriencing new things and new adventures in their life and I get to one spot or place in my life and I am just stuck there! I am really stressed I want to give up sometimes but then I have a little talk with the most important man in my life and thats God. He keeps telling me to keep on trying, to keep going and that this is just not my season at this time. God also told me not to stress over things that can't be changed. Such as things that I have lost material things, jobs, relationships,and friendships! I have been really hurt lately by some events that have took place in my life, but I get so happy and relieved when God comes to me and says that You dont have to worry Tracy I took this or that away for your good and because I love you:-)
I just know that God is telling me that its not my season and things will get better!
I dont want to question God but I just hope the storm is over soon:-(

Meet Shatiah

Your Name or (Nickname that you would like to go by)

ü  Tiah, Lo or Tiah-Lo J

How would you describe your personal style in 3 WORDS??

ü  Edgy, Vintage, Fun!

Do you follow trends or make up your own rules??

ü  A little bit of both!  I usually make up my own rules to new trends!

Who are some of your favorite designers?

ü  Hmmm! I loved Alexander McQueen and Jeffery Campbell is hot too!  I love his creativity with his shoes!

What are your main beauty items that you carry with you on a daily basis?

ü  Lipstick!  I have tons of it throughout my purse and random places in my car!

What are five MUST have clothing items that YOU think a girl must have??

ü  Every girl must have a blazer, a nude pump, their favorite pair of jeans and accessories.  Usually that alone will get you through, LOL!

Blackberry or Iphone?

ü  iPhone, duh ;-)

Forever21 or H&M?

ü  Hmmm, this is slightly difficult.  I love H&M’s style and quality but Forever21 has a better fit (in my opinion). 

Heels or Flats?

ü  Depends on how I feel, LOL!

Who's style do admire most?(Can be anyone!! Not just someone famous) and Why??

ü  I love: Rihanna, Angela Simmons and LaLa Anthony!  I love their style because it’s street.  I’m not really into runway fashion as much as most fashion lovers would be.  If I can’t wear it on the street then it’s no point!

Are there any blogs or websites that you follow for inspiration? If so who??

ü  It’s not…I just use my imagination J

(P.S. I stole this pic of Shatiah I thought it was a cute face shot! LOL Sorry Tiah LOL)

Describe your blog or website what should your followers expect from you??

ü  My blog is really just about being Y0U in whatever you wear.  It’s mainly to provide women with confidence, spiritual growth and more.

What is your favorite Quote and what does it mean to you??

ü  I don’t have a favorite quote, bummer!

What can people expect from you in the future?(Blogs,Projects,etc...)

ü  I am actually in the process of designing my own line of sunglasses so stay tuned!
