Last night we went to the Fairway Gala at the Mason Murer Gallery in Atlanta. The night was put together by Nicole and Andruw Jones (NY Yankees) for, Jaden's Ladder an non-profit organization that assists survivors of domestic violence.  

Very interesting evening...with friends <3

Ps. Thank you Greg!!! 

Event: Happy Birthday Kenny!

This Thursday was Kenny's (Burns) birthday party. I may be getting old because it took me 10 minutes to die in my heels. What is going on??? I need someone to invent heels that make more sense. It was too the point where I felt like attacking this random guy on the street and steal his sneakers. The party was held at Vanquish in Midtown. Good times:)

Pharrell Launches Qream Liqueur in Atlanta

Last night was the launch of Pharrell Williams Liqueur 'Qream'. Although it was super drizzly Ruth and Alex were the troopers in our group and totally braved the weather. I on the other hand was still stuck in front of the computer. It's ok though...was on the phone w/ my one and only;)

Smooch!

To all my beautiful SHUKORINA friends!!! I want to see YOU:)

Hi everyone...you should all come and hang out with us at WHISKEY PARK, located in the W Hotel in midtown Atlanta. Hopefully I'll see you there:) Make sure to look super cute...think fun, creative, FASHION!!! I'm really excited to get to meet some of my readers. We'll have sooo much fun.

Can't wait to see you all there!

Smooch!

What a day!

Today has been a long and great day of errand running. I have no idea if I just stated an oxymoron, but I love getting things done!!! I ran my errands, H's errands and even had time to meet up with a few people as well as have some great conversations. You have to love over productive days such as these:)

After a busy morning I decided to stop by Atlantic Station and check out some of the Pop-Up stores. Obviously I got stuck at Estella Boutique's space. If you ask me, I think they should stay there forever and ever until all eternity. Everything in there is so girly and pretty!!! I'll show you guys what I got another time, it was super cute though:) 


Later on I had a loooong conversation with my gorgeous mommy, which made me super happy:)

So anyway...right now I'm harrassing a certain someone, who just asked me to stop talking...INDEFINITELY! I don't know what it is, but whenever someone asks me to be quite, I kind of want to speak even more. Don't know what that is. Could be the fact that I never really rebelled when I was younger. 

Fashion's Night Out// Atlanta Edition

Fashion's Night Out - 'A Night to Remember'

Moi

So last night was the kick-off for Fashion's Night Out in Atlanta. The event was hosted by Kenny Lattimore and Tyson Beckford and a bunch of other peeps. My buddy Michael Habachy designed the place. Anyway...it was fun. Chatted a little bit with Don aka 'the King of Jeffrey'.  Legendary model-agent Bethann Hardison was one of the evenings honorees.

At the Parkers' & and then off to Apache...

We were invited to be apart of a photo shoot for "Beyond the Game" an organization that was created to assist the widows and orphans of Swaziland, Africa. This organization is working hard to make a difference and I was proud to meet the ladies:) Girl Power!!! Sharlinda Parker was sweet enough to open her home for the shoot. I met some really great people, love it:)

"The Ultimate Gentleman's Night Out" @ Roche Bobois

Last night was the Roche Bobois event at their store in Buckhead. The place was packed and the event was of course put together by Liz Lapidus of Liz Lapidus PR. I love her parties.

Usher's World Leadership Conference & Awards 2011

To my Shukorina friends...these pictures have been hanging out on my desktop for like a month (I'm terrible, I know). Here it goes:

Usher on stage 

I was extra happy that Ted Turner was being honored for all of his philanthropic work. He truly is an inspiring man, and his message and philosophy is very simple "be of service to others", basically don't just live for yourself. It's pretty powerful.

The Buckhead mansion was HOT...not as in Paris Hilton “hot”, but as in hell “hot”. Just so you know, Atlanta is not the place to throw an outdoor party of any kind from June-August. Besides that however, Les Roberts’ BluePrint was one of the most well done events I’ve been to in Atlanta. Great crowd, nice music, interesting local businesses and a beautiful location. Don’t miss the next one.

Beautiful location.  See that sunlight in the distance…oh my!

We were “glistening”
from humidity by now.

Who says Atlanta doesn’t have great fashion designers? Check out design team Aman Stovall. They had their collection on display and a few models surfing the party.  Love this dress for myself.  Anyone want to buy it for me?

Robyn and Giancarlo. He’s such a gentleman.

Estelle's Private concert @ Reign & Vanquish

Blazer: Zara
Dress: Vintage
Bag: Chanel
Shoes: Christian Louboutin 
Hair: Messed Up!

For some reason I totally messed up with this posting. Sorry:( Thursday night I went to the private Estelle concert at Reign nightclub in midtown (Atlanta). I really like Estelle:) who doesn't, right? Rrrright?? After Reign we went to Vanquish, which is Alex Gidewon's new lounge next to the club. Super cool. Both places are designed by my buddy Michael Habachy of Habachy Designs. More than anything I really loved the crowed at Vanquish...such a great mix of great people. You have to love it!

Greg Lotus+Thornton Dial+Bill Lowe+Moi...

This past weekend we attended the 22nd year anniversary of the Bill Lowe gallery in Buckhead. Over the years the Lowe has served as a pioneer in the southern art world. The party featured Thornton Dial, who is one of the most noted artists to come out of the south, as well as photographs from fashion photographer (and my new personal favorite) Greg Lotus. I am such a sucker for beautiful high fashion photos. I could stare at them for hours. These particular photos were inspired by stories, you'll understand once you get you're cute little tush over there to check it out...

Laughing like never before...

Last night was completely filled with laughter and great times. We went to the Euro circle rooftop event at the Melia hotel (it was slightly below average) sorry...but Ruth and I could not stop laughing. It was just a fun night.

After the Melia (which I don't recommend going to) we went to meet up with some friends at the Tavern on the Green. I had so much fun:) On another note, I have decided to stop forcing people to wish me a Happy Belated Birthday. It's about that time that I retire it.

The Day of...

The 7th:

As I thought my birthday was going to be simple and spent with dinner and maybe a movie with H, I was pleasantly surprised. At 7 o'clock he picked me up and took me to Star Provisions on Howell Mill and bought me a lollipop. It was the cutest thing ever. We took our stuff to a bench with a view of "my" bridge, aka my favorite place in this city. I'm sure I'm annoying you guys like crazy right now with this drawn out story but <3

We laughed and talked and laughed some more and decided to grab something to eat. Somehow we ended up in downtown at the Sound Table which is one of my favorite eateries in Atlanta (everyone should go there).

We walk in and this is what happened...

Painting the town PINK w/ my BFF - Ruth

After our walk in the Park earlier I decided to take Big Booth to my all time favorite place in this city (Atlanta). The Sound Table on Edgewood and Blvd, downtown Atl. I'm obsessed with this place. The service is great, the place looks great...and I think this is the first time I'll ever say this but I've had every single thing on that menu and it's all great! Seriously, have you ever been anywhere where you can literally close your eyes and pick whatever off of the menu and be guaranteed that it's amazing. By the way, they have just added a patio with a bar aaaaand a DJ. Pretty cool, huh?!!

Last night Ruth, Larry and I went on the ultimate Atlanta nightlife tour. We started off at the Glenn Hotel roof top, which I loved! Such a mixed and fun crowd...my cup of tea. After that we stopped by Aurum in midtown and I actually ran into Shannon...sweet girl. She was looking fresh and refreshed...why wouldn't she though, she's spent the summer traveling all over the place. 

The other Night @ the Hudson Hotel

I wasn't planning on going anywhere, but Jeremy was throwing a party at the Hudson (Hotel)...I had to. We met up with Barri & Co and had a great time. She is such a cutie pie. The place was packed, as most of J's parties are, and everyone seemed to have a great time.

My package finally arrived from Armed & Dangerous NYC...two long charm necklaces. HAPPINESS:)

On another note, I kind of want this Azzedine Alaïa (basket) bag. I kind of like it a lot, actually I love it.

Smooch!
