30 For 30: Day 29

Day 29 of 30 For 30– Something you could never get tired of doing.

This evening I was invited to attend the media preview of Crystal Couture – A fashion show & sale brings 40 of DC’s most stylish boutiques and designers all under one roof. I don’t think I would ever get tired of going to fashion events and taking pictures! I absolutely love it!!! I’ll post the rest of the pictures from the event this week.

Only 1 more day left of the challenge!

The Nail Files: Perfectly Pink & Neon

On Friday I could not stop admiring my own nails!!! I caught myself just staring at them throughout the day. Later that night I tweeted a picture saying:

A few people wanted to know the color so I figured I’d share a nail post with everyone.

Milani Nail Lacquer in Paradise Pink and Totally 80s

This was my first time trying Milani polishes and I am very impressed! The application was slightly streaky but for $4 Paradise Pink may be my new favorite! I also picked up two Spring colors from Revlon that were also buy one, get one 50% off at CVS.

Sunshine Sparkle is a faint yellow with iridescent little sparkles. It used about 3 coats and  finished it off with Seche Vite dry fast top coat! I love Seche Vite! It is a definite beauty must have if you do your nails yourself

People have been buzzing about Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips so when I saw them for 75% off I didn’t hesitate to get them. Since neon is making a comeback for the Spring I got picked two neon brights: Squeezed and Groove. I can’t wait to try them!

What’s on your nails? Any new polishes I need to try?

29 Days of Solange

It’s no secret that I am a fan of Solange Knowles and her style! For the month of February she has teamed up with British Vogue to share her fashion and style choices everyday! It’s only been two days and I’m digging the fashion feature! I’ll be checking faithfully to see what she’s wearing every day for the rest of this month over at British Vogue.

“I always believed that style was more important than fashion. They are rare, those who imposed their style while fashion makers are so numerous.” Yves Saint Laurent

District Dapper: Keep It Between Us

So the men of The Seventh District have spoken! They want more men’s fashion and style features. I won’t make any promises but I will try to do a District Dapper men’s post at least once a week. Last week Kelly Rowland released a video for “Keep It Between Us” with Lance Gross staring as her love interest. I couldn’t help but notice his neck piece.

His scarf is very similar if not identical the one G purchased before the holidays.

The wool scarf is a deep charcoal grey with interlocking G’s throughout it’s design.

Interested in purchasing a new authentic Gucci scarf for $229? Feel free to shoot me an email to: info@theseventhdistrict.com

I wouldn’t be mad if Lance and Kelly were a real couple! They compliment each other well and have great chemistry in the video! Check out the video!
