Lovely Ladies Lounging!

One of the things I love to do is having dressing up and having cocktails with the girls @ our favorite lounge or resturant. Altough I'm married it gives me a personal confidence booster when I take that last look in the mirror and say "yupe you go girl" Once you in your thirties, families, husbands and live is underway compliments and good days are sometimes far few and in between. But pulling out a brand new dress, the perfect shoes to compliment, a handbag that looks like it was made for this outfit and putting the final touches on your makeup is the ultimate self confidence booster. Check out this perfect Ladies Night Out ensemble.

Cosmopolitans on Me!

The Shabby Atelier goes from shabby to chic!

We got a new look...thanks to Nichole Parker owner of Digi-Designs http://digi-designs.blogspot.com

Ok, so Friday I was thinking of sprucing up my blog a little bit. Being a fashionista on a budget I needed something quick and affordable. I quickly realized my frustration was growing as I began this quest... looking through the countless blog designing companies with prices ranging from $45-$500.00 (uhhhh yeah right). So I continued to look, and on the brink of a break down. I came across Nicole Parkers blogsite. I sent her an email, she quickly responded and the rest was history. I love my new design and look by the way. So romantic yet sassy which in two words defines muah. We also both figured out our b-days are on the same day it was destiny lol!

Kelly Rowland is Fierce!!!!

Kelly Rowlands is the newest starlet to hit Bravo TV long list of A-listers. And next to Issac Mizrahi she is looking fierce!

I love her effortless style and here's my red carpet interpretation for under 60 bucks.

Featured "Haute Mama" Halle Berry

Last night while pursing the cosmetic isle at CVS Pharmacy I stumbled upon yet another picture of Halle Berry...being the poster girl of Revlon her face is always plastered everywhere. Anyway I noticed she had a perfume. Normally "celebrity" anything makes me cringe...i.e. Paris,Brittany, Mariah, JLo,just to name a few but the pretty, sensual tropical picture shown above added with the sweet musky smell of her perfume made me feel like I could close my eyes and instantly I was swinging on a hammock in Hawaii. And to my surprise all the fantasy or serenity and sensuality was nestled in this little bottle of perfume for only $34.

If your looking for a perfect and budget friendly Mother's Day gift this is one I definitely recommend. From one "Haute Mama" to another.

Keep if Chic

May 09 Mother's Day Soiree

Mother's Day is a time to reflect on how fabulous your Mom truly is, although this affection should be shown throughout the year...mom's really do need their own special day to be elevated and appreciated. So my friend Cheryl Sisson planned a fun day to host a Mother's Day Event for The Shabby Atelier to set up and invited her mom, mom in law and friends tho shop great deals and fabulous dresses. I also baked this giant cupcake to show my appreciation the day was "heavenly!"

My favorite not so NY Housewife Bethanny Frankel

NY Housewives Bethanny Frankel by sweets1203 featuring Forever21 rings

Bethanny has become my all time favorite hosuewife of NYC. She's very out spoken with a matter of fact kind of attitude and I like that. Her casual style has me wanting to see more of her around the Big Apple and mybe even TinselTown. I've created this fashion set through Polyvore.com duplicating her casual couture look for a lot less.
