3 Takeaways: Arden's Closet Sip and Swap

This past Sunday I attended another edition of Arden's Closet Sip and Swap. Nikki Lee and Nedra Phillips are the founders of this event and they have out done themselves. Each swap is more then the last and this one definitely took the CAKE!! It was held inside of LiviRae's Lingerie store, setting of Lifetime's Double Divas Reality Show, in Kennesaw.

1. Cake cake cake cake cake cake!!!!!

The desserts featured this time around were absolutely scrumptious. Homemade chocolate and vanilla twinkies are enough to get me out the house. The spread is always tasty, but these twinkies took the CAKE!!

2. Good Vibes

The ladies in attendance were all very personable and fun. It's wonderful when a group of women can get together and have a good time talking and laughing. The overall tone of the event showed that everyone was there to have a good time. Walking in I felt a little run down from my crazy week, but by the time I left I was full of energy and ready to keep going.

3. And the winner is....

There were so many give aways and free gifts I thought I was having a second BIRTHDAY!!! I left with way more then my swap items (remember no bathing suits allowed on the swap). I received a goody bag from filled with items, from various sponsors (photos below), including a $10 coupon for LivieRae. I also won a drawing prize which gave me a bag of beauty products, sponsored by fashion blogger Marie Denee(The Curvy Fashionista). I used my $10 coupon to purchase a gorgeous pink robe from LiviRae (photos below).

This was definitely my favorite swap since the beginning of swaps and I can't wait to start using all my new stuff. If you haven't been before now is a great time to start because it only gets better!!

Swim Thick with Francie Maupin

Francie Maupin has been sketching fashions since her preteen years so it was only a matter of time before she put together a line of her own. She introduces The Diva Kurves Collection by premiering, Swim Thick, a line of swimsuits geared toward curvy women. In a market where the bar for plus sized swimwear has been dramatically raised by Monif C, Nakki Muli, and Cacique, Swim Thick is pushing its way into the mix to make sure all the curvy ladies are covered, literally. Swim Thick will cover standard sizes but will also offer options for ladies with bottom heavy proportions so that they will be able to find swimsuits that fit their curves just right. The extra focus on the ladies with extra curves definitely sets Swim Thick apart from other plus size swimwear. We dig in deeper about Miss Maupin and the release of Swim Thick: How did you start? What triggered you to start a swim line? It seemed like every time I would enter a store or boutique and ask, "where are the plus...

#LiveFashion with Stylist Jackie Turner

Fashion is built on foundation. In order to look good from the outside you have to start solid. Words of gold from Jackie Turner, an aspiring stylist out of Atlanta, fashion is her life... Turner is on a mission to become a personal stylist. Her goal is to help women who struggle with self esteem by showing them how to accent their true selves through fashion. Turner believes that when women are able to see themselves in a mirror how they see themselves in their heads, the positive visions, they can begin to accept and express who they are freely. Turner has had to over come obstacles in her own life and so her theories are from experience. Bullying and mean girls had been part of her every day struggle until she realized that she had a voice. Once she started to realize that she was in control of who she was and that she did not have to be what they told her she began to form her own personal style. Soon other people n...
