Fashion Against Violence - Breaking the Barriers - March in Flint MI May 31, 2012 4:00pm

So...I had the opportunity to interview a very powerful women of fashion in Flint, MI, Kala Wilburn. She is the owner of a line of custom handmade handbags and apparel, Fannie Lucille - I'm a huge fan!

Last year, October 31, 2011, Kala lost her brother to an act of violence. This inspired her to form a movement, Fashion Against Violence. This week, Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 4:00 pm, Fashion Against Violence, WOW Outreach and Community Action will partner with other businesses and organizations in the Flint Community and march together in memory of lost loved ones in an event called Breaking the Barriers.The march will being at Flint City Hall and end at Atwood Stadium where the Urban Peace Rally  will be held immediately following the march at 6:00pm. Isn't this just so amazing?! Kala, I love what you are doing for your cause, for the city, for everyone! Keep up the excellent work.

Pool party: To swim or not to swim

Summertime means fun, sun and my favorite, POOL PARTIES!!! Despite how much I enjoy them, I always go back and forth, am I getting in the pool....or....NOT LOL! I mostly just go because I fell in love with the swimsuit and I wanted to wear my awesome cover-up that went so perfectly, and I just had to hear the jingling sound from my accessories....you know what I mean...right? So, like Drake said, I am dropping 10lbs preparing for summer, getting ready for beach season and pool parties with friends and family. Of course this includes a conquest for a few cute suits...here's what I found let me know what you think!

Enjoy!
