DFW Blogger Meetup: The Body Shop

I think of this event as a continuation of our DFW Blogger Meetup from two weeks ago, besides our visit to West Village, Elissa from Dress With Courage set up a visit for us at The Body Shop in Northpark Mall.

 They were kind enough to gift us with goody bags and coupons and allowed us to invade their space with squeals, lots of hugs and our cameras.

One of the highlights? Catered by Chick-Fil-A! I wanted to put some chicken minis in my purse for later but yall know I forgot I'm a lady so I didn't.

I spun the wheel and won a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich so I was a happy camper.

I had never been to The Body Shop before and was pleasantly surprised that they are such a socially conscious company and that their ingredients are all natural. They also have a campaign to Stop Sex Trafficking, I signed the petition and you can participate here.

Chastity from The Curvy Girl's Guide to Style talked about the bronzer that she has from The Body Shop on Twitter and because I'm out of bronzer, I was excited to try it out.

After some waiting and confusion I was put into the capable hands of Keeks (I don't know if this is how she spells it, I'm guessing) and she told me that she was all about the bronzer because she's from Jersey.

While I had visions of (unfortunately) looking like Snookie, Keeks was hooking me up and did a phenomenal job! I am happy to announce that I am now the proud owner of the Baked to Last bronzer and Baked to Last blush. The blush and bronzer add definition and a touch of color to my cheeks and I am so excited about my semi-new look.

Here is Reiko's comment to my post below regarding my nosy co-worker:

*sigh*

Dear Fashionnette-work readers:

Please excuse my dear friend Juanette. Sometimes she gets like this and there's no stopping her. I apologize if she caught you off guard. She does that to me daily. DAILY! Most times she is okay...but she probably ran out of candy. This is what happens when she runs out of candy.

I'm sorry. I will keep her under control as best I can although we live in different cities.

Thank you,

Reiko

JuaNETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop it!

Gotta love it....

I Won (AGAIN!)

I won a $100 gift card to Vintage Martini courtesy of Elissa from Dress with Courage! Can't wait to go there, Elissa and I will plan a visit and I'll show you what I score!

You know I love those bags, don't you?



I just received my booties that I won from Leslie over at Fashion du Jour and they are so cute! I may plan an outfit strictly to show you how I will rock them in the fall because it's a little warm to wear suede booties around now.

Thanks ladies!

This looks like my yearbook photo from Cooley High.

"Grooviest Chick from Class of '75"

I wasn't going to use this pic because my butt looks huge but this is indeed what it looks like. 

Baby got back...

A little pre-k kid has it out for me.
He told me last week "What's wrong with your hair? You're hair looks like you didn't fix it today." I was kinda speechless. I laughed and told him to go to class. I saw him in the hallway yesterday and he said "That's not your hair!" I wanted to tell him, "Kid, just because you see your mom take her hair off at night doesn't mean that everyone wears fake hair." But I didn't. BUT I wanted to.
He's bullying me, what do you want me to do?

 I was on the phone with Reiko when I saw this photo and began laughing so hard I couldn't talk. 

I'm only missing the big wicker chair in the background...

Like so...

 Check out some recent blog love I've gotten from around the web:

Minister of Style  (I meant to post this eons ago, I forgot!)

Yvonne 4 Eyes Don't forget her Etsy shop! (I want those Eye Love Louis No.1 hang tags)

Dress with Courage She named me as one of her favorite thrifting personal style blogs (and no money exchanged hands!)

I want to thank everyone for their support of my little space in this big world of bloggers as I maneuver and misadventure through life and outfits, it really does mean a lot.
