What’s Haute: Love It or Lose It iPhone App
Sometimes a mirror just isn’t enough. Whether you are at home or out shopping, we could all use a second opinion. Love It or Lose It is the latest fashion iPhone app that gives you that second opinion and more. All you have to do is snap some photos of the item (or outfit) in question and send it out to your network of friends and fellow fashionistas on the Love It or Lose It platform. Then, within seconds, people will weigh in and give you their thoughts.
Must Have: Jimmy Choo Launches Fragrance
Capture the essence of one of our fave luxury brands, Jimmy Choo. Just this month, the company launched a fragrance simply called Jimmy Choo. Created and inspired by Tamara Mellon, founder and Chief Creative Officer of the brand, the scent is exotic, sensual and still very approachable. Mellon, who is also the face of the ad campaign for the fragrance, says “the fragrance evokes a sense of feminine confidence, seduction and sensuality.”
Haute Benefit: 4th Annual Doggie’s on the Catwalk
Get ready for another amazing night of fashion, fur and famous. The 4th Annual Doggies on a Catwalk is a unique benefit fashion show highlighting the talents of student designers enrolled in Grady High School’s acclaimed fashion program, UrbanCouture. Created by Fashionado founder E. Vincent Martinez, “Doggies on the Catwalk” benefits Pets Are Loving Support (PALS), an Atlanta area organization that provides pet-care, including free food and basic veterinary, care, and support to the companion pets of critically ill and disabled Atlantans.
Haute Event: Ne-Yo and Monyetta Shaw Host Grand Opening Party in Atlanta
Over 200 of Atlanta’s VIPs gathered in the new fashion boutique of Emerlyn & Ester for the grand opening soiree on Tuesday night. Emerlyn & Ester is the latest fashion venture by R&B superstar Ne-Yo and his significant other (and new mother of their beautiful baby girl) Monyetta Shaw. The night was spectacular from the red carpet to the Remy Martin cocktails and ultimately the toast to the couple with Armand de Brignac’s Ace of Spades Champagne.
Haute Opening: Polished & Primped Comes to Atlanta
Fashion lovers get ready because a new concept boutique is about to open in Atlanta’s Midtown. Located in the Plaza Midtown Building, Polished and Primped will offer an eclectic New York-meets LA array of clothing, accessories and even some underpinnings. But it doesn’t end there—the front of the space will have a man and Pedi space for a little pampering.
Haute Auto: Cadillac Rolls Out Luxury on Wheels
The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe has hit a new high on the luxury scale. With its dramatic and sleek design and its turbo charged engine, the result is a luxury sedan with a major kick.
Haute Giving: Warrick Dunn Foundation Gives Home To Family
We all love this time of year because of the glitz and glamour and giving. But all the Hermes scarves and Cartier bracelets cannot beat the feeling of giving back to those less fortunate. Former NFL star and founder of the Warrick Dunn Foundation (and my personal hero) does this better than anyone. Each year, he gathers support and supplies and finds a family in need of a new home. This year, a lucky family in Forrest Park, Ga., was surprised with a home built by Habitat for Humanity and fully furnished as part of the Warrick Dunn Holiday House Giveaway.
Haute Event: Mickey Lynn Designs Hosts A Festive Affair
Atlanta-based and nationally known jewelry designer Mickey Lynn held quite the festive party last night at her brand new renovated Bennett Street studio in Atlanta. Just in time for the holiday season, guests mingled and ogled at her newest line of jewelry. Cocktails and delicious appetizers were served throughout the evening and I am pretty sure no one went home empty handed.
Haute Opening: The Daiquiri Factory Opens in Midtown
Then a few months ago, I spotted a sign that said The Daiquiri Factory. Recently, I decided to stop in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised as well as a little (actually a lot ) tipsy. The concept, as you can tell by the name, is Daiquiris, and the whole theme of the Midtown restaurant is Island Oasis. Wood floors, bamboo-esque bars and fans made out of wooden leaves are the main decorating elements of the spot. But it is the daiquiris, ranging from strong, very strong to lethal that take the prize.
