eShakti!

Ok, I just want to start this post by saying I'm head over heals in love with this two piece bralette and skirt set that was gifted to me by eShakti.com. The company reached out to me about styling one of their pieces and sharing it with my readers, I was able to pick from lots of beautiful dresses, and of course I just had to pick this retro two piece set. I'm so loving the crop top and skirt trend that seems to be on the rise since the weather broke, and this little number fits perfectly in line with my summer wardrobe! eShakti has tons of vintage and retro inspired dresses, that are custom to tailor fit your body, to add to that their prices are amazing and definitely budget friendly. You can choose from various neck and hemline options, as well as the length you want your skirt or dress to be which I found to be a plus. When making my selection I was also asked to select my height so that my pieces would be a perfect fit. I was really impressed by the selection of unique beautifully designed pieces they had to offer, and the different options they offered you to customize your piece! Stay tuned to BarclayINC to see how I style this amazing set from eShakti and please check out their website especially if you're a lover of vintage inspired pieces such as myself!

Dress for Success: Rock Your Red Fashion Show

So, for the past few months I've been posting info on the Dress for Success Rock Your Red Fashion Show, I attended the event last week and was really amazed by the mission of this organization. As I had stated in previous post Dress for Success is an organization that provides professional attire to women looking to get back into the workforce. During the fashion show one of the recipients of such services actually spoke to the audience, and explained how Dress for Success assisted her by providing her with a beautiful suit and apparel to interview with when trying to make her way back into the working world! I was really touched by her sincere appreciation for the role that Dress for Success played in helping her get back into the work force! I also got a chance to meet the event organizers and other key players with the Dress for Success organization, they're some absolutely amazing women that encompass such a genuine and compassionate spirit for what they do. Here are a some pictures and special moments that I captured during the Rock Your Red Fashion Show!

Was greeted with the program and a bottle of OPI polish

This was during a segment in which the ladies were modeling some not so professional attire that had been donated to Dress for Success. (I thought this was a really fun segment)

Wet & Wild Cosmetics!!

I love being a blogger I really do, I've met so many great people since I've been on my blogging journey. I've also been gifted some amazing products since I've been blogging including gowns, beauty products, and my latest goodies from Wet & Wild! Of course like most of you I grew up wearing Wet & Wild make-up, I can remember being a teenager and stocking up on their great affordable polishes, lipsticks, and glosses along with other great products! I was super happy when I received my gifted goodies from them a few weeks ago, I got a little bit of everything and cant wait to do some product reviews to share with you guys. So stay tuned ladies because I will be doing a future blog post on what all them sent me, and show how I incorporate the products into my daily look!

Sneak peek of my gifted Wet & Wild goodies, thanks so much Wet & Wild!!
