Keep the Post-4th Fireworks Going with White-Hot Jeans

When it comes to style, nothing says summer like a pair of curve-hugging white jeans. Now’s the time to ditch the dark denims for a lighter, brighter look. Remember, rocking white jeans isn’t for the faint of heart since they tend to accentuate our “assets,” whether that’s the aim or not. Whether you favor flares, skinnies, boot cuts, or wide-legged, finding a pair that suits your style will be easy.

Just be sure to take an honest friend with you to get necessary feedback on whether your finds are figure-flattering or a denim defeat.

Heading to the Essence Music Festival?

If you’re one of the thousands making their way to the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans this weekend, be sure to check out Carol’s Daughter Pop-Up Store! From today through the 3rd, the natural beauty company will open its doors for a weekend-only boutique in New Orleans.

Throughout the weekend, you’ll be able to get a sneak sniff of Mary J. Blige’s newest fragrance, My Life Blossom, as well as see a few our favorite celebrities including the faces of Carol’s Daughter (Solange Knowles, Cassie, and Selita Ebanks), as well as Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Trey Songz, The Braxtons and more!

How will you be celebrating the holiday? The hubby and I will be attending the Macy’s 4th Of July Fireworks media event compliments of my friends over at Macy’s. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to see Beyonce perform. Should be an interesting evening! Will report back on Tuesday if it’s good.
