Shoe Pick Of The Week: Iron Fist - Sweets 4 My Sweet Pump

Okay, okay, so you can't binge on cupcakes and candy because you are watching your waistline for the summer, I get it.  That doesn't mean that you can't wear sweet shoes and strut yummily to and fro.

The Iron Fist Sweets 4 My Sweet Pump, $50 - dsw.com, features decadent images of cupcakes, candies and lollipops in a colorful shoe montage, fit for a fun loving princess that's always on the go.

Pair this shoe with a sunny, off the shoulder dress by ASOS that reveals just enough skin, and you've got a pair that's classically timeless.

Bronner Hair Show Experience - Atlanta, GA

This past weekend I traveled to Atlanta, GA or should I say Hotlanta for the semi-annual Bronner Brothers Hair Show.  This show is monumental and a yearly must-do for all professionals in the hair and beauty industries.  The whos whos of hair are always in the building and the excitement is through the roof. 

The event took place at the Georgia World Congress Center, a monstrous building full of exhibit rooms, stages, classrooms and never ending hallways.  We shared the center this year with the National Cheer Sport Competition and both sides of the Congress Center were in full uniform and ready to perform for the crowds.

The Bronner Brothers Show is a conglomerate of trade show booths, new product lines, runway models gracing the floor, fantastic hair cutting and classes for those seeking to enhance their craft.  I was there on business with my PR firm Aqua PRomos (www.aquaPRomos.com) and found the Bronner Brothers show to be one of the most fun tradeshows I have attended to date.

View a few pictures from the show below and I will see you next year!
