Style. Shoot. Edit.

I have decided to get started with my true passion, styling. I have a page that you can click on to see any and all styling I have done at the top of this page, but why not do individual posts?!

I acted as hair, make up, styling, and photographer in this shoot.

Well feast your eyes on Ms. Morgan!!!

Where in the World has Franky Been?

Well I have been working and trying to add some play in my life. My first stop was Ms. Style and Grace 2nd Anniversary party at L2 Lounge in Georgetown. It is a super cute spot and quite exclusive. You have to be invited or on a list to even enter this venue. Enjoy a few pictures I took at the event.

The other event I made my way to was the launch of 8 Vintage online vintage boutique at Barcode, amazing happy hour on a Saturday. Krystin and Denisio have some pretty good pieces. I can't wait to see the other pieces they have in store. They both dress their little butts off so super excited to see what they add to the selling collections. I met quite a few new faces at the event so I had a good time! I have a few pictures from the event.

This cupcake was yummy.

Some bloggers that attended. Loved chatting with you ladies.

Girls Girls Girls

I got an email a few days before the screening and debated about going to the screening. I ended up forcing myself, I'm always tired smh, after work to go and check it out. The viewing was at this spot called The Dunes, this spot was super cute and not to far from where I live. They had drinks, popcorn, and tons curious women interested in seeing what this Girls on HBO was all about.

This show focused on Girls in their 20's living in NY and the different things they go through at that age with jobs, money, men, and everything in between. I think this show will be pretty good and I am looking forward to April 15th which is when it will premiere on TV.

Here are some pictures from the event:::
