I don't remember what these were, but they looked good!
Some pizza Lo picked up
While making our way around the Taste, I met some of the sweetest ladies who recognized me from the blog.
Thank all of you for the kind words, and for stopping to say hi! It's always fun to meet people in person!
After eating I thought it would be cool to snap pics of other fierce naturals at the Taste! I am going to start carrying my camera around more often to snap naturals about town. Thank you to everyone who participated!
I loved her Bohemian look, and I loved this guys curly fro and beard!
I loved this chica's lilac dress, and her hair & skin was amazing! - This woman's fro was lush, I had to snap a pic!
After taking pics, Lo and I made our way back to Kean's house to get dressed for dinner
We made our way to Japonais
I had an Asian Pear Martini to start; it was absolutely delicious!
It was so good I had another!
My dinner came, and it was amazzzzzing! Filet Mignon w/Uni Butter - White Miso Truffled Potato Puree & Grilled Asparagus
Everyone was all smiles after dinner & drinks!
Noelle invited us to Crimson Lounge after dinner, and of course we obliged!
Another night of dancing, good eats, and plenty of laughter!

You have the most amazing smile! You're so gorgeous. Loved the outfits!
ReplyDeleteAwesomeness! What kind of camera do you use if you dont mind me asking I need to totally upgrade, what would you suggest for a beginner blogger? Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteThat sequined jacket is amazing! Luv the lipstick color against it. All the naturals hair looks gorg! And the unidentified food looks like sweet potato chips.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your sequined jacket...your entire trip (food, drinks, fierce Naturals, & fine fellas!) looks like it was simply divine :)
ReplyDeleteLovely pics!! How were you able to tame your hair in the humidity? I'm traveling to Tokyo at the end of the month and its supposed to be really humid there, and i'm trying to figure out what products to bring. I'm not use to humid climates as I live in L.A. My hair is about chin length and looks thick but its actually pretty fine. I usually wear it in twist outs. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteFound your blog by way of FLY. Love it!!!
