Behind the Scenes: Alter Ego Photoshoot

This past Sunday we had a photoshoot with UH-mazing models Karon and Antywan! S/o out to our hardworking intern Brielle, and photographer Sik, for giving 110% which made this shoot such as success! We had a blast, especially given the long hours, but working with a great team makes things easy breezy cool! Enjoy!

 Trunk full of greatness :)

The finished pictures will be on our site soon!

What We've Been Up To Lately....

Warning : This post is ridiculously long. LOL.

To say we've been MIA would be the understatement of the year...but this post is our apology to our wonderful readers and a glimpse of what we've been up to over the last couple of months. Genevia and I are both in transition periods, which is the main reason we've been neglecting the bloggie. It has officially been 2 years since we graduated from our beloved Temple U and its now time to make some major moves as we continue to grow Vice As If and our new baby Mazaye. Who knows...I might just be moving across the pond...no seriously lol. Anywho stay tuned...and for the millionth time...sorry for the long hiatus. Here we go again...enjoy the long post!

A few weeks back I attended the Wall Ball event hosted by The Roots here in Philly. Wonderful event in a beautiful location (Vie). I mean...who wouldn't love an open bar and great food ;)

East Coast Optical hosted a trunk show featuring new sunnies from Chanel and Tiffany&Co. We got the opportunity to try on the lenses and snap polaroid pics...loves it!

Genevia prepping for our shoot with Beads by Aree which we styled here in Philly! Funny enough...our friend Leo from Jack Spade DC was the photographer! Small world indeed! We had alot of fun and the models were a joy to work with...pics coming soon!

Later that day we headed downtown to Aoki boutique for Royalty First Fridays that my friend was hosting. We met some cool people, sipped on champagne and munched on some cupcakes!

Mazaye sponsored Zara Korutz's Creative Soiree with gift bags filled with goodies at MOCA DC not too long ago. The gallery filled with DC's industry elite makeup artists, hair stylists and photographers. We were honored to take part of such an event, especially since all proceeds benefited the I Am Beautiful Project.

Us with Zara!

Recently styled Blonde Gang for their opening performance at the TLA for Tech N9ne and MachineGunKelly! With them...I can push boundaries and mix all types of print lol.

 Sophia and Yuie! We dressed "the part" for the concert!

Cool pic I took of them performing. The crowd was insane!

Part 2 of What We've Been Up To Lately coming soon!

Xoxo,

Hostess with the Mostess

Last Friday I hosted my first dinner party ever and it was a fabulous time!!! Shopping, decorating, cooking AND serving 8 of my girlfriends was no easy task but the end result was definitely worth it!

 Loved how my table turned out!

 The key to a lovely table...FRESH FLOWERS & CANDLES!!! Trust me, it changes the whole mood. I had flowers and scented candles all over my apartment with Asa (soulful Nigerian artist) playing in background to make it nice and cozy for my guests.

 1st course was a Tomato Feta Salad with homemade croutons.

 2nd was roasted chicken with homemade mashed potatoes.

 Dessert was a fruit parfait. I made this ages ago, but I couldn't find the recipe so I kind of made this up...lol...everyone enjoyed it nonetheless!

 Pitchers of Sangria were made earlier so we drank good throughout the night :)

 The girlies minus Cece and Shamirra!

Sent the girls home with these little takeaway boxes with mini cupcakes inside :)

New addition to my apartment...
"Luv Can Be So Blind & Strangely Blissful Don't Sweat The Small Stuff"

Good times all around! I'm telling ya'll...a good girls night is oh so necessary every once in a while!
