Tracy Ewell- THE BEST!

So I went to my make-up consultation last week and it was (of course) AMAZING! Natalie and Tracy did such a great job. Not only did my make-up look flawless, but the three of us had a great time. I never feel like they are trying to sell me a bunch of stuff, but the products they do use they really and truly believe in.

I ended up getting eyeliner. Every eyeliner I have tried- power, pencil, liquid always runs, no matter what I do or what the product claims. I am not sure if it because I wear glasses, or the way my skin is, but no matter what I try, it always ends up halfway down my checks and makes me look like I have a black eye. Not attractive.

The girls recommended Face Stockholm's Gel Eyeliner in black and I couldn't be happier with the results. It does NOT move. I wore it to dance class and it still did not run. It is such a great product. I would not plug something if it didn't work. I have a very high standard for eyeliners, so I can promise you that this one is really the best out there.

In addition to the magic eyeliner, I got an eyeliner brush and a bunch of fun gifts with purchase. I especially love the Caudalie scrub sample I got. I am going to go back and get that next time I am there.

Now, go visit Tracy Ewell and tell them Disposable Income sent you!

Kelly's Closet- Boutique Party and Bridal Sample Sale

Kelly's Closet is one of my favorite boutiques in the city. Everything in the store is really unique. Kelly travels all over the world to find her clothes and carries many up-and-coming designers. One of my favorite finds is this great pale pink dress from Australia I purchased last Boutique Warehouse Sale. I have been hooked on this store ever since.


This Friday, she is having a big store event that includes food, drinks and great discounts.

This Friday, October 24th, we are hosting our big bash. From 5pm till 8pm, we will be partying down, with plenty to eat and drink. Just for walking through the door, you get $25 closet bucks! (The free money expires on Friday, so make sure you use those puppies.) As most of you know, you can probably do some digging in my baskets and get something for free. Free drinks, free food, and a free goody from the treasure chest. Talk about a win, win, win. All we ask is that you give our birthday boy Aslan a birthday hug. Pretty darn easy, yes?

For those of you wanting to do a little more shopping, we are happy to print more bucks for you! You get $50 closet bucks when you spend $250 and $75 closet bucks when you spend $500 or more. Happy shopping! I would assume you know that you should probably give Aslan a few extra hugs when getting the extra bucks! All of the incentives (and free money) expire that evening, so you have to use your credit before you leave us. But, the hugs go on and on!

Kelly's Closet is also having a huge bridal samples sale. In case you haven't been to the store, half is a boutique and the other half of the store is a bridal salon. They just spend the weekend in New York at a bridal market and now have tons of samples in stock. I would make your appointment ASAP as these dresses will go fast.

Eat'n with the Bloggers

Cathy over at Live to Nibble had a great idea a few weeks ago to get all the food bloggers together to eat, drink, and be merry!

We chose to eat at Cuerno and we ate well. I can't even remember everything we ordered (perhaps it was the glasses of sangria I had?) but I will brag that we ordered the Paella de Conejo y Caracoles (that is, the rabbit and snail paella).

yeah, there are snails in that paella

Usually what helps with a foggy memory is my camera. But seeing as how I had never met these other delightful food bloggers, I didn't want to creep them out with my incessant picture taking. So the only other decent picture that I got was of the Tabla de Embutidos, a selection of spanish charcuterie and cheeses served with tomato-garlic bread. Yum!

tomato-garlic bread = genius!

We plan to have more food blogger dinners in our future. Hopefully, they'll remember my charming anecdotes from this evening and forgive my photographic indiscretions.

Vintage Jeans at Blue Jeans- Get $$ for your old Denim

Blue Genes is now buying back your used premium denim (think 7s, True Religion, Paige, Joe's) and will give you $30 in Blue Genes Bucks toward the purchase of a new pair of premium denim. Granted, their new jeans usually cost about $200 on average, but this should help a little.

The denim you sell, along with other used jeans, will be sold in the store in the new "Vintage Section" where prices starts at just $29 (price range is $29 - $100). I know that the definition of "vintage" is really being used loosely here, but I don't care what they want to call it if that means I can get a pair of jeans for $30.

I am checking them out today and hopefully selling back 4 pairs of jeans. I will update this post with details on my visit next week.

Christian Louboutin COMING TO ATLANTA!

I really cannot contain myself or express to you how excited I am. I may pass out before I finish this post.

While at Phipps last night I saw that Christian Louboutin is coming to Jeffrey Atlanta on October 24 from 1-4pm. I just about pounced on a nice sales associate and demanded details. She wasn't sure of too many specifics but he will be signing shoes (only unworn ones) and may be taking pics (that isn't confirmed). You bet I will be there!

New Boutique- Paper Source Is Open!

Atlanta finally has a Paper Source! To say that it is a paper and card store is really not doing it justice. They sell everything from fine paper from all over the world, gorgeous books, cards, wrapping paper and much more. Handwriting notes is just such a lost art- Paper Source is the kind of place that makes you want to put down the mouse and pick up a pen.

The store just opened in Virginia Highlands right by Mitzi and Romano and Bella Cucina in a huge space- over 3,000 sq. feet. When you go in, make sure you say hi to our friend Carla K.

Next week they are having a huge launch event. Click on the below invitation to visit the website for more information-
