Talk about your shoe heaven!!!

On Saturday, April 24, Jedal Italian Fashion flung open their glass doors for customers to purchase signed copies of my book. Located in Atlanta's swanky Phipps Plaza, guest were treated to sweet treats from Chocolate Pink Pastry Cafe, along with flowing wine.

I truly felt like Cinderella, thanks to the Glam Team of Mandrill and Sheldon! Sheldon dressed me in an amazing jersey knit LBD from Wilbourn Exclusives, which could be worn as a one-shoulder, halter or a grecian goddess look! The SATC Samantha Crystal Rose Flower Cocktail Ring was from Inside Crystal's Bag and the baddest fuchsia sandals to ever grace my feet - The Jedal by Marco Massetti from Jedal!


I want to extend a special thanks to Photographer Terance Johnson for his amazing bevy of images! More to come!

Cupid, Coffee and Cupcakes Book Signing at Boulder Coffee

It was only a matter of time before I merged my two loves into one event...

On Thursday, February 11, The Cupcake Dreamery and Boulder Coffee at Brooks Landing will host my Cupid, Coffee and Cupcakes Valentines Day book signing! From 3PM to 5PM, flavorful java and pink-hued cupcakes will be enjoyed by book customers as they purchase signed copies of How To Stylishly Fall From Grace.


One lucky book customer will win a SWEET V-Day package:

~ Two tickets to the upcoming, star-filled movie Valentine's Day, courtesy of Pittsford Cinemas

~ A Berry Yummy Fizzy Cupcake Pedi Bomb from Blissful Bath

~ A high heel cookie cutter from Sweet Shapes

~ Shoe Shine portable shoe polish.

Fellas should consider the book as a part of their V-Day gift package (you know, to go along with that pair of Louboutins she has been dreaming out loud about), as it will give heeling power to women affected by domestic violence. A percentage of every book sold benefits Say NO - UNiTE To End Violence Against Women.

Carrie would be proud...

Pearls and lace gloves are optional, but the footwear must be stylish!

Looking for a memorable Valentines Day gift? How To Stylishly Fall From Grace is the perfect gift for the shoe-lovin' fashionista, as a percentage from every book purchased gives heeling power to women affected by domestic violence.
