Atlanta



1. Wearing AVON color rich lipstick in "Burnished Gold"
2. My thinking/reading nook in the hotel. I looove nooks like this!
3. Our Hotel (review coming soon)
4. FLIP burger boutique in Atlanta (yummiest burgers EVER)
5. Crazy streets of ATL
6. My delayed flight. We waited around for hours.
7. Turkey burger w/ sweet potato tater tots
8. Before flight drink (Riesling)
9.I showed up 20 minutes before the store closed and still found tons of stuff.
10. Award from the SBOC Conference


So, you know that NuSophisticate was nominated for the “Best Rookie Blog" award at the first ever Style Bloggers of Color Conference (SBOCC). The hubs and I looove Atlanta, so when we heard that the conference was being held there, we knew that we had to attend. There’s something about Atlanta that leaves us feeling energized and inspired after each visit. 

Although we always have a ball when we’re in Atlanta, there’s something about this visit that left us feeling ultra-renewed. For me, it was the time spent surrounded by all the fabulous, intelligent, and inspiring women that attended the conference. For him, I’m sure it had something to do with the Miami Heat making it to the NBA finals. Either way, we both left Atlanta on cloud nine. So, here are a few Instagram photos from the trip this weekend.

Oh, and by the way, WE WOOOONNNN! Nusophisticate is officially SBOCC’s “Best Rookie Blog” of 2012! Thank you, thank you, thank you for visiting and supporting me!


xoxo
Jillian

    2. LOL. Yeah I had to stay away if I want to fit into this wedding dress. I have a question. I am moving to South Carolina and since I am a city girl I am going to have adjust to the country world but I'm going to keep my fashionista self. I think Greenville is missing some fashion spice and I was thinking of starting a blog over there and getting some of the boutiques to have a fashion show but I want to cater to the young African American girls. How does one promote a blog or get stores to join in on the movement?

    3. Well, I am a BIG proponent of showcasing your style on the site www.fashionbombdaily.com. The comments can be a bit tough, but it's a great way to showcase your style and meet people who are into a similar aesthetic. It's also a great idea to get to know some of the bloggers in the South Carolina area. Working together is always an easier and less stressful route to take. Email me if you need anything else. I can't wait to visit your blog and congrats on the wedding!

    4. Thanks for the tips. I probably won't start until late fall or winter because there is too much going to right now. Is there a site to search for blogs in certain cities. I was thinking about going to the different boutiques in downtown Greenville and chatting with them.
