RSVP: “Fab Four” Celebration!

That’s right! January 1st will mark the start of 4 years of blogging for me. Can you believe it?! I can’t! I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun.

I’ve had some really amazing things happen to me because of the thing called “Blake Von D”. From features in Vibe Magazine and my recent cover articles on J’Adore Magazine to my 2.5 seconds of fame on Basketball Wives (lol). It’s all been quite a journey and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. But what would all of this be without you guys support?!

So to thank you, I’ve put together what I’m hoping *fingers crossed* will be a fabulous holiday event in New York City.

RSVP at rsvp@blakevond.com

I want ALL you to come out to Inglot Cosmetics in Chelsea Market and help me celebrate 4 wonderful years of blogging. There will be gift bags–sponsored by EDEN BodyWorksBjorn Borg and J’Adore Magazine, a giveaway from Orchids & Spice, drinks, and DJ Carver the Great will be on the 1s and 2s!

I really hope that you guys will come out to help me celebration and to show my appreciation to YOU! *kisses*

What I Wore Today

Who would have thought that a dress and jeans went together, right?! Well, I’m breaking quite a few “fashion rules” today and rocking just that!

I paired a black maxi dress I purchased from Cherry Bomb Atlanta over top of a pair of Forever 21 zipper-leg jeggings. The black suede Mary Jane pumps were a thrift store find for $13.
