Have you shopped Style.ly yet?

2012-07-13T07:49:00.000-07:00

Style.ly is a site where you can sell and buy women fashions. There is a point system in which you can earn points to be used towards purchases. I don't really understand the points given system and it seems to be just another way the Yardseller group makes money off its sellers. Any WHO~ I've gained a huge following, so I guess I'll stay, for now. I have a successful styling and concierge business here in Atlanta, and I often have items listed in my boutique that I've bought from tradeshows and exclusives from design houses. If you are seeking some really nice diva equipment, stop by and visit my boutique, spread the word and luxuriate in all that is Dinahmite.

New Gucci Handbag

2012-07-11T12:45:00.000-07:00

I recently visited the Gucci store in St. Augustine Fla. while on vacation. I immediately fell in love with a bag I saw on display. It was called the Stirrup. It comes in 9 variations. It is made of cuir colored leather, has light gold hardware and natural cotton linen lining. As with all Gucci, which was established in Florence in 1921, its iconic Made In Italy style has become synonymous with elegance, sophistication and desirability. The bag touts double handles with a 5" drop and small spur hardware strap closure with snaps and large spur details. I love the side hook closures, as it gives the bag a more 'butteri' style. To keep protected from surfaced un becoming a GUCCI, it has metal feet, that look ornamental in itself. There are interior smart phone and zip pockets for safe keepings. This is a medium size bag at dimensions of 15.4"W x 9.4"H x 6.4"D. I hope you can find her at a Gucci store near you, if not, she is in stock online at http://www.gucci.com/us/styles/277514AKZ5A2816#277514ANK0G2519

Dinahmite Glam For Sale

2012-04-29T10:53:00.001-07:00

My Ebay experience totally BLOWED, so I have switched to a less competitive and more stylish forum. Style.ly

http://style.ly/boutique/Dinah-Raekwon-Hall-105222

After only 1 day, I knew it was a joke...I'm a real hustler, so REAL recognized REAL! Shoes and Handbags are over-saturated on eBay -- there's way too much competition for these items on eBay already. And in most cases, the only sellers who are able to be successful selling these items are larger, high-volume, usually well-established eBay sellers with lots of money to invest in buying products by the truckload, placing orders of $100,000+ at a time, so they can then underprice everyone else and sell their products for a fraction of what other sellers can. I'd rather deal with a site that monitors against PHUCKERY. So, come to my boutique at Style.ly...It will remain as a BOUTIQUE and not a mass listing type situation. Bookmark my link: http://style.ly/boutique/Dinah-Raekwon-Hall-105222 I will be uploading often, with a mix of NEW, vintage, makeup, shoes, bags, and eleganza!
Enjoy!

Thanks for you time and support! God Bless!

ARM YOURSELF~With Nicole Lee Handbags!

2012-04-23T11:04:00.002-07:00

No matter what brand you pick from the latest fashion magazine, I think all handbag lovers will agree: THATS TOO DAMN HIGH! Even if you CAN AFFORD to buy them in exchange for quality, it's still a slap in the face every time. Get ready for it to sting a little bit more in the near future – it’s costing brands more to source leather from Italian tanneries than ever, according to Women’s Wear Daily.

The rise in prices is impacting contemporary brands with sensitive price structures more than anyone, and if you took any economics courses in college, you know that there are only a few ways to deal with this kind of problem. Brands can cut amount or quality of leather used, increase prices or source materials from alternate locations (in this case, mostly South America.).

So, what are our options? TRY NICOLE LEE HANDBAGS!! As I was fine tuning my closet this winter I notice a majority of the bags I kept were all one brand . I'd consigned a Kate Spade, Dooney, MK, and one Coach, in July and August, but KEPT all the Nicole Lee. A buyer friend let me tag along with him to a sample/Buyers sale and decided to sell them after 30 minutes. I love Nicole Lee USA Handbags because she makes a multitude of styles per season, they are high in quality, and extremely affordable. Nicole Lee hit the scene in 2004 with fashion forward handbags and accessories. They take their inspirations from the finest avant-gardes and then take it to another level. So it's no surprise that Nicole Lee creations have been featured in countless magazines and are seen adorning the rich and famous. Created with Top quality fabric and detailed craftsmanship, Nicole Lee handbags are not shy on the shelves. With aggressive and fashion forward designs, Nicole Lee HAS taken the world of handbags to a whole new level. http://nicoleleeonline.com/handbag-1/handbag-new-arrivals.html?p=1

Occasionally I'll have a online blog sale in which my non Facebook, Twitter,and Pintrest peps can purchase bags from me. I use PayPal, which I feel safest, knowing I don't have to deal with anyones personal info.

Please contact me via Direct Message on Twitter or Facebook to purchase. I'll respond accordingly.

REVAMP your Makeup Drawer

2012-03-14T08:29:00.000-07:00

Most of my actual MUA kit is heavy rotation items, so often times I have nothing to throw on seasonally. My personal makeup stash however is a different story. I HOARD makeup, so many time I end up buying duplicates and variations of the same type of product, UNNECESSARILY!! Many times I transfer them into my MUA kit but often enough they get tossed. My New Years Resolution was to reduce waste...THIS IS MY START!

CLEAR.
CLEANSE and
CONSOLIDATE YOUR MAKEUP DRAWER!

Sort out your drawers and makeup bags. How long has that eye shadow been cracked? How long have you been using that sponge, that brush or that mascara? If you don't know, TOSS IT!! Does the lipgloss smell funny? Is that not it's ORIGINAL COLOR? It's time to say "BYE BOO", this means the preservatives have broken down. REMEMBER~ If you store your products away from heat sources and windows they will last longer.

A color change may not always signal product breakdown, but it does mean it's past its prime. Creams with retinols can become MORE potent and actually burn your skin. Acne products and weaken thus causing irritation or the reverse effects because of slow oxidation, that happens the moment you open a product.

How long do the skin care ingredients in my lotions, body scrubs and other skin and body care products last? When should I throw them away?

For most skin and body care products, there is an easy way to find out how long the skin care ingredients are good for. Simply look on the back of the container. Many times you'll see what looks like a skin care product tub that is opened with a number on it. The number is usually 6, 12, 24 or 36. What this means is that you can safely use this opened product for the number of months it says. But let's remember that dipping your fingers into product does bring bacteria into the mix. Always us a spatula, or my favorite, a baby spoon that you can get at the drugstore.

Use your best judgment and if you think it's time to toss it, it probably is. Pay more attention to the dates on your facial products, as they usually have special ingredients to help protect your skin. If your product doesn't have an image on the back, assume it is probably no more than 12 months unless stated. If your product contains organic ingredients or you purchased it from a small company that produces their products after your order is placed, make sure you ask what the shelf life is. In some cases, the shelf life is very small due to the lack in preservatives.

Unopened products that are still sealed usually have a shelf life of 3-5 years or more, so don't be concerned about the products on the shelf. As long as they stay sealed, they will last many years. The time only starts counting down when you open it.

I'm now on Ebay

2012-03-04T08:55:00.001-08:00

Today I decided to go forth and sell on ebay. I am a stylist and am privy to many trunk shows, sample sales, and wholesale events. Since selling out of my home and have found it to be more stress than i'm willing to go through. I already have a makeup studio, wardrobe styling and shoe concierge business going on simultaneously in my basement apartment. The extra foot traffic with the handbags is UNWANTED. So, if you'd like to purse Nicole Lee fashion handbags, go to my ebay site. I stock many styles, but only list on ebay the ones I actually have 5 or more of. I am dinahmiteluxe . http://myworld.ebay.com/dinahmiteluxe/?_trksid=p4340.l2559

Here are a few samples of some of the bags.

ENJOY and Thanks for your business!

Arden B. has a new BOLD collection!!

2012-01-25T03:33:00.000-08:00

Luichiny Kind Lee

There are so many potential outfits with this New BOLD collection from Arden B. The pieces are classic, bold and bright. I see them being relevant in my close a long time. I like how the pops of red and cobalt blue instantly change each look. The blue is a PERFECT match for my Luichiny Kind Lee's, which I have in red, taupe, cobalt and a army green.

This dress reminds me of the BodyCon type I see so often now. It fits like a glove. It is however a bandage sweater dress featuring a jacquard type diamond pattern and piped details. There is a V-neckline and tank straps which allow you to wear a racerback bra, my personal FAVORITE!
Here is another image of the dress: http://ardenb.com/assets/ab/images/landing/SP2012/06.jpg

All in all, a very good collection if you are into City Mod Glam and 80's Asymmetrical FierceNess!

Tis' the season...to be ASHY ;( Natural Winter Skincare Tip

2011-12-15T11:18:00.000-08:00

Do you STAY ASHY during the winter? Don't be ashamed hunny...I do. My mama use to 'grease' me until I shinned like a copper penny, and it didn't even GET THAT COLD in New Orleans. OK, enough about me...what about YOU? Surprisingly enough, Sunflower Oil is a pleasant smelling, light textured oil known for its abundance of vitamins A, B, D, and E, high linoleic acid content, and few saturated fatty acids. It gives the skin a satiny-smooth, non-greasy feel ALL DAY LONG! Its a primary oil in Bio Oils' formulation and a INEXPENSIVE one at that. It has also been credited with providing a protective barrier on the skin of premature infants, which makes them less susceptible to infections. Other benefits include, treatment of arteriosclerosis, bruises and skin diseases.

A little on the skin goes a long way. I suggest buying small vials or plastic travel containers and filling them. Whole Foods carries an assortment of cosmetic grade and multi use grades and varieties of almost ANY essential oil. Happy Glowing!
