They call it DC’s destination for the “designer” cupcake! Their website enamored me. I’m tickled, not necessarily with just the final product of anything, but every aspect of it, customer service, packaging etc. When I saw the slideshow of photos on their cupcake site my mouth began to water. I had never heard of Georgetown Cupcake until I started using Twitter, which proves that the internet is good for something. Georgetown Cupcake opened in February, 2008 and is DC’s first and only Cupcakery. No wonder they say the line is down the block and nearly around the corner. The flavors that normally sell out are the red velvet and lemon blossom. I like their weekly menu schedule too so you’ll know what to expect before you get there. Here are some other flavors to drool over: chocolate ganache, coconut, lava fudge, carrot, chocolate banana, lemon berry, chocolate peanut butter swirl and of course vanilla and they’re so pretty, not to mention it can be a tax write-off if I write about it. DC is closer than Georgia. I’m on my way folks.

Sometimes I’m a little slow when it comes to figuring out release dates and keeping an eye out for hot new designer line launches etc., but my fashion sister *B* Fab aka VaFashionista was definitely on the ball. She created this flawless outfit to go with the fabu Christian Louboutin Dillian Python Pumps I featured last week. She called them:

“magnificent creations of wonder”

She isn’t lying! Don’t they just make you swoon? Get the accessories she paired with them here.

“The Brooklyn-born singer croons a heartbreaking ode to letting go of a relationship. It’s a gorgeous ballad that ushers in a long-overdue welcome return to one of R&B’s most talented and original artists.”

BLACKsummers’night is the heavily anticipated new studio album from groundbreaking modern soul artist Maxwell. BLACKsummers’night is the first full-length Maxwell release since Now, his critically-acclaimed third studio album, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in August 2001. This album is the sensuous opening installment of the artist’s monumental BLACKSUMMERS’NIGHT trilogy. Striving for an emotional authenticity and real world sound for the album, the entire album was recorded live in the studio with an a-list ensemble of elegantly sympathetic musicians.
