Cynthia Bailey gets Real

What

didn't

we talk about? A twenty minute interview rolled into an hour of extremely candid conversation with model, mentor and reality TV star

Cynthia Bailey

. The self-proclaimed workaholic has also become an inspiration for a younger generation. Cynthia shared stories, dispelled rumors and gave whole-hearted advice on a range of topics. From her modeling career to opinion about the lack of 'color' on the runways, from RHOA craziness to her friendship with NeNe Leakes. Also, about her marriage with Peter Thomas, her fabulous new doll, [her public] health and fitness issues, the Bailey Agency, etc etc...

Yep, a lot.

If it weren't that Cynthia had to pick her daughter up from school, we might still be talking! Cynthia gave such a passionate and genuine interview. Tears at times. Followed by laughs and later high-fives.

*Watch the entire interview next month on fashionadoTV.

Maison Martin Margiela Spring 2014

February 05, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

Maison Martin Margiela presented clever ideas for their Spring Couture show. Tim Blanks of Style.com compared the collection to the Slow Food movement - such a fitting reference. Instead of organic, farm-to-table cuisine, think designer textiles from greats such as Frank Lloyd Wright, selvedge included. Personally, I love and I'm intrigued with the creative process. The collection of ideas that come together to conceptualize, produce and execute a designer's vision is very revealing. The organdy face masks with embroidery over the eyes are creepy, I'll admit. But at the same time, the juxtaposition of beauty and horror offers an unsettling appeal to many.

Nina's Couture by Nina Gleyzer

February 04, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

These garments are as beautiful to the touch as they are a feast for the eyes. I had the pleasure of chatting it up with Russian born and Atlanta-based fashion designer Nina Gleyzer at her Buckhead atelier. Nina's attention to detail and devotion to sophisticated, elegant design is outstanding. Nina's Couture creates one design, made-to-measure for the client.

You will won't see someone else wearing your frock. So whether it's an original LBD your looking for or a show-stopping red carpet dress, Nina is a must. On my next visit to Nina's Couture, the fashionadoTV camera's will be with us. Stay tuned!

3 Scarf Tricks You Have Got to Try

February 04, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

by guest blogger Lisa Loperfido

Everybody loves scarves. They make the perfect accessories for, well, anything. Here are three tricks you might not have thought for using your scarves to their fullest potential.

1. Have you ever been in a hurry to get to work, but your clothes are all soiled from endless nights of partying with no time to launder in between? Throw on a scarf! A big loop-de-loop will cover that red wine right up.

2. Want to rock the infinity but all your old scarves are boring “rectangle” shaped? Knot the ends of your “boring” scarf together, circle it twice around your head and tuck the tied ends beneath the loop - you are good to go!

3. This next look is mainly for the ladies… Recently I cut off all my hair which also means no more giant top buns! (So sad!) To make up for it I tie a scarf into a big rosette on top of my head which adds maximum volume to my do! Whether you’ve still got your long locks, or are going through a pixie phase like me, this look will add volume and MAKE IT WORK every time!

I’m going to assume there are a lot of scarves in your closet that you might have forgotten about… bring’em out, bring’em out! A scarf is a great way to bring life back into an outfit, add volume to your look, or cover up mishaps. Wear it with confidence and enjoy that fabulous scarf collection!
