Final Fashiona Posting

After about two weeks of soul searching and in anticipation of my upcoming birthday...I have decided to retire Fashiona. She has been a part of my world since 2008 and all good things must come to an end. 

I do thank all my readers and followers both public and private (you know you are) over the last three years and I hope you join me in my new venture. 

I have started a new blog called BougieBohemianChica on Tumblr.  It is easier for me to update while I am on the go. No more third person...it is just me and my camera and my stylish thoughts.

 

Love 
Alicia aka "Fashiona" 

Again my new blog is http://bougiebohemianchica.tumblr.com/

Tables of Brotherhood kicks off in Atlanta

Remember the Million March in 1995...seems ages ago right?

Tables of Brotherhood tour hosted by CNN contributor Roland Martin is designed to encourage an open discussion around relevant topics to Dr. King’s message and legacy. It started in Atlanta appropriately ( Dr. King was a second generation Morehouse man and his church was in the city)  and is traveling around the country. 

Smart, well dressed men, advocating  for good in education, job creation and positive relationships....what's not to like?

Fashiona at ArtFusion: Where Fashion meets Art

Last Friday night, Fashiona attended Celebrity Photographer Drexina Nelson's first annual Art Fusion: Where Fashion meets Art.

With Billie Holiday as her muse...she wore a pink flower in her hair and wore black and pink satin shoes.  If they were giving out a Miss Prissy award...she would have won one hands down.

Fashiona was happy to see her friend Arkeedah sporting her blonde curls and Janice looking ever so radiant in white.

One of  Fashiona's favorite looks from the fashion show.

Lifestyle Specialist Kenny Burns and BMW Executive Catherine Brewton won Style of the Year Awards.

Happy 50th Birthday President Barack Obama

If Fashiona could sing...she would sing Happy Birthday (Stevie Wonder style) to President Obama in honor of his 50th Birthday. 

Alas she cannot sing (well) so she decided to share with her readers (mwah) her favorite Obama pictures over the years.  She fully agrees with Obama when he said last week "Michelle still thinks I am cute". 

 

Sir...a lot of us do too.

 Barack Obama in college...he has been smoking a loonnnnng time.  He is killing the hat though !! Love it!

Move over Kanye...Dwayne Wade is a bonafide fashion icon to be

Whether we ladies admit to being NBA fans or not...most of us can appreciate Dwayne Wade's chocolatey looks and his 12 pack washboard of a stomach.  Fashiona has Mr. Air to thank for this bit of eye candy in the form of his upcoming fashion documentary.
