Cristal Carrington

It's been an exhausting few months for the Cristal Carrington brand, however, I did manage to get a few projects in the works for all my dudes and dolls to close out the year strong.

Below are just a few pics from my latest photoshoot on location at Museum Restaurant & Lounge.

New photos will be placed on my site at www.CristalCarrington.com, look out for them soon!

Smooches & Stay Fabulous!

When a socialite hears about a shoe sale we go crazy.  Obviously, another opportunity to grace our feet with the latest fashions is always a good thing.  This week, I listed a shoe pick of the week from BCBGeneration that was drastically reduced and ultra cute for the autumn season.  Thank you for all my dolls that checked it out and signed up with your personal shopper.

Well ladies and gents, another fabulous shoe sale is amongst us and this time I had to post it right away, since next week this shoe sale will no longer be going on.


LIFE Christmas Shoe Project:  Shoe Pick Of The Week
Meet Jorge (see picture below).  Jorge doesn't have any shoes.  He lives in an impoverished area in the world where shoes are a commodity.  The thought of simply ordering shoes online or even going to the local department store to buy them is unheard of to him.

To get food Jorge sifts through trash laden piles, all the while shoeless and in a sense hopeless.  I urge all my fabulous socialite dudes and dolls to have compassion and donate just $36 towards not only helping Jorge, but 9 other children, as your donation will help at minimum 10 children for every order.


I usually never post articles this early in the morning (I'm a night owl) and I will probably be late to work, but I felt compelled to share this sale and I hope that you all reading this will take out the time to participate in this once a year sale that does so much good for others.  The sale ends this week, so please make a difference.  To be a socialite - a part of our duty to the world and to the life of fab is to give.

BCBGeneration 'Penelopee' Wedge

It’s almost completely time to cover up our toesies, but before we do, my fab dolls just have to check out this BCBG Penelopee Wedge that just recently went on sale for $78.90. (Reg: $117.95)

For less than your grocery bill, you can be sporting these game changers to work and out for play. These leopard peep-toes are the latest rage in footwear and perfect for the beginning fall season.

A fluid and funky primitive mix of black suede and faux leopard print all at the right price, makes this shoe wild and wonderful.

On a quest to find the ultimate party experience, I traveled to Virginia for a fab Hawaiian inspired 57th birthday party. Below are a few fab pics from the party and we indeed had a blast. Sipping on Sea Breezes and being crowned with leis upon entry to the party makes our friend, Mr. Nanalig's birthday a success. With that said, I salute all my fabulous dolls and say...Aloha.

Happy Tuesday fabulous dolls! As a new feature to TheUptownDiva.com, I will now present a shoe pick of the week to inspire and delight my lovelies with the hottest and most decadent shoes on the market.

As any budget-minded diva would be, I will attempt to keep the shoe retail prices below $200, but I can’t make any promises, if it is a prime shoe find, I must disclose. Just a warning!

Shoes are a girl’s best friend, next to diamonds and a teacup Maltese, so while I await my Romeo to send her to me fully equipped with her custom diamond dog collar, I will just suffice with fabulous shoes and my cuddly cat Chance, a black, short-hair with green eyes, who I adopted last year from B.A.R.C.S (www.baltimoreanimalshelter.org)

Chance is a Taurus, so he loves fab things like this rhinestone cat collar ($28.95) from www.here-kittykitty.com.

But, enough about pets, it’s all about shoes and my tantalizing shoe pick of the week is the:
Burberry Herringbone Rain Boot

Perfect for rainy weather, you will brighten up the day with these aqua blue boots (Kingfisher)sporting a classic Burberry design. With a retail value at $225 and currently on sale for $118.99, these boots won’t be around for long.

Enter your information, select your favorite brands, price range and your clothing/accessory or shoe needs for you and the family, and voila, designer sales will pop up at a frequency that you set. Now that’s what I call having control.

Definitely NO SPAM,only fabulous designer shopping at a price you can afford.

Smooches & Stay Fabulous!

Many celebrities have been hoisted in front of the mic when they had less than stellar vocal talents. Do you remember Milli Vanilli? Is Tamar Braxton one of them?

Watch Tamar Braxton sing The National Anthem at The 2nd Annual AT&T Nation's Football Classic and see if she can really sing???

I have recently visited DC to attend The 2nd Annual AT&T Nation’s Football Classic featuring Howard University and Morehouse College. To say the least it was an exciting moment in HBCU football history.

The Howard Bison, whom are known to have one of the best college homecomings in the nation gained victory over the Morehouse Tigers with a score of 30-29 in a down-to-the-seconds win that was anything but a cake walk for the home team.

All in all, my favorite part about HBCU football games are the food,the bands, and of course all the smack talking that goes down amongst the competing schools alum. Here's a little taste of my weekend experience at The 2nd Annual Nation's Football Classic sponsored by AT&T.
