top moments at essence music fest

If you're not familiar with Essence Music Festival or you've never attended the 3-day event, you should change that ASAP. The New Orleans based festival has been going down for 19 years and by day it's home to empowering seminars and by night, features some of the world's top musical acts.I had the pleasure of attending EMF last week {my second year in a row} and in between hosting my Best Dressed Madame event and stuffing my face {try the chargrilled oysters at  Acme Oyster House and share a platter of fried seafood at Deanie's}, I took in shows, a few events and even got in a bit of shopping. Take a peek at my top 5 Essence Fest moments, including stellar performances that blew me away and how I scored a unique purse for just $20.

We all know accessories are a girl's best friends. But we also know it can be pricey stocking up on new accessories season after season. Luckily, there are some pieces that are always "in." Buy 'em once and you're good to go. They never go out of style and can be paired with anything in your closet.

Classic pieces are worth splurging on but if your funds are a bit low, check out the options below, they're all under $50.

Aviators: A great pair of sunnies is a must once the sun starts shining. While other sunglasses will equally protect your peepers, aviators were just as hot in the 70s as they are now. Even better, they flatter all face shapes.
