Stephanie "FiFi" Rodriguez is a local upcoming entreprenuer.  FiFi is a nail tech, esthetician and makeup artist this lady does it all!  

Recently, Fifi decided to go for one of her life-long dreams which is to start her own cosmetics line.  Her line is named "FiR" which is not only short for FIERCE but also her initials for Fifi Rodriguez, very clever don't you think?  

The line still in its infancy stages, currently consists of eyeshadow pigments.  I personally own 4 of them: Blood Diamonds (red), Sage (green), Cotton Candy (light blue), and Midnight Sparkle (dark blue with sparkles).  These pigments are very pigmented and Fifi told me she created the line with makeup artists in mind.  If these colors are too bold for you she also recently added more neutral earthy colors with hues of golds and browns.

Tampa Bay was on fire Friday night as the highly anticipated fashion show finally happened.  I have been going to this event all 4 years and I must say this was by far the best show. 

From the location, vendors, and even the runway setup.  It was a very sophisticated and chic event and well worth the wait to see.  Some of the vendors featured were Stella and Dot, Vertical magazine, Tampa Bay Times and much more. 

I personally was intrigued by 2 tables. Of course the table with the AMAZING shoes which was Ivanka Ska. The craftsmanship on her shoe designs are amazing.

Also, the other table that caught my interest was the Yelp table. The young ladies explained to me that the website is to promote small businesses. Basically you search what you are looking for and it will search the database and you can then see reviews from customers.  I thought that was great for our community.
