Former NYC jewelry designer Marcia Lorberfeld at home in Wilmington     It’s not all that uncommon for a city mouse to decide she rather be a country mouse — or at least a country mouse with heels and lipstick.   In an effort to escape marathon work days that never seemed to end, ideas-on-demand pressure with back-to-back meetings all over Manhattan and a toxic Devil Wears Prada boss from hell, I can vividly recall why I escaped to the Carolina coast.   Whereas Joel and I took a leap with no initial ties to our charming city (other than my affinity for Nicholas Sparks romance novels), jewelry designer and native New Yorker Marcia Lorberfeld became entranced with Wilmington over a number of years while visiting her…

            Charleston Fashion Week Emerging Designer Siobhan Murphy under the tents Tuesday night – catch her show TONIGHT!    When I first met Siobhan, she was interning for Candy Shop Vintage and helping Deirdre sell her jewelry at my Charleston Style Swap.
