You know you’ve got it bad when you’re daydreaming about denim in 105-degree weather. You can’t help but turn the heat up a notch when you’re wearing either pair of Style Girl’s favorite jeans for the season. A summer romance is sure to ensue whether you opt for “The Drama,” Mother jeans’ 70′s revival, boho chic denim wide-leg trouser (available at Oliver) or J. Brand’s red skinny jeans (available at Beanie + Cecil), the red-hot alternative to summer’s ho-hum staple white jeans. Here are some tips for rockin’ summer denim’s most covetable silhouettes and colors. WIDE LEG: * The vintage blue wash on The Drama looks...

Since MAD MEN’s new season will not premiere until 2012 (due to contract delays), Jess James and The Hilton Garden Inn decided to host a high-style Mid-Century inspired “We Miss Mad Men” event giving fans a Mad Men fix that would even impress the likes of Don Draper. Guests enjoyed shopping vintage treasures from Precious Gems & Jewelry, Charleston’s Candy Shop Vintage and Je Modiste hats, Second Time Around, Style Girl Collection, The Eclectic home decor and retro inspired lingerie & swimsuit models courtesy...
So, you’ve been getting your weekly fashion fix but what about your Mad Men fix? Typically, the new season debuts in early August but due to contract negotiation hiccups, the word is we won’t be seeing Don Draper until April 2012. Le, sigh…. Since I typically only get cable exclusively for Mad Men, I decided I couldn’t wait any longer for cable or for a little Draper swagger, Betty’s feminine frocks and Joanie’s head-turning curves. In partnering with the Hilton Garden Inn, we decided to host a high-style, Mid Century inspired “We Miss Mad Men” event giving fans a Mad Men fix that would even impress the likes...
It’s Father’s Day this weekend. Do you have something special for dear ol’ dad? While I’m waiting for inspiration to strike, I checked in with David Frederiksen (pictured left), Editor-in-Chief of Men, Ink (formerly Cape Fear Dad). With his larger-than-life personality (and until recently, unruly curly mop of hair), David is best known for his publicity work for New Hanover Regional Medical Center, being a mover and shaker man-about-town and ultimately, for being a dedicated dad. ff: David, even though you’ve been busy preparing for the launch of Men Ink’s first issue in October, do you have a plan for Father’s Day? “I’m taking my...
Photos: Jess James Spotting Kelsey Gibbs, Etsy power seller (check out Tractordog), at a fashion show last summer, I requested to feature her in the Style Fix to find out more about her fabulous mix of sequins, silk and lace. Setting a photo shoot date for this week, we decided to meet in front of the location of her soon-to-be shop, The Wonder Shop, at 22 North Front Street. After parking, she texted: “I don’t think I’ve ever worn sequins this side of noon!” With the sun glinting off her high-waisted sequined shorts, I met her in front of the empty storefront, marked “Mademoiselle” in faded tiles on...
VINTAGE RESTYLE My heart races, my pulse quickens. It feels a little like the moment you realize you may see your crush (swoon) but more often than not, the thrill subsides and you’re left imagining “the one” that got away. I’m not talking about dating, folks. This is the intensity of professional vintage shopping! Several months ago, I experienced this familar feeling of anticipation as I entered “The Vintage Room” at The Bargain Box. I immediately spotted a glimpse of this gorgeous fabric – a bluish green with an overlaying gold foil print. Screeeech. I quickly pushed aside the two garments concealing its silhouette. In plain view,...
I thought my parents might disown me when I told them I would be hosting the Fashion Fix Royal Wedding event instead of attending their first house concert featuring Sarah Sample, an “Americana” folk singer they became smitten with during her performance on the Cayamo Cruise (a cruise ship dedicated to singer songwriters). Okay, that might be a bit dramatic but I was anticipating at least a week of the “silent treatment” from my dad. The truth is, I hated to miss it. I loved the idea of my parents hosting an actual concert inside the walls of my childhood home in Woodstown,...
Photo: Jess James Location: Joe Dunton Cameras I recently had the pleasure of meeting Costume Designer Erika Munro, a statuesque beauty with wavy locks and signature shade of red lipstick, for French 75 cocktails at manna, and a few weeks later, a behind the scenes look in the costume department. Set up in the back of Joe Dunton Cameras, Erika’s staff packed up fringed cowboy boots and shoulder padded and sequined remnants from the 80′s culled for the Wilmington-based film Hick starring Blake Lively, Chloe Moretz and Juliette Lewis. Munro, a New Yorker in Wilmington for the first time, stayed in an old cottage on Wrightsville Beach...
