Fashion Shows
Style Girl’s intern Michael Deininger-Bell with his Fresh & Precious blog partner Courtney McGovern showing off their Americana style. Even when Memorial Day was a few months away, did you notice stars and stripes are having a bit of a moment? Separately (stars. stripes.), that’s not all that surprising. Same goes with the red, white and blue combination. Every year when the sunshine calls, we see the “summer on the French Riveria” type of vibe, but I’m talking about in-your-face America. Get this. It’s actually kind of in style to be patriotic. (Click HERE to see “60 Hot Hipster Girls...
Malia McCarthy brigtens up the runway in an outfit from Monkee’s at last Thursday’s fashion show at Wine, Women & Shoes benefiting Make-A-Wish. Photo: Matt Dols Last year, I was contacted by Make-A-Wish in Raleigh about an event they were planning on bringing to Wilmington. They expressed interest in promoting their event Wine, Women & Shoes in the FASHION FIX. I was excited to hear about the concept: fashion show, shopping, wine and most memorably, “Shoe Guys” that basically “serve” and sell shoes from local boutiques to raise money for a cause close to all our hearts,...
Joel and Jess with our dear friend, painter Brad Kunkle, at his second sold-out show ”Gilded Wilderness” at Arcadia Gallery in Soho “It’s perfect. SGV… Style Girl Victory” Brad declared as he looked at his reflection in the mirror at Topman wearing a blazer I handed him to try on a few minutes earlier. It was two days before his sophomore exhibit opening show “Gilded Wilderness” at Arcadia Gallery in Soho. Instead of getting milkshakes at The Bowmanstown Diner like we did as teenagers, we were on a shopping mission in Manhattan. Two years prior, we witnessed...

Hey y’all! I’m writing this week’s FASHION FIX in Charleston via Austin. I came right from Austin’s SXSW wearing bohemian maxis and denim shorts to full-on glam at Charleston Fashion Week. As you can imagine, that was some intense packing! Six hours of deliberation and accessorizing, but who’s counting? I promise we will resume our Top 10 essentials for Spring via the Spring Fashion Preview (watch the event video below) along with festival attire (the good along with the very bad) from Austin. For now, I skipped tonight’s after party to share with you a few highlights from Night #1...
Last Thursday, there were far more fashionistas in Blue Hand Home than home furnishings. In celebration of the annual FASHION FIX Spring Fashion Preview presented by Wilmington Dermatology Center, Tracy and Arnie transferred couches, dining tables, textured rugs and a menagerie of interior accents to a home they are staging to make room for a runway and a variety of pop-up shops from Wilmington’s favorite boutiques and designers. For the next several weeks, I will share with you the Top 10 Trends for Spring we previewed that evening, starting with NEON worn to perfection by model Ozlem Nichols. This ALC “caution...

Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix VIDEO: Click above to watch the super fun Style Swap Charleston video produced by The Three Divas! For the past several months, I’ve been in touch with Arielle, who works at a production company called 44 Blue based in LA. She originally contacted me after discovering the Style Swap website. She said they were intrigued with the concept as a potential for a reality-based show, and wanted to know more. They are producing their first style-based show “House of Consignment” documenting Chicago-based fashionista Corri McFadden’s online high-end consignment...
Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix Last Saturday, it was all about shopping local. Heading to Projekte’s first annual indie pop-up shop, I decided to wear the Guess snakeskin jeans – straight out of the 90’s – that I picked up at A Second Time Around. Can I tell you how badly I coveted a pair of Guess jeans when I was in middle school? I can remember Chrissy Borton, who was at least a freshman and wore painted-on Guess jeans almost daily, swinging her long blond ponytail and looking over her shoulder towards the back of the schoolbus...
