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. Easily the best dressed in a vintage disco-ready silver hued jumpsuit, she purchased a backless Jean Paul Gaultier white blouse from my vintage collection that day. I immediately was impressed. Girl knows her vintage! And with her signature style and a name like Siobhan, she’s hard to forget. Around this same time, Siobhan launched ReTulled Tutus, a couture and ready-to-wear tutu...

Photo: Tommy Ton A fashion emergency went into effect in New York this past week as fashion editors, socialites, buyers and bloggers had to trade out their thigh high stilettos and 6-inch platform heels for flat boots and Wellies. The style tribe kept a close watch on their weather app for Nemo blizzard updates in between loading blurry runway shots to their Instagram feed. No matter the number of spills on and off the runway, it was clear that the show(s) must go on. Below is a collection of some of my favorite New York Fashion Week: Nemo edition...

Photo: Journelle I’m going to go ahead and mention it. Brace yourself. Valentine’s Day is around the corner. I can already hear the collective groan. Or perhaps for the dwindling number of hopeless romantics, maybe a tinge of excitement? I can’t help but remember each year in high school – Valentine’s Day and the mixed feeling of dread and anticipation hearing a knock on our classroom door.

Hair & Makeup by Emily Wetzel of Seagrass Salon Whoever says there is nothing to do in Wilmington can bite their tongue. Post-holidays can be a bit blah but by late January, the events season is in full swing elevating the dinner-and-back-home-again crowd into full fledged socialites. For a peek at last weekend’s adventures in Wilmywood (which included some creative outfit changes), see the Social Chic albums below. Enjoy the freedom that comes along with the freakin’ weekend. Hope...
