Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix On September 1st, Jess James, Land Rover and The City Club hosted a rollicking Great Gatsby Gala that Jay Gatsby himself surely would have approved of. To experience a bit of Jazz Age magic for yourself, please watch this event video produced by The Three Divas. Rebekah, Deborah and Jennifer spent three sleepless nights working on perfectly capturing the evening so please WATCH and if you think it’s simply “The Bee’s Knees,” please SHARE.

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...
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...
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...

High-Low skirt from LF Stores L: Actress Isabel Lucas in a maxi dress with lace crop top at Coachella R: San Fran blogger from On the Racks in a billowy high-low top We can all agree that some of the most creative dressing involves the right mix of high and low… a little YSL with J.Crew and a few vintage pieces thrown in. This Spring, as a take on the maxi skirt, I’m loving the high-low options. As a tall girl, minis can be more risky business than right on. When I recently strolled downtown in my high-low skirt (shown below) en route to...
COUNTDOWN 1 week from The Royal Wedding The Royal Wedding will be held at Westminster Abbey, where Diana’s funeral was held 13 years prior. Well girls, I guess there is no longer a chance of one of us becoming a Princess. As of next Friday, Catherine Middleton will be ”Waitie, Katie” no longer. For all the die-hard Royalphiles out there who plan on being up at 4:30am in their jammies with a cup of tea, there are plenty of folks wanting to know, “What’s the big deal?” I’ve always been fascinated with the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Monarchy and after spending my last semester of college...
