Style Profiles
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...
Tess Wheatley and Tiffany Taylor at The Garden Party after-party at Dockside I was graciously invited to attend The Garden Party with Dr. Mike Nichols and his beautiful wife Oz, who seduced everyone in her ultra sophisticated almost-antithesis Garden Party look – a black ALC jumpsuit from Beanie + Cecil, a Diane Fort Shagott headpiece from aMuse Artisanal Finery and her amazing Prada handbag just purchased in Vegas. All day long , women approached her saying how stunning she looked, ”just like Audrey Hepburn” before asking her to pose for a picture. From candy-colored stripes, jewel tones, monogrammed...
AUSTIN SXSW 2012 By: Jess James & Gay Adair Gay: Let’s just get this out of the way..South By Southwest (or “SouthBy as the locals say), the gigantic music festival in Austin, Texas each spring, is a blast. I’ll go back. Before we got there, the word all round went like this, “The festival is not what it used to be, ruined.” And, “Way too many people; go to Austin at another time” and, ” Miss the craziness, you can’t get food or drinks and the traffic is unbelievable!” As Jess wryly commented, “Gayyyyy, come on. That sounds like...
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...
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 Chassity Aull Evans of Look Linger Love + the J.Crew espadrilles she is bringing to Style Swap! Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of enjoying a honey latte with Style Swap Charleston co-hostess Chassity Aull Evans of must-read blog Look Linger Love. Not only is her blog a Pinterest junkies paradise, but apparently she also has great taste in music (I ran into her at the Avett Brothers concert two nights prior). Wink. Naturally, Chassity has a covetable wardrobe (did you catch sight of her fabulous shoes last year at Charleston Fashion...
Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix Since the Style Girl Vintage Collection now has a home both downtown at aMuse Artisanal Finery (19 South 2nd Street) and at Tickled Pink at Lumina Station, my intern (sometimes referred to as Brad to my Rachel) Michael Deininger-Bell texted me over the holidays, “Pleasssse can we take some pictures?” So, the Style Girl / FASHION FIX team (Michael, a talented emerging photographer and Juliana, my trusted do-it-all girl Friday) invaded Tayloe Gray’s new office space downtown, which was once akin to a Madame Tussaud’s take on the African safari now in transition from former...
Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix Even if you’ve never met my dad, chances are if we’re friends on Facebook, you may have noticed a reliable “Dave James like this” under a variety of my posts. This isn’t surprising from a dad who once took a half of day off from work to surprise me at a live radio remote with Q102 at the Cherry Hill Mall - just in time to see me escort the Camden Aquarium’s shark mascot as part of my internship duties. A self-professed “Daddy’s girl,” my dad and I agree on a few key points - that...
Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix Zoe Deschanel at The Golden Globes Once again, I missed The Golden Globes – but with good reason. Sunday night, instead of parking it on the couch, I joined some of my favorite friends at Satellite where we cut a rug, drank some moonshine and promenaded our partners under the tutelage of the “Mouth of the South,” and the rest of the Nashville boys who make up the Hog Slop String Band. Much more “yee-haw” than “And, who are you wearing tonight?” but have no fear – Shannon represented with her Rag &...
Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix When Lynn at Ziabird told me jewelry designer Maggie Orli was coming to town for a trunk show, I knew I had to meet her. Taking note of my fondness for Maggie’s raw stones and handcrafted details in her jewelry, Lynn often points out Maggie’s newest pieces along with updates on her extensive and often exotic travels. With her jewelry in eclectic boutiques across the country, as well as stockists in England, Indonesia, Holland, Thailand, Sweden and Australia, I was surprised to find out that Maggie actually grew up right here in Wilmington....
