Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix Actress Emily Blunt with Edge of Urge hype man Michael Ussery Since Academy Award winning actor Colin Firth and actress Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) have come to town to film Arthur Newman, they have both been spotted dining at manna and solo at Harris Teeter (you may have passed Colin on your way to grab a new gallon of milk) while Emily spent some time shopping at Edge of Urge downtown. I first heard of her sighting at Edge of Urge via Michael Ussery’s Instagram photo (per last...

Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix Margherita Missoni featured wearing Missoni for Target in VOGUE’s September issue If you were one of the “lucky” ones who stormed Target this Tuesday for the launch of their Missoni line, chances are you purchased a $40 zig zagge Missoni for Target sweater or skirt that just sold to a possessed eBay shopper for a cool $130. Since 1953, the legendary Missoni fashion house has added color to the fashion landscape worldwide with its eclectic patterns, colors and textures. From September 13th to October 22nd, Target promised to “bring Missoni’s iconic Italian lifestyle” to the masses,...
My new intern Danielle Dewar recently spent some time in Manhattan. Instead of following up with pretty young things that made the pilgrimage from Wilmington to New York, she decided to profile her latest style icon, which happens to be her best friend’s grandmother. Since Closet Confessions originally debuted with a style profile on my own Nana and I’m an enthusiastic champion for all young-at-heart women with “Advanced Style,” I was all about it! Take it away, Danielle - Just four years ago I met my best friend Caitlin, in which a friendship was born...
I recently spent some time with Fashion Designer and former Wilmington resident Amanda deLeon in her adopted home in New Orleans. It’s hard to forget her avant garde designs, creative mind and platinum blond hair. This Louisiana native is now a redhead, but swears, “I’ve had my hair every color of the rainbow and I’m still the same person.” Several recent highlights include a potential editorial in Vogue Japan, a nod on UK blog kingdomofstyle and now, she’s preparing for the next NOLA Fashion Week in October. Amanda’s future may be looking bright, but she still wears the same shades....
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...
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...
