Edge of Urge
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...
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 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...
So, you’ve been getting your weekly fashion fix but what about your Mad Men fix? Typically, the new season debuts in early August but due to contract negotiation hiccups, the word is we won’t be seeing Don Draper until April 2012. Le, sigh…. Since I typically only get cable exclusively for Mad Men, I decided I couldn’t wait any longer for cable or for a little Draper swagger, Betty’s feminine frocks and Joanie’s head-turning curves. In partnering with the Hilton Garden Inn, we 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...
It’s Father’s Day this weekend. Do you have something special for dear ol’ dad? While I’m waiting for inspiration to strike, I checked in with David Frederiksen (pictured left), Editor-in-Chief of Men, Ink (formerly Cape Fear Dad). With his larger-than-life personality (and until recently, unruly curly mop of hair), David is best known for his publicity work for New Hanover Regional Medical Center, being a mover and shaker man-about-town and ultimately, for being a dedicated dad. ff: David, even though you’ve been busy preparing for the launch of Men Ink’s first issue in October, do you have a plan for Father’s Day? “I’m taking my...
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...
VINTAGE RESTYLE My heart races, my pulse quickens. It feels a little like the moment you realize you may see your crush (swoon) but more often than not, the thrill subsides and you’re left imagining “the one” that got away. I’m not talking about dating, folks. This is the intensity of professional vintage shopping! Several months ago, I experienced this familar feeling of anticipation as I entered “The Vintage Room” at The Bargain Box. I immediately spotted a glimpse of this gorgeous fabric – a bluish green with an overlaying gold foil print. Screeeech. I quickly pushed aside the two garments concealing its silhouette. In plain view,...
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...
