Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix Spending the day after Christmas with my parents in Jim Thorpe, PA, we came across The Emporium of Curious Goods. A frequent haunt during time spent at my Nana’s as a teenager, the shop shrouded in mystery and magic never failed in delivering “curiousities” – crystals, wicca spell books, incense and mystic potions. Since then, it’s taken a turn towards touristy tchotchke, but I still managed to find a few gems in the “Egyptian section” of the store. Having an almost subconscious affinity for Egyptian aesthetics (particularly triangles and pyramids), I was drawn to...

I’ve heard Instagram described as “like Twitter, but updates are all visual.” I like to think of it as a photo diary I share through Earlybird tinted lenses – or perhaps Hefe? Being a style girl and all,...

Who knew you had to escape to New Orleans to beat the heat. As Joel mixed up his signature “Moonshine Smash” (try it at Manna) at The Hotel Monteleone for Tales of the Cocktail, I reconnected with two former Wilmington stylemavens – fashion designer Amanda deLeon and Helen Howell, Island Passage’s favorite calendar girl in 85-degree weather while the rest of the North and Southeast sweltered. In preparing for any hot-weather holiday, I made sure to include a new favorite dress (a Mike Gonzalez dress from Oliver with pyramid detailing), a pair of statement earrings (Iosselliani earrings from Beanie + Cecil), my favorite...

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...
Runway break with Cyle Suesz, Photographer and Editor of Vent Magazine, at Charleston Fashion Week Photo: Cori Hanky Taking in my fifth year of Charleston Fashion Week or “fashion boot camp” as Charleston Magazine Style Editor Ayoka Lucas likes to call it, I can’t help but notice the changing sartorial landscape in Charleston. Where you once saw a sea of sundresses, preppy plaid and a parade of retail fashion shows, today there’s Gucci (worn by one of Charleston’s most stylish Mimi Apker), gold lame oxfords (I’m talking about you, Jasper), a dream fashion panel (including New York Fashion Week founder Fern Mallis,...
