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...
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...
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,...
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,...
