royal wedding
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...

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...
COUNTDOWN 1 week from The Royal Wedding The Royal Wedding will be held at Westminster Abbey, where Diana’s funeral was held 13 years prior. Well girls, I guess there is no longer a chance of one of us becoming a Princess. As of next Friday, Catherine Middleton will be ”Waitie, Katie” no longer. For all the die-hard Royalphiles out there who plan on being up at 4:30am in their jammies with a cup of tea, there are plenty of folks wanting to know, “What’s the big deal?” I’ve always been fascinated with the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Monarchy and after spending my last semester of college...

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,...
