AUSTIN SXSW 2012 By: Jess James & Gay Adair Gay: Let’s just get this out of the way..South By Southwest (or “SouthBy as the locals say), the gigantic music festival in Austin, Texas each spring, is a blast. I’ll go back. Before we got there, the word all round went like this, “The festival is not what it used to be, ruined.” And, “Way too many people; go to Austin at another time” and, ” Miss the craziness, you can’t get food or drinks and the traffic is unbelievable!” As Jess wryly commented, “Gayyyyy, come on.

Hey y’all! I’m writing this week’s FASHION FIX in Charleston via Austin. I came right from Austin’s SXSW wearing bohemian maxis and denim shorts to full-on glam at Charleston Fashion Week.

I promise we will resume our Top 10 essentials for Spring via the Spring Fashion Preview (watch the event video below) along with festival attire (the good along with the very bad) from Austin. For now, I skipped tonight’s after party to share with you a few highlights from Night #1...

This isn’t surprising from a dad who once took a half of day off from work to surprise me at a live radio remote with Q102 at the Cherry Hill Mall - just in time to see me escort the Camden Aquarium’s shark mascot as part of my internship duties. A self-professed “Daddy’s girl,” my dad and I agree on a few key points - that...

Style Girl Jess James | Fashion Fix When Lynn at Ziabird told me jewelry designer Maggie Orli was coming to town for a trunk show, I knew I had to meet her. Taking note of my fondness for Maggie’s raw stones and handcrafted details in her jewelry, Lynn often points out Maggie’s newest pieces along with updates on her extensive and often exotic travels. With her jewelry in eclectic boutiques across the country, as well as stockists in England, Indonesia, Holland, Thailand, Sweden and Australia, I was surprised to find out that Maggie actually grew up right here in Wilmington....
