Fashion Week Trends For Your Closet (Now)!

Good morning, Everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was so good, and I’m ready to start the new week! And I’m choosing to start the new week with trends I spied on the runway (and off) last week that we can all have in our closets now. No waiting. And even better, a lot of these items are less than $60! Think sheer, neon, pastel, floral, playsuits, and cutouts.

Sheer Jacket with Neon Stiching (Holy moly I want this.)
Mint Skinny Jean (These are in, but I don’t need to tell you that… & they’re only $57.)
Florid 2 Piece Bikini (Be still my heart, right?)
Tunic with Neon Gem Trim (Holy moly I just ordered this :)
Strappy Suede Sandals (And these come in other fun colors too.)
Playsuit with Rope Belt (Playsuits are in. And this one comes in adorable colors too.)
Tuxedo Jacket (I so need one of these.)
Sheer Cutaway Shirt (Again, sheer is cool.)
Palm Scarf Print Jeans (Patterned pants are so it right now, and these are only $70.)


And let’s not forget a good knit. Isn’t this A+RO Milena Sweater incredible?

Happy Shopping!! xx

Charleston Fashion Week 2012 Thursday Night Recap

{Photography by Reese Moore}

Alright, we had another fun show Thursday night at Charleston Fashion Week 2012. I was pleasantly surprised by Copper Penny’s (a local boutique) show and wouldn’t have thought I’d take away anything new and worth reporting from them. But this hair is pretty cool don’tcha think?

But onto the Emerging Designers. Check out what they brought.

And Sarah Parrott, Luciana Scarabello, & Nikki Poulos from NBC’s Star Fashion Series were the featured designers. I met Sarah last year when she was an emerging designer at CFW and absolutely adored her style. Still do. A very wearable collection.
I’d say that CFW judge Lindsey Carter (designer of Troubadour) with her husband Wes on her right and CFW judge Cameron Silver (wearing the hat) are enjoying the show.

Whew, fashion week can be exhausting. I totally hit up my favorite food truck, Roti Rolls, (conveniently parked right outside of the CFW tents) on my way out. I saw some of the models headed their direction too, always good to see that :)


I’ll be back soon with the bridal show recap!

Charleston’s Most Stylish each got a shout out from Charleston Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief Darcy Shankland and CFW Creative Director Ayoka Lucas.

Wednesday night’s Featured Designer was Michael Wiernicki. He presented as an emerging designer last year. I can’t say that his collection is really “my thing” but I respect his individuality. He put on an interesting show!

Lastly, so sorry I don’t have any of last night’s street styles for you today. We can all blame my husband. I came down the stairs and Josh totally shot down what I put on to wear to the show (for those of you wondering it was a sheer top). Bahaha, so I was a little late getting there. Guess husbands have a right to share their opinion from time to time ;) I did say I turned 30 last week right?? I felt 15… Here’s what I ended up wearing:


How cool is Erin Perkins with her bun? Much thanks to Jess James for snapping this picture! Oh, and back to street styles… the good news is you can see Street Style Under the Tents by Diana Deaver here!

Balloon Cool

Have you seen Bon Bon Balloons’ take on celebration balloons?

So cute, I love those clear balloons. And I think you can totally do your own version of these. Remember the balloons I made for Lilly’s halloween party last year?

Just find some big balloons and tie pretty garlands to them.

PS, yesterday I was over at Emily Clark’s blog. Go see what the last thing is that I hung on my wall. There are some super cool other bloggers that also contributed, great ideas over there. What’s the last thing you hung on your wall?

Charleston Fashion Week 2012 Opening Night Recap

I arrived in Marion Square for Charleston Fashion Week’s opening night festivities to a good looking crowd anticipating a lively night. I managed to snap a few pictures before the show began in between conversations with some familiar faces and some new to me blog readers :)

There were photographers everywhere and some interviews too.
