SouthPark Magazine Valentine's Fashion Feature

I was thrilled for the opportunity to work with one of the most talented and lovely photographers that I know, Richard Israel, along with a wonderful team of stylists and models on a recent fashion feature for SouthPark Magazine.  Richard is a wonderful portrait, wedding and fashion photographer with a style and edge all his own.  Most of all, he is a lovely person. Our models, Tonya Robinson and Tanner Junker, were totally on point, as was hair and makeup artist Teri-Lyn Hiroshige.  I had some great help from my hardworking, motivated and talented intern, Lauren. We even got to style one of Lauren's necklaces in the Central Ave. shot!  Charlotte has grown so much and continues to grow very quickly.  It was particularly fun to pair looks with some of my personal favorite spots--some new, some old--around our great city.  Take a look and see what you think!  And for the record, I think Tanner was totally sneaking a peak! ;)

What to Wear: Sadie Hawkins

It is officially Sadie Hawkins season for Charlotte area public and private schools!  And with that, my super chic, cooler than cool intern Lauren has curated some perfect head-to-toe (sans spray tan) outfits for the upcoming Sadies dances!  Feast your eyes on our one-stop shop... From the edgy gal to the simple girl, and at all price points, we've got you covered.

Up first, Lauren's personal favorite; this yellow-patterned (unbelievably accessible in price) dress paired with AMAZING Chloé platform heels and your choice of gold earring.

The one earring trend is offically back on the block.  Reach for Whitley's pick, this celestially fun moon and stars pair. 

Self Portrait always packs a fan-favorite punch.

This Alice Mccall dream goes well with pearls and silver, elegant, yet trendy sandals.  You might even let your mom (Whitley) borrow it. 

Into something a little different?  A slip dress... (think Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy wedding or Gwynth Patrow in that Calvin Klein long silver dress) like this black slip dress can be styled edgy-cool with a killer red metallic moto jacket, Tory Burch bandana choker, and monochrome booties.
