Lady of Style

I am so excited to introduce to you one of my new blogging friends, Annette Hoeldrich of Lady of Style.  As a follower of the Queen City Style, Annette reached out to me with the most lovely greeting.  She started writing Lady of Style, and I immediately fell in love.  As I've said time and time again, my favorite thing about fashion is that there is so much room for interpretation.  I find my own personal style sometimes difficult to pin down, because I love the artistry of fashion so much. I simply adore the idea that my readership consists of men and women ranging in all ages, ethnicity and cultures.  I love receiving inquiries from readers with certain requests for outfit posts.  The clients I style range in age from the 30's to 60's.  Annette recently turned 50 (a stunning natural beauty), and I now turn to Lady of Style to take cues when styling some of my own clients! Without further adieu, thanks for being here, lovely Annette...

"Would you like to guest post on my blog?"

Me? I just started blogging 3 months ago and now I receive this generous offer from Whitley? From this gorgeous woman with her fabulous blog and all those stunning photoshoots that I followed even before I thought of an own blog? Honestly, I was flattered and proud!

I came quite a long way over from Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany, an hour's drive south of Munich. Maybe you've heard about the famous Passion Play?

When my daughter started blogging I was involved to get her started and there was something on my mind: Why are there only so few blogs for women 40+?

I haven't given up my passion for fashion and style just because I turned 50 recently. There is a good reason for age-appropriate dressing but that doesn't mean we have to look frumpy! I love following trends if I can give them my personal signature: Elegance on a budget.

Finally spring arrived and I couldn't wait to get my new floral prints out. These trousers are part of the Lana del Rey collection for H+M. I love the colours and the silky fabric. Paired with a light purple lingerie top and my new white blazer (a must for this season!) I feel ready for spring.

What do you think about my purple velvet shoes? They are really comfortable and I got them on sale for 10€!

If you want to know more about me and my style, I'll invite you over to visit my blog Lady of Style.

Whitley, thank you so much for hosting me! It has been such a pleasure and fun to work with you. I am really looking forward to your post over at my place!

Hugs from Germany,

Annette

RIP Lilly Pulitzer + Belk and Charleston Fashion Week

The top image is a favorite of my Grandparents who were always so glamorous and in love.  My Grandmother is wearing a Lilly Pulitzer skirt, and I'm wearing that skirt in the image just below it.  Lilly Pulitzer's creations were born from a juice stand in Palm Beach.  Her designs hold their value in the way they seem to effortlessly transcend time.  You know a Lilly when you spot it from a mile away.  You all know I recently went to Charleston Fashion Week as a guest of Belk.  I found the timing to be most befitting to share with you images from a very special Lilly Pulitzer fashion show sponsored by Belk in conjunction with a live auction raising thousands of dollars for the Medical University of South Carolina Children's Hospital.  The Lilly Pulitzer creations on show were just as timeless as ever.  Shop current Lilly Pulitzer designs HERE and great sale merchandise HERE.

Thanks so much for reading, Whitley

Charlie 1 Horse Boots, the Queen City Style, Chapel Hill Campus, Roy Rice Photography, Charlotte Fashion Blog, Southern Style Blog, summberbird boutique

Shirt, Shorts: (here's a pair), Hat: (similar) all c/o: summerbird. Coat: Vintage (similar). Belt: old, (similar). Boots: Charlie 1 Horse. Ram Cuff: Melvin. Earrings: Luv Aj and JewelMint. Bracelets: My Grandmother's, Stella & Dot. Necklace: thanks to by bye. Rings: Tiffany, Melinda Maria, Diamonds Direct.

I don't know about any of you, but when I was in school if anything was going to be the death of me it was Trigonometry class in Phillips Hall.  The overpriced tutor who barely spoke human did nothing to improve my understanding of whatever language it was he was speaking.  I guess some things just aren't meant to be. Bourbon from a coffee cup and a day of fun shooting Chapel Hill with an old friend, however, totally is.  (Pardon the silly grin and sleepy eyes).  Check out Roy's photography here. 

Ra-Ra anyone? xx-Whitley

Ann Roth Shoes At Hilliard Method Studio

Skirt: Alyssa Nicole, also here's one. Jacket: Gap. Shoes: Ann Roth Shoes. Hat: Gap (old), similar one. Tank: Gap. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Purse: Michael Kors, similar. Necklaces: thanks to Melvin and by boe. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom at Diamonds Direct. Earrings: JewelMint. Bracelets: Stella & Dot and my Grandmother's.

A photo of these shoes from Ann Roth Shoes solicited the single most number of thumbs up on the Queen City Style Facebook page to date.  While on my daily run one afternoon, (when I do pretty much all of my uninterrupted thinking), I wanted to figure out a fun and creative way to show off these bad boys.  

This song had me thinking. (Think nothing of the video, but if you want a fun song to add to your running mix, give it a listen).  Then it came to me, how fun would it be to work my new friends, dynamic mother and daughter team, Liz and Clary, over at Hilliard Method Studio?  Let me just tell you, holding these poses is a work out like no other.  There's a reason these ladies look as fantastic as they do.  They are mean machines between Bon Bon popping.  We are all worthy of indulging as a way to reward ourselves. I find Fitzgerald to be quite gratifying.  He's all the more fantastic at 20% Off just for readers of the Queen City Style.  Enter Code: QUEEN at check out.

North Carolina Dance Theatre is giving away a pair of tickets to one lucky reader of the Queen City Style for this Saturday night's Runway for the Ballet.  Enter here!

the Queen City Style Diaries...

I've written the first entry.  This has been on my mind for days and weeks. Hell, months.  It is ready to go, but I don't know if I can hit the publish button.  I've written multiple entries over and over in my mind.  Type, delete.  Type, delete.  Do I share and breathe the air deep into my lungs and by chance claim an enormous sense of relief, or do I not run the risk of making a complete fool of myself for all of you to see and know more closely?  The things that I want to push out of me, I hope will bring a sense of peace in doing so, but what if this only makes me look and feel so incredibly stupid?  I'm typically not one to care what others think of me, but at the same time, I have this devastatingly huge desire to please.  What and why IS that?  This is a fashion blog, yes, but it has grown into an amazing corner of my world, and that is because you read what I say, enough of you tell me you want to hear; every single new thumbs up on Facebook is a reason to keep going, and your feedback instills a deep and appreciated sense of confidence in me to tell you more. So, I am turning this over to you.  Here's the precursor for a possible first journal entry.

Not to worry, it will not be crass or lacking dignity.  I just only want to put it out there if you fashion blog lovers are remotely interested in hearing some less than fashionable things I might have to say.  I mean, it certainly won't be a post about the latest trends; but then again, it never was.

Oh goodness, with nothing but love ... Whitley

Fearrington + Free People

Shirt (similar), Sweater, Jeans, these are wild: Free People, all c/o Belk. Boots: Corral Boots. Hat: Nine West, Gloves: J. Crew (old), similar pair. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Belt: old, but love this one. Earrings: Drops- Bauble Bar, Bees- JewelMint. Ram Cuff: Melvin.

Not too long ago, thanks to the wonderful world of Facebook, I reconnected with an old friend. Since we grew up in the same town and graduated from the same college, much of the subject matter for Roy's photography kept catching my eye.  I was so excited when we simultaneously agreed, let's collaborate!  The town of Chapel Hill is fairly rural, and these boots were the first thing to come to mind.  I hopped on over to Belk to scour their Free People section and knew right away what I wanted to do with this garb.  If you are ever in the Triangle region of North Carolina, put The Fearrington House Inn and Village on your list. Such a fun day under cool Carolina blue skies.  Nothing could be finer.

Thanks so much for reading! Whitley

PS--yes, there is bourbon in the coffee cup.

Shoot The Duck

Sequin Top: Circa college dance team days. T-shirt: thanks to Charlotte Roller Girls. Jacket: summerbird. Pants: from Lipp Boutique, love these. Clutch: ASOS. Belt: Forever 21. Bangles: My Grandmother's and Bakelite thanks to summerbird. Lace glove and hair bow: Morris Costumes. Earrings: thanks to jami. Hooter's sunnies: thanks to hot cool chick I met in Playa del Carmen. Rings: Tiffany, Melinda Maria. Skates, elbow pads and knee pads: c/o Total Lizaster.

I think this might be my most fun post to date.  Any opportunity to channel my inner Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Belinda Carlisle or other inner 80's goddess is an opportune time for me.  When Charlotte Roller Girls Tweeted me a very friendly how do you do, I knew I had to collaborate with them.  Charlotte Roller Girls is an all-female track roller derby league putting their best foot forward on the rink and in the community with a portion of bout proceeds going to charity.  Want to watch the Charlotte Roller Girls take action?  Check out their schedule here. Bouts are filled with activities for children of all ages, and be sure to arrive early for tailgating like you've never seen.  So, just tell me I'm the only one who loved shooting the duck and drinking suicides until purple in a carbonated swelled face.  To all of you male readers... waiting for that slow dance... Forever yours, Faithfully.

Luke: Sweatshirt, Shirt, Jeans: Gap. Glasses: Aldo. Shoes: Aldo. Watch: Casio, vintage, similar. Bracelet: handmade.

I'm excited to be back here again with my adorable (right?) friend Luke.  For those of you who previously weighed in on my denim on denim post here, I'm especially loving his outfit. As previously stated... Since I met Luke at Gap Southpark over a running conversation while he helped me pick out a shirt for a male friend, a Gap-inspired shoot seemed like the only way to go. Again for these outfits, full wardrobe styling by Luke Yerrick, animation inspired by Malibu Rum. Go see Luke in the Queen City at Gap Southpark.

Have you noticed the increase in male fashion?  In response to men and girlfriends and wives, I've had a great time incorporating more mens fashion on the Queen City Style.  I hope you like it!

Thanks so much for being here!  xo-Whitley

Belk: Modern. Southern. Style.

I am a lifelong customer of Belk department stores, and chances are, if you were born and raised in the south east, you are too.  I remember entering the Asheville mall, always, through the Belk department store.  Conveniently enough, the doors opened to the children's and teen section, and my little girl Saturday excitement began at that moment.  Is it ironic that I always only enter Southpark Mall through Belk if I can help it?  It's not that I don't love the other stores, but there is just something about feeling home.  Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, and can you imagine my excitement when I was invited to the most recent Belk Fashion Preview as presented by VP of Merchandising and Fashion Direction, Arlene Goldstein?

I wore my most coveted suit which belonged to my Great-Grandmother, paired with the purse my Great-Great Grandmother needle pointed and my favorite Cole Haan pumps from Brazil (here).

Belk offers many of my favorite everyday lines, as well as several of the more artistic, fashion-forward brands I go to for individual statement making pieces.  Quite possibly the most exciting thing I took away from the presentation is that Belk will be carrying Cynthia Rowley by the end of March, and certainly in time for Girls Night Out at the Southpark store on Thursday, April 4th. Ms. Rowley, herself, is slated to attend.  I am hoping for a hand shake-hug, which is my professional greeting combined with the real me greeting.  The below dress and shirt are a couple of my oldest but most favorite Cynthia Rowley garments.

Most of you know that the majority of my fashion inspiration comes from my Grandmother and Great-Grandmother who were department store fashion buyers. I'll be back later to share some of my favorite pieces from Belk's spring offering, but for now, I just had to tell you about my fun meet and greet with Arlene at Belk.  It was just one more indication, for me, that the Queen City Style and where it is leading is the path for me.  Thank you for walking it with me.  Hope to see you on the 4th at Belk Southpark!

With gratitude, Whitley

Smelly Cat

Blouse: ASOS. Shorts: Piperlime and here. Turtleneck: CAbi. Boots and Tights: J. Crew. Purse: Chanel. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Hair Comb: JewelMint. Earrings: from J.T. Posh. Bracelets: Belonged to my Great-Grandmother, Grand-mother, Grand-mother in law, Stella & Dot. Rings: Belonged to my Grandmother here's my other favorite, Tiffany, Diamonds Direct.

When I spotted this shirt on my favorite on-line shopping site, ASOS, I was kind of drooling. Then my super-stylish pal, Jenny, (seriously check her out) insisted the shirt was made for me.  So, done and done.  That's when you buy it.  If you love it, and you can afford to pay for it in cash, you get it.  I could go on for days about the shirt, but I won't.  Instead, if you like it yourself, it's on SALE now.  If you're in the Queen City, check out Smelly Cat Coffeehouse in NoDa, Charlotte's Historic Arts District.  The neighborhood is Charlotte's closest answer to my hometown of Asheville, NC.  Arts, culture, good eats, music, creatures of all kinds and more! Oh, how about the fact that Donna has photographed Mother Teresa?!  Yes, Mother Teresa and me.  Unbelievable.

Love, Peace and Hair Grease, xx-Whitley

Denim On Denim

Shirt: Forever 21,

similar. Jeans: Zara, similar pair. Sweater: Ralph Lauren from summerbird, here's one. Boots: Charlie 1 Horse, mine are from Constance Consignment. Purse: Coach, belonged to my mother, current version here. Belt: old, similar. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Earrings: Jewelmint, also like these. Bracelets: My Grandmother's, Grandmother-in-law's, Stella & Dot. Rings: Tiffany, Diamonds Direct.

How do you feel about denim on denim?  I've had mixed emotions about it over time.  I think mainly because while I feel it is a very all American classic look, it can also get a little trendy. The former I am drawn to, the latter not so much.  I paired my denim look with two more American staples; a vintage Coach bag and cowboy boots, then dressed it up just smidge with small sparkly jewels and a cashmere cable knit.  In all honesty, this might as well be my uniform.  I wear any part of this outfit at least three days a week, if not the entire outfit three days a week.  I definitely love casual and comfortable. How about you?  Any regulars on rotation in your closet?  

I hope your week is terrific!  

As ever, thanks so much for being here! Whitley

True Love at Hong Kong Vintage

Dress: My Grandmother's. Boots: J. Crew (old), here's a pair on sale. Purse: Chanel. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Headband: ZoeLynn & Co. (last seen here with flower). Earrings: old, similar pair. Necklace: Jewelmint. Bracelet: My Great-Grandmother's. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom at Diamond Direct.

If you've been here just a few weeks you likely know my passion for refined vintage garb.  If you live in the Queen City and you share an appreciation for rare and cultivated threads, you owe it to yourself to pay a visit to hong kong vintage on Central Avenue.  Of course, if you also possess the obsessed eye for such aesthetically resplendent threads, you may already know for yourself about the greatness at hong kong vintage.  This store provides the quintessential experience equivalent to that of a kid in a candy store, the getting is so sweet.  When deciding where Donna and I would shoot one of my favorite dresses which belonged to my Grandmother, hong kong vintage just made perfect sense.  Go get some sugar for yourself.

Thanks for being a sweetie and visiting!  

xx-Whitley

PS-Did you notice in the top photo the Tartan Plaid Pendleton that is the dress to my jacket here??!

All You Need Is Love

Shirt: ASOS (on SALE). Long sleeved shirt: Gap, best long sleeve T ever! Jeans: Zara, similar pair. Boots: Charlie 1 Horse, mine are from Constance Consignment. Jacket: Forever 21, also love this one. Purse: Chanel. Belt: old, here's one. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Earrings: Made my a friend. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom by Diamonds Direct. 

At some point I'll have to write a post about my favorite neighborhood spots in the Queen City.  I have my short list, from which I rarely stray, but there's only one Thomas Street Tavern. Back in the day this might as well have been my home away from home.  Totally a fraternity groupie.  If you've been there, you know the cool factor.  Now that I'm a little more settled down and all grown up (right), I don't make it over there as often, but walking through those doors felt like yesterday. If you take a stool at the bar, don't be surprised to be sitting between a truck driver and an investment banker; an actress to your left and a pool shark to your right. Thomas Street Tavern is salt of the earth cool, unpretentious and friendly; the perfect location to don my favorite new T-shirt that makes me insta-happy just wearing it.  All You Need Is Love.

Love ya! xo-Whitley

Skirt Love At The Mint Museum

Skirt: Alyssa Nicole, now on Sale, (last seen here). Blouse: J. Crew (old), similar. Coat: Banana Republic (old), similar. Shoes: Nine West, on major SALE. Purse: Chanel. Earrings: from J.T. Posh. Bracelets: My Great Grandmother's, Stella & Dot. Rings: Tiffany and custom by Diamonds Direct.

By way of super sweet and stylish fellow Queen City blogger, Elspeth, I first laid eyes on this skirt. It was love at first sight, and after I saw the price, I just had to have her.  I've been wearing it all through the fall and winter seasons. I'd go so far as to say this is the perfect year round piece!  Do you have a favorite item that suits all four seasons?

Hope your holiday is merry and bright!

A Christmas Ball!

Skirt: My Grandmother's. Turtleneck: CAbi (old), similar one. Jacket: My Great-Grandmother's. Purse: Chanel, here's one. Boots: J. Crew (old). Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Earrings: from J.T. Posh. Bracelets: My Great-Grandmother's, Grandmother-in-law's, Grandmother's, Stella & Dot. Rings: Tiffany, Diamonds Direct.

I'm not exactly sure where my Grandmother got this skirt, but I know it came from some far off country during her world travels with my Grandfather.  Some of the coolest things she owns she purchased during her travels, and I was always so fascinated by the garments.  You could just tell they were made different from all the rest.  This skirt is no exception.  It has always been one of my favorite inheritance pieces from her; definitely a top pick for my holiday go-to attire. Do you have any favorite holiday pieces?

I hope you and yours have the happiest of holidays and a very Merry Christmas!

Let there be love, let there be light!

Shorts + Arooji's Wine Room

Shirt: Anthropologie (old). Shorts: Piperlime and here's another pair. Turtleneck: CAbi, here's one. Boots: J. Crew. (old) here's a pair. Jacket: Gap.  Purse: Coach. Belt: Target. Tights: J. Crew. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Bee Earrings: Jewelmint. Other Earrings: made by a friend.  Bracelets: My Great-Grandmother's, Grandmother's, Grandmother-in-law's, Stella & Dot. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom at Diamonds Direct.

Donna and I had so much fun shooting over at Arooji's Wine Room.  If you live in the Queen City, head on over to the Shops at Morrison and cozy up to a glass for yourself... Great food, tasty vino, delightful environment and friendly conversation.  Here I go again with this is one of my favorite outfits, but really it is.  I think it totally speaks to my more common "boho" style by day, and it's so much fun to pair shorts, tights and boots!  Do you agree? 

We are all still grieving the heartbreak in Connecticut.  We have to treat one another with love and kindness. I am praying for those families affected, as I know we all are.  Thank you so much for taking time to be here with me.

I hope you are having a loving week!

-Whitley

Vintage Tartan Plaid

7

Coat: Pendleton, LOVE this one and this one. Jeans: Zara, Boots: Charlie 1 Horse, Turtleneck: CAbi, here's one. Purse: Coach, Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Belt: old, love this one and this one. Earrings: old. Bracelets: My Great-Grandmother's, Grandmother's, Grandmother-in-law's, Stella & Dot. Rings: Tiffany, custom at Diamonds Direct.

Have you noticed that Tartan Plaid is everywhere?  You probably know I'm more into going against the grain than following the trends, but thanks to my favorite winter coat, my Grandmother's Pendleton classic, I'll be wearing Tartan Plaid year after year for the rest of my life. I'm not kidding, however, when I tell you this is the most well-made coat I have ever owned.  I've had the coat probably 12 years, and it must be at least 30 years old.  My mother could probably speak better to that, but at any rate, it is the perfect coat... The lining is impeccable, the weight and length are just right, and the fabric is flawless.  Plaid perfection!  I was not able to find a Tartan Plaid Pendleton, but here's a solid Pendleton classic in red and one in black, and my top picks for current Tartan Plaid coats are here and here.  Thanks for reading!

Happy Top 'o the week to ya!

PS-What do y'all think of my awesome new partner in photographic crime??  Donna is absolutely blowing my mind; I can't even stand it!  Yippee!!

Linking up with Real Girl Glam for some Real Girl Style.  Go check out all the lovely ladies!

This Skirt + Introducing Photography By Donna Jernigan

ASOS Trumpet hem skirt, Great-Grandmother's jacket, CAbi turtleneck, Michael Kors purse from J.T. Posh, the Queen City Style, Tory Burch pumps from summerbird, Blinde Sunglasses

Skirt: ASOS. Jacket: My Great-Grandmother's, sure would love this one! Turtleneck: CAbi, here's one. Purse: Michael Kors, similar, from JT Posh. Shoes: Tory Burch, similar pair, from summerbird. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Earrings: (old), similar pair. Bracelets: My Great-Grandmother's, Grandmother's and Grandmother-in-law's, Stella & Dot. Rings: My Grandmother's, Tiffany, custom by Diamonds Direct.

I had my eye on this skirt for quite some time until I couldn't turn my back any longer.  Do you ever get that feeling?  You see something, you love it so much, you walk away, but it doesn't escape your mind?  My rule of thumb is if you want something so badly, and you can afford to pay for it in cash, that is when you don't say no. The affordability of the skirt did not hurt, and for the record, ASOS is my favorite on-line retailer.  Additionally, I could not be more excited about my new collaboration with Donna Jernigan of Donna Jernigan Photography, Inc. and Moments by Donna. I am so totally marveled by her work... the saturation of the colors and the crispness of the photos. Not to mention, Donna is such a joy and a pleasure.  My ride with the Queen City Style thus far has sent my soul to great heights, and the opportunity to work with Donna sets me soaring. So excited and so, so grateful. 

As ever, so grateful for you too... Whitley
