Well, it’s on stands now…the May issue features Angie Hranowsky as a New Tastemaker!  Check out some of her work on her website.   Her style is standout, bold, creative and chic!!!

What is she wearing? Her own charcoal grey tank top layered under a Vince tank sweater by Vince.  We pulled this from local shop Finicky Filly.  Alice & Olivia Arthur pant and Cynthia Rowley heels, we also pulled from our local Cynthia Rowley store! The jewelry is her own and the bangle is vintage from my grandmother’s costume jewelry.

Hampden Clothing Hosts Dinner Party and Trunk Show for Design-duo, NAHM

February 24th, 2012

Hampden Clothing is always pulling together some sort of fabulous event, so I was excited when I got an invitation for a dinner party they were hosting for the design-duo of NAHM, Nary Manivong & Ally Hilfiger.  It was such a fun atmosphere and crowd…Jackie Thomson of Leapfrog PR, Jessica Mischner & Caroline Durant of Garden & Gun, artist Sally King Benedict, Caroline Nutall of CHARLIE , Lindsey Carter of Troubadour, and Megan Chandler of Charleston Tuxedo were a couple of lovelies there…just to name a few.  The Hampden gals had pre-set the seating arrangements and we were greeted to our seats by a personal note from Nary & Ally, along with a copy of their lookbook.  The seating was a blast and I got to learn more about Erin & Haley of Hampden and also Natalie Wooten of SEWE.  Dinner was served by Caviar & Bananas and then it was time to shop the collection over champy & cupcakes from Sugar Bakeshop!  I have my eye on a couple of NAHM pieces – this one below was my favorite.  Ally, shared my love for vintage and clued me in that the print of this dress was inspired by a vintage scarf!  Loved hearing that!  Their design concept is reinventing the shirt dress in creative ways & they do it beautifully!

Southern Living Styling

February 24th, 2012

I was honored when asked to style an upcoming Southern Living spread featuring, the talented, fun loving, doesn’t know how cool she is – Angie Hranowsky. If you don’t know Angie, well how do I say this?  You need to read up!

You’ll find rooms filled with vintage furniture she has sourced surrounded by bright colors (she loves color), chic animal prints, drop dead lamps, and window treatments that you can’t even imagine.  Sooooo, how do you begin to style someone with so much style? It was a blast working with Angie, getting her into her element and out of it a little bit too (I actually got her in a dress) I was determined to do it!  Angie rocks anything she puts on, so she made me look good!

Thanks to the local Charleston businesses who were so willing to let us pull merchandise from their stores.  Bob Ellis Shoes, Cynthia Rowley, Finicky Filly and Hampden Clothing!

Stay tuned for the article in print!  We will let you know when it’s out!
