Vivienne Westwood sent these words, along with this dress, to Carrie Bradshaw for her ill fated wedding to Big in the first Sex And The City movie.
We all remember this incredible creation.
However, this wasn’t the only time Carrie wore Westwood.
Vivienne was mad for plaid.
Carrie was the perfect Muse for her plaid pieces.
Getting drunk at Vogue wearing Westwood is every girls dream!
Girly looks were also part of Carrie’s closet.
Carrie recently pulled out her infamous wedding dress to wear to the Met Gala during an episode of And Just Like That. She added a teal cape, gloves and shoes.
The bird head piece made a reappearance. But the most notable accessory was a pin cushion as a bracelet.
She repurposed her pain.
This was my all time favorite outfit.
The skirt is a green velvet bustle skirt from Vivienne Westwood’s Fall/Winter ’91 collection.
I’ve recently been getting inspiration from these pieces.
And just like that, I’ve entered my Vivienne Westwood Era.
This week was the launch of LoveShackFancy X Pink!
I went into the store to check it out.
There’s romantic ruffled mini dresses, skirts, hats and bags.
My favorite is the Jacket with classic LoveShackFancy bows printed all over it.
There’s the cutest leisure wear you’ve ever seen.
It wouldn’t be PINK without a set of floral panties with lace and little rosettes with cheeky sayings like “truly in love with myself” and “a little bit dramatic” embroidered on the front.
Let’s not forget the stuffed dog!
This is such a girly collab! What item are you wanting most from this collection???
On June 26th, after 37 years, Anna Wintour announced she is stepping down as editor-in-chief of Vogue.
Anna’s first Vogue cover
The British-American fashion icon began her career as an editorial assistant at London’s Harpers & Queen magazine. She worked her way up, landing editorial roles at Harper’s Bazaar and Viva in the 70’s.
As editor of Vogue, she has held the role for longer than any of her predecessors.
Wintour transformed Vogue into a powerhouse among fashion magazines.
She was the first editor to mix affordable fashion with designer clothes in photoshoots.
Wintour took over the Met Gala in 1995, transforming it from a local fundraiser into a highly anticipated, fashion event.
“Florals?? For Spring?? Groundbreaking…”
Yes, Wintour was the inspiration for Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada.
Here are some of my favorite Wintour fashion moments.
I adore her early looks!
Three things have remained consistent through the years. The Bob, sunglasses in the front row, and style!
So does this mean she’s given up fashion forever??
No way. She will remain as the magazine’s global editorial director as well as the company’s chief content officer.
Last weekend I had the honor of meeting and interviewing Southern Charm star Craig Conover.
He was at Belk in Southpark Mall to launch his new collab.
His brand Sewing Down South and Belk’s in house brand Crown & Ivy recently partnered up to bring us all things southern.
From clothing to home decor, Craig left his mark on them all.
Based in Charleston, his designs are full of pineapples, beach themes and nautical flares.
How did a personal injury lawyer become a designer?
Craig told his story from moving to Charleston for college to getting cast in the realty show Southern Charm.
He channels his excessive energy into creativity.
Starting with pillows, he has now expanded to an entire collection in his flagship store on King Street and location in Nashville.
When he’s not filming or sewing, Craig enjoys farming, and recently has took up beekeeping.
This super busy young man always makes time for his precious mama.
I asked him “Have you noticed a trend of other parts of the country adopting our style and decor as a way of finding a calmer more peaceful lifestyle.”
He responded “Yeah, I think that’s, like I’m going to steal that from you. Our brand is Coastal Chic. It’s just based on places I’ve lived and spent time in. I grew up on the Eastern shore of Delaware, then moved to Charleston and spent time in the Bahamas so you know what I’ve been trying to do is develop items for the rest of the country that might not fit that style but it doesn’t matter, anywhere we go in the country, someone has our stuff and they all love this line.
He went on to add “I think maybe it’s exactly like you said. It’s just, even if you don’t live in the beach with kind of that coastal relaxed style, I think the colors always bring people peace. When I was in New York, there was not alot of color. But down South, there is.”
He finished up by telling me “We are trending. The colors of the year are all comfort colors. Cozy earth tones. What used to be seen as a lazy color is now sophisticated and calming. So the calming, earth tones are in.”
He told me “I love the colors and I always will. I have started seeing it in other places. I’m always surprised that people decorate with some of our original patterns around the country and I think it’s the same with our clothes.”
Craig is such a charmer! And I appreciate him taking time to talk to me about his brand.
One of his most well known lines from the show is “What’s wrong with my sewing?”
Nina’s Boutique has given some EPIC themed events. I was excited to attend this one because I had a pair of boots I’ve been saving for just the right occasion.
The rest of the outfit fell into place and off I went.
“Coastal Cowgirl” is a fashion and lifestyle trend that blends the ruggedness of Western cowboy style with the relaxed, breezy elements of coastal living.
Patterns and prints mix well with denim and turquoise.
Did someone say accessories??
How fun are these cherry red boots?
Of course there were cowgirl hats!
Bags and jewelry complete the look.
Nina’s Boutique also has the best food and drinks!
