The beginning of every new year starts with what I think is really as exciting as fashion week for designers, the entertainment award ceremonies. By the first couple of months into the new year we will see a plethora of glamorous gowns, astonishing jewels, mile high stilettos and the most...

Being the jewelry buyer of an upscale boutique here in Charlotte, NC for the last eight years, I traveled to the Big Apple three times a year for market. One of my guilty pleasures was shopping at H&M. A store that brought you fresh and innovative trends at extremely reasonable prices....

Target Scores Once Again
posted by Styled Now!
After months of anticipation, the limited-edition collaboration between Target and Joseph Altuzarra launched Sunday September 14th. In Charlotte , the collection was only available in two stores. What I didn’t know was that Target started their new store hours at 7am instead of their typical 8am. As I approached the parking deck anticipating the lines outside the double wide sliding doors, I noticed people walking out with bags. Slightly panicked, I parked and started sprinting to the front, only to remember that I placed my order online at 3am. Thanks to a combination of IPad and IPhone , and Target and Net-A-Porter, I quickly made...
Summer Boho Jewelry
posted by Styled Now!
Summer in the South can only mean one thing: HOT! Days are steamy, humidity high and the thermometer easily over 90 degrees, which means for me, easy casual dressing. I spend most of my days in shorts and tees or loose cool dresses. It also means I love piling on great jewelry pieces. It’s a time when clothes are boring and jewelry are statements. Nothing better can reflect my style than these wonderful pieces I found at market this past February. They are bold, they are turquoise and they make me happy. Summertime is the perfect time to make bold and powerful statements with your jewelry. Wether you wear layering necklaces or a bunch...
Spring 2014 Trend: Pastel Colors
posted by Styled Now!
I’m not really sure what has gotten into me this year. I adore and am a hardcore Fall wardrobe girl . I love my dark colors and rich textures and fabrics that go hand in hand with the cooler weather coming in. However, I’m kind of totally obsessed with how feminine fashion’s Spring looks are this year. From the tea-length dresses and skirts to the soft, almost dreamy pastel color palettes that have hit the runways and the stores. Here’s a quick glimpse of my favorite looks and see if any of them inspire you NOW! This slideshow requires JavaScript. TweetPrintMoreShare on...
Five New Relaxed Jeans for Summer
posted by Styled Now!
If you are anything like me, and have been shopping for jeans in the last five years, you know how hard it was to find anything but a skinny jean. From peg legged to skinny cropped to extreme skinny, all available in a several different denim washes, the skinny jean was all you can find out there. This summer we see the emergence of a new silhouette, not much different than its cousin the “Boyfriend Jean”, the relaxed jean is making it way into the fashion world. This loosened up denim is perfect for the warmer months. It’s easy to wear with flats or heels and with a slouchy or structured top. It still gives you a polished...

Consignment Shopping: My Guilty Pleasure
posted by Styled Now!
Earlier this week I visited two of my favorite boutiques in town, J.T. Posh and Summerbird. I wanted to find some interesting pieces that I was not going to see anywhere else, and I knew I wanted pieces that I could wear forever. Both located in the Dilworth Neighborhood, amongst a sea of retail establishments, these two boutiques stand out for me as the best in Consignment. The first store I visited was Summerbird, owned by Cindy Siesel. Housing an array of clothes that are equally fashionable and classic, yet distinct in style, Summerbird caters to women of all ages, from all walks of life. What I love most about Summerbird is that...
