September on INSTAGRAM

I can't believe how quickly September flew by! Between music festivals, and of course, all the fashion weeks, it's certainly been a whirlwind. Oh, and somewhere in there, we also said hasta luego to Summer and bienvenido to Fall. 

Here are some of my favorites from this month on Instagram. Make sure to follow me @dejafashion to see more!

Which one is your favorite?

OOTD: Summer Lovin'

I'm a July baby, and from a beach town, so I HEART EVERYTHING about SUMMER! Needless to say, with Fall right around the corner, I'm getting in as much Summer Lovin' as possible! Thankfully, here in the South, we get a bit of an extended Summer. With the temperatures back up at 90 degrees, I decided it would be a perfect day to wear some of my Summer favorites that I won't be able to wear in the weeks ahead. 

While I'm usually into healthy eating, tonight my husband and I headed to Dame's Chicken and Waffles for a pre-opening tasting event that we were invited to. When free food is involved, I'm your girl! This is what I wore:

OOTD: Fashion Show

Last night I attended a fashion show at Motorco Music Hall in downtown Durham. Presented by dtownMARKET, the "reFASHIONED" show was a platform for local fashion and graphic designers to showcase their talent. I was there to cover the event for Carolina STYLE Magazine, and wanted to represent in style. Here's what I wore. What do you think?

OOTD: Interview with a make-up artist!

So today I have my first interview for an article that I will be writing for Carolina STYLE Magazine!!! I am responsible for writing the make-up artist feature for July, and have the honor of spending my Monday with Charlene Kongolo, whose work you can see here . Being that this is my first official assignment for the magazine, I have a whirlwind of thoughts and feelings going through my head. Thankfully I put my outfit together last night, relieving some of the pressure from today!

OOTD: Job Interview

Last week I went to a job interview with Carolina Style Magazine, read about them more here and here. While they have been in circulation since 2008, they are growing at an impressive rate and it would be an honor, pleasure, and dream to be a part of the first major style magazine to come out of the Carolinas. 
I wanted my outfit to look smart, stylish, and unique. The thing about going to a job interview for a position in the fashion industry is that your outfit matters perhaps more than with any other type of job interview. 
I'm happy with what I came up with, and am hoping to hear some good news soon! Please keep your fingers crossed for me! x x
