"Fashion Gives"

Last night I attended the "Fashion Gives" event at the swanky Bin 33 here in downtown Greensboro. We were there to celebrate the lovely YC of The YCB Agency and Bougie Girl's World's birthday, while also remembering that Fashion Gives. In lieu of gifts, YC asked that we donate to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC.

Swag bag!

Champers and arm swag! 

Our beautiful host, YC of The YCB Agency and Bougie Girl's World. 

Happy Birthday YC!!

For a self-proclaimed model and fashionista, every event is a prospective CATwalk, so I decided to break out my leopard print shorts. 

What do you think?

OOTD: Hopscotch

Yesterday I had a meeting with our Executive Editor for Carolina STYLE Magazine and Hopscotch Music Festival Director, Greg Lowenhaagen. I will be covering the musical event for our upcoming print issue!

Hopscotch is a 3 day music festival that takes place downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. As with every year, the lineup, comprised of local and national talent, is enough to get any music lover excited. I'm especially looking forward to seeing The Roots perform again, as well as rapper Danny Brown out of Detroit, Michigan, and bands like My Best Fiend out of Brooklyn, New York. 

The festival's name resonates with fun and playfulness so I wanted my outfit to reflect that. Here's what I wore...

Skirt, Lazy Oaf
Shirt, H&M
Shoes, COACH
Purse, COACH
Sunglasses, Gucci

OOTD: Gate City Gurl!

So between my birthday, assignments for Carolina STYLE Magazine, and our recent relocation due my husband's promotion, it's been a busy couple of weeks. 
I was finally able to get away from the boxes and bubble wrap, and head downtown. Here's what I wore as I discovered my new home, the Gate City.

Dress, BikBok
Purse, MARC by Marc Jacobs
Shoes, Converse
Sunglasses, Betsey Johnson
