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?

Outfit, Forever21
Shoes, Steve Madden
Purse, Marc by Marc Jacobs

Hat-Cessory

Remember when I told you here that hats are the most essential accessory for summer 2012?
Whether you're hiding from the harmful UV rays that are beaming down, or the flashes of the paparazzi's cameras, this summer you need to hat-cessorize!


These pictures are from a photo shoot I did in Amsterdam back in February 2010 with the amazing and talented photographer based out of Istanbul, Dilara Gürcü. You can see more of her work here.

Here's how the celebs are doing it:

Ashley Tisdale,  Diane Kruger, Katie Holmes, Bethenny Frankel
