NCFA Style Week Night 2

The night is young and I headed to Style Week Night 2 at the Le Meridien Hotel.  I wore this White Deep V neck Romper from Forever 21 and a custom tailored jacket by Manigance that I found in Las Vegas.

The second night of Style Week was headlined by fashion designer, actor Stevie Boi. Who is also the founder and designer of luxury eye wear brand SBS shades. SBS Shades have been worn by celebrities from Lady Gaga, and Beyonce to Madonna. He showcased his new collection entitled CABIN. 

Night 2 also showcased local Charlotte designers; Fashion & Compassion, Aubrey Busek, Mack Couture, Koko Nanga,  2twentyceven, and Priya Saluja.

All of their collections were vibrant, chic, sexy, and beautifully crafted! Check them out by clicking their links above.

Special thank you to Tasha McClarrin and Tempestt Sunshine Harris from Level 21 Magazine and Lorri Ashley and Brandon Winston from Prosocialite.

 

Finding Fashion in The Carolina Fish Market (Oh Yes We Did!)

Just because it’s a tee doesn’t mean you have to wear it like one. I’m always finding new ways to shake things up with casual style.

Charlotte Fashion Plate is always finding creative ways to bring food and fashion together while supporting local business. For two years, I have made The Carolina Fish Market my home for seafood, beef, fish, and local grown produce and eggs. This is my passion. ‪#‎supportlocal‬ ‪#‎buylocal‬ ‪#‎freshfood‬ ‪#‎wholefoods‬

What I’m Wearing: Carolina Fish Market tee paired with black leggings and Stuart Weitzman wedge booties with a black leather jacket by Trouvé. Necklace by Stella & Dot courtesy of Peyton Maynard

NCFA Style Week Night 1

North Carolina Fashion Association kicked off Style Week with a blast.  The theme for the first night was emerging fashion designers.  NCFA Style Week is a once annual, week long, fashion event. This year Style Week was held at Le Meridien Hotel in Uptown Charlotte.

I wore this gorgeous Nicholas gown.  It was a tea-length ponte ball gown, sleeveless with a deep v-neck that fit me like a glove. I was lucky enough to sit front row VIP all three nights and witness the magic!

 The “Emerging Artist” theme, showcased work from The Art Institute Of Charlotte, and upcoming and local designers;  Starr Sutton, Terrence Henderson,  and Tygerian Lace.  It was a fabulous collection of creative, sexy, vibrant gowns.

I met this lovely lady, Dania Alshafei from the blog Always Two Fabulous. Always Two Fabulous is another Charlotte based blog created by Dania and her sister Aya. They have gorgeous visuals on their blog and Instagram accounts, check them out.

The show was produced by Spectrum Creative Group , Erica Arcilesi and  Logan Curtis put together a really outstanding show.
