Hi Everyone!  Since inception the Queen City Style has increasingly been the most fun little place in my world, and it has been one of the most gratifying channels for me to connect with others. the Queen City Style is what it is as a result of collaborations with amazing local businesses, designers and individuals in the Charlotte community as well as some great talent outside of Charlotte.  It brings me joy beyond measure to be able to bridge my love of great style with these entreprenuers and in turn share it all with you in my own fun way.  That said, it's Charlotte Magazine voting time again!  Today I am asking if you love the Queen City Style as much as I do, would you consider voting HERE in the category of Local Shopping/Style Blog?  Thank you a bushel and a peck!

I think I love you!

Styling Sarah Cousins

Pin It

I loved styling the fresh faced Sarah Cousins for this photo shoot on location at heels.com. Photographers Kristia Knowles and Doug Brooks took the helm with Deme Fourtounis styling makeup and hair.  How about that beaded number one of my clients passed on to me just prior to the shoot?  Eighties glam at it's finest paired perfectly with the decor.

Along Came Polly

Pin It

A few pictures here from my visit to Chapel Hill last year for a little photoshoot fun with my dear friend Roy Rice.  Yes they are chaps, no the gun was not loaded, no animals were harmed in my lifetime for the sake of this photo shoot, and yes a woman on her cell phone walked by and told the person on the other end (in a very terrified manner), "there are people very close to me holding a gun!"  Oh, and just in case you did not know the King of the Wild Frontier, David "Davy" Crockett's wife's name, it was Polly.  Polly wasn't the first woman Davy proposed marriage to, but against her parent's better wishes, Polly is the one he married.  If you've got great passion for The Old North State, I know you will love Roy's photographic interpretations of gorgeous scenery, local folk and, of course, magical places all around the UNC campus. Like Roy's facebook page to keep up with his candid, ungoverned emotion for what his eyes and heart see through the lens of a camera.

Thanks so much for being here, Whitley

Two Current Obessions

Check them out here.  I'm off to Richmond, Virginia for a half marathon.  Weather looks chilly, but not rainy!  Wish me luck, and Precious Peanut #1 at his soccer game since sadly, I will be missing it. I am, however, looking forward to a fun weekend with a long time family friend and an awesome newbie as well!

Happy Weekend Y'all!
