Meet Harriet And Ninja

Pin It

I am so excited.  Like I can't even begin to tell you for one milisecond how excited I am to introduce you to Harriet May.  Harriet is a running friend who answered my somewhat desperate sounding call for childcare over Facebook this past fall.  Things have been progressing in a great way here at the Queen City Style and with my wardrobe styling.  The word thrilled could serve as a launching pad for how I feel about it all. One mind is only good for so much, however, and having Harriet's to bounce ideas off of; or quite frankly right out take the reigns of is like the sound of total silence to my ears, glass of fine chilled wine in my hand accompanied by fiercly delicious cheese on my plate all while my aching feet soak in an ice bath and getting a hurt so good knuckle massage all in my scapula. 

I hope you have a great day!

One Year, One Month And Four Days

Pin It

As the saying goes, time flies when you're having fun!  It's been one year, one month and four days since my first photo shoot with amazing Donna.  Having Donna as my photograher and friend is a dream and a gift.  We can't wait to bring you more outfit photoes in 2014!

Happy New Year of Outfits!

No Pants Light Rail Ride

Pin It

Last year was the inaugural year for the Charlotte No Pants Light Rail Ride.  If you missed it but heard about it later, hysterical.  The No Pants Subway Ride is an annual global event started by Improv Everywhere in New York City in 2002, and it has since grown to an international phenomenon.  Charlotte, however, is the ONLY city whose thigh baring event benefits a charitable cause.  Last year 200 articles of clothing were collected for Warm Charlotte.  So, come on out to the Scaleybark station this Saturday, January 11th at 3pm, drop your pants for some philanthropic light hearted fun and join the ride! See all the details here on the #CLTnoPants Facebook page. 

Hope to see you there!

Look And Feel Your Best In The New Year

Pin It

Happy New Year Y'all!  Have you made any resolutions for 2014?  I always strive to be the best version of me I can be, but for the immediate I'm thinking about giving up alcohol for Lent. THINKING.  I've done this twice before, but neither of those times did I have children.  I really enjoy an adult beverage at the end of the day.  Some of you may know I have plans to run the Boston Marathon which is Easter Monday. In anticipation of this, I really want to get serious with my training and overall good health.  I know eliminating alcohol from my diet would help with hydration, among other things.  Giving up wine will not be an easy task for me, but saying it out loud, and now, writing it down for others to see, seems to somewhat commit me further.  Oh boy. In the meantime, check out my article on page 22 in this month's Charlotte Parent Magazine where I'm sharing my short list of recommendations for feeling and looking your best.

As ever, thank you for being here.  I hope you have a fantastic first week to this new year!

Lots of love and hugs, Whitley

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?

Pin It

I came across this local version of the popular song "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" via a photographer friend's page, and it is just too cute not to share.  Doesn't it make you want to fall in love all over again?  Such a sweet sweet tune for you all to enjoy...

Happy almost New Year everyone!

Styling Merritt Hunt

Pin It

I recently had a blast styling blond gamazon Merrit Hunt at the Heels.com office atop the Nascar Hall of Fame building in uptown Charlotte. Working alongside Daytona Beach, Florida based photograher, Kristia Knowles and Charlotte photographer Doug Brooks, this particular weekend was one of creative collaboration and fun for all.  Thanks to one of my tres hip clients, I walked on set with some pretty fantastic 80's-inspired garb for one of our two days of shooting. I look forward to sharing more.  Any other Material Girls out there?
