Trunk Show: Bellanca Boutique

It's not very often that we get a high end trunk show in Fayetteville. So imagine my excitement when I heard that the Virginia-based Bellanca Boutique was hosting a show at the Huske Hardware House in downtown Fayetteville.

The owner Regina C. White is a Fayetteville native and an accessories designer in her own right. Aside from offering her own earthy jewelry and handbags, White's chic boutique also sells garments and fun avant-garde accessories by the likes of designer Jenine Cotrice Addison ("Project Accessory").

I was a sucker for White's awesome speckled feather earrings! I had no choice but to buy them!

Best of all, White doesn't replicate her designs, so you're always getting a one-of-a-kind piece.

Be sure to check out her online boutique at BellancaBoutique.com. I know I will!

Tootles!

If I were a boy. . . I'd wear a cravat

One of my stylish guy pals told me about this awesome neckwear brand called Distinguished Cravat that's based out of Charlotte. 

What's a cravat, you ask? It's a neckband and the forerunner of the modern tailored necktie and bow tie. 

Fellas - and ladies, who plan to purchase a stylish gift for your man - take note. The Distinguished Cravats are effortlessly dapper and can upgrade any man's wardrobe.  According to the website, designer Kate Ross believes that "As the world evolves, Distinguished Cravat will continue to build the esteems of ordinary people, making an extraordinary difference, one Cravat at a time."

Be sure to keep an eye on this brand and check out the website, DistinguishedCravat.com.

Impressive detail.
