Style Stop: Last-Minute NYE Looks

On this week's installment of "Style Stop" on WWAY's "Good Morning Carolina," we discussed some last-minute looks for New Year's Eve. If you waited until today to get your outfit together, here are some ways to upgrade your look from casual to party chic!

Lydia
Everyone on set wanted to steal this gorgeous ark & co dress! I absolutely LOVED the bow detailing on the back! The dress, along with the stunning statement necklace and fur shrug (shown in the video), were all from Lula Balou in Wilmington.

Tal
I'm really huge on mixing patterns so it was fun to do this with Tal. The windowpane Peter Millar sport coat and flower-print tie played well with the striped Eton shirt and brown color-trimmed pocket square. With the exception of Tal's dark-wash denim, all of these awesome pieces are from Gentleman's Corner in Wilmington. 

Myself
I kept my look casual but fun with a Jewel-Collar Denim Shirt, Bead Dot Sweater and dark-wash jeans, all from Talbots at Oleander Drive in Wilmington.

Wyoma Road Opening

A local boutique in town officially opened its second location in Wilmington today. 

Wyoma Road, a resort wear boutique owned by Gail Killman, is sharing space at Camille's of Wilmington - a bridal and formal wear shop. The shop also has merchandise at Blue Moon Gift Shops. The pairing with Camille's, however, makes plenty of sense because a bride shopping in Camille's may want to shop for attire for her honeymoon, too! 

I'm a big fan of the store and its abundance of jersey wrap dresses that seem to flatter every shape under the sun. The chevron dress is one of my favorites!

 The other merchandise reminds me of warm, sunny days on the coast - something we're still experiencing here in Wilmington, despite the fact it's the dead of winter! Many of the garments are thin enough to layer for transitional wear, and ideal for those who are planning a vacay in the near future.

Cute tops!

And peep these adorable shorts!

Tons of trendy jewelry for the spring!

To check out the store, visit Wyoma Road at Camille's at 7134 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28411.

LUX Dress Showcased at Holiday Fashion Show

I was invited to present a garment from my consignment store LUX at the TMW Modeling and Productions Holiday Fashion Show last night! Looks like the dress was a big hit! Model Lynne Jones sported the dress and it looked amazing! 

The dress - a hooded, sequined number by ISSUU - was sold that evening!

BTS: Models and Marinas

I partnered with Sean Carr Photography, silverceiling makeup, Camille's of Wilmington, Joanne Miranda Designs and The Sailfish at Scotts Hill Marina to pull together a cool advertising shoot! This project was one of my favorites because I actually had a chance to partner with Joanne Miranda Designs to create some pretty beautiful bridal accessories featured on model Britani Storey.

Take a peek at the behind the scenes video (courtesy of The Good Life Film Co.) and a few of my favorite images.

New Online Consignment Shop!

I recently launched an online consignment store called LUX (Lenore's Upscale Xchange). The name "Lenore" is based off of my middle name.  I'm a huge fan of consignment stores and wanted to make beautiful garments obtainable with affordable pricing. I'm off to a small start, but hope to expand to more clothing and sizes soon!

So take a moment to check out the new store at www.ConsignedLux.com!
