Spring wedding- who, what, wear.

Posted on 23:03 by kumar
One of my very best friends got married. Not only is she absolutely flawless on the inside and out, I know she was put in my life for a reason. Ok wait, now I'm tearing up...but seriously, Jessica McNeall ALLEN, you are one of the most genuine, kind hearted, loving, and courageous souls I know. Not to mention one of the most fashionably all around put together people I've come across- and always at a reasonable price! That being said, finding the perfect outfit for such a beautiful wedding was a struggle, but thank again to Lori Wyatt's phenomenal vintage collection I danced the night away in a one-of-a-kind vintage Oleg Cassini dress.  
Luckily my date was the other part of the trio- the beautiful Elise! She really stepped it up a notch in this dainty fairy-like free people dress.  It seems like free people is made for her body. 
 We didn't want to override the beautiful brides lace dress, so we decorated Elise's natural curls with a gold head chain and snakeskin Jeffrey Campbell litas. When picking the perfect wedding outfit, keep in mind the weather, pick shoes made for dancing (which I would always preach my Jeffrey Campbell's do JUST that), and remember...dance the night away.
Thankfully Michael was able to capture these priceless moments of watching a true princess get married to her prince...all while remaining dashingly fashionable!  
 One of my absolute favorite outfits on Michael, and marvelous for a spring wedding in Wilmington, NC.  With black and white houndstooth trousers, suspenders that demand attention, and a maroon bowtie to top it off, it is no wonder why "attention to detail" is keyyyy in male's fashion.  Michael brings in his brown oxfords and complements them with the brown leather of his suspenders. Stripes, checkers, and color are what really sets his outfit apart. Ditch your ties boys, if you haven't noticed- it's time for a bowtie! (or a skinny tie :)) 
 It's safe to say Michael exceeded all expectations with these unbelievable photos of such an effortlessly breathtaking bride.  An absolute genius behind the lens.  She looks like the goddess of love and all things pure.
speechless...


I wish you both more happiness than you can fathom. So happy I get to witness true love blossom between a princess and her prince.  Thanks to you two for sharing your special day with Michael, Elise and I; we truly had a blast.

-Courtney

Posted on 20:42 by kumar

Meet the team. With the help of Sarah Schultz (left) and Leanna Marshall (right), we are proud to be hosting our first fashion show as Fresh & Precious. Tomorrow night we will be raising the energy at Sputnik night club in downtown Wilmington with proceeds going to Indo Jax Surf School. Honestly, the venue has exceeded our expectations- the perfect fit for our vision.  Pravda (next door) will be hosting a Fresh & Precious Fashion Show after party with music from tmare- come rage!
 

We are so excited to showcase what we've been working on and who we've been working with. Expect splashes of color and patterns dripped with one of a kind jewelry. I could honestly gush about the collections and work of these designers involved for hours but you will just have to come check it all out tomorrow night!

men's fashion: no longer a dying breed

Posted on 13:34 by kumar
Alex is precious in every way, especially his style. Although I haven't been able to capture his unique aesthetic YET, I am certain there will be photo shoots in the near future. Alex has an Andy Warhol feel- as his instagram so rightfully deems Alex as a "lover of nostalgia, Warhol, & simplicity." Couldn't have said it better myself. ANYWAY today we have a little bit for the guys. Guys are always left behind in the fashion department but lemme tell you....we're working on it gents. I assure you. 

Color!!!! Still loving us some color at Fresh and Precious. Pinks and teals scream good 'ole colorful fun and this vintage Wrangler button down is a fantastic linear display of these fresh colors. Love the western style and color combo. 
Mustaches are hip. Graphic tees are hip. Vintage wear is hip. And this shirt is for sale. (and super affordable...like 15 bucks affordable.) Love this kitschy tee. 
70's prints are very distinct. This printed button up displays this great 70s print and is super light and comfortable to wear. 
This guy is another example of wonderful vintage western. The details on the pocket give this piece a unique shape. Love the gold pinstripe with shiny black snaps. SUCH a great piece for men. You'll see this guy in our fashion show. 
This Clockwork Orange vintage tee shirt is super soft and wonderful to wear. I've had this guy since high school and I found it at a yard sale in Raleigh. I think this shirt goes great with this AWESOME vintage denim vest from Guess. Of course from the Lori Wyatt Vintage Collection, this piece is one of a kind. This kind of denim you can't get anywhere...especially with this leather detail on the front. LOVE THIS PIECE. 

Start adding some unique pieces to your wardrobe boys. We know there isn't always a lot to choose from but once you start adding one-of-a-kinds...people will start to notice. 

Like what you see? Hollatchaboi. 

Because we're obsessed.

Spring Fashion Trends: vintage citrus dresses & wedges

Posted on 08:23 by kumar

c- A dress is one of the easiest, yet swiftest way to put a spring look together.  Let your favorite color do all the work. Legs go bare and add some wedges for fun.  These citrus inspired dresses from Lori Wyatt's vintage collection had us feeling soooo Jackie O on this beautiful day. 
 
Michael's vintage Lacoste sweater teamed well with the citrus vibe of our spring dresses.  
Sister, sister. 
Alike but completely different.
I'm always ecstatic when Lindsay has some extra time to play dress up and allows us to showcase her natural beauty through amazing clothing.  Colored belts and vintage earrings have been great staples to pair with all of Lori's amazing dresses.
The dresses. If you want them, let us know!

Gotta run!

Keep it classy.

Because we're obsessed.
