Kick-off to Charlotte Style Week

Today is such an exciting day for Charlotte’s fashion community because it marks the kick-off of Charlotte Style Week. In a matter of hours, I will be attending the first event of this fashionable week of celebration at Bluprint Restaurant. Oh and did I mention I’m also hosting it? Tonight’s event, “Cocktails and Conversations,” produced by the Red Pump Project of Charlotte and JSW Media, will give attendees the opportunity to step out in style. Ladies, grab your red stilettos and gents, bring out your red ties and come and enjoy the drink specials, appetizers and lots of giveaways tonight at 7 p.m. Bluprint Restaurant is located at 227 W. Trade St., Suite 100.

Want to get all dolled up to show off your personal style even more? Come out to Charlotte Style Magazine‘s 3rd Annual 25 Most Stylish event on Saturday. Last year, I personally shared the cover with four other very fashionable individuals and was honored to be in the top 5, so this year, I am more than a little interested in seeing who has been nominated. Red carpet begins at 6:30pm at Mercedes Benz of South Charlotte on North Polk Street and is sure to bring out all of the Q.C.’s most fashion-obsessed women and men. Will you be there?
