I am loving every single thing about this collection; it's glitzy, sexy, and so perfectly styled.

So glad that Nasty Gal started their own line of clothing!

:: FNO @ BELK ::

 

Last night Belk brought FNO to Charlotte! For those who don't know, Belk is based in Charlotte, NC with over 300 stores located in 16 southern states. Belk carries amazing brands like Free People, BCBG MAXAZRIA, Marc Jacobs, and Michael Kors. It was a night of fashion and fun eats straight from Magnolia Bakery in NYC, candy from Dylan’s Candy Bar, and a sample size Frrrozen Hot Chocolate from Serendipity 3 (which was absolutely AMAZING).

 

 

 QC Exclusive Fashion Editor, Erica Hanks presented very stylish Fall 2012 looks that any woman could easily wear! There are four trends that Belk has deemed fashionable for Fall 2012.

 

Mod Modern: Add a modern touch to a classic "mod" style shift or sheath dress

this fall by choosing different prints & patterns, and finalizing

the look with statement jewelry.

 

My Fair Lady: This is definitely the look of charm and class! A classic top with a

subtle printed pencil skirt and a dash of fur will make your look a hit this fall.

 

Town & Country: This is a look that is great for a day out. A nice blouse paired with a

faux fur vest, a great pair of denim jeans (and there are sooo many choices

for denim this fall), a great handbag, and a wine colored lip and you're all set!

 

Vivid: There's no doubt about it, color will tread it's way into fall. I'd stay shy of

neon colors and go for more muted/deeper hues.

 

Here are a few pics from the style presentation.

 

 

I really enjoyed myself and can not wait for the next event hosted by Belk!
