Something can be said about cavorting in vintage. I wore Julie Wheat’s Vintage Silk Blouse and her Design Sequined Skirt and it upped the ante. I am pretty sure the free spirits that inhabited her fashion finds have left a little of their spirit in it and made me a little more carefree and a little more confident. I went to the Tin Roof with an old friend from college and pretty sure I caught the eye of two bachelors. Needless to say, one was verbose enough to engage me for awhile. That is, until he asked me where my boyfriend was and I panicked and flipped my hair around to say,”He’s right behind me.”
As for fit and function, vintage tops rock! Albeit size is something you should not pay attention because a Large is not a Large. The sequined skirt did not seem to be my typical flair for style, but I was glad to wear it because it really pulled the out fit together and gave the strong color of the blouse an anchor. I’m really excited to cheer on Julie and her clothes full of attitude. I have the hottest leather get-up that really ties in the “Glam Rocks” theme in Marion Square. Be sure to stop by the Style Lounge and meet the Cavortress herself!

Caroline Millard has some inside scoop about this year’s Charleston Fasion Week. “There’s no calm before the storm” is a pretty bold statement since CFW in its festive spirit kicked off on Friday. Julie Wheat of Cavortress launched her 201o collection with Eye Level Art and the [aloft hotel] in North Charleston.
Charleston City Paper gives there praise by invoking the spirit of Bettie Page.
Here’s a roundup photos after the walk through [aloft] by Sully Sullivan.
If you would like to learn more about Julie Wheat and how she advises aspiring designers to “have the guts to be you”, then Shauna Heathman of Mackenzie Image has the scoop on being Cavortress.
My Charleston Fashion has provided a video from the event and behind the scenes.
So has All Over It. And earlier last week, All Over It put together this preview of Bellina in Cavortress prior to the launch.
