Shop The Edit: Polished Professional + High Fashion Gent

Sourcing some of the best retailers in the QC, we included some hot looks for the Polished Professional and High Fashion Gent also in this month's issue of Ballantyne Magazine. One of my favorite hidden gems in the city is Nouveaux Consignment, located in the heart of Ballantyne.  If there is one thing I love it is high fashion and a not high price.  Nouveaux Consignment has a great collection of designer threads gently used and ready to be passed on to the next lucky owner.   

Polished Professional

  1. The black and white leather Tory Burch bag with resin chain sold the day I returned it from being photographed.  Do not dismay, there are plenty other amazing finds!
  2. The teal shade of blue on these Celine sunglasses from Nordstrom is fiercely cool. 
  3. The Epice denim cherry pop scarf from TRC W would be so chic styled under the Eleventy red fedora and paired with the Celine sunnies.
  4. Who wouldn't want a custom made 2.13 carat band like the one we styled from Ballantyne Jewelers?
  5. I love a red fedora.  SO strong and chic. 
  6. Michele seems to be the popular brand theses days for women's watches.  How about this two-toned diamond watch from Ballantyne Jewelers?

High Fashion Gent

  1. This Fendi Monster Neoprene and Leather Tote is totally fun.  The entire collection is pretty neat I have to say. 
  2. My girl Kristin Hayes is making great pieces for men too.  If your guy is a cool guy, the oxidized sterling custom dog tag is a neat way for him to keep important dates close at heart. 
  3. These velvet Ferragamo loafers are perfect for more than just Hugh Hefner in the playboy mansion!

Alexander McQueen Inspired Avante-Garde Wedding

This third look in a series of three designer inspired weddings, exhilarated by the master of Avante-Garde, Alexander McQueen, was a stylist's dream come true.  I will let the pictures do the talking because looking at them takes my breath away.  I will just say Kristin Hayes is genius.  The girl reads my mind.  Each and every time.  The choker I commissioned last minute, showing Kristin a picture of a gown and a headpiece for my vision.  Keeping in mind the black wedding gown we would be using, she fused the two inspiration images to create this choker overnight. My eyes burn looking at it, it is that good. I hope you are inspired to do a wedding that is uniquely YOU. Oh and one other thing, Lori Konawalik has an ability outside of wedding photography like nobody's business.
