Condomonium!

Hannah Sayle — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:38:31 -0600

It's condom couture, y'all.

Last Saturday's condom-themed fundraiser for CHOICES was the place to be for tasty nibbles, cheeky cocktails (prophylactic punch, anyone?), and, of course, outfits made out of rubbers.…

Fashion Friday

Mary Cashiola — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:09:00 -0500

Online boutique Strange Fruit Vintage will pop into real life tomorrow night as Odessa is transformed into an '80s-inspired clothing store from 6 - 10 p.m.

With music provided by DJ Homework, Strange Fruit Vintage's pop-up shop will offer more than 200 vintage pieces, priced from $20 to $100.

A portion of the proceeds from an era-specific $5 photobooth — that I personally can't wait to see — will benefit the Odessa building fund.…

Sophisticated "Spring" Coat

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:24:17 -0600

Dr. Jennifer Hobbs is originally from Chicago but has been in Memphis for about two years.

We ran into her at the Brooks on a day when it was blistering cold to native Memphians, like hide-in-a-blanket-in-front-of-a-fire kind of weather, but to a native Chicagoan, it probably felt like, well, spring.…

Fabulous Finds

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:34:17 -0600

Last week, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art held Wined Through the Galleries: An Artful Scavenger Hunt.

Armed with glasses of wine and a map of the museum, teams scoured the galleries to find the answers to questions such as "Flutter by these creatures with wings to find a princess who whistles and sings.…

Mood Lighting

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:34:00 -0600

Shooting in a museum has its challenges. My heels make a horrible racket on the floor, everyone is busy looking at the artwork, and the security guards seem to want to jump into every shot.…

Crossing Jordan

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:33:44 -0600

Kat Morisy recently underwent wardrobe triage.

The Cornell student is studying Arabic and International Relations and, when we ran into her at the Brooks scavenger hunt, about to go live in Jordan for six months.…

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:01:34 -0500

Speaking of shoes that POP!, look at these.

A Good Pair of Boots

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:00:01 -0500

In keeping with today's general footwear theme, let's talk about Joel Halpern's boots.

Justin Fox Burks

We could also talk about Halpern's J. Crew shirt and uniqlo jeans, or the fact that Style Sessions is making an effort to be more inclusive of dudes, but let's talk about the boots.…

The BoM

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:38:35 -0500

Last week was the Flyer's Best of Memphis party and I have to say, most of the attendees looked pretty damn good. Take Eryka Smith, for example.…

Get Down

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:37:15 -0500

You know how l love clothes with a story. This entry of Style Sessions is more like a saga, so bear with me a minute.…

Well, dear readers, I'm on the beach this week, drinking mojitos and trying to refresh my naturally Mediterranean skin tone for another year. But I couldn't leave you without your weekly dose of local style.…

Camo Capris

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 08:02:00 -0500

Speaking of cute capris, here is a pair that Nicole Childers made herself.

"These pants got too short, so I cut them off," she says.…

Pink Polo

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 08:00:00 -0500

I have a confession: I love a guy who knows how to wear pink. I had this boyfriend once and his coloring was such that he looked so cute in pink, but he just wasn't having it.…

White on White

Mary Cashiola — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:58:15 -0500

Shell Style

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:05:00 -0500

Justin Fox Burks

I am of the opinion that not every girl can pull off a pair of high-waisted trousers.

But there is no doubt in my mind that Brittney Boyd definitely can.…

Tangerine Dream

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:03:00 -0500

Justin Fox Burks

Let me tell you: When Justin and I hit the Music Commission show Sunday at the Levitt Shell, we saw a lot of orange clothing in the crowd. We saw apricot, peach, something that can only be described as traffic-hazard orange, and this lovely tangerine.…

Mary Cashiola — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:00:00 -0500

Sometimes, an article of clothing just takes hold of you. It's like love at first sight.…
