There is such a wide array of artistic talent in Memphis but as a lady in the fashion industry here in the city, it is very rare to find the arts utilized in the fashion segment. We have a lot of great musicians, artists, writers, and with the emergence of incredibly talented fashion designers and our very own fashion week in the past few years, Memphis is experiencing a southern fashion uprising. One lady introducing fashion to Memphis is designer, Tara Skelley. I got the honor of interviewing this beautifully talented woman and I am blown away by her determination, perseverance, and support of the Memphis fashion scene.

I have had some great feedback on the interviews pieces I have been putting up lately so I decided to start a City Chic Living interview series to go live every Tuesday. I got to interview Mary Claire, of Falling Into Place Boutique, a truly uniquely inspiring entrepreneur.

So the past month I have been a little inconsistent in blogging but I promise I have two really good reasons. This is one of them and the other will be posted next week.

The closer we get to the holidays, the more we're seeing bold holiday hues & I love it! A large statement piece deserves a gorgeous back drop. When pairing big pops of red, go for a strong contrast with classic black & white pieces for maximum impact and timeless style.
