Lovies, I am so excited about this! Friday, September 16th, I will be attending a Ladies Only cocktail hour featuring Rae Hering and m.florita jewelry!  This exclusive event is happening at the historic Wellington Arms building in West Meade. It will feature an intimate performance by Rae and a showcase of m.florita's baubles, as well as founder Marrah speaking about her designs and the customization options for her jewelry and ornaments. And it's being sponsored by Village Wines!

You may remember Rae from this post where I styled a shoot for her, and she also provided the music to the 48 hour film project film on which I worked. She's a fantastic, cabaret inspired singer/songwriter. She even plays the accordion! Her record, Reality Over My Head, is available now and will be at the performance, as well.

 You may remember m. florita jewelry from my brother's wedding (she designed the bridesmaid's jewelry and was a fellow bridesmaid) and from my RAW showcase, where several of my models wore her gorgeous designs. If you will be in town and are free, email me at mode@cicileyhoffman.com and let me know you'd like to come and get all the details or RSVP here. All of your lovely lady friends are welcome, too! If you're a gent about time, feel free to send your better half ;)
This event is the first of an exclusive, grassroots series, so stay tuned for more.

Hope to see you there! And don't forget to dress to impress....

Seth Wood - Nashville style & sound

Seth Wood is a Nashville singer/songwriter with an endearing, classic, simple sound- and look. His latest EP Abraham is lyrically expressive, imaginative, and vivid with unexpected melodies and soft duets. These songs have a timeless immediacy- they could have been recorded 100 years ago or just yesterday, and are at once familiar. Seth writes of love, travel, time, and friendship- Abraham could easily be a soundtrack for a movie.

Seth's style matches his sound in authenticity, simplicity, and its Southern American roots.  Classic lines, button downs, suspenders, and simple pairings complete Seth's pared down look. Worn in jeans, earth tones- Seth has an approachable, comfortable style.

Seth says, " I am a total believer of minimalism- 3 chords and sort of thing. I think simplicity births great ideas so I like to live that way. I only own one pair of jeans. I have maybe three shirts." Seth would look fantastic in Billy Reid and could be the cover of Garden & Gun any day.

Songs like Old Bird are porch swing songs- perfect for cool nights outdoors with loved ones and a guitar. Think male Katie Herzig. Here is the video for Old Bird.

Seth's look is easygoing and authentic. "When you're young and poor because you're a struggling artist, you don't have the luxury of having lots of things," he says, "I just try to be creative with my limitations and make it a part of my persona. Less is more in so many ways, musically and fashionably."
