Charm of the Week: Let’s Talk Keggy Style

When Kerry Leikus was pregnant with her second child, she wanted a stylish belt that would complement her style and her growing waistline.

Instead of embarking on a belt search, Leikus decided she would try making a belt by hand.

(Photo from Keggy).

“I began designing fabric and created my first reversible woven belt available in a myriad of sizes,” Leikus said.  I later moved on to leather belts and began designing buckles.  I received numerous inquiries as to whether I was also designing jewelry due to the bauble-like quality of my buckles.  It seemed like a natural progression to move into jewelry and our first ring collection was born.”

(Photo from Keggy).

Since 2005, Leikus has been the owner of Keggy Enterprises. Her retro inspired belts have been worn by starlets like Jessica Alba, Molly Sims, Lauren Conrad and Jessica Biel.

In March 2012, Keggy will be available in two Baltimore boutiques including Sassanova and Fresh! Boutique.

Ms. Charm’s Chic TURNS TWO!

It was on February 8, 2010 when I launched the Baltimore fashion news blog, Ms. Charm’s Chic.

My blog actually started off as a graded project for one of my classes during my senior year at Towson University.

Once I graduated, I decided that I came too far to just stop blogging. I am happy to say that Ms. Charm’s Chic is TWO YEARS OLD TODAY!

Over the last two years, I have been able to connect to so many amazing people within the Baltimore fashion scene.

I am so thankful to have such lovely loyal readers that come back to read more about the stylish city of Baltimore on Ms. Charm’s Chic. I could not do anything without you all.

Also, I want to thank:

Stacy Spaulding (my journalism professor that helped me start this fashion blog)

Ms. Charm’s Valentine’s Day Guide

Oh, Valentine’s Day . . . If you are partnered up, I’m sure you can not wait for next Tuesday. If you are single, I’m sure you are not looking forward to seeing PDA all day.

We all must remember that Valentine’s Day is about love whether it’s towards your family, your parents, your friends, or your crush.

If you love your significant other and you like being in a relationship,  Ms. Charm sees nothing wrong with that. If you like being single, Ms. Charm knows how you feel.

Say hello to Ms. Charm’s Valentine’s Day Guide . . .

Single Girl Valentine’s Day

Being single on Valentine’s Day is something that Ms. Charm can relate to.  I’m in my early 20s so I have plenty of time to date and find that right guy.

Most importantly, I know that I am not going to be single for rest of my life. So, I do not fear Valentine’s Day.

Being a single girl on Valentine’s Day isn’t that bad:
