The gent behind the bow tie goes by Louis, a 27-year old recent Charleston transplant to Birmingham, AL. In a town with only a handful of male bloggers, Louis brings his refined style with a hint of big city living. The Bow Tie Gentleman is a digital spot to interact, inspire, and influence.... Welcome to the Bow Tie Gentleman!
Yes, the first day of Fall has already happened, but for some of us, the temperatures haven’t quite set in. Don’t get me wrong, I love living in Charleston, but I am 1000% ready for the temperatures to start falling. I want to pull the cobwebs of the door handle and access my Fall Closet while not feeling judged for wearing out...
Before you read: This is how I procrastinated my Monday Responsibilities…it might be funny? Yes, we are all familiar with the evil stepsister day of the week and her name is Monday. There are those who had a little too much fun over the weekend (one too many mimosas at brunch) and others who just didn’t have enough time to finish that long To-Do list (instead we finished...
When hunting for a new loafer, I wanted something classic, but with a little more character. A lot of loafers and drivers these days are looking more and more similar to each other, no matter what brand they are from. Sure, I am all about hopping on the latest trends or buying the best sellers, but this time, I was...
A couple of weeks ago, I shot with @therestorationhotel in Downtown Charleston. If you all remember, the hotel hosted my 23rd Birthday dinner at their rooftop restaurant and bar, The Watch. If you missed the post, you can read it here. If you haven’t checked out the restaurant, you probably should stop by and try all of their delicious dishes! This...
When the weekend arrives, you can find me seeking the best place for my favorite meal of the week, Brunch! There is nothing better than several glasses of mimosas, a table full of friends or family, and eating delicious food until you’ve reached a food coma. Living in Charleston, Brunch can be found sharpied in to everyone’s weekly agendas or...
A couple of weeks ago we found ourselves down on the lower end of busy King Street in Downtown Charleston. We quickly realized that we had decided to walk to our lunch spot during the hottest part of the day. Upon entering @QueenStreetGrocery, we were drawn to the refrigerators filled with a variety of cold beverages to choose from. The AC quickly gave...
Everyone by this point knows that I love going on walks. Seriously, it is almost impossible not to when I live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I will admit, there are some days that I walk, as sweat is falling from my forehead from walking 500 feet, that I question why I decided to leave my perfectly...
As life may have, some things just never seem to go as planned. I was quickly reminded of that a couple days before my birthday. I found myself with 72 hours to plan the perfect way to celebrate my 23rd birthday. Honestly, for a split second I had a major freak out moment, but then I remembered that I work best under...
AHHH. So basically, I am writing this an hour after I have been made aware of my nomination for the 2016 Charleston Social Media Day – Excellence in Social Media Award. It is truly a great honor and I am so excited to a part of the conference and the award ceremony! So what is the Charleston Social Media Day? Find out...
By now, you all have noticed how much I have incorporated products from H&M into my wardrobe. From my every day life, to wearing their pieces at Charleston Fashion Week, H&M has helped push my fashion boundaries. You guys have heard me talk about “fashion boundaries” in previous posts. I did not really define my style until 9th or 10th grade...
