Welcome to the Bow Tie Gentleman!
Shopping at your fingertips, great meeting space, plush accommodations, and private access floors, Belmond Charleston Place has it all. I’ve shared with you all before that they truly want to exceed a guest’s expectations. Having great tasting food steps away from your accommodations is just another perk of the Belmond Charleston Place. I have been anxiously waiting to share my experience with...
“New Year, New Me?” *cue the eye roll* I know we are all tired of hearing that, but hey, everyone can always use a closet refresher. Here are some of my top picks for this month that are sure to step up your closet for 2016. A lot of these are also great staple pieces and classics that you can use again...
After a couple of [recovery] days off to begin 2016, its time for me to reflect on the past 12 months and share what’s to come for the New Year.

“Ugh..its Monday.” The single most heard phrase throughout today. We all dread the ending of the weekend and the beginning of the week. Back when I was still in school, this meant that I was up late on Sunday night finishing off the work that I procrastinated on all weekend. Come Monday morning, I wanted to skip class or sleep in...

This past Saturday night I had the priviledge of sitting front row at the @Dandy Boutique Fashion Show. The @Ro Sham Beaux showroom on Broad Street in downtown Charleston made for the perfect runway backdrop. We were greated at the door with cotton candy by @PURE Fluff Co of Charleston. In true fall spirit, the pumpkin cotton candy prepared you for the...
Yesterday, Dawson and I had the privilege of walking through the J. Stark Showroom in the Fashion District of downtown Charleston. Walking into the work area/showroom for J. Stark products was like taking a breath of fresh cool air, even though it was 75 degrees in Charleston. This was probably the most aesthetically pleasing room we had ever been in. Bags lined...
