Southern panache for your life
You can’t go wrong with a trip to Napa Valley. Every time I travel to California I feel as though I have been transported to Europe. The scenery is so vast, the culture so uniquely it’s own (as a comparison to The South where I hail from), and the food and wine culture outstanding. If
History is Messy. But history is also vibrant, dynamic, and thanks to the many fantastic curators at Atlanta History Center, history is incredibly approachable. AHC is filled with plenty of exhibitions that appeal to all interests. You probably know about the History Center from Swan House, the iconic 1920s home that starred in the Hunger
Highlands NC is a beautiful mountain town set at what the founders at the time thought would be the ideal intersection of Midwestern and NorthEastern train travel. Little did they realize that their hamlet of mountain heaven was set between mountains that were difficult to blast through and thus the railroad intersection never came to
Okay so, this isn’t my ideal way to travel. I normally like to spend at minimum three days in one location to get a proper feel for the place, but when I was invited to the House Beautiful concept house in Nashville and could only spare a day out of my schedule, I figured I’d
Once we got our bearings right and settled into our vacation home, we couldn’t wait to explore more of the Cote d’Azur. I think every girl who grows up taking French class always dreams of getting to try their French in Paris and doesn’t really consider the delights that await them outside of the big
The Cote d’Azur is, arguably, the best place to go shopping. Full stop. Period. I have so much love for everything that the Cote d’Azur has to offer, namely, in the shoppable goods section. And when it comes to bringing things home for your self and your friends, here are my top souvenirs to stash
Now that you are suited up with a great camera for travel, something small and tote-able that won’t weigh you down like the RX100 or the Sony A6000 (or Sony A7iii), I want to equip you with the skills on how to take fantastic photos wherever you go! As I mentioned in this post, a
I think one of the most frequent questions I get whenever I do a Q&A on Instagram is “What Camera do I use for Traveling/Blogging/etc.” As I’ve been blogging for more than five years, I have a lot of experience shooting with a variety of cameras professionally over the years. I initially picked up photography
We got back from the Cote d’Azur a few days ago and I’m already having withdrawals. It might be one of my favorite cities to photograph outside of Charleston, in fact I’d liken this place to the Charleston of Europe. It’s so charmingly colorful, the climate is temperate and warm, and the food is fresh
I am a huge believer in mixing a little old with a little new when it comes to decorating. There’s something about the hunt for unique objects at Antique malls that make an item feel truly special to me. Maybe it’s a bit of nostalgia from summer weekend mornings spent garage-saling with my grandma (she’s
