Charleston, we meet again

August 12, 2019 By hautegreyfox 2 Comments

I took a quick getaway with some friends, and I had another chance to explore the beautiful and charming city of Charleston. I was prepared to do a series of photoshoots and explore the city in a new way. Each visit is different because there is so much to do, and the people who call this city home are warm and welcoming.

Do you want to guess the number one accessory that didn’t leave my side during my trip? 

An umbrella. Yes, it rained the majority of our trip! I’m talking about some serious downpours that would have caused a few hiccups during my photoshoots. 

When the rainy days outnumber the sunny ones while you’re on a quick trip or an extended vacation, how do you respond? 

I respond with, “Thank you, Lord, for an umbrella.”

That’s right. My friends and I didn’t stop exploring. We had great umbrellas, and we made sure we were wearing shoes that would keep us safe while walking around Charleston. No one wants to slip!

During this trip, we met the amazing people of Charleston and the passionate business owners who joyfully engage with their customers. 

Here are my top memories from this trip — of course, I’ll be going back again. 

Happy stomachs

I love a good meal, and Charleston has yet to let me down. Magnolias, Halls Chophouse, and Hyman’s Seafood are a few favorites. Do you know of any other places I should visit? Be sure to check out these three spots.

Happy shopping

We shopped at places ranging from boutiques to other luxury brand stores. My favorite discovery during this trip was an interior design store called Mitchell Hill. It was such a unique store with the most interesting pieces. I will certainly visit again. 

I also had a chance to visit the Goorin Bros. Scroll through my Instagram timeline, and you’ll see that I’m a huge fan of their hats. The styles not only come in handy on a “not today” kind of hair day. They are also strong accessories to any outfit. Check them out. 

Happy strolling

Even in the rain, we couldn’t stop exploring. Charleston is filled with beautiful buildings, colors and people. I’m captivated each time. This city is a 3-hour drive for me, so I’ll be back. 

The rain didn’t stop us from having fun! Let that be a reminder to keep going — even if it gets a little windy or rainy.

A year ago today I was in beautiful Mexico @thefiv A year ago today I was in beautiful Mexico @thefivesbeachhotel wearing this gorgeous @freepeople dress surrounded by family and close friends — a day away from witnessing my  my son marry the love of his life.  Shortly after our return to the states NC was shut down by the pandemic.  Looking back  I realize that 2020 has taught me some valuable lessons.  I’ll share a few...
.
.
.
1.  Find happiness in simple things.
2.  Who I surround myself with directly impacts the quality of my life (positively or negatively) sounds cliche but birds of a feather... 
3.  Actions reveal more than words. 
5.  Never stop learning.
6.  I am more capable than my doubts.
7.  Stay humble and nonjudgemental. 
8.  Beautiful relationships are the key to an amazing life - never be afraid to walk away from someone who does not value you.
9.  Kindness always wins.
10.  Be authentic. 
.
.
What has 2020 taught you?

Fun fact: Valentine’s Day is also my wedding ann Fun fact: Valentine’s Day is also my wedding anniversary. This year will make 24  years. Marking the big day may have a few changes, but trust that I’m going to bring the fashion — day and night. @lovechicos is helping me celebrate, and they even sell cute face coverings to bring along.
 
For our day date, I’m keeping it casually chic with Chico’s black and white Heart-Print Shirtdress. It has a classic fit with long sleeves, front pockets, a button closure collar, and my favorite — a removable tie belt to adjust your look.
 
For our evening date, which includes takeout from our favorite restaurant, I’m keeping things classic with Chico’s timeless Travelers black dress.  We’re not going anywhere, but it feels so great to dress up for something special — a celebration of love. The Travelers Dress is wrinkle-resistant and has a beautiful silhouette.
 
Love is always in the air. Celebrate in a way that brings you joy.
