Southern Pride

I have lived in Charleston for nearly five years now and come to love the South as much as my Northeastern New York roots. Recently, one of my favorite magazines, which operates out of Charleston but covers all of the Southeast has been getting a lot of much-deserved attention - Garden&Gun.

The publisher and founder, Rebecca Darwin, has a similar story to mine - a New York City transplant who ended up a preacher's wife in Charleston - not a lot of us out there I assume : )! CBS just did a great segment on her and the magazine, pick up a copy of you want a little insight into the best of the Southern lifestyle.

And speaking of Southern style, Jess James is bringing her famed Style Swap back to Charleston on February 23rd - tickets are on sale now!

Bring your old designer pieces and swap them for new ones - well, new to you!  You will also have a chance to win prizes donated by local boutiques as well as enjoy light refreshments.  The event is a lot of fun, I've been to every one in Charleston and always come home with something cute!
