Experience: Charlotte Mag BOB Awards Party

Each year, Charlotte Magazine puts together the "best of the best" list that showcases...well...the best...the city has to offer in the areas of: dining, arts & culture, shopping, body & soul, nightlife and recreation. The list is put together by the writers and editors of the magazine which is apropos since they live and breathe all things Charlotte. To put the cherry on top, Charlotte Magazine has a party where some of the BOB winners are featured...and the general public can eat and drink a bit of what the experts have been raving about in the magazine. The party takes place on Thursday, May 17th at 6:30pm. In addition, to good eats and drinks, there will be music, prizes and an after party. This year's party will take place in the NC Music Factory Courtyard (the party will move indoors if it rains) and for the first time there will be an official after party at Butter NC.

After perusing the Charlotte Magazine issue, I noticed that some of my favorites were also the faves of Charlotte Magazine. I love being in good company:) Here are a few:
Upscale Patio Dining: The Dresslers (Midtown) and Vivace
Fish Market: Clean Catch
Lingerie: I.C. London
Sky High Workout: Flex and Fit

There's also a few I can't wait to try to see if it's true like:
Place for Cheap Drinks: Small Bar
Running Trail: 5K Course at McAlpine Creek Park
All Day Spot: Common Market

Bzzz: Be sure to pick up a copy of Charlotte Magazine (May issue) because not only does it list the current winners (some with pics), there is also an index and Hall of Fame of past winners. Also, be sure to check out the "Bracket Smackdown" and the 'Splurge or Steal" sections, both are new elements to the awards issue.

Happy (Event) Weekend & Media for Giftapalooza

We are one day away from Giftapalooza and we have been receiving great coverage announcing the event! I wanted to share a sneak peak of the store (not my gift picks--you'll have to stop by to see those!) and some of the media coverage.  

The Boulevard at South End features jewelry, clothes, candles and more in their shop

There's so much to see in this beautiful gift boutique and new items arrive regularly

We have received coverage from the following media outlets. Just click the link below each logo to see why you should come out on Saturday!

Charlotte Magazine highlights HoneeBee Gifts Blog Party

As if I wasn't excited enough for my blog party, now I am even more excited about the aftermath! Everyone shared that they had a great time and I have made a few great connections (keep em coming!) as a result of the party. I wanted to share a GREAT highlight from the event-- the Charlotte Magazine article that talks about the HoneeBee Gifts Blog Party by freelance writer/editor and blogger, Jarvis Holliday, who I am also lucky to call a friend. Here's a snidbit of the article below:

Dusk Till Dawn
I’m always looking for new and different ways to experience an evening or night out. I’d heard a little about The Wine Palette since it opened in June in Plaza Midwood, and I finally got the chance to check it out Saturday when a friend and fellow blogger had a party.


Simone McDowell, of HoneeBee Gifts, threw a party to celebrate the redesign of her blog. The Wine Palette hosts private events, so Simone welcomed about thirty of her friends and fellow bloggers, and we had the place to ourselves from 5-8 p.m.
