Buzzing around SouthPark Magazine

Be sure to pick up the July issue of SouthPark Magazine which is filled with great articles on the who, what, when, where in Charlotte. This month I was beyond excited to not only write but style the cover story entitled Fresh Brewed Fashion featuring men in the thriving local beer scene.  The article covered many aspects of the industry talking to brewers, a beer blogger and bottle shop owner...and not only did we talk beer but we also played dress up in high end suits from local boutiques and department stores like Neiman Marcus and Blank Canvas. Also, in this issue I share products men should stock up on for the summer...I did have help top local grooming hubs like Emerson Joseph and Ballantyne Hotel & Lodge. Plus, I interviewed individuals whose style is their profession...from Sonya Barnes, Image Consultant to Richard Pattison, of Taylor Richards & Conger and they shared their tips for instant style for me. 

Be sure to drop me a note and let me know your favorite place to grab a beer or even your best grooming or instant style tips for men. Look forward to hearing from you!

Gift idea: Be the best girlfriend ever by taking your dude to a brewery and sample the best local beer.

Be sure to pick up the June issue of SouthPark Magazine which is filled with great articles on the who, what, when, where in Charlotte. This month I was like a kid in a candy store picking out beautiful jewelry from local designers like Kristin Hayes and Laura James. Each piece had it's own character and would be a perfect accessory to many summer outfits. The article is called Summer Sparklers and begins on page 23. Oh and we all love a good cookout, right? I feel like I am always on the lookout for a fun one:) Anyhoo, be sure to read Thrill of the Grill where I pick out some not-so-expected items to take your BBQ from simple to supreme.  Oh, and you can pick up a copy of the magazine throughout the city. Here are all the locations. 

Be sure to drop me a note and let me know your favorite place to shop for local baubles or even your top BBQ tip. Look forward to hearing from you!

Be sure to pick up the May issue of SouthPark Magazine (blvd. section) to find out some of the best locally made treats to include in your picnic basket. Some of the items I highlighted were from Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, Blacklion, Sunflour Baking Company, Reid's Fine Foods, Duke Bread, Orrman's Cheese Shop and Isabella boutique.

Bzzzz: Grab a few of these items and take your significant other on an alfresco date. Picnics are high on my list of "experience gifts" and it's a perfect way to have a memory and not simply objects as gifts! 

Oh--and you could even couple the picnic with a local event like Symphony Pops or any of the many outdoor events that take place through the Spring/Summer months.

Be sure to pick up the April issue of SouthPark Magazine and see my contributions in the BLVD section of this luxe magazine. This month I interviewed internationally known fashion designer, Cynthia Rowley...fresh off of New York Fashion Week no less...and her passion for her work came through in every word she spoke. Have you ever met someone who seemed so in tune to their calling? It may sound silly but that's the feeling I got from Cynthia! So obviously interviewing Ms. Rowley was a huge highlight for me but I also got to create a fun piece called Neighborhood Style Watch where personal fashion style was shown through Charlotte neighborhoods. Let me know (leave a comment below) if you could see yourself in the "neighborhood" attire once you read the article. Last but not least, I was able to share a new beauty gem (and timesaver) to SouthPark--Blo OuT salon which opened this month.  It all begins on page 21 and copies can be picked up here. 

Bzzz: Cynthia by Cynthia Rowley is a new clothing line being sold exclusively by Belk stores. I've checked out these outfits and they are classic Cynthia but with a smaller price tag. Her clothes offer staples (cute Tuxedo pants) and whimsical (silk shirts dotted with colorful polka dots) items too. Great for fashionistas, budget babes who still want to look good and those that want to "pop" this spring/summer. 

The services of Blo Out would be a fun afternoon of pampering your hair with your best girlfriend (for $35 for a style you can treat!) or a special Mother/Daughter outing. 

I painstakingly (smile) picked clothes and accessories for the Neighborhood Style Watch from Fresh Boutique, Boris & Natasha, Scout & Molly's and Ivy & Leo that would make for a pulled together look for every  Charlotte zip code so I suggest you stop in the respective stores and ask for the entire outfit! Too much? Try an accessory or one of the pieces for a "just right for you" gift!

Bzzz: Love in the air with HoneeBee Gifts & SouthPark Magazine



Be sure to pick up the February issue of SouthPark Magazine (blvd. section) where I highlight the people, places and things in and around Charlotte.

In addition, I penned items that ranged from a greeting card to makeup that matched the "it" color of the color of the season: wine. It all begins on page 21 and copies can be picked up throughout Charlotte.

For the December issue of SouthPark Magazine, I was able to go beyond my normal contributor duties of working on the blvd. section. I also wrote the "Lost Art of Dinner" article on the roaming dinner and activity club, Relish Carolina and my do's and don'ts of gift giving was featured by Olivia Fortson in the Swirl section. In addition, the blvd. section was expanded due to the holiday season and I was able to get even more creative with the section by interviewing a local mixologist  Nicholas Glass with Delta's Restaurant, bakery (Polka Dot Bake Shop) and stationary shop (Paper Twist). In addition I worked directly with the photographer setting the holiday scene for blvd. section of the publication.  It felt great to have an expanded role with one of my all-time favorite magazines...how lucky am I?!

 

Anyhoo, be sure to pick up the December issue of SouthPark Magazine and shameless plug...be sure to check out--
