Well, it is nearly 3 AM on a Sunday night, and instead of sleeping like I should be, I am awake, creating a blog to finally try to keep up with the chaos in my somewhat fashionista mind!
First of all, I can't sleep because on the car ride home from Charleston today, I slept for at least 2 hours. Long naps ALWAYS result in a sleepless night for me!
This brings me to what truly inspired me to start blogging about all things southern and fabulous...Charleston, South Carolina. For years, it has been a favorite place of mine to visit. I really wanted to attend the College of Charleston, but those plans changed when I got accepted to
Clemson University! I always loved the beach there, the shops downtown, the history ... every time I go is like the very first time all over again. The beauty and charm overwhelm me. I love the old homes, the Battery, Rainbow Row, the Isle of Palms, Shem Creek, and just the lifestyle there. Things seem more relaxed there. I love the constant warm ocean breeze crossing the harbor and the beach. I love the boutiques downtown and all the shopping you can do. My best friend, Travis, from high school attends the College of Charleston and shares my love for fashion. He has worked backstage at
Charleston Fashion Week and has trained models who have walked in the shows.
I love southern style - bowties, seersucker, sundresses, and pearls - and wish that my budget was not that of a meager college student so that I could buy more of these things! So for now, I will settle for a blog to live out my fantasy of MY idea of the southern dream - to live in a historic home downtown Charleston on the Battery, wearing only the finest that Charleston has to offer, living the life of a southern lady, spending summers on the beach and the boat, going out on the town and enjoying the company of as many friends as possible.
