Happy Sunday! The last two weeks have been so busy in Charleston with lots of fun sprinkled in. I’ve enjoyed a handful of walks with girlfriends in the glorious fall weather we’ve been having (minus the past three rainy days) and loved getting going on creating holiday content for Rhyme & Reason. I’ve also had the privilege of being able to support a few brands here in Charleston and brands popping up in Charleston including Hampden, Mignonne Gavigan, Roller Rabbit, Wicklewood, Blithfield, Beau & Ro, and Flower Magazine. It’s been amazing to meet and/or support each one!
We were supposed to be moving into our house this weekend and it’s been a huge disappointment that our renovation had a delay that really could have been avoided. Such is life and we’re just staying positive and recognizing that we’re incredibly fortunate to be in the position we’re in. I hope each one of you has a beautiful Sunday! Read down to my links to see what I’ll be watching tonight…!
