A Thoughtful Valentine’s Day Gift for Him

Find The Perfect Gift with Mercantile + Co.

This Post is in Partnership with Mercantile + Co. Opinions are 100% My Own. I don't know what it is, but I find gift-giving so much harder when I'm shopping for men. I'm always trying to find a gift they'll love, but one that is original as well. We love Garden & Gun and through them we learned about their online store Mercantile + Co. It is a curated collection of items from innovative and iconic brands in the South and beyond. You're able to shop directly from the artisans and makers that are featured in their magazine. It is a great source for year round gifts. So naturally, this is where I searched for a Valentine's Day gift for Casey. For those of you who don't know him personally, I would say it is fair to describe him as…

Alton Lane

Tailor Made Menswear In Savannah

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching I have been trying to come up with some unique gift ideas for Casey. I have just learned of a new store in Savannah and it is the perfect fit, literally! Alton Lane (12 stores throughout the country, everywhere from Chicago to Dallas to New York) recently opened a store on Broughton Street. Founded by Colin Hunter and Peyton Jenkins, Alton Lane is a mens clothing store that creates custom-made shirts and suits, tailored to you! It uses the same high-end fabrics and attention to detail of designer menswear at a more affordable cost. The moment I heard about this I was booking an appointment to bring Casey there. When you first arrive in this beautiful historic building, one that was actually a facility used to store cotton, you are welcomed…

Self-Love Week

Taking The Time To Focus Some Attention On You

Now that we are in February, you are hopefully well on your way with your New Years Resolutions. I'm off to a good start with mine and trying to stay focused on them. One of my resolutions for this year was to achieve a better work/life balance. While strategizing how to do that, I was thinking it would be beneficial to focus a little time on self-love. After all, you can't be your best for others if you don't take care of yourself first. Starting next Monday, over on our Facebook page we are going to be outlining two things to do for yourself everyday. We have broken them down as something for the day time and something for the evening. They're small gestures that range from subscribing to your favorite magazine or soaking in salts…

Spotlight on Two Women Business Owners In The Golden Isles

We are fortunate in the Golden Isles to have an abundance of talented and creative women making their mark on the business scene. Today, I want to feature two of those women. They have both taken their business idea, grown it exponentially and now each have their own retail locations in downtown Brunswick. I encourage you to stop by each of their stores and learn about their stories. Dot and Army was founded by owner Jennifer Zamudio. The idea behind it came as she realized she and her family were using so many paper towels on a daily basis. She wanted to create a more sustainable option. She has been sewing since childhood and decided to start making cloth napkins and "unpaper" towels. Since opening her business, her napkins have been featured in Food…

Golden Isles Travel Guide

Shop, Eat, And Enjoy St. Simons Island Like A Local

As you already know, Lavin Label is based in St. Simons Island, Georgia. We're so fortunate to call this part of the Golden Isles our home.
