Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

Homemade Biscuits in Charleston

Mmmmm....Charleston - known for its cobblestone streets, historic landmarks, Stephen Colbert (!) and legendary hospitality. But at the end of the day, Charleston is a food town and the buckle of the ever expanding Southern Food Belt. It's no wonder that when friends and family are planning to visit Charleston the first question that they ask me is for restaurant recommendations. Callie's Hot Little Biscuit tops the Lavin Label breakfast hot spot list. Not only are the biscuits ridiculously delicious, but the story behind Callie's Biscuits is pretty cool too! The owner, Carrie Morey, persuaded her mother Callie to postpone her retirement and help start Callie's Biscuits. Callie was a well sought after caterer and her customers loved the original ham biscuit. Her daughter recognized the potential of these hot little biscuits and decided to make her dream a reality.…

Hampden Clothing

High-end Women's Boutique in Charleston

If you're a Charlestonian then you likely already know about Hampden Clothing + JAMES located at 314 King Street. I stopped by this high-end boutique to get a taste of what Marie Claire and Vogue call the top boutique in the country. What really sets this place apart from other boutiques is their dedication to their clients. When I was in the shop I witnessed their commitment first hand. It was evident that they have a very personal relationship with their shoppers and that they choose their collections with specific clients in mind. Owner Stacy Smallwood and Stylist Katie Byrd styled two outfits for me. For the first look, we picked the Derek Lam 10 Crosby dress and paired it with a royal blue Proenza Schouler clutch, Ginette NY ring, a bold Lizzie Fortunato necklace and versatile Rag & Bone Margot booties. For the second…

I love following Moon and Lola on Instagram for inspiration! Their fabulous feed is full of bright, whimsical and happy pictures.

I'm always on the lookout for fun + different things to do, especially on a weeknight. Sometimes I can get stuck in a rut in the evenings when I come home from work, cook dinner and watch TV. There has got to be more to life! On my recent visit to Charleston, I stumbled across Candlefish, a new shop located on Wentworth street that specializes in the craft of candle making. The shop is a destination for inspiration. If you are visiting Charleston, you MUST stop by Candlefish. You won't be disappointed.
