Southern Style Is: Southern Living + LLL


It’s live, it’s live!! If you follow my instagram you may have seen that I’m working on a fun project for Southern Living. My task, find 10 Charleston friends who have serious style for their Southern Style Is story. So I grabbed my friend Gray Benko and went to work. Luckily it wasn’t too difficult…

    I never thought I could rock a drop waist, but that awesome dress that Allison is wearing is making me second guess myself!

  3. So proud of you! This is awesome.

  4. […] in case you missed it yesterday afternoon I posted about the fun style project I’ve been working on with Southern Living. 10 Charleston friends and their style. I’m […]

  5. Hi Tim my name is Emily…hahah! Great shoot everyone looks so pretty and their creativity is really coming through!

  6. Lindsay

    Huge fan of Southern Living (and you obvi) so I love this post!! Beautiful styles and such great shots! (Tim was a nice bonus too:))

  7. You’re a rockstar. This is so good!

    I thought Charleston was more ethnic than this! While I love seeing so many friends I am disappointed there isn’t more diversity.

    1. I’m sorry you’re disappointed, Cator. This shoot is definitely not meant to be a complete representation of what Charleston has to offer. This is just a shoot of some of my friends who I think have great style… it’s not about who is something or who isn’t.

  9. I think it’s horrible when these photo shoots are done and the clothes that were worn are returned. It’s not fair to the businesses that you shop from who take a hit because they can’t sell worn clothing. I wish people had more values and morals.

    1. Wow, yeah that sorta thing totally sucks. That’s not the case here for this shoot. Everyone wore their own clothes, I didn’t pull anything for styling. Thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks for the quick reply Chassity. Those peeps def have great style! I’m sure you understand where I am coming from though. Great list of people regardless.

    1. Well Cator I believe we’re over due for a proper drink meeting (and by proper I mean vodka). Let’s grab our girl Olivia and plan it and you can introduce me to some new peeps!
