My Favorite Summer Fragrances.
Fragrance is so subjective. Even though I am a massive lover of fragrance (and spent 8 years working in the ‘biz), I don’t feature perfume here tooooo often because fragrance can be hard to describe…

I am a big fan of Fares Micue’s work. I initially learned about her through last year’s collaboration with Liz, after which, I purchased one of her self-portraits (Too Many Expectations, which is still available!). Fares is a photographer based in Spain. I love that she is self-taught and iniitally a hobbyist…
Two of my greatest loves are art and books, so it makes sense that I have acquired quite a collection of art books! While I am grateful for the education I have, there will always be a part of me that wishes I studied art history.
Last week was on the more hectic side. I had an all day video shoot, Amazon Prime Day, a fundraiser that I co-hosted for Annie Andrews here in Charleston, and just a bunch of work!
As a lover of stripes, falling in love with Katie Craig’s art was only natural! I love the color combinations she uses and the way that she varies the width of the stripes. The result is all at once playful and upscale/elegant… pieces you will want for your home (or to wear: Katie, please do a fashion collaboration!).
