It has been years since I’ve actually hit the slopes skiing. It seems that life became too busy in adulthood, even when we ventured to snowy destinations to sled and enjoy the beautiful winter white landscape. We are hoping to take the girls to the snow this winter and would love to see them learn to ski or snowboard when they are ready. Right now we are experiencing some of the coldest weather we’ve had in Charleston in a very long time, which has meant bundling up in our warmest layers normally reserved for the snow and winter vacations. Whether you are planning a ski trip, or live in a cold or snowy climate, here is a selection of parkas, snow pants, sweaters, scarves, hats, boots, and more to keep you warm, comfortable, and stylish all season long!

After taking a mid-week break, Emily and her crew sat out for NYFW day 3 to prep for days ahead. The intermission was much needed especially because NYFW day 4 was the definition of action-packed! From meeting TikTokers and Youtubers at Spring Studios to sitting front row at Greedilous by Tilda, the energy couldn’t be better.

Aknvas

Emily and her fashion week crew were invited backstage to see Christian Juul Nielsen’s collection up close and personal before the start of the presentation. Aknvas, the genderless collection, was filled with unique features such as fringe, puff sleeves, bustier tops and extravagant textures. Not to mention the outstanding color palette that completely brightened New York after the big snowstorm. Christian Juul Nielsen, who is no stranger to the fashion industry, explained to Vogue that the collection was “framing my couture background but there’s something chill about it”. After looking at the intricate

For the last day of NYFW, Emily and her fashion week crew got to experience Melke and KGL’s presentations. Emma Gage and Kanika Goyal both put out unforgettable collections and made the last day extremely special.

Melke

The first show of the day, Melke, was a perfect wake me up! The presentation took place at Veranda, where coffee was poured and looks were served. Throughout the presentation, the two models made multiple outfit changes to showcase Emma Gage’s latest collection. Emma started Melke in 2020 and it is known for being a sustainable gender-fluid fashion brand. Her collection is inspired by a family trip to the Ashford Castle in Galway, Ireland. Through the earthy patterns and chivalric chain details, the guests were transported from Soho right to Galway.

As Emily and her crew first walked into Spring Studio’s Sunken Living Room, they were greeted by a balloon pit and

We love the outdoor-focus of our Charleston community, including sunny, invigorating winter days that always leave me feeling refreshed. We try to spend as much time as possible outside enjoying some of our favorite activities, like walking around the neighborhood, playing at the park, biking along the marsh, and going to the beach. Thankfully, Charleston winters are fairly mild (except the recent unusual freeze). Even so, we still get chilly mornings and evenings that call for coats, sweaters, sneakers or boots, a beanie, and more to ensure full enjoyment during our time outdoors. Below is a roundup of pieces perfect for any winter adventure as you head outside this season!

These stylish suede and shearling hiker boots will keep feet warm and dry this winter.

This cozy fleece jacket with reflective details is the perfect layer to wear outdoors evening walks or hiking trips.

As we spend these last few days of 2022 quietly celebrating after a very busy (and fun) weekend, I’m feeling extra sentimental about what has been and what is to come. This past year has been filled with so many exciting additions, including becoming a family of four, welcoming our new nephew, turning our home into our dream home, starting new ventures at JB and Parterre, and more. We want to wish you and your families a safe and happy New Year’s eve, filled with love and happiness. Here is a look back at some of our favorite moments and styles from 2022 before moving forward to another new year!

Few fabrics feel as luxurious and plush for cooler weather than velvet. Whether it’s in a dress, skirt, blazer, pants, or accessory, lush velvet exudes warmth and elegance. I found this festive red mini, gold embroidered tunic dress, and wide legged pants ideal to wear for the holidays, NYE, winter celebrations, and more. Each piece is uniquely different, with the common thread of being made of the softest velvet. For beautiful finds like these, see my edit of velvet favorites for the season below.

One of my favorite things about holiday entertaining is setting a beautiful table with all the trimmings. The layout and design depends on how many people we are hosting, but for even the smallest gatherings, I like to set the table in a meaningful way. I always add greenery and flowers in vases with a mix of candles for a festive touch. I love to include beautiful dishes, glasses, silverware, and linens in a blend of colors to compliment the season. My growing collection of table pieces, including our latest Parterre styles, have become a part of our family holiday traditions. I hope you find a
