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…

You can see the full Southern Style Is story right here on Southern Living. Cities represented include Charleston, Austin, NOLA, Atlanta, & Birmingham, all curated by fellow southern bloggers. It’s pretty awesome!
Photography by Gray Benko.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I thought Charleston was more ethnic than this! While I love seeing so many friends I am disappointed there isn’t more diversity.
You’re a rockstar. This is so good!
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:))

So proud of you! This is awesome.
I never thought I could rock a drop waist, but that awesome dress that Allison is wearing is making me second guess myself!
Can’t wait to read the full article.
Just perfect!
