The hotel design is really so good you guys, each room is unique and special. And the restaurant is my absolute fave! Maybe I’ll see you there? Chances are good, lol!

These biscuits are my go-to gift to ship to love ones and professional contacts throughout the year!

CHARLESTON ARTIST COLLECTIVE: Win a $400 gift card to one of my most favorite art shops! They carry so many incredibly talented artists that it’s impossible to not have a wish list! They have a wide array of artistic styles so there is something for everyone! I especially love the work by Chelsea Goer and Slava.

THE AVENUE: One of my most visited sites this year. The hours that I spend browsing their new arrivals is embarrassing. Winner will get a $300 gift card to shop the site, and in case you don’t already know, The Avenue carries THE coolest entertaining and fashion brands, like these incredible woven placemats featured above.

SOHP SHOP: Considering this is my 12 year old daughter Lilly’s soap line it’s obviously one of my most favorite things! Every ball of hand soap has a surprise toy hidden inside to encourage kids to wash their hands! It’s so much fun! Winner gets a “My Kid Goes To A Lot Of Birthday Parties” 6 pack of soaps!

LILLA P: I hope after my capsule collection with Lilla P this past Spring you have all grown to love the brand as much as I do. Pauline designs the most special everyday luxurious pieces, once you try them you’ll be a devotee. Winner gets a $300 gift card! I recommend scoping out the green turtleneck sweater featured above.

CASUARINA JEWELRY X LLL: Easily in my top 5 favorite things of the year – I never take off my Heart of Gold Necklace that I co-designed with Harriet Gilmore of Casuarina Jewelry, inspired by the women in our lives who have true hearts of gold! The winner gets a Heart of Gold Necklace of their own!! We will be necklace twins!

MILLE: I’m one of Mille’s biggest fans and own many of their pieces to prove it. The feminine silhouettes, gorgeous patterns, and extra special details designed into Michelle’s collections make Mille one of the best brands of 2021 (and I think the internet agrees)! Winner gets a $300 to shop the site, I have my eye on this Celeste Dress…

CHAPPYWRAP: This is the softest blanket you’ll ever own. Trust. We have them on both of our sofas and extras stashed away, too! This is a wonderful holiday gift for yourself or anyone on your list! Winner gets a $250 gift card to shop the site! And pssstt… I just might be designing something special with them for the new year…

CELADON: One of my long time favorite home stores Celadon is back for the giveaway this year with a $500 gift card!! I don’t think this giveaway would be the LLL giveaway without them. They have the most amazing furniture and accessory collection. I just got our new bar stools from them and am obsessed. The woven basket planters are a personal fave of mine, too!

BYRDIE GOLF: Byrdie is a new favorite brand for me this year and one little glance at their website will tell you why – they are THE most adorable sporty brand! Gahhhh!! I don’t even golf but still plan to wear their cute outfits anyway. Winner gets a $300 gift card, I’d buy this fun green gingham dress with contrasting shorts if it were me!

ESTELLE GLASS: Estelle colored glass is another brand I’ve loved for awhile. I have the stemless glasses in the emerald shade and adore them so much! You should see them when the light hits. Winner of this giveaway gets a set of 6 Champagne Coups (because we are fancy-special) in the color of your choice!

OLIVE LANE: Most thoughtful new shopping site of the year award goes to Olive Lane. My friend Liz launched the site earlier this year and the love she puts into every piece she chooses for her home site shows. I really like how she integrates recipes and family content into the shop – kinda like a family friendly Goop. Winner will receive her favorite White Ruffle Collection consisting of the pie plate, casserole dish, oval plate, and pitcher!

TUCKERNUCK: What can I say about Tuckernuck that you don’t already know? Their products show up here on my blog so often that I should work there. It’s my favorite mix of party dresses and casual day outfits, extra special vacation pieces, and athletic wear, too. I’m always lusting over all the things (currently this shearling pullover). Winner gets a $500 to shop the site! I know :)

MARYSIA: Have you SEEN Marysia’s new Resort Collection? Oh my goodness it’s so cute!!! Marysia designs the coolest elevated suits and I own more of her designs than any other swimsuit brand. The winner of this giveaway will receive the new Canyon Point Maillot in black blossom flower print from the new collection!

THE TINY TASSEL: If you live in Charleston then you’ve probably been to Mimi’s shop The Tiny Tassel (don’t worry they’re online, too!). She started with earrings and her brand has grown into apparel and more, and her shop carries so many great giftable items and brands! Winner will receive a $250 gift card to shop!

DEAR KEATON: Ending on a real high note here because Dear Keaton has contributed a $500 gift card to their website, which I also spend an embarrassing amount of time browsing.

The last few days have a been a big wake up call for not only me, but for the world. Black Lives Matter, and while I’ve always felt this way, I was not a good ally. As life moves forward I don’t want to change the subject, I want the subject to be a part of my every-day actions. I want to live more inclusively. And here on the blog I want to share more inclusively. In the past I didn’t do enough, and I want to do better for my family, my community surrounding me, and for my online community as well. This blog is not an “important site” by any means – it’s not curing cancer or saving lives and I am not an expert on anything. It’s a place for us to discover pretty things. But in purposefully sharing more black and minority owned brands, I hope to make it a more inclusive and supportive place for all of us.

One thing that I’m doing is diversifying my social media feed, diversifying what shows I’m watching, diversifying what I’m reading. Harder to do, I want to diversity my friendships. Sure I have black friends, but I live a pretty white Charleston life. It’s a stark difference to our much more diverse relationships (both social and professional) that we have on Harbour Island, Bahamas. It’s never felt intentional, but it’s messed up nonetheless. Since sharing is what we do around here, I just wanted to share the thoughts above (thank you for reading), and I want to highlight a few black owned brands/business/creators that I think you’ll love.

The Tiny Tassel – Mimi Striplin started out making hand-made tassel jewelry, and her website now also carries a whole assortment of fun pieces! Mimi is also part owner in the Cannonborough Collective, a popular shop downtown Charleston!

A Plus Tees – Angell Troxler is a teacher at my kid’s school (she’s the one that every kid hopes to get). Her t-shirt line is popular with the students and parents alike. I think this i am > i was tee is quite fitting.

Chloe Digital – Chloe Watts and her digital team have been my website experts for over 5 years now. They offer 24/7 support when you need it, and can do anything for your blog that you need. She’s supportive, uplifting, kind, talented, and inspiring all rolled into one.

Estelle Colored Glass – I discovered Stephanie Hall’s glassware line maybe two months and was immediately drawn in! The rainbow of colors and pretty photography make me want to start drinking wine so that I can have a good excuse to fill my shelves. She’s a Charleston business, too!

Pip Pip Hooray Shop – I just recently featured Jen Rogers in my Sohp Shop x Easter Basket Mom Picks blog post, she’s one of my favorite accounts to follow on instagram and has the most upbeat and beautiful feed. Her kid’s shop is pretty darn cute, too!

#blackAF – Josh and I binged this show a month or two ago and it was seriously so good. Add it to your list!

Such A Fun Age – I read this book by Kiley Reid last year and it’s the kind of book that really makes you think, while being really fun to read at the same time. Highly recommend it.

The Sweet Life of Bean – 8 year old Bean Ervin is one of my favorite accounts on instagram. We met her a couple of years ago when she came to Charleston and we all had lunch downtown. Lilly and I love keeping up with all the good things Bean and her family are doing in Charlotte.

Salt & Stem Flower Truck – A Wondering Flower Truck used in Charleston by Dani and her husband Mac. I mean how cute is that?! She comes us with the most beautiful bouquets! I was just introduced to her account this week and am so glad someone shared it.

Kenesha Sneed – Tactile Matter is one of my favorite artist accounts to follow. Kenesha’s artwork is beautiful, just like she is.

From Sir With Love – A Sirmantha Ellison founded this gift and stationary shop in Atlanta. Her shopping site is not only beautiful and stocked with really great finds, but she specializes in custom gift design – great for weddings, conferences, and guests!

Venita Aspen – Last but not least, my hard working and adorable friend Venita. She basically does it all – modeling, producing, traveling. After seeing her on instagram I messaged her in July of 2016 (I just searched my email to confirm, I don’t normally know dates like this ha) to meet up for dinner or drinks to connect. She was as infectious in person as she was over instagram. Reaching out for blind friend-dates is something that I will make happen more often in the future.
