Colors of Charleston.















     On almost every street that you go down in Charleston, there are colored buildings upon colored buildings. They can contain anything from homes to hotels to restaurants to stores, but the one thing that they all have in common are the bright and beautiful exteriors. 

     
     Charleston's most famous colored street is Rainbow Row. With the tightly packed schedule that The Blog Societies Conference brought forth (early mornings and late nights), during the small bit of free time that we had one afternoon, I opted for a nap instead of venturing to see this famous street with my conference roommates. They got some fantastic photos at Rainbow Row, but I just know that the fact I didn't get to see it means that it's just an excuse to return to Charleston soon! ;-) The good news though is that the whole city is definitely full of beautiful buildings, not just that one iconic street! These pictures were taken in front of the Mills House Wyndham Grand Hotel , which was just a few blocks over from our stay at the Belmond Charleston Place. I was just obsessed with the pretty pink walls of the hotel, and I thought it was the perfect compliment to this bright and fun sundress. 

     I wore this dress for the final day of TBSCon, which had workshops and a closing luncheon. I tried to wear outfits during all days of TBCon that I felt really showed off my blog, brand, and personal style, and this dress definitely fit the bill! I am all about bright and fun colors, and pairing shades of blue and pink together always makes for one of my favorite color combinations. I purchased this dress at a local Charlotte boutique, but here is a similar one from the same brand


   
     There was a professional photographer at TBSCon who captured photographs of all of the bloggers throughout the weekend. As soon as those photos are shared, I'll share a full conference recap! Stay tuned next week in the meantime to see another outfit that I wore while at the conference. 


    And be sure that you're following me on social media (@miss_alk on Instagram and Snapchat) because one of my blogger besties is coming to visit me this weekend, and the August InfluenceHer Blogger Network North Carolina meet-up is also happening! Such a fun weekend ahead- much needed after a busy week!

  4. I adore geometric pieces – whether it's clothes, accessories or home decor. I once painted an oversize canvas with a similar pattern; it still hangs in our dining room.

    Charleston looks charming. XO

  11. Charleston seems like the perfect place to take pictures! I'm looking forward to reading your recap post so I can live vicariously through you, lol. Someday I hope I can attend the conference but I'm slightly intimidated.
