Southern Skyline NYE Grand Ball 2018

As 2017 came to an close, we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than to attend the  New Years Ball. We popped champagne, put on our fur, and hit the dance floor.

Walking down the red carpet, this party was packed with celebs and concerts, from Southern Charm to Cheat Codes. From front row to VIP, the Meridian was the place to be in Charlotte, N.C.

As the clock stroke 12, the band started to jam, the crowd made it rain, and we were covered in champagne.

This year was a wild ride, but we couldn’t wait to go out with a bang! And what better way to ring in the New Year than with 4,000 of your closest friends?

Thankful for Family

The Angel family all started here, in Rock Hill South Carolina. Over the years, my sisters have moved and traveled up and down the coast. I am so thankful that over the holidays, no matter how busy we become, we always find our way back home.

These two girls are my heart and soul, Jana and Savannah. We may not see each other often, but when we do, the Angel girls are unstoppable. Being the second born, I am always caught in the ‘middle’ but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I am grateful for so much this year. This was the first time I could stay home through the holidays and I am so happy to spend it with everyone I love, from my parents to my puppies. Enjoying home-cooked meals and catching up with my grandmother are times I treasure. I can’t wait to come back for Christmas!

I’ve got to say… it’s not fall without football! And when I heard the tigers and the wolfpack (two of my favorite teams) were playing each other, I was ready to run to Raleigh. You see, my dad played basketball for Clemson and my older sister played volleyball for N.C. State, so with all these family ties, we couldn’t resist bringing the whole ‘pack’ to the game.

We had the best morning brunching and boozing. Even if we lose the game we always win the tailgate. My sisters and I popped a few bottles and poured some mimosas and headed to join our crew at Lambda Chi Alpha. The wolfpack definitely knows how to party so it was tough to leave the tailgate.

Once we got to the game, I was in awe. The stands were sold out and the crowd was like no other. I couldn’t wait to root for my two favorite teams. This has to be the best way to spend the day: with family, friends, and football. Talk about a win- win!

Thanksgiving on the Rocks

Having moved farther away from home, the holidays have become even more special this season. Luckily, I had just 48 hours to hop down to my hometown just in time for some family fun!

I couldn’t wait to join my loved ones at the lake. It was so great to see my sisters and parents, but no trip would be complete without my puppies! My mom proudly showed off her new water features, as more family trickled in.

After everyone’s arrival, we were all treated to a fabulous lakeside lunch. I was thankful to share some sweet tea and sunshine with my sisters. The highlight was listening to my Gramie’s silly stories as the sun set.

And no great day is complete without the perfect ensemble. I stayed warm on this windy day, outfitted in my Burberry poncho and my luxe leather accessories gidled with gold accents. What a wonderful time to wish you all Happy Fall!
