Green Fashionista: Charleston, SC by Jenn

Hey Friends of Kate!

My name is Jenn & I'm the voice behind the Party of One.

You can find me over there {almost} everyday rambling about SOMETHING...it's your guess as good as mine as to what I'll be talking about that day!

I'm so, so, SO excited to be guest posting for Kate this week while she's on vacation! Not gonna lie...I'm a little jealous of her and her vacay BUT I'm glad that I get to spend today with all of y'all!

When Kate asked me to guest post about my favorite vacation spots...I instantly knew where I was going to post about!

It's nowhere exotic, tropical or far away (at least not from me) but it's one of my most favorite places that I've ever been.

Lovely, southern & peaceful...Charleston, South Carolina!

Sadly, I haven't been able to make it to Charleston in several years but as soon as I get a chance- I'm getting to that city right away!

This fun little city has SO MUCH TO DO and you should try to do it all!

I figured I'd share with y'all some of my favorite places to see, shop, eat & drink while you're in town!

1) Accommodations

I'd HIGHLY recommend staying in a one of the 'historic' inns in the city. You'll be steps to downtown & it's always a fun {if not completely entertaining} experience!

The first place I ever stayed in Charleston. Good Lord, it was an experience but a fun experience.

(I'll never drink Sherry again after the Sherry in the lobby at this place, btw. Long story but I was 20...eager to get my hands on any alcohol I could and it was just not pretty!)

2) You MUST go shopping on King Street!

There is SO MUCH shopping to be done here! So many stores from big name chains to specialty boutiques...you'll find everything you want on King Street.

From high end boutiques to affordable shops, you'll certainly find something in your price range on this street!

Shopping on King Street.

I can't even believe that this picture was almost 5 years ago! Seesh.

3) Indulge in AMAZING food & drink!

Seafood, Soul Food, Barbecue...No matter what kind of food you're looking for- you'll find it in Charleston!

My personal favorites?! Oh, of course!

AMAZING cupcakes at Cupcake!

Oysters to die for at Pearlz! They have some pretty amazing cocktails, too!

Hominy Grill for the BEST brunch, shrimp & grits and more!

SO MANY MORE places that I could suggest you go to for meals. Seriously, Charleston has THE BEST eats. Don't worry though, you'll walk it all off shopping on King Street!

4) Visit the City Market

If you're in town on a Saturday- you must stop by the City Market! So much goodness here.
