Favorite spot in Savannah:
That’s tough! I saw so much, so quickly. Everything is beautiful and magical there, not unlike New Orleans. If I had to pick, it might be Dept. 7 East because I got to pause for a moment to appreciate Savannah before the wedding weekend. The cold rosé, great company, and Croque with pimento cheese was a perfect intro to Savannah.

I declared Brandon the “best dressed wedding guest” at this wedding.

Favorite Atlanta date spot:
Him: JCT. It’s got everything you need – great atmosphere, a patio bar upstairs, supper downstairs, and we can walk home…
Her: Alfredo’s on Cheshire Bridge. The place is like a time capsule into early ’80s Italian-American nostalgia, complete with endless framed Godfather-esque headshots and various imperial bottles of house reds in the corner of each booth. The Veal Picata is perfect. It’s cheesy, but still romantic. We go once a month.

Favorite cocktail from the latest Charleston trip:
The Fresa Fresh from The Macintosh – Ambrose Farm’s Strawberries, gin, Lillet Rose, and Heavenly Feijoa. I’ll be trying really hard to recreate it as best as I can this summer and when I do, I’ll feature it here.

What you loved most about your first visit to Charleston:
I loved Charleston because it’s a city centered around being outside. Every porch, courtyard, beachfront, sidewalk, and bike path invites you to experience life in the great outdoors. After the longest winter the south has seen in a long time, it was the perfect weekend.

Why you started Onward Reserve:
We wanted to provide one destination where all of our favorite brands could be shopped. We also wanted to provide a clean and convenient online destination to shop these brands. We have always had an interest in the stories behind the brands and we are thrilled to be our customers trusted advisor as we curate gifts and apparel for the Onward Reserve lifestyle.
Favorite thing about the Atlanta shop:
We were able to use some brick that was re-claimed from an old Neel Reid building in downtown Atlanta to line the walls. This brings in some local history and also helps to bring character to our newest retail home.
What’s next for the company:
We are excited to be opening in Charlotte, North Carolina in June. We are already under construction and will be open by the end of June.

Favorite southern designer:
Sid Mashburn. To me, Sid brings out the best of both worlds in design – Southern and Italian. Everything he designs is really classic and effortless. He has everything from the basics to Italian made suits, both of which you can wear today and ten years down the road and it will still be relevant. Another reason he’s my favorite southern designer is because he also pulls a lot of his style from Gianni Angelli, who is a personal style icon for me along with his grandson Lapo Elkann.
