Liquid #1: Freckled Cold Brew (cold brew, local strawberries, vanilla simple syrup, lemon, cream) by @hexcoffee | these coffee mercenaries are the pop up triumvirate of caffeinated might, and if you don't sleep on it, they have waffles too! Here at @beer_growler 10-1 | photo by @thewhirlindervish #cltcoffee #weloveclt #earlybird #getdatworm
Solids #1-4: @thewhirlindervish specializes in process I refer to as "tactile branding": or creating things that are meant to be touched. In design, there are an endless number of methods to make something look real. It takes a special something extra to make it feel real: and I spend my days researching that magic. Which means I go out and touch as many things as possible, all the time. I am especially inspired by antique and mid century packaging, so whenever I need a fresh perspective I hit @sleepypoet antique mall to get my hands on some inspiration | photo by @thewhirlindervish #touchyfeely #weloveclt #antiquehunting #design #typehunting #designergonewild #touchallthethings #antiques #oldstuff #nonewstuff #nonewstuff #nonono
Kind of a solid, kind of a liquid: Stopped by the 2nd floor of @mccollcenter to see Charles Williams during Open Studio Saturday. This is just a teaser: photos do not do his pieces justice, the scale and detail must be witnessed in person. Come by and meet him as well as the other artists-in-residence between 12-4! | photo by @thewhirlindervish #cltarts #mccollcenter #artsyfartsy #openstudio #clt #weloveclt
Liquid #3 : a nice @lennyboybrewingco Elite Beet poured chilly from the tap at @okracharlotte : served by Charlotte's own steamy Dothraki look-alike Rob Simmons | photo by @thewhirlindervish #twinsies #GOT #gotGOT #weloveclt #kombucha #fermented
This girl always turns my world upside down : stopped by @gumbothestore to visit owner and crucial boss lady friend Alicia Roskind. I loved working with her on the incredible renovation of this #plazamidwood lifestyle store: if you haven't gotten in the mix yet : check it out! | photo by @thewhirlindervish #bosslady #watchoutworld #theGspot #yogalove #cltyoga
You and me both girl, you and me both. Stopped by Book Buyers, a great used book store in Plaza Midwood, and also home to my favorite sign in all of Charlotte. | photo by @thewhirlindervish #sassycat #notouchy #catsagainstcatcalls #weloveclt #hiddentreasure
Liquids #4-18 are happening at the @fillmorenc for Fillmore Craft Beer Sessions: don't miss out on this one: local breweries out the wazoo and they all wanna serve you 5-9! It's all you can drink, but don't be a dummy: call a @yellowcabclt | photo by @thewhirlindervish #fillmorecraftsessions #cltbeer #fermentions #weloveclt
We ran into our pals and screen slingers @inkfloyd with their @godsavethequeencity x @heistbrewery collaboration brew: get entered into a raffle for free #GSTQC tickets with any merch purchase. Woooooooorrrddd #fillmorecraftsessions #cltbeer #inkfloyd #collabro #babeswithink #cltmusic #coolstuff
Liquid #19 : Mango and Cash from @woodenrobotbrewery : Congratulations on a fabulous opening | photo by @thewhirlindervish #cltbeer #cheersclt #weloveclt #southend #charlottesgotalot
Alright guys, it's been real. Or about as real as it gets without being IRL. Closing the night out at my secret paradise @tikihideaway for the best dang Dark n' Stormy this town has to offer (and only 5 bucks a pop!). I love this city a lot, maybe too much, but I also go tons of places so if you want to follow with all my adventures near and far, catch me over at @thewhirlindervish : stay classy Charlotte! #weloveclt #iloveclt #weloverebecca #freakytiki
