As some of y'all know, I am a monthly contributor to The Southern C: The Southern Coterie co·te·rie/ˈkōtərē/ is a community of friends with common and similar interests – in this case, the South. The Southern C is currently working on a new website for The Southern C that will launch on Monday July 23!

Once the site is up and running, have a chance to win a vacation to the Watercolor Resort in Santa Rosa Florida just by joining the new Southern C. Winners will be chosen Labor Day so don't forget to start your profile to be in the running for a vacay!

In the meantime check out The Southern C tumbler page. Here you will find thoughtful posts by writers from all over the South- with subjects ranging from fashion to culture, and cocktails to travel guides. If it's about the South...you'll find it there.

Happy Friday y'all!

Raised in the South with a love of Spanish moss, craftsman bungalows and front porches, I am Emily Hines, writer, dreamer and beer drinker. You can find me strolling down a century old city block snapping iPhone photos of colorful facades and searching for flea market treasures.

With my burly husband Ryan, I enjoy searching for edible mushrooms to escape the hum of the city. He proudly donned the beard and man bun way before it reached the masses – a critical point he’ll remind you of whenever he sees an Urban Outfitters.

Dog mom to two wild black lab pups: Junebug, in honor of the summer beetles she’d follow around as a puppy and Lula, my swimmer who was named after the Tallulah river in Georgia. Both constant companions.

My traveling goal is to find the hidden gems. There are stories everywhere, you just have to find them. Let’s hit the road.
