About This Issue
Romance is in full bloom, marked by numerous couples along the Coast getting engaged during this “ring season.” As we eagerly anticipate Valentine’s Day, the air is filled with love and excitement. It’s a time that exudes romance!
Every February, South Mississippi Living embraces the spirit of love with an issue dedicated to Romance & Weddings. As a fervent admirer of love stories, I find myself looking forward to this edition throughout the year. Within this segment, you’ll discover a spectrum of content ranging from wedding inspiration to insights from experts. Additionally, there’s a practical checklist to guide you through the essential tasks before uttering those magical words, “I do!”
This year, we are excited to bring you our new beauty and fashion issue: The Look Book. The goal of this special section is to help you define your signature style, unleash your inner beauty, and embrace the latest trends in fashion. From expert tips on hair, makeup, and skincare to showcasing curated fashion looks from businesses across the Coast, this issue is all about getting “The Look.”
Special thanks to our sponsors in both sections, many of whom are featured on this month’s cover. From the venue, Oak Crest Mansion Inn, and jewelry provided by our friends at Pav & Broome to the clothing by Tribe Boutique and hair and makeup provided by
the model herself, Amber Lord, owner of the newly rebranded Haus of Locks, we could not have done this without you. Additional thanks to our amazing many advertisers who made this edition possible, as well as the South Mississippi Living staff and contributors for all their hard work pulling this issue together.
Closing out this issue, Sara Reymond, owner of Sara Kate Boutique, shares a bit about her experience in the retail industry, as well as her thoughts on trends we’ll be seeing in 2024!
