Keeping Up With King Street

Belk is coming back to King Street. Susan McWatters, VP and Regional Store Manager at Belk announced yesterday that the company will open a pop-up at 473 King Street (formerly Ellington Boutique) March 5th, showcasing their new Crown and Ivy label. The line features women's clothing, accessories and home decor. Belk will have a tent in Marion Square during Charleston Fashion Week, and will be featured in the Thursday March 17 runway show. The pop-up store is expected to close March 29, but we’re hoping they’ll bloom where they are planted, and stay with us.

Mead is a delicious wine made from honey. It’s believed to be the oldest alcoholic beverage in the world, and picks up the characteristics of the variety and region of its honey source. According to Eater, the number of meaderies in the US has more than doubled in the last three years, making mead one of the fastest growing alcoholic beverage categories in the US. Enter our local bee visionary, Ted Dennard, whose new Savannah Bee Company location at 270 King Street will bring mead to Charleston. Taste it, love it, take it home. The store will be as beautiful as it’s former Lower King Street location, and larger.

Explore Shen Lewis's Pop Art at The Art Mecca of Charleston

Pictured here is Shen Lewis's new pop art piece, "Bob Dylan."

Shen began her career in her teens while living in the culturally and artistically diverse Silicon Valley. Being labeled with the name “ShenShen210″, she first expressed herself as a street artist, cans of spray paint in hand, working on graffiti covered walls and transforming them into eye-catching works of art. Her motivation was simple: to take something negative and turn it into something beautiful and inspiring.

Shen soon exchanged her cans of spray paint for the airbrush, where she quickly gained international attention, being written about and featured multiple times in art magazines such as Airbrush Action Magazine and being named as one of the nation’s “Top 10″ airbrush talents.

Since those early years, Shen has been experimenting with many different types of media and, drawing from her wealth of technical and experiential knowledge, has created a realistic pop art style that can be described as beautiful and carefree. Her works may be seen in the homes of Don Cheadle, Jack Nicholson, Carroll Shelby, Liza Minelli, and Clint Eastwood to name a few.
