This weekend, sink your teeth into Charlotte’s best burgers during the last days of CLT Burger Week, have drinks in the garden at Duke Mansion, jam out to live music, dance your heart out at a silent disco party, channel your inner sweet tooth with Dessert Wars, and much more.

Take some time to celebrate the last days of Summer and Back-to-School season with a full day of fun with your daughter(s) in SouthPark, home of the QC’s most elegant options for shopping, beauty, brunch and ladies-who-lunch. After all, you both deserve it after our long hot summer, and you won’t have these days together […]

Since North Carolina is home to almost 200 wineries we’ve decided that we, the scoop girls, should go on and visit each and every one this year, as all are accessible by car from the QC. It’s not like we have anything else to do. Some of our favorites are within a couple of hours […]

There have been times we’ve stayed at the […]

We’ve been shopping KK Bloom on Selwyn Ave for as long as we’ve been doing ‘scoop’ and we still ALWAYS find something to love there.

What’s hot and what’s not – especially when it comes to real estate is best assessed by an expert, so, we did a […]

Know someone heading off to University this month? Or the proud parents? The Buttercup in Myers Park is super stocked with all the school spirit and recruitment fun you need to give them a little encouragement and cuteness. Here’s what we shopped there this week – swing by frequently as the merch is constantly updating. […]

It’s going to cool off at some point, surely. Time to sign up for some Fall 2023 Walks & Road Races around town ~ great fitness goals, great way to build community, and often great ways to support local charities. Here are over 20 events to join in to this year (organized by date): Yiasou […]

We know this week has been dedicated to all things Beyoncé (we can’t wait to see the Queen in the Queen City!), but there’s still so much to do this weekend. From a fabulous time at North Corner Haven’s wedding open house to an aerial show benefiting a good cause, local markets to shop, live […]

ICYMI in our recent articles, North Corner Haven is a gorgeous event venue just about an hour’s drive from Charlotte, tucked away in a tranquil corner of the Carolinas, with 625 acres of forest, pasture, and ponds offering unique and luxe farm-based events. There are options for the small and intimate ceremony to the sizable event, […]
