FFG Travels: Zero George Street, Charleston

Charleston is a magical place. And yes, I'm biased as I'm a Southern girl. Give me a week in Charleston and I'm one with the world, right back where I belong. But, Charleston isn't a town that only a Southern girl would appreciate, as is proven by the millions of tourists that make their way through the city every year. This is a place where old southern hospitality reigns supreme, where the comfort food is actually soul renewing food and the beauty of every passing cobblestone street will stop you dead in your tracks.

Ok, maybe that's a stretch too far but, it's every reason, wrapped up just there in that sentence, that I love winter. It's the season of comfort - comfort clothing, comfort foods and comfortable nights in! It's also a season where I find myself in a lot of trouble, when it comes to shopping.  I can't resist a chunky oversized knit. If there were a medication I could take to put this addiction to a stop, I would. When the cold sets in, my containers of knitwear come out and every season I find myself struggling for room in the closet to display my fashion security blankets. That's what...
