Something look different?! Here’s a hint… Carolina Charm got a facelift! Over the past few months my bestie Laura has been designing my new look and I couldn’t be happier with it. I love how simple and clean the header is, the new navigation bar, the fonts, the colors — the everything! Isn’t she talented? …
