If you live in Charlotte or have visited then you know it is impossible not to fall in love with this city. I feel blessed to call Charlotte home for attributes like beautiful weather, friendly people, eclectic shopping, incredible food and a mix of big city and gorgeous green spaces. So I was excited to team up with Marriott to tell you about their #DesignCharlotte campaign highlighting what makes Charlotte such a captivating and fun destination. Plus you can win a weekend stay + airfare to anywhere in the country just by sharing your photos of Charlotte on Instagram!

Marriott chose the tag #DesignCharlotte because the photos you take showcase how you would personally design your perfect visit. So for example, since I am a nut for fitness many of my photos reflect the health and wholefood living of the city. Here are some of my shots (click on any of the photos to take you to the #DesignCharlotte landing page):

Marriott has just started renovations of the Charlotte Marriott Center City and this location will be the gold standard for the Marriott brand and the future of travel. One of the main reasons they choose Charlotte as their renovation roll-out location is because it is a city with an exciting, hip vibe that appeals to young professionals and families alike. Stay tuned as I post on the transformation of the hotel within the next few months. You can also follow my #DesignCharlotte pics on my Instagram or check out the Instagram of Charlotte Marriott City Center as well as the official contest landing page, which shows all of the photography submitted to date. xx CC
