Emily McCarthy: Where Southern Charm Meets Colorful Celebration
Every city has its crown jewel, a place that doesn’t just sell you things but invites you into a lifestyle. For me, in Savannah, that jewel is Emily McCarthy. And let me tell you: whether I’m strolling through the store on a sunny Savannah afternoon or ordering online from New York when I can’t make it home, Emily McCarthy is my go-to for all things fabulous, festive, and full of personality.
This isn’t just a boutique. It’s a playground of color, a temple of taste, and now (pinch me) a wine shop and bar. Yes, you can literally sip, shop, and sparkle your way through the experience, meet a friend, plan an event, or just raise a glass while browsing napkins, dresses, or cocktail cups that will absolutely transform your table.
Fashion That Fits Like a Dream
Emily McCarthy has perfected the art of making you feel like the best-dressed woman in the room without ever trying too hard. Case in point: my all-time favorite, the Georgia Dress. I own it in multiple colors because once you slip it on, you’ll never look back. It hugs in the right places, flatters every angle, and feels like it was tailored just for you. My current obsession? The Georgia Dress in Green Tonal Monogram. A timeless Southern staple reimagined with Emily’s signature flair. I just picked one up while here in Savannah and she is flying home with me to New York!
Check out some of my favorite chic separates like the Hatti Tank in White Sand, the elegant Orchid Top in Birch, or the playful Paisley Pant in Bellamy Palm. Every piece is versatile enough for brunch in Savannah, cocktails in New York, or a backyard soirée under twinkling lights.
The Party Never Starts Without Emily
If you’ve ever been to our home, you know: the party staples come straight from Emily McCarthy. Her signature Savannah Crest collection is the heart of our entertaining game, and trust me, guests notice.
Savannah Crest Guest Towel Set – The finishing touch in our powder room. Everyone comments. Everyone.
Savannah Crest Stadium Cups – Because a Southern girl still loves her cup collection. Sorry, not sorry.
Savannah Crest Foam Cups – Call me sentimental, but these are the heartbeat of our bar setups. Foam cups will never go out of style. I take them with me all the time .
Savannah Crest Cocktail Napkins – Gold, white, and totally unforgettable.
Throw in a chic Ice Bucket in Classic Spot Cheetah and a cozy Lady Leopard Minky Blanketfor those nights when the party lingers long past midnight and the temp is a little cooler on the veranda, and you’ve got yourself the Emily effect.
A Colorful Life, One Purchase at a Time
Emily McCarthy is more than a store, it’s a lifestyle rooted in Southern hospitality and reimagined for the modern hostess. Every piece, whether a party staple or a wardrobe classic, is created with the same philosophy: bold joy, thoughtful design, and a wink of fun.
It’s no wonder I shop there every time I’m in Savannah. And when I can’t? Thank heavens for online ordering. Packages arrive in New York like little bursts of sunshine, reminding me that wherever I am, a touch of Savannah is never too far away.
So here’s my advice: next time you’re in Savannah, make Emily McCarthy your first stop. Stay for the wine, stay for the conversation, stay for the magic. And if you can’t make it? Shop online, pour a glass at home, and let Emily bring the party to you.
Because life’s too short for boring napkins, bad dresses, or plain cups.
Color, charm, cocktails, and couture — Emily McCarthy truly has it all.
