Entourage Clothing & Gifts – New Boutique in Clemson

Happy Tuesday ladies!

We are excited to introduce you to our newest sponsor – Entourage Clothing & Gifts – a brand new boutique opening up in downtown Clemson next month (July 8th to be exact). The boutique offers adorable, trendy styles at super, affordable prices.

Entourage actually started in Athens, GA – the owners realized that Georgia girls didn’t have a store to shop at for cute clothes within their budgets. They realized that not only did Georgia girls need affordable clothes, but needed to get more for their money – not just one dress.

Entourage in Athens was so successful, that they decided to expand to Clemson and provide the same great, affordable styles for Clemson Girls! All dresses are under $42, earrings under $10, and necklaces under $18. The boutique also carries the newest styles in shoes, belts, and purses. They are consistently updating with new styles – almost daily!

The boutique will also be specializing in Clemson gameday outfits! They are even making their own line exclusive to Clemson. So make sure you add Entourage Clothing & Gifts to your orange and purple shopping stops. We love the orange and purple styles they have already posted, and we cannot wait until they open so we can see more!

Entourage Clothing & Gifts will be conveniently located in Clemson Centre downtown, next to the Little Caesars. The grand opening is next month, but you can already follow them on Facebook and get a sneak peek at the amazing styles they will be carrying and start your wish list now. You can also visit them online and start shopping right away!

Clemson Flowers

Hi! I'm Emily :) I moved to Clemson in 2000 for school, fell in love with the people and the town, and spent 10 amazing years in the town we all love that so many call our home away from home. This spring I am living in an apartment in Chattanooga, TN, and will be moving into my first house this winter!! I have spent A LOT of time planning for next year's garden, and I'd like to share some of the plants & flowers I've found that make me think of Clemson.

I've divided this into two groups. Plants I think would make nice Clemson themed gardens, and fall blooming plants that would make for great cut flowers to take to tailgates or have around for football parties. I've linked to websites that give what I consider to be good plant info sources - ideal growing conditions, planting instructions, bloom times etc.

Enjoy!

Spring & Summer Blooms

Spring Blue Tulips (mixed) & Flamenco Oriental Poppy *

Incrediball Hydrangea & Mrs. Cholmendley Clematis

Small Globe Thistle & Giant Persian Allium

Common Orange Tiger Lily & Double Tiger Lily

Ammi Majus, Queen Anne's Lace & Asclepias, Butterfly Weed

Morning glories & petunias are also common and easy to grow annuals that come in great purple and white combinations that can be mixed with orange plants of different heights for a really pretty effect!

*I just got some of the poppies, and I can't wait to see how they do!

Football Season Blooms

Zinnia, Zahara Double Fire & Blue Fragrant Lavender


Purple Cone Flower & Orange Cone Flower

Apricot Princess Rose & Tiara Double Flowered Tall PhloxPhlox

Mammoth Mum Bronze Daisy & Exploded Pumpkin Daylily

I think a lot of these flowers can be mixed & tied together in simple mason jar arrangements with a little ribbon for easy to transport tailgate flowers.

I hope you've enjoyed these pictures as much as I do. As long as you remember to water, we still have a few good weeks of planting time. If you have any favorite Clemson flowers, please let me know. I'm still looking for fun things to plant next spring :) Happy Gardening!!
