LIFESTYLE LETTER

Time to turn up the STYLE… Hey Neighbors, Around here, we believe style isn’t just about what you wear—it’s how you live, work, relax, and roll. First up, we’re cruising in serious style with Wade Murrell of Lux Auto Detailing, Tint & Wraps. His custom vehicle wraps are bold, eye-catching, and smart; because nothing says “boss move” like turning your ride into a rolling billboard. Next, we’re glowing with the fabulous ladies of Island Glow. This luxury mobile spray tan biz brings a flawless, sun-kissed look right to your door…no sun, no problem. With Labor Day upon us, we’ve rounded up five local beach must-haves you won’t want to hit the sand without. Then it’s off to the serene new aesthetic center of Dr. Carrie Morris, where beauty meets science in the most coastal-chic setting. Trust us, you’re going to want a consult. We also visited the latest install from SWAG Window Coverings. Their Lutron smart shades open and close protecting your space from harsh light while keeping your views front and center. Keeps your home secure and cool while you’re out living that beach life. And of course, football fans, we didn’t forget you. We’re spotlighting SEC tailgating styles that are just as bold as your team spirit, thanks to the trend-savvy crew at Emporium@C. So whether you’re beach-bound, bleacher-ready, or just soaking up the coastal lifestyle, this issue is full of ways to do it in serious style. Happy Labor Day from all of us at Gulf Coast City Lifestyle. Thank you for inviting us into your homes and hearts. Love local. Live local. Spend local. Until next month…

As the seasons shift, so do our aesthetic needs, especially when it comes to window treatments. I recently caught up with Alex and Phil from SWAG Window Designs for our Style issue, and we explored how window dressings play a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere of our homes. Many people underestimate the impact that the right window treatments can have on a room’s mood. Whether you’re looking to enhance your space or keep things understated, the right choices can make all the difference. During our conversation, we discussed the changing styles and trends in window design. One prominent trend is the increasing demand for automation in window treatments. Homeowners are seeking smart solutions that combine convenience with style, allowing them to control light and privacy effortlessly. This modern touch not only enhances the functionality of a home but also aligns with contemporary living. Color palettes have also evolved with the seasons. Coastal hues

are making waves, bringing a fresh and airy vibe to interiors. Light-colored woods and grass weaves are particularly favored for their natural look, harmonizing beautifully with various decor styles. These materials add warmth and create a tranquil environment that invites relaxation. The team at SWAG Window Designs excels in assisting clients at any stage of their project. Whether you’re building a new home or remodeling an existing space, they prioritize thoughtful consideration of every detail. Their collaborative approach such as this custom-built home by Mark Keel Construction, fosters a smooth experience, with designers and installers working hand-in-hand to bring your vision to life. SWAG is known for its innovative designs and reliable installations. Their strong reputation stems from consistently exceeding client expectations, and their impressive portfolio showcases the quality and creativity they bring to every project. CONTINUED >

In a world where sun safety is essential, the team behind Island Glow has mastered the art of achieving the perfect glow without the harmful effects of UV exposure. Owned by Kaitlin Rodgers and powered by her expert team members Jill Chance and Leigh Ray, Island Glow has become Baldwin County’s go-to mobile spray tanning service. Whether it’s for a wedding, holiday function, vacation, or just to feel fabulous for everyday life, Island Glow delivers natural-looking, confidence-boosting tans straight to their clients’ doors. Their fully mobile service eliminates the need to visit a salon, no stress, no smudging, no waiting. Instead, clients relax in the comfort of home while the Island Glow team brings the glow to them. It’s convenience and luxury in one sunless session. One of the things that sets Island Glow apart is their personalized approach. Kaitlin, Jill, and Leigh know that no two skin tones are the same, and each tan is carefully customized to complement the client’s natural undertones. With their expert color matching and attention to detail, every client walks away with a flawless, sun-kissed finish that enhances their beauty, not masks it. And the benefits go far beyond the glow. Traditional tanning methods like sunbathing or tanning beds can lead to premature aging, sun damage, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Island Glow
