A Nashville native, Lottie is a product of the city's modern boom. After graduating from Vanderbilt and a brief, ill-fated stint in PR in New York, she returned home to launch a buzzy lifestyle blog that quickly became the go-to source for the city's social set. Her column, 'The Veranda Report,' was picked up by a local magazine, where her candid commentary on everything from charity galas to the politics of bridal registries earned her a loyal following. At Porch and Press, Lottie expands her beat to cover the entire Southern social circuit with her signature blend of affection and irreverence.
