On the Go with Sarah Hamlin Hastings
What is your favorite weekend getaway?
If it’s to relax and recharge, it is so easy
to head out to Kiawah for a night at the
Sanctuary. It is so close yet you feel as
if you are a world away. But if I want
to be inspired, there is nothing better
than immersing myself in the pulsating madness of New York City. I go at
least twice a year…just because.

What is your go-to hostess gift?

I love a good bottle of wine but I prefer
to give fresh flowers or a nice plant
that I will either arrange or re-pot in

a vintage vase or planter. It’s fun to
collect the vessels and it makes for an
interesting and practical gift.
Do you have a style icon?
It would be a cross between Audrey
Hepburn and Gwen Stefani. Is that
weird? And as far as interiors go,
I appreciate the same dichotomy: I
love the classicism of the likes of Billy
Baldwin and Mark Hampton, but I am
also drawn to those who dare to push
the envelope such as Kelly Wearstler,
Miles Redd and Alison Spear.
Favorite place to shop in Charleston?
For antiques and vintage finds, my
first stop is John Pope Antiques or
Arsenal Designed (depending on
what I am in the market for). John
has a wonderfully eclectic selection of
antique furniture and little curiosities
that give a room some personality.
Arsenal is a great little shop. It specializes in industrial antiques from
Europe. Each piece in the shop seems
to have its own wonderful story.
