This past weekend, ANGEL'S ENVY introduced its new summer campaign with a pickleball street festival, exclusive merch collab, and a celebrity exhibition match featuring model and brand partner Venita Aspen HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ANGEL'S ENVY® officially launched its summer-long Daycap campaign with a vibrant celebration in downtown Louisville. The Louisville Downtown Pickleball Street Festival, sponsored by ANGEL'S ENVY, invited fans to unwind with Peach Smash cocktails, community play, live music, and food. The event marked the debut of ANGEL'S ENVY's latest campaign, centered around the Daycap – a moment to pause, connect and toast an achievement. The brand recently released a new ad series featuring three narrative videos, each showcasing a different take on the Daycap occasion. Whether after a match or a meeting, the Daycap is that earned moment to gather with friends and raise a glass. The festival, hosted by Louisville Downtown Partnership in collaboration with Goodbounce Pickleball Yard, transformed Main Street in front of the ANGEL'S ENVY Distillery into an outdoor pickleball venue in the heart of downtown Louisville. Highlights included a celebrity exhibition match between ANGEL'S ENVY brand partner Venita Aspen (Bravo's Southern Charm) and WAVE Listens Live host Sean Baute, plus competitive tournaments, open play, and a Peach Smash bar serving the brand's signature summer cocktail. Guests also enjoyed exclusive merch, giveaways, photo opportunities, and a Daycap experience inside the ANGEL'S ENVY Distillery, complete with games, cocktails, and more. "I was so excited to team up with ANGEL'S ENVY," said Venita Aspen. "I've recently been exploring the world of bourbon, and style is at the heart of everything I do - so when I was approached for this project, it was an immediate yes! As a Charleston native who's worked with Short Court, a hometown favorite, this partnership alongside ANGEL'S ENVY felt like a natural fit. Seeing the community come together around pickleball, embrace the Daycap, and celebrate with friends in style — all while enjoying thoughtfully crafted bourbon cocktails like the Peach Smash— was the perfect way to kick off the summer." As part of the launch, ANGEL'S ENVY introduced a limited-edition pickleball capsule collection in partnership with Short Court, the Charleston-based pickleball apparel and equipment brand known for blending classic tennis aesthetics with a modern twist. The co-branded paddles and hats were designed for both on and off the court and are now available at ANGEL'S ENVY Distillery and online via "At Short Court, we've always embraced a 'play, then après' attitude, and we love Angel's Envy for their spirited take on our new favorite summer ritual: the Daycap, best enjoyed with a courtside Peach Smash cocktail," says Short Court co-founder Neil Thomson. "We're excited to partner with Short Court and our brand partner Venita Aspen to bring the Daycap occasion to life," said Gigi DaDan, General Manager of ANGEL'S ENVY. "Introducing the Daycap to consumers across the country allows us to celebrate that earned moment to relax and enjoy a well-crafted drink - an invitation to cap off the day and kick off the night.

Madison LeCroy on her excitement over becoming a girl mom after giving birth
Madison LeCroy is a (southern) mom of two. The reality star, 34, who welcomed her second child, daughter Teddi, with husband Brett Randle on Sunday, June 29, opened up about becoming a girl mom for the first time. LeCroy also shares son, Hudson, 12, with her ex-husband, Josh Hughes. 8 Madison LeCroy poses with son Hudson and daughter Teddi. Madison LeCroy 'I would say, obviously, I've experienced the boy mom and it's a true thing, so I'm super excited to be a girl mom for the first time,' she exclusively told The Post on Wednesday, just three days after giving birth. 'Everything's pink and girly. I'm already just having such a blast,' LeCroy gushed. 'So I know it's just going to get better each day. I didn't think I was going to get both, to be honest. So I'm very lucky to be able to experience it.' 8 Madison LeCroy with her husband Brett before giving birth. Madison LeCroy Hudson, meanwhile, couldn't be happier to welcome a little sibling into their family. 'Honestly, at first I was a little worried he was going to be jealous,' LeCroy confessed. 'But, of course, he's just taken on the role where he's almost a little bit more protective than me already. So I am happy to see it. And I know he's going to be the best big brother ever. She's very lucky to have him.' Through it all, the 'Southern Charm' star has Randle, whom she tied the knot with in 2022, by her side. 'Not that he ever told me 'no' anyways, but he's definitely not told me 'no' in the past eight or nine months,' she shared. 'Anything I want or we need, he's on top of it. He's been being there for me and doing things without me even having to ask. I know I picked the right one when you end up expecting a child with them and you realize how it's going to be. I definitely feel like I hit the lottery with that.' 8 Brett Randle holds his newborn daughter. Madison LeCroy LeCroy underwent a C-section at 34 weeks, but despite going into labor early, she was ready to enter the hospital at any moment. 'I had full glam, so I made sure to have a blowout and I made sure to have light, fresh face of makeup, just for pictures' sake,' she recalled. 'I definitely think that for me, good hair and good makeup is all I can do for now.' LeCroy also touched on the best piece of motherhood advice she's received, and it came from someone very special to her: her late father Ted LeCroy, who died in 2023. 8 Madison LeCroy poses with her baby bump. Madison Lecroy/Instagram 'Just have grace for yourself,' LeCroy stated. 'Obviously, when it comes to your children, let them be individually who they are going to be and don't try to live through them too much. My dad would always say, 'Don't kill their spirit.' Whether that means they're a little unhinged or not just let them be who they're going to be. I'm definitely going to take that into consideration.' Fans can expect to see the former hairstylist step into her new role as mom-of-two on the next season of 'Southern Charm.' As for who from the cast was supportive throughout LeCroy's pregnancy, the influencer shouted out her close besties. 8 Madison LeCroy shows off her baby bump. Madison Lecroy/Instagram 'The girls have always been there for me,' she expressed. 'So I would say Venita [Aspen] has always been there. Rodrigo [Reyes] and Salley [Carson], of course. So everyone's been pretty, pretty great.' On Thursday, LeCroy opened up about her birth experience while talking to US Weekly. 'I was in labor for 48 hours basically [because] my water broke at home,' she recounted. 8 Madison LeCroy with her husband and son. Instagram LeCroy added that she began going into labor at 2:30 a.m. after being out at a concert for her mom's birthday. At the time, Randle, who is a firefighter, was at work in California. 'I ran upstairs, and I was like, 'Mom, I don't have anything packed,'' LeCroy said. 'It was funny 'cause me and her both were like in my closet trying to pick out what we were gonna wear to the hospital.' 'We kind of prolonged the labor, and Brett got here and then we waited another day and had the C-section, and there she was five minutes later.' 8 Madison LeCroy. Madison Lecroy/Instagram LeCroy had the perfect song for Teddi to make her entrance into the world. 'My doctor, she's amazing. And at this point she was, like, a friend, and we were sitting there talking and we were like, 'What [is[the playlist gonna be for this?'' she detailed. 'And we were joking around, we're like, 'Girl power, let's go Taylor Swift.' So we did, we rocked out to Taylor Swift during the surgery.' LeCroy elaborated, 'So that's what she was born to. Now don't ask me what song, because at that point I don't have no idea. But yeah, girl mode all the way.' 8 Madison LeCroy and Brett Randle. Madison LeCroy/Instagram Teddi — who is named after LeCroy's late father — ended up spending a 'few days' in the NICU due to 'protocol' for babies who are born early. 'She's a little. She's only five pounds, but she's breathing on her own and hasn't needed any oxygen or anything like that. She's kind of a little trooper,' LeCroy revealed. '[Doctors] were shocked with how early she was that she was gonna be this independent. So I was like, 'Oh, I wasn't shocked at all.''

Southern Charm's Madison LeCroy welcomes second child
Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy has given birth to her second child, a daughter named Teddi. It is her first child with husband Brett Randle, 38. She also has a son, Hudson, 12, whom she shares with her first husband, Josh Hughes. 'We're super excited and just living in pure bliss at the moment,' the reality TV star gushed to Page Six. 'It doesn't even feel real.' She named her new daughter after her late father, Ted LeCroy, who died in 2023. Madison wanted the name to 'live on through [her] baby,' adding, 'We might as well just make the name continue to grow.' The couple have been married since November 2022 when they tied the knot in Mexico. The couple shared the happy news that they were expecting in February. 'And just like that... our world is changing in the most magical way! ✨ Seeing 'Pregnant' on this @clearbluetest was the best moment of our lives. We can't wait to meet you, little one,' she captioned her Instagram post announcing the news. The reality TV star said she was 'shocked' when her pregnancy test came back positive. 'Honestly, when Brett and I were making this plan of growing our family, I was like, "Okay, we've got to make this as easy as possible,"' she shared with People. 'So I actually started using the Clearblue ovulation test, and I got a smiley face. Once we got the smiley face, we were like, "Okay, it's go time," and it instantly happened.' 'I was shocked, I thought I had all summer long, but it happened and I felt actually pretty great other than some minor headaches,' LeCroy continued. 'But other than that, just eating all the food and enjoying myself.' The good news comes after Brett's diagnosis with thyroid cancer and the death of her father in 2023. 'I honestly was pinching myself because I hadn't heard good news in it felt like the last two years, so to hear something that was so positive and something that we've been wanting and looking forward to was just super exciting,' she shared. 'And of course, everybody in our family and everybody was rooting for us.' She shared how excited she is, saying she's so happy to finally share the news with her fans. 'I'm ecstatic. I just can't get enough. I'm so glad to finally be able to talk about it, she said. 'I've been in hiding for too long, and so I'm excited to be able to show the bump off.' Madison shared that the first person she told about her pregnancy was her 'best friend,' her son Hudson. He was my first one that I told,' she shared. 'And yeah, he was excited. Obviously, at first he's like, "Eh." 'And then we recently got a puppy, so he goes, "Actually I really love caring, so might as well." I was like, "Okay. This is going to be way different, but okay,"' Since it's been 12 years since she had her first baby, LeCroy explained that things are a bit different this time around. 'It's the total opposite than what I experienced at 22 years old,' she explained. I had the glowing skin and I had all that, and this is the opposite. 'I'm exhausted, full-blown adult acne, and didn't lose any weight at the beginning, versus [with] Hudson, I was starting off in a negative. So I can just tell it's a 12-year difference.'

Looking for a great place to visit in the South? Look no further than these two hidden gems in Georgia. Two towns in the state have been named among Southern Living's list of the 25 best places to go in the South in 2025. The magazine's list highlights towns that offer a unique blend of Southern charm, history, and culture. While many are familiar with the renowned Callaway Resort and Gardens, a lesser-known treasure awaits just 40 minutes away.

Today, Quercus is a luxurious resort with four furnished guesthouses and a restaurant called Uberto. "Take part in activities like horseback riding, kayaking, and fishing on the Flint River, or just enjoy the quiet," Southern Living wrote. "Although the property itself is expansive, everything is tailored to a small number of guests, so it feels like a private escape."
