outfit details: tank: H&M, shorts: Alice + Olivia, sunnies: Cheap Monday

picked up a bunch of books at a local book store that is sadly going out of business. gave the tequila book to a gf who i knew would appreciate it :) and the others are for me, my home and garden!
i am very excited to finally post these shorts, don’t know how it’s taken me as long as it has because i wear them nonstop but finally snapped a few photos. these are the softest most comfortable shorts i’ve ever owned and what makes them even better is they are by one of my fav designers: Alice + Olivia! i scored these babies at TJ MAXX for $40-can you believe it?! i couldn’t either. guess that part makes them EVEN better,
hope everyone’s having a good week!

been collecting home decor inspiration for weeks now as i’m done with unpacking at the new place and in the process of the fun part: DECORATING!
over the years i’ve established a home-style which is much like my personal-style: an eclectic mix of vintage, patterns, bright colors, with a bit of bohemian mixed in. as you can tell from above i’m favoring a Southwestern/Moroccan look with the same semi-cluttered vintage decor.
a few things on my flea market list: old paint buckets, mini picture frames, large jewelry box, cat figurines, mini bottles, dream catchers, vases, and anything awesome my new place can’t live without!
next weekend my dad is hooking me up with deer antlers and an old steer head i plan to hang above my bed. once the place is near completion i’ll post some photos!
have a good, relaxing Sunday!

how stylish are these Bonnaroo attendees? stumbled across the photos on Style.com and had to share! as a Bonnaroo veteran i’m happy it’s starting to get recognition for the style that flocks to the South and boogies in the Tennessee heat.
the first girl (on left) rocking a “Vintage shirt from Preservation Society, American Apparel piqué bloomers, deadstock vintage sunglasses, and white sandals from a thrift store” is a personal favorite.

if your Monday morning was as tough as mine to get going-good luck today!

last weekend was Atlanta’s “Indie Craft Experience” feat. artists from all ends of the crafty world from wearable plant necklaces to handmade ceramic cupcakes. i left with a vintage Liz Claiborne belt and a father’s day gift for my pops- a keychain for his up-and-coming antique truck made from a vintage license tag. my gf and i laughed because of all the awesome arts + crafts we both left purchasing vintage!
we attended the Sunday opening and were in for a little treat with their photobooth:

coolest idea ever-the subject holds a small remote, looks at a monitor and fires away as many shots as desired. for this gal who l o v e s to take photos it was a dream come true!
if you live in the Atlanta area i highly suggest attending next year’s ICE!
have a good weekend yall!
