THE RELEASE

as many, ok…..ALL of you know last week the Alexa Chung for Madewell collection hit stores and the web. best believe i was there right as the doors opened to check it out first hand!

looky looky at my coverage of the event with all the fun ladies snatching up the goods and the super friendly Madewell staff-

such good props, definitely went along with the vintage feel of the collection.

happy shoppers!

the little pouches were so fun, i was even able to snag one of the free coin purses with the “im serious” sketch. good thing i was one of the first 25 shoppers!

one of the small details i enjoyed in the collection was the blouses petite collars, very Alexa!

PBR was repping at the festival, gave us some cool pins and had a fun photo prop. OF COURSE we partook in a photo op!

spotted this lady from our table outside of the EARL and had to check out these nails up close-wacky huh?!?!

ran into stylish Ali on her way to work, her outfits always features an amazing vintage garment and handmade jewelry she makes from recycled vintage pieces and leather under the name Birdalupe. she even has a booth at my favorite Antique store-Highland Row Antiques (such a hot spot-score things like Elizabeth’s sweet vintage hat!)

the EAV STRUT is always a good time if you like art, music, beer, parades and quality time with friends. i will continue to say YES PLEASE to all of the above :)

Date Night

meet my new “bed jacket”

bought this pretty little lady on sale at Anthropologie and you can say we’ve already hit it off! so soft and silky with a perfect shape and transitional pattern it was a great spontaneous purchase.

as you can see my hair is in it’s awkward growing out stage, sucks but i don’t want to cut it though i need to do something so it doesn’t lay so weird for the next few months.

these pictures are from Friday night’s date with my boyfriend, we ate a delicious Southwestern meal at Agave-try it out if you’re in the Atlanta area! (great for a date!)

hope yours weekend was splendid!
