 the idea for this new collection came from the creative minds behind Fallen Arrows. a company who already recycles and reuses everything from old tee shirts, paper scraps and rags it was only a matter of time before they were recycling what they use most: INK.
all Wastage Wash tees are handmade in Atlanta and each one is a unique version of one of the three available pattern options: Splatter, Lilypads and Original. each comes with a Wastage Wash button and a Fallen Arrows sticker!
what’s better than supporting local artists?
HANGING OUT WITH LOCAL ARTISTS!
See You Tomorrow (i hope!)

THE GARM FARM —> once specializing in cotton-related machinery and later producing ammunition and mortars during World War II, now is a creative center for visual and performing arts including residential and commercial spaces. it truly is an inspiring place to escape to!

though personally i have only shopped at The Beehive i’m excited to check out the other stores, brands, artists, as well as the sips + snacks! not to mention i’m all about Sunday Funday!

if you are not familiar with Yelp, you should meet and be very good friends. the site is a great way to research restaurants, salons, stores, hotels, nightlife, art and so much more. it really helped me when i first moved to Atlanta and still find myself referring to it weekly.

hope to see everyone at this event looking sharp!
have a good week,

Flashback Shoot w. DJ Taradactyl

recently a girl friend and fellow Darlin of Sorry,Darlin-Tara AKA DJ Taradactyl and i collaborated on a mini shoot for a feature she is getting in CommonCreativ ATL. though it was a very last minute rendezvous we both really like the outcome.
plus, shooting such a pretty gal made my job easy peasy:

Savannah said this looked like a Nasty Gal photo, this made me SMILE.
Tara_2
a natural right?
this last one is my favorite, she is too darlin!
will post the article when it’s out AND she’s using it for an ad too so that’ll be coming as well. you have no idea how happy all this makes me in addition to getting in 944 mag for a different set of photos-2 publications in one month, pinch me! the same month that happens to be my “Golden Birthday” is even more special. i’ll be turning 25 on the 25th of this month. and boy is it hitting me.hard. not that im freaking out about the age but just wanting to step up to the responsibilities of “adult hood” and maturity..yada yada yada-but im totally digging it.
before all the birthday celebrations begin i have a jam packed month as i’ll also be going to Nashville next weekend for a bachelorette party and the next week hitting up SD, California for an 8-day vacation with my sweety. needless to say March is going to be fabulous!
