Post – Feast

postfeast
while Sunday’s Moveable Feast was a successful event and a good time with friends and family it was also a learning experience. Ryan and I both have some things to learn about planning and hosting events and what better way to be learn then first hand, right?! Ryan’s food was delicious, the music by Nadia Marie was soul touching and the decor we both worked on went up fairly smoothly! much like NYE I was running around crazy and only had time to pause to take a few quick snaps and due to candle lighting, sadly, a lot of them didn’t turn out great.
my favorite spot in the ballroom that night is captured in the above photo. it is an antique piano Chelsea and I wheeled onto the dance floor area. I jazzed it up with candles and wine bottle decor and hung the DIY’d fringe from NYE above.

we are sporting vintage tops and I’m wearing my new LOFT slacks, vintage hat and bolo I picked up at the Rock & Mineral Show in Alabama

after the event was over and the decor came down I had to work and while I was on the grind my sweety sweet sweet boyfriend was working on a surprise for me at the house….

I came home to find my room was slightly transformed into boho amazingness-

he took the wreaths we made + the NYE fringe and hung them while balancing on a chair in the center of my bed, basically risking his life :P 
I am truly a lucky gal!

MOVEABLE FEAST EVENT

spoonNfork1
I’m sure with my mention of a dinner event you were interested in hearing more details, right? so here goes, the Moveable Feast is being held THIS SUNDAY at the Highland Inn Ballroom hosted by Native Crave-a catering and events company my boyfriend has been operating since last year. he’s booked live music including a harp session by Atlanta local singer/song writer Nadia Marie, a Swing House dj set and we’ve handcrafted decor. OH and there’s also the delicious tapas menu he’s prepared!!
in regards to the events environment and attire Ryan said “I want the space to feel as if we were making our home among the trees and coming together for fellowship and celebration. the attire should reflect that in the way of re-meeting our true selves. like taking your city look back to it’s roots. therefore-urban meets arbor.”

if you are in the Atlanta area come over to the Highlands for a unique “Supper Club” experience.

as mentioned in an earlier post i had the pleasure of teaming up with 7 other Atlanta Style Bloggers for the W ThinksPINK Cure on the Catwalk event on Sept 27th. We were each paired with a breast cancer survivor and given a specific boutique in Buckhead to “shop” for our model’s look. unfortunately my model couldn’t make it and poor Ebony of Fashionista Next Door couldn’t attend so i was paired up with her model and visa versa. they had picked out two looks and i got to choose the final outfit so in a way i was able to “style” a runway look :) here’s the press photos by Sara Hanna Photography and a few i snapped during the event.

ROCKS, GEMS + MINERALS

this past weekend i attended one of my favorite events in Alabama
 at the beautiful Tannihill State Park called the Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show.
though this trip was my 3rd year i had a different mission than just perusing for personal bargains, i was on the hunt for SUPPLIES.
in my previous post i mentioned that i have projects in the works and for these projects i needed to scout out some beads, bones, fur, stones, trinkets as well as pendants.  trust me, i hit the jackpot!
