meet ZoeDarlin:
behind the lens is where you can find Zoe at most parties, although if you checked the dance floor first she could also be spotted in or around boogie’n down! being a grad of the Art Institute of Atlanta keeps the youngest Darlin on top of her game when it comes to capturing all the right party moments!

Spotlight: Friendly Fashionistas

i’ve always adored my friend’s style and from time to time shown off their looks here on LadyFLASHBACK. would like to start doing that more often, spotlighting some pals who i think have great personal style. for example, Kristie Jo, a college lady friend who’s wardrobe is something to be coveted. KJO came into town for a Halloween celebration that could never be forgotten. on the last day of her visit we went vintage perusing over at Highland Row Antiques and her outfit caught my eye, where’s whyyy:::
KJO1
check out her vintage mink&&leather biker jacket! can you imagine riding a motorcycle and those little furry tails blowing in the wind?? so dreamy. she found this at a thrift hot spot in Alabama we both frequently visit, while i have scored some great stuff there..i think this jacket takes the price!
outfit//deetz:
bow//jacket//top//locket: Vintage, purse: Vintage Fendi scored at a shop we both worked at “Twice as Nice” for a mere $150.00, some deal right?!?!, kicks: Target ((!!!)), sunnies: Kate Spade
KJO2
mustard has long been a favorite color choice for both kjo and myself, goes so well with our dark features and really goes with EVERYTHING!
KJO3
KJO4
even the thought of her looking into moving to atlanta thrills my ♥♥♥♥, where she will always have a special place! thanks for the visit Kristie!
////////////////
another lady with great style is actually a friend of my boyfriend who came into town for a couple days with her BF on a route from NYtoCA. from the moment we met i knew she had superb taste and i was CORRECT.
rachel1
she wore this out the day i took her and Chris around for thrifting, record shopping and Little Five browsing. she almost bought a mint condition vintage Pucci dress but the fitting was off, nonetheless, it further proved her eye for style!
rachel2
outfit//deetz:
rabbit fur jacket: Juicy Couture, purse: vintage-loved the sterling deer emblem on the front, wish i would have taken a detail shot.. shoes: Aldo
it was nice hanging with a couple for a few days and going on double dates, which i L♥VE :))

back in the “day” there was a super mega dance party over in Decatur, GA called Decatur Social Club. while this was before my times in ATL the mastermind, Preston, has revived the scene a couple of times in recent months. first with the “Reunion” party and then last month with the “Fall Revival” throwdown. many friends and i attended the event, first hitting up ABV Gallery for Iain Macarthur’s showing of his “Entrance” mash up.

a glamourous graduation celebration!

no1
my very good friend, Kristie Jo graduated back in May and i traveled to Bamaland to celebrate her “glamourous graduation celebration!”
no2
she is one crafty lady and i thought her entryway was just adorable! her duplex ((she has since moved)) was soooo awesome, this little side bathroom had an exterior sink, and there were many other quirky details we both loved!
no3
party favor//
no4
my present was a unicorn pinata filled with candy && glamours rings! also some other glam rings for the “specials” and a mask so she couldn’t peek when beating the hell out of poor Charlie ((what we named the little gal..))
no5
another entry way in her place, the hangings are actually part of a costume ((see below)) called a “Sound Suit” that she created for a class in which she also preformed in…after a couple of beers she put it on and gave every a show they’d never forget!
no6
she also made the pants out of about a 1,000 different patches, isn’t she amazing?!?!
no7
a gift she received from her cousin, glowing garden mushrooms-ah-jealous!
no8
bama gals((from L2R))
Miranda, Kelsey, KJO, Stephanie, Me
no9
batterUP!
like any glamourous lady should, KJO changed about 3 times, and as always i loved each one! ((all vintage!!))
no10
the cutest sparkly girly around! her asymmetrical hair is so unique, much like her style. love//
no11
we each had on about 10 rings apiece! and none of them fit on our fingers, but who cares! these plastic party glasses are so cool, kristie found them at our favorite thrift store and they actually come apart and turn into HORNS! so you drink champagne, and then you can tootTOOT ((we think they are especially great for New Years Eve, that way when the clock strikes midnight you can ring in the new year!! such a steal!!))
no12
post-attack, still looking adorbs!
no13
mom snapped these photos before the hair feel. i didn’t know what i was going to be wearing to the party so i just brought a couple different things and then planned when i arrived….well i didn’t have any other good//comfy shoes options so these had to work. got them years and years ago and haven’t worn since around then…don’t know why exactly, guess the color?? but i really do adore, they are fun. but yea, kinda just had to piece together what i could and this is what came about. i was happy with it. esp my hair! i 1/2 rolled 1/2 hand curled and it turned out so fluffy.
no14
mom bought me these leggings for Christmas and this was the first time they got out, mostly because i’ve been afraid of the inner sequins getting rubbed off..and they are not lined so a little itchy BUT totally worth it…she found them at Steinmart, also a steal.
no15
