 details from an outfit: Kensie sweater, Bar III button down & Miss B showroom necklace // over Christmas Ryan surprised me with tickets to The XX show (!!!) we sat in the balcony which was a great decision since the music is so romantic and also because they had really large visuals which we were able to see in their entirety.13 copy

snapped this pic of an earlier cover of Eide’ magazine during their International Issue Launch party at the Whiskey Blue in W Buckhead. great party where I was able to hang with other Atlanta bloggers and mingle with the ladies behind the magazine!
/// umbrellas are at Park Tavern in Piedmont park, it’s a perfect spot to go after an afternoon of biking in the park or in my case after some ultimate frisbee!
insta1
visited my parents in Florida and mom took me to a TJ Maxx that ended up being a hotspot for designer goods despite the location and shanty exterior, scored this Cynthia Rowley bag for less than a hundred bucks /// pearls and silver make up a preppy work day arm party
insta6
in a previous post i mentioned the Fallen Arrows Wastage Wash launch party which i attended and had a blast with the guys behind the company and local supporters. went home with my very own tee in the splatter print! we ended up bringing the party to the roof and hanging out by the Neon Company Sign, dangerous good times!
insta_12
Atlanta’s had a rainy summer which means umbrellas and boots-my vintage cowboy boots serve as the perfect waterproof gear
insta5
goat farm art /// architecture at my workplace
insta11
hit up the Forever 21 outlet in Orlando and came home with 3 dresses! the striped blouse is by Lush (scored at the amazing TJ Maxx in Cocoa Beach) and the sunglasses were a total steal from the Pacsun outlet for $2.99 /// boots were part of a trade with Rag O Rama in Little Five, traded in $74 dollars worth of clothes, took home $75 worth of “new” stuff! love good deals!
insta_13
casual Friday in a (very) vintage Coca Cola shirt /// day AND night you can spot me biking around town

insta2
August is my last month at the goat farm then i move EVERYTHING to my loft and combine artistic efforts with miss Chelsea Raflo, super excited for the upcoming adventure! /// later this week i’ll be sharing my DIY post from my Common Creativ column which outlines how to revive old denim shorts and jeans plus a tasty tequila drink.
will be posting it on Wednesday so check back here (or there!) for details.
good luck with your Monday!
