the dress

this is a FLASHBACK post to Valentines Day when I wore my very special ASOS dress that Ryan surprised me with for Christmas. Saving it for the right occasion I had tucked it away in my closet. figured the day of celebrating love and doing so with a fancy date night was perfect timing! I wanted the dress to do all the ‘talking’ so I went out and bought nude tights, which I had never everrrrr worn before. wasn’t all that bad especially since it gave my ghost legs some color! (ladies: CVS-2 pairs for $6!)

I really like that my boyfriend has great taste because I never would have gone for a dress like this on my own. let me clarify…I wouldn’t go for a dress like this due to the shape, or rather my shape. I don’t care for bandage/pencil styles because I’m self conscious about my hips but with the peplum it isn’t an issue! thanks to my fashion forward sweety I’ve now discovered a new style I can rock with confidence!

outfit details: Asos dress, Clothing Warehouse sunnies, Zatchels bag, Eric Michael wedge booties

enjoy the last bit of February but I’m sure you’re just as excited for this flu + rainy month to end and Spring to begin!

♥my new and comfy “brogues”♥
fell for those velvet laces! planning to switch them out when it gets warm with some bright laces and wear them with dresses and shorts.

though I hear Fashion Week is going to get some heavy snow I’d still LOVE to be darting from runway to runway catching all the future trends and looks LIVE! someday I’d like to hit up NYFW … until then I’ll be living vicariously through street style and fashion magazine blogs. meh. least we have that much, right??

have a good weekend!

MOVEABLE FEAST EVENT

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.

Rustic City

as I previously mentioned I wanted to show you my “version”of the rustic city gal trend that’s been circulating around for some time now. all of these pieces I wear independently as well as together to complete the look. out of this particular outfit, my favorite component is the parka having had to search for the right one for a while then ended up finding mine at H&M, I’m very pleased with my bargain! the lightweight fabric is great for layering in the colder months and will be perfect for a standalone jacket in the Spring.

these photos were shot by my lovely boyfriend at his lake house in Macon, GA. recently the community opened the nearby dam in order to lower the lake water level allowing for dock maintenance so the lake is abnormally low. I’m standing on land that is usually under water! did some exploring around the new “shore” and found deer tracks, fresh water clam shells, drift wood and neat stones.

this same afternoon after grabbing materials for the Moveable Feast dinner and party this upcoming Sunday (click on title to be directed to Highland Ballroom information and ticketing page!) we headed to town for a beer and to enjoy outdoor seating on an oddly warm January day.
