New Years Eve via Lady Flashback!

Hey there blog babies! I’m super excited to welcome a new girl to our team- Lady Flashback! Check out her own sweet blog here and stay tuned for her fashion musings, party pix and general Flashback magic. Her first round of party photos are up in the photo gallery, so check them out! Plus our newest Darlin will be shooting Hot and Sticky this Thursday at Eastside Lounge, so please give her unicorn kisses and make her feel super welcome! – Sarah

As a huge fan of Sorry,Darlin I was thrilled when Sarah approached me about collaborating efforts with her blog and mine, LadyFlashback.com. I have been blogging about fashion, photography, home decor, parties, DIY, and all things vintage for over 3 years now. Relocating to Atlanta has opened up many doors for me in the internet world as well as nightlife. Just last month my blog was awarded the superlative for “Hip Style Blog” in Atlanta Magazine, see the article here. Being a long time fan of photography it dawned on me that shooting parties professionally was my calling since I was already taking 100+ photos any given weekend. This opportunity to shoot with Sorry,Darlin blows my mind, extremely excited for adventures to come!

Our first experience together just so happened to be NYE, what a purrrfect night to shoot for the VERY FIRST TIME-huh?!?!

The Darlin ladies and I agree-it went marvelous, take a look for yourself over at the photo gallery.

Here are my top 11 favorites of the night we rang in 2011 at MJQ

it wasn’t until a couple of days ago i was made aware that the Atlanta Magazine had awarded LadyFlashback.com the superlative for “Hip Style Blog” in their December issue. when i found out about the possible mention back in November i thought it was just that-a mention. to my surprise i was told that i had actually made the “Best of Atlanta” list.
i am thrilled to get any recognition but a real life print magazine that just celebrated their 50th birthday, even more RAD!
so here is the scanned front of magazine and my spot on the page,
breast of atlanta
thanks Kareem for helping with the graphic setup!
and since i was so incredibly sick for and around Christmas i wanted to share some classy images from our Classy Christmas VINO party hosted by my roommate and i on December 16. thinking this party is where someone got everyone so so sick, since my friends were also ill a day or so later-opps .!. nonetheless we mingled, nibbled, laughed and got merry with some whites and reds.

got the house all shiny and tidy for the shindig!

also wanted to snap some photos of the lovely Elizabeth and her eclectic outfit, she had henna tattoos on her hands-too bad i didn’t get a close-up!
batch4
i believe this is [mostly] vintage w//F21 heels
batch3
always adore her mix of colors, patterns and styles!
hosting potlucks & events seems to be my thing and i usually get carried away making foodies, this time was no different. i made stuffed feta mushrooms and a spinach artichoke fondue recipe i found via the Melting Pot. the mushrooms i free-styled because you can’t really go wrong with bread crumbs, shrooms, feta and seassoning… and the fondue was so easy, and it had everyone coming back for seconds, here it is:

    3oz. chopped cooked spinach

    3oz. chopped artichoke hearts

    1 spoon of minced garlic

    8oz. shredded cheddar cheese

    5 turns of cracked black pepper

    for dipping:

    cubed bread- french/rye/pumpernickel

    vegetables – coliflower/carrots/celery/broccoli

serves 4 so i multiplied everything x3 i believe, made a ton!
and lastly,
wanted to share my stingy santa gift i went home with from a friends holiday party,
IMG_3067
magical right????
i plan to paint the frame and then hang it someone very visible in my apartment!
well that sums up some of my December happenings but the best is yet to come-
NEW YEARS EVE photos, stay tuned!

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.

after a small vaca from postings, i’ve resurrected and bringing you all some archived outfits! these are from my old camera and go as far back to the beginning of summer, a FLASHBACK moment at its finest!
DSCN9878
jeggingz!
love these acid-washed jeggings from H&M, so comfy and stretchy. however, i did buy some gray dye and plan to give them a new look, the light wash is just too light for me. will show the final product!
top: Free People, jeans: H&M, boots//purse//earring: vintage
DSCN0218
shame this photo is so dark, but the background is actually what i was interested in. can you imagine being the secretary at this office space-sign me up!
blazer: Target, dress//boots//purse: Vintage
DSCN0450
snapshot from my family vacation to Alligator Point, FL. this trip was bittersweet, you see, we normally go to Gulf Shores, AL but due to the oil spill we had to change our plans at the last minute :(( still a great trip filled with laughter ((as usual with my family)) and LOTS && LOTS of fishing!
dress is from an Alabama boutique-Private Gallery, sunnies: Marc by Marc, hat: H&M
DSCN0543
night out with friends in Alabama after the beach trip, including midnight sushi and an Arcade Fire cover from a local band i freaked over!

DSCN0643
my favorite shorts this summer! again, from H&M-such a hotspot! this was from the same visit to Bamaland but for a casual night hanging with friends.
tee:vintage, shorts: H&M, shoes: Toms, bracelet: gift from Dad via Africa-made of BONES!, purse: vintage
DSCN0660
the roomie and i from the Electroport Aztec party at MJQ! i made our hair pieces from various feathers i’ve collected, the big brown one i’m wearing i actually found in New York at a music festival. my friend thought it was really gross that i was picking up a feather and keeping, but that is def not the grossest found object i’ve kept-hehe!
both Ashleigh’s and my outfits are mine && vintage
DSCN0721
all about some casual outfits during the summer day time, esp THIS american apparel skirt with a tucked in shirt-of any kind-it’s perfection!
tee: Volcom ((a hand-me-down from my dear friend Sean)), skirt: AA, sandals: UO, purse: vintage
DSCN9337
have no fear-i wasn’t driving and taking this photo-promise! liked the lighting and wanting to get a close-up of my beautiful Chloe shades, sooo lovely!
top: Free People, shades: Chloe, earrings: gift shop
DSCN0319
in the old neighborhood i wore this out to grab coffee, the first time i think i actually wore this dress after having for a long time. which i tend to do, such a clothes hoarder!
dress: small boutique, moccasin wedges: Chinese Laundry, purse: Lucky Brand
DSCN0229
this is the same dress from the dark photo ((#2)) different night and styled differently, it will most likely be around some more in the winter time since it is a little thick. this night some friends and i went to Eyedrum a:
non-profit organization developing an interdisciplinary approach to the arts by incorporating a wide range of contemporary art, music and new media in its gallery space.
pretty cool spot indeed! everything i’ve already shared where it came from but the suede headband is from H&M ((think it was $2.99!!))
DSCN1553
packed a pb&j sandwich picnic and hung out at Kareem’s bike shop-LOOSE NUTS CYCLES-one summer afternoon in the above get-up. this mural was painted for a nearby homemade popsicle vendor that goes by “King of Pops” his flavors are anything but average and out-of-this-world NOMMY!
top: insight, jorts: vintage Levis, sneakers: UO, sunnies: by Keirin bikes ((thanks bebe!)) backpack: vintage Kenneth Cole, pompoms: Natural Life
IMG_0901
another snap from Alligator Point. the water was not brown as it appears here but since im so extremely pale and added a little color ((letting you all in on a secret!!!)) it turned a dirty shade. we actually did some snorkeling further out and found some very interesting creatures, i was terrified of sharks-since we WERE catching them feet away from where we were swimming-but i had the parentals looking out for us!
bathing suit && hat: H&M, sunnies: Marc by Marc
DSCN0738
this is the night i was introduced to my boyfriend.. i bet this dress is what stole his heart! originally purchased for HARD music festival in LA ((feat. Crystal Castles, Rusko, and lots more!)) but since i bailed out on moving to Cali i choose to wear it to LazerBeamKitty and then to Decatur Social Club Reunion: what a night!!
dress: Bill Hallman, bag: vintage Kenneth Cole, necklace: designed by Pretty Pink Poo, boots: vintage

this truly is just the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to unpublished photos, i am so behind and really hope you all can bear with my catching up. there is lots more coming up and i fully intend on posting more often..
thinking that 2 posts a week is good, what do you all think?? don’t want to overload but always want to keep your attention-your opinion is much appreciated!

in a FLASH

developed a Kodak 35mm camera and very pleased with the outcome, it had 39 exposures so i had to pick and choose but here are some fond memoriez of the past months..
