The Wet Look

remember my comment about the failed attempt at making it to the Decatur Arts Festival on Saturday afternoon? Well if not, I didn’t make it. due to R.A.I.N. No more like a torrential downpour. to the max. My mini umbrella was turning inside out, dress flying every which way, families running all over the place seeking shelter, and pretty sure my undergarments were visible. ha! I can laugh about it now but at the time it was awful. I didn’t get to see one piece of art, eat not one funnel cake, or drink one tasty beer.  The only solution to my wet’n’wild outing was turning around and going home, simply too wet to enjoy the day even if it did clear up..really not exaggerating, as soon as I stepped into the open from the parking deck I got dumped on. afterwards settled for a chai tea latte and the internet. eh. 

on a happier note I was awarded a blog award from the lovely Mina via The Fabulous Girl’s Guide to Fashion, thanks!!!

have lovely evenings!

sliding doors & a snoring dog

Couple nights ago sported a look from before changed it up with some skinnies, moccasins, and my vintage Liz Claiborne purse purchased from Ebay since we were cruzing via the bikes.

this afternoon I’m hoping to hop on the road back to the old crib and pack up some more, we’ll see how it goes. As for now I’m watching the last bit of Sliding Doors (1998) over the air waves my babes’ new diy antenna is picking up, while Grits is snoring away. loudly might I add.

can’t wait to transfer all my plants and gardening tools, haven’t gotten my hands dirty in a bit and my green thumb is’a cravin’ some dirt.
below is a collage I created with a free trial version of Photoshop CS4, giving y’all a close up of the moccasins//

((in the top photo you can see the new “manly” camera bag I got in the mail as a total surprise from my sweet heart, now he won’t be ashamed to hold the camera bag. my old one looked “mom-ish,” apparently)) -also you can see my bf’s awesome ‘beer mug’ socks that I’m sporting, I’m outta control!

jazzy J

ok, so I know I have this damn hat on in every post but you know what-it works-with everything! and is a superb bang-puller-backer ((for all those growing out the bangs for summer…)) light weight, mustard, and an accessory-what more can a girl ask for to complete an outfit? enough about my beanie, here are the photos from Wednesday night’s jazz outing//

the tables were so psychedelic, had to snap a photo!
the boys jamming out on a chill night, not too many people came so they had the opportunity to do whatever they pleased.  Another day lounging around the crib, after a failed attempt at going to the Decatur Arts Festival due to miserable rain. oh bless the rain, can’t wait for the umbrellas to be left at home for a while!
hope everyone’s weekend is delightful!

Josephine de La Baume

while walking Grits this morning I discovered a hip little coffee/shake&smoothies/eatery down the block called Tilt and later went exploring for a snack without the pouch. Dp and I sat down with some magazines-mine including Loft Living & Elle (May 09) and his a local publication about the happenings after ordering a mid afternoon treat, which I completely recommend-that place is yummy! Flipping through the pages of Elle I came across an article about Josephine de La Baume and was blown away by her style. for example,

looks like she’s at a festival lovin life//
 

suspenders! yes!

Chanel show, love those bangs. apparently with Mark Ronson, many articles saying this-never know..
all photos from The Fashionspot && check out Vanity Fair for more photos from article here.
Due to the Southeast experiencing showers galore and ((around these parts)) horrible traffic due to the holiday weekend I am left “trapped”. I use the word trapped sarcastically because I really could go home but would much rather put off the drive a couple more days, even though I still have tons of work to do back home, packing and such//but while I’m “trapped” we are thinking about going through the art walk around here if the weather isn’t so nasty-I have some photos from last nights jazz outing checking out Kevin down the block && will post those here soon. chilly night=last days of wearing my suede boots.
 
happy memorial day weekend//enjoi
