lordy lordy…
got back from San Diego on Thursday and haven’t slowed down for even a second. for real for real. had a friend in town visiting and also celebrated my birthday,
im now 25!
friends and i went to dinner in downtown Decatur and then went roller skating at a rink called Golden Glide we choose that particular rink due to location but also because i was celebrating my ‘Golden Birthday’. of course i wore head-to-toe gold!
pretty backed up with photos i want to share from said birthday party celebrations, California and other outfits i’ve snapped…bare with me as i play catch up, starting with another outfit, two quick pics before a dinner with my girly friends a few weeks ago. really love this velvet top and wanted to share:

details: Urban Outfitters tops and 4-finger-ring, vintage purse and H&M jeggings

photos via NastyGal
aren’t these photos gorgeous?! the minute i spotted them on Nasty Gal’s site i saved them to my desktop for inspiration. wanting to try a similar style photoshoot with a girlfriend who’s agreed to some modeling. highly doubtful it comes out this badass but experimenting is always fun.
about halfway into the San Diego vacation and already done so much. a lot of riding bikes and eating. my boyfriend did his undergrad here so im traveling with a sort of local who has been taking me to his favorite spots. today we road to the swap meet and i picked up some vintage and Mexican jewelry. they also had a booth with tons of Urban Outfitters, Hurley, American Apparel and other brands i like that was super cheap. snagged some floral leggings and a tank for only $10. also came across a vintage 100% silk Saks Fifth Ave. sweater that is perfectly over-sized. i’d say today was a shopping success!
tonight we are going to a warehouse party a bike shop friend of Kareem’s is throwing, should be interesting!
hope everyone is having a marvelous weekend!
xx.

Flashback Shoot w. DJ Taradactyl

recently a girl friend and fellow Darlin of Sorry,Darlin-Tara AKA DJ Taradactyl and i collaborated on a mini shoot for a feature she is getting in CommonCreativ ATL. though it was a very last minute rendezvous we both really like the outcome.
plus, shooting such a pretty gal made my job easy peasy:

Tara_2
a natural right?
this last one is my favorite, she is too darlin!
will post the article when it’s out AND she’s using it for an ad too so that’ll be coming as well. you have no idea how happy all this makes me in addition to getting in 944 mag for a different set of photos-2 publications in one month, pinch me! the same month that happens to be my “Golden Birthday” is even more special. i’ll be turning 25 on the 25th of this month. and boy is it hitting me.hard. not that im freaking out about the age but just wanting to step up to the responsibilities of “adult hood” and maturity..yada yada yada-but im totally digging it.
before all the birthday celebrations begin i have a jam packed month as i’ll also be going to Nashville next weekend for a bachelorette party and the next week hitting up SD, California for an 8-day vacation with my sweety. needless to say March is going to be fabulous!

AntiqueAdventures

since the snow storm we atlantans have been waiting patiently for some sunny days and low and behold-we received! naturally Kristie and i took advantage of the enjoyable temperatures and went around town hitting up some of the best antique shops such as Paris on Ponce, Scarlet Loves Retro and the Fainting Couch. my objective was to find the perfect desk for a small space in my bedroom and while i didn’t go home with the price-winner, i know there is the right one at the right price out there…somewhere…
needless to say we had a good time, here are some snaps of the adventure//

((L)) Kristie’s vintage oxfords && ((R)) my LuckyBrand boots
other outfit deetz:
Me: dress: UO, jacket//purse//sunnies//necklace: Vintage
KJO: dress: H&M, jacket: BillyReid, purse: Vintage Fendi, necklace: various

i am so so so so so so so so so so SO excited to finally be able to wear my Lucky boots that were a Christmas gift from mom! you see the day after NYE i broke a small toe on my right foot and since then it’s been comfort shoes only, which is not all that fun when you love to dress up. now the little guy is healed and i can sport these amazing green boots i’ve been dying to take for a spin-what do you think???
another [green] item i am ecstatic about is this jacket Kristie found at a yard sale and actually got on the free. when she came home and showed me i was ALL about it, begging her to trade it with something-anything of mine..she agreed and said we’d figure it out later-such a lovely friend i have ! :)) !

after spotting a shopper at UO wearing a very similar version of this coat all casual-like i’ve since decided it doesn’t need to be a super fancy night to bring it out. it’s no longer going to sit lonely in my closet just because it’s glamourous, i had fun wearing it to dinner and drinks as well as around town the next day.
