FREE PEOPLE PARTY

last Thursday's Free People pre-opening shopping party was such a blast! the new store is everything i expected and stocked with tons of FP goodies. it has the feel of a bohemian boutique with a friendly staff that lends great fashionista advice. i brought along my camera to capture the new beauty and party people:

and the Free People HQ ladies who came down from Pennsylvania to help with the opening and party festivities-so sweet!

and a detail shot of my outfit:

NEW NEIGHBOR

(photo set by me, photo provided by Free People)

crazy excited that Free People will be opening it's doors just miles away at the Lenox mall in Buckhead THIS Friday. tonight they are hosting a pre-opening shopping event/preview and you can bet money I'll be the first one at the doors (even switched around my work schedule to have the day off and to beat traffic!)
i've already heard the store is amazing and neighbors with Anthropologie, can't wait to see all the Free People decorating magic!

now, if I could only figure out what I'm wearing...

hope to see all you ladies [and bloggers!] out tonight - don't miss this event!

TWOTONE

top+hat: H&M, skirt: UO, purse+necklace: vintage, sunnies: Oakley, watch: Michael Kors

sad you can't see the little gold specs in my top but you get the main point==awesomeness! this and the last post have two of my newest favorite tops, always been more prone to buying tops vs bottoms. most people probably are. the skirt isn't new but this is it's first blog appearance-you like?

hope everyone's weekend was a goodie!

off the wall

meet my new asymmetrical floral top-

isn't she pretty?!

i've found myself buying lots of pieces that have little bits of lace detail something i've been drawn to for a while now.

happy mid-week!

Festival Fashion: Outside Lands

how amazing is Free People's street style coverage of Outside Lands in San Francisco? these ladies are rocking some great festival threads and inspiring me like crazy with transitional ideas for the quickly approaching Fall wardrobe. several pairs of boots, purses and sweaters im wanting to steal right about now!

for more photos check out their Facebook album.

vacation(s)

finally developed my 35mm Holga and was quite pleased with how my adventures on film turned out:

(4th of July weekend-parent's lake house-Tuscaloosa, AL)

(Ocean Beach, California/Lake Tuscaloosa)

(emma key & i-Lake Tuscaloosa)

(Botanical Gardens-Balboa Park-San Diego)

(Balboa Park artist village squirrel-so freakin cute!)

(San Diego water front/Cactus Gardens)

(black bikini via H&M, super jumps via Smith family genes!)

speaking of vacations for the past week i've been in Cocoa Beach, FL which is to blame for the hiatus of posts since i've been on a beach or boat since. back on dry land and heading to Atlanta tonight, sadly, but wishing i could spend a few more days at the beach with my folks-

back to reality!

Coveted Closet

(all photos via Purse'N Boots, collages by me)

For lots of you she is a familiar face but for the those who don't know her - meet Ashley of Purse'N Boots. a stylist and fashion blogger living in LA this lady has one of my FAVORITE wardrobes out there. her jewelry collection is off the wall and her purse and boots stash is just as fierce! with a great sense of fashion also comes her humor, she's freakin hilarious! the commentary under her outfits has me laughing cause sometimes fashion is sometimes just silly!

she's also good pals with fellow California blogger Krystal of What is Reality Anyways and between those two closets they have me envious.

check out more of her fabulous wardrobe here:
