WANTED: Mandy Coon

Mandy Coon, In Between Days Jumpsuit, $810, openingceremony.us

"Rough edged romanticism!"- Mandy Coon

I absolutely,positively ADORE this partial leather jumpsuit. This jumpsuit is perfect for any occasion. I could wear this to an art opening, go get coffee in this, go to an important interview in this, or even eat a humongus extra messy hamburger in this and still look amazing. I can do SO much with this if I had it! There are no accessories needed but would look great with bold necklaces, piled on rings or piled on bracelets. I could put a maxi skirt on top of this and turn it into a dress, wear it with a red blazer, wear a colorful floral turban, studded loafers,etc. This is really a fall must have and if I can spulrge on anything this fall, it would be this versatile, easy transitoning, chic piece. I love you Mandy Coon!

P.S. This model's gray hair dye job is AMAZING!

My adventure to the Sweet Auburn Farmers Market.

Woke up at 9 am Saturday morning to go to the Sweet Auburn Market with my friend Sydia. We had so much fun walking around, trying out new pastries and burritos from a place that was created in California. We found so many meats we have never seen before(Pig Ears, turkey feet,), pure honey and freshly baked bread. This market had a sit down area with many vendors selling Jamaican, Soul food, Burritos and even Indian food! 

Head in a mountain of bread! I was so excited to be at the market!

My friend, Sydia, liked the sound of this!

Freshly baked cupcakes made by Sweet Auburn Bakery. I left with Pumpkin Tea Bread! It was sooo delicious!

Nothing but fresh, delicious, healthy veggies! I found some new veggies to cook with also!

I've never seen bell peppers that big and healthy before!

Wildflower honey....I was curious about this and what it actually tasted like. Unfortch, I didnt leave with any. I need to google it and find out more.

Black Eyed Peas by the pound!

 I bought some sliced yams for $2 to make some at home.

After a long day, I needed to get some burritos in my system!

I plan on visiting the Decatur Farmers Market soon, which I hear is the best farmers market in Georgia, is ridiculously big(5 times bigger than this one) and has rows and rows of spices. I was looking for spices at the Sweet Auburn and they didn't have any, which was a bummer!

Current Obsession

So in the midst of building a business plan for a future store(cross fingers) of mine and looking for brands to buy  for my store, guess what I found? I found these beautiful trousers. These are Pendleton for Opening Ceremony and  Oh.mah. gahhh! These pants are such a dream! I love anything that is kaleidoscopic or navajo and these pants are both! The print is so crazy, the colors are so bright, the high waist is perfect...I love everything about these pants. I can't even talk about it anymore. Maybe I'll make this a fall splurge??? 

Pendleton for Opening Ceremony $440 100%wool www.openingceremony.us 

I love fresh produce!

Going to the  Local Farmer's Market tomorrow and I AM SO EXCITED! Fresh produce, many herbs and spices, fresh meat, fresh and local anything! I'm ready to cook with new veggies and spices! I need to pick up some banana chips too, while I'm thinking about it!  I have been putting this off since I first moved to Atlanta almost three years ago! I will make sure to take photos and share with you guys! Goodnight!

Whenever I move to Mexico City, this is what I would wear for days.

I went home to New Orleans this past weekend and had the time of my life! More importantly, I did some shopping that I shouldn't have been. Luckily, I went to "look around" because I found so much stuff that has been missing from my life and from my closet.  I bought this cute American Rag Maxi Dress and I COULD NOT wait to wear it! I am so excited about it in fact, that I am even showing you photos of it with use of my blurry Macbook Pro Camera. This dress is a perfect summer dress but also transitions well into fall. I can put this on with a navy blazer, leather jacket, combat boots, wedges, oxfords, really anything! This is probably my new favorite thing in my closet. 

Don't mind my messy room. 

One shouldered, comfortable, colorful yet muted. I think this dress is great. 

Dress: American Rag, Belt: Flea market find, Watch: Betsey Johnson

Obviously I love floral.
