JapanFest is always pretty high on my list of “must-attend” Atlanta events every year (not surprising, since JapanFest has been one of my favorite annual festivals for several years now)! For over thirty years now, this Atlanta-area festival has celebrated the people and the culture of Japan, and over 20,000 participants attend each year. It’s […]
Atlanta United at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Today was the first Atlanta United game at the brand-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and let me tell you, it was impressive! The new Mercedes-Benz stadium is massive, with tons of amenities and surprisingly affordable concessions (you can get free Coke refills, too)! Next time, I’m either going to hit up the Fox Bros BBQ or Chick-fil-a […]
Art, Flowers, & Sunshine at the Piedmont Park Arts Festival
In mid-August, one of my absolute favorite free festivals was back in Piedmont Park- the Piedmont Park Arts Festival. One of the greatest perks of living in such a walkable city, in my opinion, is the amazing amount of free outdoor events happening all the time! (And I love writing about them, too. For example, […]
Atlanta’s Big Huge Tiny House Event
When we set out on our Sunday walk down the BeltLine today, we didn’t realize that the Big Huge Tiny House event was happening at Ponce City Market, right in our line of travel! This is the second annual Big Huge Tiny House event, and four tiny houses were featured for guests to explore. The […]
Global Runway ATL 2017 – Fashion & Flights
On May 18th, I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural Global Runway ATL event at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport. This fashion event, held in the International Terminal, was unlike any other fashion event I’ve attended before (& in the best way possible)! Firstly, I loved that the event was held during the daytime. It’s not […]
Georgia Renaissance Festival – What to Know Before You Go
The Georgia Renaissance Festival is one of my favorite annual Atlanta-area events, and I’ve been looking forward to attending for weeks! King Arthur: Legend of the Sword really got me in the medieval mood. The festival runs weekends from mid-April to early June in Fairburn, GA every year. Their last weekend in 2017 is June […]
Dardanella’s Great Gatsby Lawn Party
Last weekend, I went back in time to the Roaring Twenties at Dardanella’s Great Gatsby Lawn Party. This was Dardanella ’s first event in Atlanta, and after seeing photos from their previous events, I was super excited to check out the Great Gatsby Party! The event was held at The Wren’s Nest in the historic […]
Doggies on the Catwalk 2017
This past Saturday marked the 10th year of Doggies on the Catwalk, a local charity fashion event by fashionado benefiting Canine Assistants. Canine Assistants is a non-profit organization for service dog training, and y’all… the puppies actually walk the runway with the human models! I was in dog heaven. The event was held outdoors at […]
Lunch Style at the Sun Dial
A weekend brunch at the Sun Dial in Atlanta is one of my favorite ways to feel really fancy without breaking the bank. The Sun Dial, located downtown, offers a revolving view of the Atlanta area from 72 stories up… and the food is delicious! Brunch and lunch is much more affordable than dinner, so […]
It’s a Wrap (Dress)!
Today I’m talking about wrap dresses, aka the perfect dresses for every type of weather. This cute wrap dress from Chadwick’s is super stylish and comfy, and it’s also long enough that wayward breezes won’t cause you any fashion faux-pas! I actually got this wrap dress two summers back when I was looking for cute outfits […]
