When I first got this olive striped dress from Old Navy, I envisioned myself saving it to wear with leggings during the fall. To my surprise, it’s quickly become one of my summer staples! It’s insanely comfortable, and has a nice swing to it that keeps your legs cool during these crazy hot southern afternoons. […]
Atlanta Ice Cream Festival 2017
This summer has been a busy one, but as I mentioned in this recent post, there are plenty of fun ways to get outside for some much-needed R & R. For example, a couple of weekends ago was the 7th annual Atlanta Ice Cream Festival in Piedmont Park! I attended the festival last year, and […]
