I know I have been a little poncho-obsessive (understatement) lately, but I Promise next week’s posts are completely poncho-free! Sometimes, I get stuck on something I really like and enjoy wearing and well…you get it:) Next week, I am showcasing a very fun and flirty holiday party dress from the Loyd/Ford line with an A. Alaia red clutch, a statement green jumpsuit from Trina Turk with a fur-trim jacket and Jimmy Choo’s, and an outfit from the Joie’s “Soft” line –all from local Atlanta, GA boutiques. Can’t wait to share with you guys!

Below are some of my favorite Atlanta boutiques:

Tootsies, Women’s Fine Apparel, Evening Wear, Shoes, and Accessories

Luna, Women’s Fine Apparel, Jewelry and Accessories

Kendra Scott, Fine Jewelry and Accessories (Shops Around Lenox)

Jeffrey, Women’s Fine Apparel, Shoes, and Accessories (Phipps Plaza)

Intermix, Contemporary Clothing and Accessories

Tulipano, Women’s Fine Apparel

TGIF! Have a fun Weekend Peepaleeps!

Recently,  I had such a great shopping experience at the Anthropologie store in Lenox Mall, Atlanta, Georgia. They have a personal stylist there who works with you to point out items in the store that you may have otherwise never seen or overlooked…it is such a big store that unless you are in there consistently, you can miss certain things! Anyway, she pulled this camel-colored vest and tunic and I immediately knew it was a great fall outfit for my laid-back lifestyle. I think the hallmark of a really good stylist is being able to quickly assess someone’s personality and needs, making adjustments along the way. I love these Ray Ban sunglasses because they blend in well with my hair color and complexion…they also come in tortoise-shell.

If you are ever visiting the Augusta, Georgia area, I highly recommend spending a few hours out at the Savannah Rapids Park and Pavilion. It is such a beautiful, peaceful place and is perfect for a run/walk with trails running alongside the Savannah River; it is 33-acres and has picnic areas and waterfall views. You can rent bicycles, canoes or kayaks on the lower level or utilize one of the barbecue grilles for a picnic. It is such a “hidden gem” and will certainly be a highlight of your trip to the area. Reconnecting with nature is something I try and find time for each and every week!

Almost to the Weekend, Woop-Woop!

Happy “Hump” Day BLOOM girls! Halfway through the week- almost there! This is a great transitional outfit for when it is technically “fall,” but not really cool enough to wear full-on sweaters and coats. You can also wear this type of sweater vest over a long-sleeve dress when it cools down- it is just a really great neutral layering piece that can be worn many different ways. You don’t see too many girls wearing fedoras in the Southeast, but I just love this one from Rag & Bone- it is both practical and trendy.  If you want to add instant “fashion-forward” to your outfit, pair a fedora with it for flare (see above pictures for more colors & options) – I love it in navy for fall!

Happy Fall!

Xxoo, Anne
