WEEKEND IN ATLANTA!

My mom and I had so. much. fun. in Atlanta this weekend. We picked up a ton of new goodies for Design Darling (I am so excited to roll them out in the coming weeks!!!) and made a little time to take you up on some of your fabulous travel recommendations. Here are a few moments from our trip...

AmericasMart is huge. I've been to trade shows in New York before but really nothing could have prepared me for just how massive this space is: three buildings, eighteen floors, lots of ugly design, and a few really awesome hidden gems just perfect for Design Darling! :)

I was so excited to finally see Ann Mashburn's space in person! The store is beautiful, the salespeople are so stylish I wanted to snap their pictures, and I could have bought one of everything in the store. A must-see!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. I'm not a crazy flavors kind of girl but the coffee ice cream at Jeni's was dee-lish.

I got to meet up with two of my college roommates who are living in Atlanta. We had a super casual catch-up night over margaritas at Tacqueria del Sol — I highly recommend. I hadn't seen either of them in eighteen months but we just picked up right where we left off. I love friends like that and I loved seeing them both so happy.

My mom and I wrapped up our weekend with brunch at Sun In My Belly. I was obsessed with these colorful mason jars... And the food was out of this world. The perfect end to a perfect trip! Note to self: get back to Atlanta ASAP!

WEEKEND WARDROBE

Mango dress ($79!)  //  T+J Designs necklace  //  J.Crew clutch  //  Kate Spade riding boots (on sale!)

I bought these Kate Spade riding boots and it was basically love at first sight when they arrived this week. (Although you should order a half size up if you're on the fence!) Unfortunately it's been such a rainy/slushy/snowy mess in New York that I've been afraid to wear them outside my apartment. Thankfully my mom and I are on our way to Atlanta (thank you SO much for all your recommendations!) so I'll finally be able to wear them in weather that isn't downright miserable. Have a good one and be sure to follow along on Instagram!

YOU NEED THIS DRESS.

I know it's so cold outside you can barely think, but... Consider this your public service announcement for the dress of spring/summer: Mink Pink's scalloped little white dress. For all of you who couldn't get enough of J.Crew's scalloped dress this past summer, this is a no-brainer, especially because — get this — it's only $71. I KNOW. I have a feeling this baby will sell out before the temperature gets above freezing so order yours right here!

P.S. My favorite dress from last summer is still available too!
