FRIENDSGIVING: #EWEFG2015.

You guyyys! Happy Turkey Week! [It is also my momma girl's birthday!] 'Tis officially the season for good eatin'. One of my favorite parts of Atlanta #bloglife is the opportunity I have had to meet such a cool group of driven, smart and supportive girls. Case in point, I met Erica from Eating With Erica on Instagram. SO 2015 of us, right? Word to the wise, when a food blogger invites you to a meal, you GO. You arrive early. And you wear a sequined pant. When @eatingwitherica mentioned she was hosting a friendsgiving at Einstien's and that there would be complimentary Goza Tequila cocktails, I could not get there fast enough.

The sequin leggings I donned are currently HALF OFF. (images from Express)

I really should have written this sooner as now I am going to bed starving. Such an awesome night of great food and even better company. Cannot WAIT to do it all again this week home in SC with my family! Happy Thanksgiving, my Gilties! I am majorly thankful for YOU!

ALL TASSEL, NO HASSLE.

You guys know I love a good accessory or seven. The bag charm trend has really come on in full-force this year, and I have to say I am totally on board. Not only are these little additions cute and versatile, but they make a great gift as well. Can you believe we are in 'gift ideas' season already!? Dead. The best part about mine from Mel Boteri is that it doubles as a charm on a wine bottle. Hostess with da mostest.

BEHIND THE SCENES: RAGTRADE ATLANTA.

So last week was a total whirlwind of all of my favorite things. Fashion, designers, runways and shopping. I could go on and on. RAGTRADE Atlanta is an amazing organization that seeks out and then promotes up and coming designers here in Atlanta, as well as all over the world. I am lucky enough to live in a city that is equally passionate AND supportive of the arts, and I try to jump at every opportunity to get involved. This year's RAGTRADE was no exception.

Night one was a cocktail party at Aloft Atlanta (SUCH a cool hotel, definitely planning a staycation there very soon). Night two was the fashion show at the Georgia Freight Depot, which was the by far the very best part. It was so inspiring to see the designers' lines come to life on the runway after all of their hard work. My favorite collection was by designer Edmond Newton (seen below), who is on the current season of Project Runway, but all of the shows were incredible to watch. Night three was a "sip & shop" event at Phipps Plaza and it ended on a major high with me winning the raffle! I am so thankful for a jobby (job + hobby) that allows me to meet and mingle with such an incredibly talented group of people. Feeling very humbled as I look back over the week.
