"Dont float the Mainstream"


This past weekend I attended the Sweet Water Beer Festival in Atlanta Georgia. This is an awesome charity event put on in Atlanta's beautiful Candler Park. Fun jam bands play all weekend along with there being a ton of awesome Eco-friendly vendors selling handmade goods ranging in everything from organic dog treats to just blown glass jewelry. Its free to get in if you are not drinking but if you are you buy a five dollar wrist band that goes straight to the caring of the park. Oh yeah not to mention Sweetwater and local breweries sell their exclusive beers for this event. I had a lot of fun and will definitely be going back. Its nice to get away from my little college town and get back to a taste of the big city life I grew up around.


This festival made me ready for all things outdoors and warm. 

Like reviewing all of the relaxed looks from Coachella this year.

Wish i could buy her long hair and long legs in stores!
Not sure about the Tory shoes AND clutch but I do like the idea of mixing something a little more mainstream with a bohemian dress.
I love everything about this picture. Kate looks like she hopped right out of the seventies and what a sweet boyfriend for letting her get a better view on his shoulders.
Love a good scarf on the head with aviators combo.
Her hair + that shawl/vest/scarf makes her long so elongated and flowy.


Hello Summer Nights
This is my cool nights summer outfit im dying to put together. High waisted jeans, cropped flowy floral tank, chunky sweater, and nude heels. 
Farmers Market
Im dying to try to pull off some tall socks with my brown flat boots. Im not exactly sure whether to wear the combo with shorts or a dress but im definitely thinking a sweater or summery scarf is necessary to balance out the heaviness.


Now its time to hit the books. Wish me luck. Finals...here I come.


Love,
Erin M.

Jet-Setting and House Projects...


Palm Springs
This will be my travel outfit for my flight to Palm Springs in a few weeks. My beautiful cousin Katie is getting married. I will be singing in this wedding which scares me to no end. 

I happen to LOVE people watching in airports and I always love meeting a friendly stranger sitting next to me in-flight. One time I met the man who invented glow in the dark fish.

I would just die to hop back into the 60's and be a fabulous retro flight attendant.


The Rapping Flight Attendant 


 I love this video. My family always flies Southwest and that is fine by me because I have never had anything but easy security, super friendly service, and sometimes if im lucky a fun flight with a song or rap during the "In case of emergency" speech.




But before I head out to California I want to knock out a few DIY home projects for my house next year at Alabama. 


From this...


TO THIS!


And

This cool mirror for my future super earthy bedroom(more about that later) but I want to spray paint mine a cool color after. Hopefully you will still be able to see the great texture of the twigs and wood.




In my efforts to start going green I have been planning my garden I will be growing at my house next year. Considering I have gone from living in a dorm room to a sorority house in the past few years im really excited to have my first house. The time has come. So I will be posting a lot about my plans for decor and such. I have very little planting experience aside from some herbs. I want to plant Dill, Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Mint, tomatoes, potatoes, and lettuce. Let me know if you have any tips!





Look at this!

I love this special story from a very cool designer, Miss CK Bradley.
She designs some beautiful Lilly Pulitzer-like tunics but with a twist. Anything to do with the Lauren family i am obsessed with. I am sucker for all things Ralph Lauren. This is a photo from one of her catalogs.
Fun, right?




Whew, that was a novel of a post.

Always,
Erin
