Have you guys met Mae yet (see her blog Thereafterish if you haven’t)? Cath and I were over-the-moon when she wrote us a few months back to let us know she would be in Decatur for a wedding – all the way from Detroit.
We only had a few hours for our fashion blogger meet up last Saturday, so we decided to take Mae on a mini whirlwind tour of Decatur. Check out her amazing post on the afternoon here.
First stop: Leon’s for some delicious food and drinks.
Next stop: Squash Blossom Boutique – one of our favorite shops ever. Mae and I fell in love with Puma, the store mascot.
Habitat for Humanity installed seven playhouses on the square for the week and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take blogger outfit shots. Below Lar is the photog and Mae is the gorgeous street style model. If only Tommy Ton was in Decatur that day!
I loved Mae’s Dolce Vita wedges – the back zips have tassels! My Aldo shoes (in the background) are some of my most comfortable summer heeled sandals that I own. I really think a girl can never have too many nude heels, so I’m adding Mae’s wedges to my wish list.
A close-up of an amazing gift from Lar: a buttery leather, orange Clare Vivier clutch. It’s my new all-time favorite accessory. I can actually fit my cell, wallet, coin purse, lip gloss and a notebook in it without a struggle.
Mae and Lar tried to get a few outfit pictures of me standing in front of the Mondrian-ish house, but the crazy running, screaming kids totally freaked me out. I think I was born without a maternal gene – eesh.
I built my outfit around my new clutch: Michael Stars sunglasses, thrifted silk top, American Apparel shorts and a Nixon watch from Worthmore Jewelers.
I loved Lar’s outfit – and hair! She pulled her hair up in a high, half ponytail and wore white sunnies from Rockit Boutique. The dress is from Creature Comforts (I bought it for her when I was out in LA last summer), American Apparel skirt, and Jeffrey Campbell shoes.
Our last stop was Rockit Boutique where we ran into another fashion blogger.
It was a perfect fashion blogger day.
The absolute best thing about writing this blog is the amount of wonderful people we’ve met because of it and our day with Mae completely encapsulated that. Thanks for visiting Mae, come back soon!
love your nude aldo sandals! do you know the style name? thanks!
Hi Rose,
They’re by Mia, but I can’t remember the style name. I got them on Amazon.
you girls look like you had a blast! thanks so much for sharing mae’s site.it’s new to me, and i love it!
also, can i just say i’m so jealous of the lovely weather you guys are having. all of the warm weather clothing is making me wish it was warm here. actually, today it is suppose to get into the upper 60s here.*sigh*
Blogger BFFs forever!
I would love to see you girls again. I hope so!!
Thanks again for showing me such a great time–and for being so generous with your time (and gas tank!)! Loved it. Best day ever.
And yeah, I felt exactly the same way you did about those little girls darting in and out like crazy fish. MORE IN COMMON! 😛

Mae Lu @ thereafterish.!
how awesome! i love her wedges too!
This looks like it was such a fun blogger date. Incidentally, is Leon’s the same place that serves bacon strips in a glass? Or is that another place? (I get your Decatur eateries mixed up!)
What cute playhouses, and the perfect backdrop for outfit photos! Looks like a fun meet-up.

Cath, I love your outfit! That top is so airy and delicately prrrreeeettty! And purple shorts? lOVE! And I’m like you, I’ve been eyeing those same Dolce Vita wedges, but I know I will never ever wear them because I am heel-inept.

Such fun photos and I loved your outfit – I also am a fan of Claire Vivier so it was nice to see her clutch on your blog 🙂 Gorgeous and thank you for sharing!
those french fries are bigger than your heads!! You guys are rocking great pops of color! ready for spring/summer 🙂
ive missed you girls 😀
I’m a huge fan of Thereafterish! So glad to see these posts. Everyone looks uber stylish. Love it!
I’ve been lusting after Clare Viver bags for a while now! They look great! I’m afraid this post has just made me want her stuff even more!!!
And now I also have to add those purple AA shorts to my must buy list! 🙂
Oh wow you guys look amazing and beautiful in these pics. Those little wendy houses are the cutest! I imagine they attracted quite a lot of noisy kids but are also, the cutest backdrop for your outfit pics! Looks like such a fun day!
I can’t decide which part of this post is my favorite- the amazing looking food, the gorgeous location, or the awesome outfits. Those dolce vita sandals are awesome!
I graduated in the same class as you at ASC, and I sponsor the Habitat for Humanity club at Tucker High that built that colorful playhouse you are standing in front of! J’Adore the ring and clutch with the house in the background!
Great blog – glad to see you are doing so well!
Hey Briana! So good to hear from you. That playhouse was awesome! I wish all of the playhouses could be permanently installed on the MARTA plaza.
Can I please steal a fry?
omg i’m so jealous!! when do i get to hang out with you ladies!!!
