It’s 1 a.m. here (6 a.m. in Scotland), I’m taking a break from working on my midterm due in a few days, but I’m happy. Why? Oh because I just happen to be eating the most delicious sorbet ever! AsianCajun readers, meet High Road Craft Ice Cream and Sorbet. High Road, meet the AsianCajun readers. I’ve already inhaled half a pint of Berries and Prosecco sorbet. It’s amazing. And I purchased it at my local grocer, Oakhurst Market.
Outfit details: DIY necklace, Derek Lam jacket from Lar, H&M skirt, Aldo shoes, Kate Spade bag and Wild Heaven Ode to Mercy four pack.
Oakhurst Market opened in the summer and it’s the type of intown grocery market you dream of having on your street corner. I feel pretty gosh darn lucky to live within a ten minute walk to this place – chock-a-block with local treats (hello High Road, Wild Heaven and Wynatte!). I ended up driving there tonight because I was coming from work and wearing heels – go ahead, judge me if you must!
I was laughing in the photo above because Troy and I had spent the previous five minutes trying to find a place in the market with enough lighting to take an outfit photo. Right before he took the photo, one of the guys working at the market walked by and said, “Pretty picture time!” or something like that and made me feel more at ease. I know I’ve been doing this style blog thing for a while, but I still feel awkward every time I have to pose for a photo.
I usually feel really self conscious taking outfit photos in a very public place. Most of my shots come out looking like this:
Luckily Troy is patient enough to put up with my antics and take photos using my not-so-great camera phone. I promise I’ll start using the better camera once I can remember to pack it with me everyday!
Do you guys remember Lar blogging about this necklace? She diy-ed it from a curtain tie and I love it. That and her Derek Lam jacket (she wore it here) are just two of the amazing things she left me as she headed off to Scotland.
Oh crap. I just dripped some sorbet on my keyboard. That’s a sure sign that I’m up way too late. I’ll leave you with these two other images from the market (and some botched outfit photo attempts) so you can get a better idea of what is offered there. For those of you who live in Atlanta, you must make a visit to Oakhurst Market! And for those of you who don’t, you can buy High Road ice cream online!
P.S.: Last night I went to the Alternative Apparel Preview Party at JCT and got to meet a few of the local style bloggers that I’ve wanted to meet for years. What a great evening. A post is coming soon!
Kitcath, I swear you wear all my clothes better than I did! So glad I could give them to you!!!
I miss you lots n lots! I can’t believe we never went to the Market before I left – sounds deeelightful!
Can’t wait to see you on skype this evening!
xoxoxox, Larbar
I didn’t realize you never went to Oakhurst Market! I guess it’s something you can look forward to when you come home for visits – heehee. And I definitely DON”T wear clothes better than you. I always keep it boring. Pencil skirt and top, pencil skirt and top etc.
Hope you’re having a good nights sleep!
love, cath
omg cath you crack me up! i’m sitting at work reading your blog (shhh!) and i see that 2nd picture of you and i started laughing at my desk.
Yes! Makes posting that photo totally worth it 🙂
Oh it’s so strange to think that one of you are now blogging in my time zone! I love that second photo, so cute! I’m exactly the same when it comes to taking photos in a public space.I still haven’t mastered relaxing in public spaces and getting photos taken!
I wonder if posing in public will ever feel natural!
It’s crazy to think that you and Lar are only a few hours away from each other. There needs to be a blogger meet up! Just wait until I come to visit in December, okay?
Cath, that sorbet flavor sounds like yum yum yummers! I just checked out the site and good gosh, there are so many delectable options! AND they come in 6-packs! I most totally love that second photo of yours! When we take pictures in public, I have a ton of pics where I look like I don’t want to have my picture taken. hahaha!
Heehee. I’m so glad you can relate! I just feel so self conscious when I pose in public.
A six pack of ice cream sounds like heaven! Let me know if you order some 🙂
Aw, I want that sorbet now!!! LOL, that’s the Grumpy Bear face Nate gives me when I make him do outfit shots of me anywhere. Even at home.

Mae Lu @ thereafterish.!
Next time you’re in town, we’ll have to get some of that sorbet! Hopefully they ship to Hawaii 🙂
Most bfs just don’t understand fashion blogging! *sigh*
You are just too Cute! Those are some Seriously Cute heels!
Haha you are too cute, Cath. I feel the same way about getting my outfit pictures taken! I need to check out this Oakhurst Market for sure. Sorbet sounds just about perfect right now. BTW love the jacket you scored from your sis!
Hey Cath!! Okay, seriously, I need to find that sorbet for my husband. He loves novelty foodsand this is right up his alley.
It was so nice meeting you last week at the Alternative Apparel party! Hopefully, I’ll see you around more often.
