I had a glorious weekend that was equal parts productive and fun. The productive part? My friend and I had a joint yard sale where I got rid of half my bag collection – I really only need five black purses, not ten – and other odds and ends. The fun part? The Atlanta Indie Craft Experience on Sunday:
H&M jumper • Lar’s Bottega Veneta purse • shoes from Shopbop
I.C.E. Atlanta is like a giant Etsy festival – talented crafters as far as the eye can see. This year it was held at Ambient Plus Studio and the Good Food Truck was parked outside so I was able to get my hands on an Island Cone: spicy tamarind cone filled with cold Jamaican jerk sweet potato salad, coconut rice and topped with mango sour cream. Soooo good.
So it was great weekend followed by my first day back at school, ugh. At least there are two huge events to look forward to this week. Lar and I are hosting a Google hangout on Thursday at 6 p.m., so make sure to follow AsianCajuns on Google+ and we’ll give more details soon. The second event is the Style Bloggers of Color Conference/Mattiepalooza this weekend. I can’t wait to see my fellow Atlanta fashion bloggers – they all prove this wrong!

Dear Lar,
I wish you could have explored the Indie Craft Experience with me and Alison. You would have been inspired by all the creativity in the room. I bought you a little gift that I’ll be sending you as part of a little birthday package.
It was actually in the 60s on Saturday morning when I was working at the yard sale and I was cold! I think my skin is way too thin for Scottish weather. When I’m come in August, you’ll be the one wearing shorts and I’ll be the one wearing fleece-lined pants and a winter coat.
love you! xoxo, Cath
Cath, you look so awesome in the H&M jumper — and you and Alison look super-awesome in your photobooth pic. I sooo wish I could have been there too! And thank you for picking up a prezie for me xoxoxo.
I can’t believe Atlanta is No. 7 for worst-dressed city – tsk, tsk. So glad you guys are proving them wrong.
Hope class went well last night. Can’t wait to hear about it on skype today!
xxoxoxoxo,
Lar
Class was so fun! Just kidding. But it was nice to see friends from last semester.
I know Atlanta is by no means the fashion capital, but worst dressed? Apparently it had to do with the real housewives – not sure if that’s true. Ugh.
xoxo, cath
Oh boo! What other city is judged by it’s Housewives? come on!!!
omg that jumper is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, lady!
I was totally confused at the whole jumper thing as being British, I was on the lookout for a sweater! Anyway, it is really lovely and the print on it is adorable!
That craft fair sounds amazing, as does your yard sale. I could have used those 5 black bags! Sucks I missed both. Your jumper is super cute btw 🙂
Cute jumper! Looks like you had a fab time.
Thanks for this amazing blog, it’s just awesome.
