Last weekend was a magical one. Jessica and Cathy, the founders of Southern Blog Society, hosted a wonderful brunch for 15 members at Cooks Hall in Atlanta. Well planned doesn’t even begin to describe it. These ladies thought of everything: a fashion blogger photographer (the talented Beka), personalized menus, and the most amazing gift bag known to (wo)man.
I wore an Opening Ceremony dress from Rent the Runway. It was perfect for brunch because I could loosen the tied waistband – not that I needed to, ahem.
Opening Ceremony dress • Kenneth Jay Lane cuff • Payless shoes (a designer collab from years ago – originally Lar’s shoes)
The absolutely best part about the whole weekend was getting to see old friends and meet so many new blogging friends. It’s always a bit surreal when you finally get to meet someone in person that you feel like you already know because you’ve been reading her blog for months. I’ve included a complete list of the attendees and links to their blogs so you can check them all out.
Those flower crowns in the photo below? They’re from the super creative and talented Allison Rhee of Flower Crown Society. I loved my flower crown so much that I attended Allison’s event at Free People this past weekend where I got to make my own fresh flower crown – see?
A big thank you to Rebekah Carson Photographer for most of these photos!

Dearest Lar,
I’m not going to go on about how much I wish you could have been at the brunch – but I really wish you could have been there! You would have loved meeting everyone.
I can’t believe that these past two weekends have been so busy. I feel like I haven’t Skyped you in forever! Do you have time to Skype during the week? I desperately need some quality sister time.
Hope you’re having a good week.
Love, Cath
I so wish I could have been there too, Cath! You all look gorgeous — I love how everyone dressed in such vibrant colours. And those flower crows are beeyootiful!
Can we skype midweek? Are you around post-work my time on Wednesday? I think that’s about 1pm your time.
The week has been good, but I have a hiking hangover from Pitlochry on Sunday — too much hill tramping. Maybe it was the ugly shoes.
Miss you like mad!
xoxoxox, Lar
Aww – you all look wonderful and I definitely want a flower crown now. And can I just say how colorful this post is? I love it!
