-noms on shoes-

Oh my goodness. If today wasn't eventful, then I don't know what is. My mother, father, sister and I decided to head up to Atlanta. Mom had to pick some things up from Ikea, and my sister needed some tights from Target. Somehow, though, I talked my family into visiting Little Five Points - a delicious part of Atlanta with a plethora of vintage shops, bookstores, fortune tellers, and taverns. I had so much fun, and visited some awesome stores. In this one called the 'Psycho Sisters' (how cool is that?) I picked up two vintage dresses. One, being a peasant style, and a dark purple with a floral pattern. I absolutely adore it. The funny (and sad) thing, though, is that my mom owned a dress almost identical to it when she was my age, but it was blue. She decided to shred it for whatever reason when I was just a baby, and today she remembered about it and kicked herself in the butt for not saving it for me.
The other dress is a sleevless corduroy and calico dress. It's nothing fancy, and obviously homemade. But, the colors are great, it fits well, and best of all, it will match my new....
Knee-high MOCCASINS!
I have been drooling over these $75 Minnetonka moccasins for so long, and when my dad lost the eBay bid on a used pair a few days ago, I was heartbroken. So, when I walked past a shoe shop in Little Five Points, I practically fainted on the sidewalk to see the exact pair my dad had lost the bid on, happily smiling at me from behind the glass. I ran in, tried them on, and walked out of the store with the last chunk of my Christmas present. I am so in love with them. Also, another weird thing is the fact that my mom also owned the exact same pair of shoes when she was my age, as well. Haha! Some things really are inherited, yeah?

Anywho, after leaving Little Five Points with my nommy finds (oh how I wish we could have stayed longer than we did!), we headed off to The Container Store, Ikea, and Target. For dinner we had Joe's Crab Shack, and it was delicious, of course. But, however much my parents object, Joe's Crab Shack is nothing compared to the Fishing Peddlar in town. That place is so eclectic and delicious and nothing you would expect in the kind of town I live in (ick!).

So, all in all, I would call this a wonderfully profitiable, chilly, and fun day. Night!
