At The Goat Farm: Chic Racers
What has two heels and four wheels? The Chic Racers entry for the Atlanta Red Bull Soapbox Race, of course. When social entrepreneur Rosalynn Wilson asked how the zany competition might promote her company, Georgia Tech students (l-r) David Torello, Jamie Zahorian, Eliot Quon and Kemp Kernstine responded with a plan for a yoked pair of bicycles-as-pumps that just might roll over Nancy Sinatra's boots. Fueled by Red Bull, the quintet are working 'round the clock on behalf of Bottle Bar & Bistro, Chic Boutique Tour, Sage Naturalceuticals and Saving Our Communities. Come to Piedmont Park on June 9 and cheer them down the Tenth Street hill.

Perhaps you also follow blogs like Let's Go Ride A Bike, Lovely Bicycle and VĂ©lo Vogue, which celebrate city dwellers going about their daily lives aboard bicycles designed for more for transportation than speed. Are the bags, baskets and bells offered by the New York boutique Adeline Adeline the sorts of things you would want to 'try for size' before accessorizing your wheels? Then welcome the arrival of Houndstooth Road in bike-friendly Decatur, where names like Bella Ciao and Bobbin, Pashley and Pilen mingle with reflective designs from Cyclodelic and Vespertine NYC. Safety never looked so chic. Versatile Asuntaba Bicycle Baskets from House of Talents can serve as panniers or hang from the handle bars. This exotic emporium is found at 316 Church Street and will be open during the Decatur Artists Market May 26 and 27.

Meet Me In Miami
Thursday night atop the W Hotel in Buckhead promise to be the time and place where It's So Miami. The Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau wish to tempt you with tropical tidbits, tunes by DJ Irie and a trip to their town for a lucky Atlantan. Tell them you are coming by clicking on the invitation. See you there!
On Howell Mill: Tables Turned
Inviting a photographer to appear on this blog resulted in a portrait of me when I encountered Carolyn Carr on the West Side. Paying a complement and hearing the same in return brightened my day. Her puffy sleeves are the work of Chan Lu and came from Ann Mashburn. Sam Edelman wedges of the same hue complete the look. My Charvet shirt was found in Revolution 11, the Onyx belt, Stefan's and the seersucker shorts were thrifted.
L.L. Bean's iconic boat tote is an old friend.
