'Tis ever a treat to encounter a local designer rocking his own look. Thank you, Katherine, for introducing me to David, the author of Marvé Menswear.

Eco Style: Julie Bee's Shoes

Julie Brown possesses the sort of infectious enthusiasm that is also focused. No energy does she waste and the proof is found in a fully realized line of shoes bearing her name. All are California-made from sustainably produced or reused materials.

Indie Craft Experience, Part V

Longtime readers may remember her previous appearances. Ever bohemian, she artfully applies rough edges for a look all her own.

Julie Bee's shoes first came to my attention at an Eco Style South trunk show last year. By sourcing anew with an eye to sustainability and upcycling vintage materials, Ms. Brown has produced an enviable line of footwear right here in Atlanta.

Thursdays At Paris On Ponce

Born in Washington and raised in Richmond, I'm rather fond of this flask. It was made by Bethany of Foxboxes and came from their trunk show at Paris On Ponce. Atlanta's emporium of bohemian delights is keeping Thursday hours until nine o'clock this holiday season. Care to try your hand at something crafty?
My sweetheart and her sister attended this evening terrarium workshop and so may you.

In Grant Park: The Hands Of An Artist

Some of you may remember this summertime encounter with painter Lydia Walls. Yesterday we met again, when it was time to take delivery of a most special portrait. Done is the manner of her 100 Southerners, the five inch square depicts our beloved Biscuit. Visit Walls' estsy shop here.

At Beth Ann Style: Touchstone Collection

Beth Ann Taratoot has been a friend of this blog from its early days, so when she invited me to see this Touchstone trunk show,
I had to post about it. Such shopping is an education. Her friend Veronica Kaplan is a curator of folk art rarities, many of which are on display today and tomorrow at the Irby Avenue boutique. Gentlemen: the Rib Ranch is nearby, but you should spend a few momements in awe of the artistry before withdrawing. Ladies: while some of the prices do reflect the offerings' unique natures,
all are good values and start from $30.

Save The Date: Weekend Vintage Jewelry Show

Bring your bling to Worthmore for appraisal this Saturday in Midtown or Sunday in Decatur. While there, be sure to investigate their treasures both old and new, holiday cheer and great outfits!

Street Scene: North Highland Avenue

More than just eye catching, some outfits tell wonderful stories, too. She remembers mending this thrifted coat while waiting for a train in France. Her repurposed bag began life as a Polaroid accessories case. The boots were won from an eBay auction and the dress was found at a Youngblood Gallery clothing swap.

ArtCAN, Act VI

It was my good fortune to have attended ArtCAN as a media guest. The evening of dance, music, fine art and hors d'oeuvres benefited pancreatic cancer research and took place in the Atlanta Ballet's Michael C. Carlos Dance Centre. Their coordinating heels, handkerchief and bowtie make a charming statement of solidarity.
