Hello from Atlanta! It has been a beautiful, crisp, fall weekend in Atlanta! I’ve worn a trench coat or a peacoat every day this weekend and LOVED it. Those of you who have sisters know how special a little dedicated sister time is. Well, that’s what I got this weekend with my sister, Sarah (you know her from here!). We’ve had the best time trying new restaurants, window shopping, seeing family, watching football, and visiting with friends. I seriously loved Gunshow, Ladybird, Amer, Bread & Butterfly, and JCT Kitchen. Atlanta has such an interesting food and drink scene! I hope everyone has had a glorious weekend! Yesterday was Veteran’s Day so I want to say a huge, never-ending thank you to all of our Veterans in this country. Not just Saturday but everyday, I’m grateful for your service.
P.S. those of you who read my Sitting Pretty With Interview with Sarah and have reached out to her about planning trips together are so amazing! I’m biased but I think she’s the BEST in the business!
