Our dance friends are ridiculously stylish. Not only can they drape Ikea sheets like pros (see earlier post), they're also true fashionistas off stage. Below Becca and Stacey prove my point. Becca is dressed in vintage finds and Stacey is head to toe in Target - and they both look fabulous! You can check out another dancer friend's style on her own blog: Hiking in Stilettos.
A weekend would not be complete without a few stops in some local boutiques. DressCodes is one of our favorites - great clothing and a super cute (and friendly) guard dog.
After the Saturday night performance we celebrated with dessert at Cakes & Ale - Decatur's newest restaurant. The pistachio and strawberry ice cream Baked Alaska (left) is the best I've had. The Phatty Cakes (right) are soft ginger cookies with a creme filling - perfect with a cup of coffee from a French press.
While stuffing our faces with Phatty Cakes, we met fellow blogger and local jeweler extraordinaire June Shin. More on that in another post!
To sum it up, a good time was had by all. I wouldn't mind having more weekends like this one.

Cute pooch!
That is THE cutest doggy ever, I am dying for a pet dog, so I really really love that dog, I'll have to show the picture to my fiance ;)
That food looks delicious, I am STARVING, it is that time between dinner and lunch (and snacks) so my stomach is just craving those deserts :)
ok.... i need to go make myself coffee and dig our office pantry for some kind of desert, and I'm supposed to cut down on caffeine... so not helping...!
(*love teasing you guys*)
the dog is adorable! I want to try a phatty cake.
Your baked alaska is making me drool! And the post on Celia Birtwell is making me rethink Express. I usaully poo-poo it but this line looks like it could be worthwhile!
Those look delish!

thanks for the tag!! i'll post asap!

I've never heard of Phatty Cakes but then again, they don't sound like something I should learn more about. Well, maybe just one...

You guys always do the best things and eat the best foods!!!
Were any pictures taken of the performance? I'd love to see them, I love modern dance almost as much as I love ballet.
Hi Tam Pham! Thanks for the welcome back!
Wendyb, we couldn't agree more.
On Track, looking back at this post makes me want a puppy and dessert too!
Lynn, we actually got decaf coffee and it was still delicious - so you can cut back too ;)
Natasha, the phatty cakes are soooo good!
August, I'm glad someone agrees with me about express. They're stores are huge, but they never have anything good.
Stephanie, trust me, it was!
A, i can't wait to see what you post next!
Danz, you'd think that eating something called a Phatty cake would make you feel, well, fat - but it's so delicious you can't feel guilty!
Secretista, that's why are wallets are always empty! ;)
Muriel, yay! a modern dance fan. Unfortunately all the performance pics came out blurry. Maybe next time!
oh my god, that baked alaska just forced me to look up flight prices to atlanta!
