Cath and I mainly gravitate towards the art festivals, but we love them all: film, jazz, food, beer, wine. And it all happens outside under the shady leaves of our distinct Atlanta neighborhoods: Decatur, Inman Park, Cabbage Town, Candler Park, Piedmont Park, (locals, feel free to chime in with anyone I've forgotten).
This past weekend was the Dogwood Festival. Cath went and ate funnel cake without me- oh curse her! But this weekend I will triump at the Inman Park Festival with fried dough, corndogs and beer... oh yeah, and all the awesome art that's on display. It's like a consumption-fest of the best kind: replete with people-watching, a famous parade, live music, and everyone will be there. Seriously you guys should come too!
If you need to catch a break from the heat, pop into Jac, one of our favorite local boutiques. They are having an awesome sale: 25% off nonsale items- oh and sweet things to eat and champagne! Here's a few of our favorite items: dresses by Dallin Chase, Built by Wendy, and shoes by Cynthia Vincent. Not a local? You can shop Jac online too!
Also, don't forget to stop by June Shin's booth. If $200 boutique dresses aren't in your budget, a Guns 'n' Roses ring (only $24!) just might be (you can also purchase June's jewelry at her etsy shop).
Of course, as true Decaturites we are saving a lot of our funnel-cake money for the Decatur Arts Festival (May 23-24). Oh, you'll be hearing/seeing a lot more about this soon!
Hope to see you guys sometime this spring/summer season! Let us know where you'll be!

p.s. Thank you to all you guys for giving me great, cheaper alternatives to The Shoes (see post below). Get ready for some D.I.Y. madness coming your way soon!

$200?! That's about a third of my pitiful Chinese wages out here. *sigh* can't wait to get a proper job...
Thanks for visiting my blog (^-^) I'm enjoying reading yours; I love the lashes and lips t-shirt on your post a few days ago - I have a similar one but with my clevage it's not quite so flattering, teehee!
MMMMM funnel cake and corn dogs- I want them NOW even though it's only 6:30am here!! Sounds so fun!!

Ohhhh such pretty things. That ring is great!
Can't wait! It's going to be so much fun! I'll be updating twitter and FB with my exact location, so be on the lookout!
I'm lusting over the Dallin Chase dress...lusting. I will continue to lust all day long. I've put myself on shopping restriction. I'm a little out of control.
Love...
This weekend is going to be B-E-A-utiful for the festival! Have a blast!
Aw, I wish I could go to the festival!I love the ring; I'm glad it's available online.

There's also the Grant Park Summer Shade festival. And this year the Atlanta Jazz Festival will be in Grant Park!
Ahhh festivals, nothing like warm beer, fried foods of all kinds, and the best people watching of the year. Have fun! I'll be jealous, waiting for the mercury to climb over 50 here...

Oh that floral bandeau dress is really gorgeous! That festival sounds really fun! I would love to go to an art festival.
You've got me jealous! I'm going to see if there are any fests like this in my area, pronto! I guess even if we aren't so lucky, there's always Etsy! :)
