Working Girl

This outfit is definitely on the conservative side of office dressing for me, but I suppose it's not half bad to try to look like an actual adult every once and a while. My smile in the photo on the bottom right does a better job of capturing my happiness after another delicious meal at Taqueria del Sol.



Outfit details: Jacket (Lauren's) and dress (mine) from H&M, BCBG shoes purchased at Ross.

Hope you all are having a great week!

Fall in Little 5

Just a quick outfit pic for the weekend. Lauren took this picture of me in Little Five Points. We were out shopping for last minute Halloween costume accessories - along with hundreds of other people. For you non-Atlantans, Little Five Points is Halloween Central filled with vintage, secondhand and alternative stores. I think the weekend before Halloween is the neighborhood's busiest shopping weekend. Did anyone else venture to L5P this weekend?

I took an awesome outfit pic of Lar, but right when I clicked the camera button the batteries died - curses! So I hope you can make do with only one half of the AsianCajuns for this post.


Jacket, cardi and scarf: H&M, cream shirt (you can't really see it): Pecan Pie Coutour, Jeans: Tarjay, Boots: Naturalizer.

Hope you're all having a lovely autumn-ish weekend!

Jacket Weather

I love early fall. There are many reasons why this is my favorite time of year - the crisp air, the colorful leaves and the nostalgia for buying new school supplies etc. But one of the more superficial reasons I love the fall is being able to wear all my jackets. Jackets to me are what shoes are to many women - a bit of an obsession.

I think my love of jackets started out of laziness. It's so easy and quick to try them on at stores - no need to find the shop assistant to unlock a dressing room, peel off layers, kick off your shoes. . . Needless to say, I'm not proud of this addiction. That being said, the only time I feel that my excess jacket spending is justified is during the fall. So here's to cooler weather!



Note: Lauren is not as jacket obsessed as me, but we both are all for the wide-leg denim trend.

On Lauren: shirt is Proenza Schouler for Target, jeans from Bill Hallman in Atlanta, sunglasses from Rockit. On me: shirt from American Apparel, jacket from Topshop (4 years ago), H&M jeans and F21 shoes.


Outfit detail below: I plan to wear my milagro donkey charm until November 5.

Milagro from Mingei World Arts.

Who else is utterly and completely in love with this jacket? Is it wrong to buy Rolling Stone just for the fashion on the cover? Get the latest edition and drool with me, fellow fashionistas!
