Sometimes I wish I lived in Neverland and got to play with mermaids, fairies and pirates instead of going to work. I guess I’ll have to settle for living in Atlanta and dealing with other kinds of characters. I may have to grown up, but I don’t have to stop wearing Peter Pan collars.

While it might be Summer outside, inside the mall it’s starting to look like Fall. Now is a great time to start adding layering pieces to my closet so I’ll be ready when Fall actaully arrives. I’ve been lusting over this adorable J. Crew heart sweater for weeks, but today stumbled across a similar version at Old Navy. I can see this being added over sundresses when the sun goes down or with cropped pants and boots when the temps start dropping.

Tomorrow is July 4th! Bobby and I will be up early running the Peachtree Road Race, a 10k race through Atlanta that brings over 60,000 participants. After the race, I plan on relaxing somewhere cool and watching the fireworks. Here are some ideas of what to wear…

Thanks to a friend’s recommendation, I have a new favorite shopping spot in Atlanta. Labels Resale Boutique is a designer consignment boutique located in Buckhead. Voted Best Consignment in Atlanta last year by Jezebel Magazine, Labels has women’s and men’s fashions from a variety of the best designers. I’ve bought and sold at several consignment stores in Atlanta, and this is by far my favorite for both. The clothes are basically new, the prices can’t be beat and the service is stellar.
