Now THIS is a Basket!

Now THIS is a Basket!

A friend and I were strolling through 14th Street Antiques Market ooo-ing and ahh-ing over all the gorgeous pieces in there when we came across a vintage purse shop right in the middle of the place! Glam girl that she is, my friend scored a timeless black croc clutch (yes, […]

Le Petit Marche’

Le Petit Marche’

One of my friends* from public health school suggested Le Petit Marche’ in downtown Kirkwood as the perfect spot for a casual brunch group meet-up, and boy, was she right! We all enjoyed our meals, of course, and the relaxed, comfortable French country environment was just perfect. I’m not-so-secretly hoping […]

NaturAlmond Handcrafted Almond Butter

NaturAlmond Handcrafted Almond Butter

NaturAlmond Hand Crafted Almond Butter (widely available here and here) Let me begin by saying that while I’m on my second jar of this almond butter, I should be on my fourth… or fifth. It’s been out of stock at my usual grocery store for far too long! I jumped up […]

Breads, Cakes, and Cookies!

DISCLAIMER: Although bits and pieces of fruits/veggies may have wandered into be present in some of these images, this is NOT a health food post. Not in the slightest 🙂 True to his word, hub bought a waffle maker and got to work making some Wafles & Dinges-like waffles. The recipe literally took […]

The Optimist Restaurant

The Optimist Restaurant

It’s definitely an accolade that The Optimist Restaurant was named 2012 Best New Restaurant of the Year by Esquire Magazine, but – to me, at least – it’s even more of a distinction that the restaurant is run by the same camp as JCT Kitchen & Bar. If that group […]

AtlantaFresh Greek Yogurt

AtlantaFresh Greek Yogurt

This Greek yogurt from AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery is the truth! It’s definitely not the typical eat-it-only-because-it’s-good-for-me bland yog, and I definitely do NOT just toss it into smoothies. It’s more like a treat and even – dare I say? – a healthy alternative to ooey gooey calorie-laden desserts. Y’all know […]

Prime Restaurant

Prime Restaurant

Alon’s Bakery and Market

I’ve mentioned before that Alon’s Bakery and Market in Dunwoody – directly across the street from Perimeter Mall – is one of my favorite, favorite spots. In case you haven’t had the chance to check it out for yourself, here is a bit of a virtual tour. Enjoy 🙂 Disclaimer: […]

Labels Resale Boutique (Part I)

Ok, fellow shopaholics lovers of fashion and value: This is absolutely serious, so serious, in fact, that this Spotlight will have to be a two-parter because I can’t compact all the goodies into a single post 🙂 I’ll wait while you put your shoes on because you’re likely to run […]
