The title of this is kind of misleading since I was extra lazy this weekend and didn’t do any Appalachian Trail hiking–especially not in heels. Drew on the other hand rode his bike all day today (in the rain!) for the Six Gap Century, so yesterday we went to Dahlonega, Georgia to get him signed in. When I go to places like Dahlonega I wonder why we don’t go up to the mountains more often. It’s only an hour away from Atlanta, but when we’re there it feels like we’re on vacation in some place it takes all day to drive to.
Drew drove us up the mountains to show me where he rides his bike, and just when I was getting dizzy and half-sick from all the twists and turns of the road we got to the old stone shelter on top of Blood Mountain, which happens to be much prettier than its name. There is a little store and hostel in an old stone building that was built (well, rebuilt–it was originally a log cabin) in the ’30s by F.D.R.’s Civilian Conservation Corps. The Appalachian Trail goes right through a stone breezeway and up in back to a rocky lookout, with little white flowers everywhere. It was beautiful, though slightly treacherous if you’re silly enough to wear heels.
I wore a dress I’d been waiting ’till fall to wear. I’ve been in love with the label Wren ever since I read that designer Melissa Coker named it after a Charles Dickens character, so when they sent me a few things in the mail I felt like the luckiest person in the world. I still do. This dress was definitely my favorite–it’s such a fall dream dress that I wouldn’t let myself wear it ’till it was officially fall. Did it feel like fall yesterday? No . . . though it was in the 80s instead of our usual 90s. But today it was in the low 60s and I wore tights and a jacket out of necessity and I was so happy, even though rain had to come along with it. I spent most of the day very lazy, reading Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty and wishing I weren’t too nervous to drive around Atlanta in the rain.
Oh magical floating Drew, you’re the tops. (You and your dress are as adorable as can be, Rhiannon!! You know I can’t resist a good plaid fall dress!) xx
I wish I had a levitating boyfriend!
Drew is magical! I wish I could float like that.
Agreed
I’m glad you finally got your fall day you had been eagerly awaiting for. Your new Wren dress is adorable, I love plaid, especially for the fall. The setting is gorgeous too!
Stunning, as always! I love your dress, makes me wish we weren’t heading into spring here in Australia!
Wow, purple really suits youi! You look lovely! Ah, I remember Dahlonega
woah, what’s with that picture of Drew? I love that dress, and the pictures are just darling. It’s so totally fall here and I’m LOVING it. I thought I would be so bummed, since we didn’t really have much of a summer, but it’s rainy and the leaves are turning and I can’t wait to go pumpkin picking and make apple cider and all sorts of other fall things.
Just gorgeous! (And I do those day trips to see where my boy rides his mountain bike too, and it’s so pretty it almost makes me want to start mountain bike riding. Almost
) Love the flying Drew pic, too! 
That is such a perfect fall dress, definitely agree with you there and you styled it perfectly with just a peek of leg and those gorgeous heels. These photos are once again stunning and I hope Drew did well in his biking today!
I can’t get over how beautiful your blog is!
ohh gosh!! beautiful!! n such a great pics
xoxo
that pic of drew is amazing!!!looks so cool! love your dress
What a beautiful place, where does one get a floating boyfriend? :p
You look adorable as always xoxo
I love riding bikes in the rain. I did it only once but it was so nice!!
You look beautiful as always.
I love Wren. How lucky that they sent you some pieces! You’re right about it being the perfect fall dress too. i love all the great historic places you have all around you. Little Rock’s got the history, we’re just no where near that size so there’s far, far less to see! I do love a rainy Sunday drive though, always makes me want to play Radioheads, In Rainbows, and daze out the window.
you look gorgeous! i am kinda in love with that dress, such a good fall dress!
Great pics! That plaid dress is so lovely and perfect for Fall. I only wish I could wear it with shoes like you yours but I can’t walk in heels
Lovely as always! Wish it was that warm here, but England is covered in a coat of fog right now and rain is on it’s way!
