Even though we go to Atlanta’s Westside Provisions a lot we’ve never taken blog photos there. Well, once we tried, but the outfit was flowery and all wrong for it. Westside Provisions is half industrial, half old . . . It’s a huge dining/shopping complex built on the site of Atlanta’s old meatpacking district. When I first moved to Atlanta I remember seeing the old early 1900s White Provisions slaughterhouse and being scared that the condo people would get to it and tear it down (it was awfully pretty for a slaughterhouse), but it’s still here, only modernized. Some of my favorite places are in the area . . . . West Egg (my favorite breakfast spot!), Taqueria del Sol, Star Provisions (they have amazing desserts and fancy candy bars. It’s an awfully tempting place when you wander over from Taqueria del Sol after a margerita). Plus Anthropologie just opened a new store in an old industrial building across the street, and I went there yesterday with Jamie and it was so good it made all the clothes look better. (mostly we liked the furniture though).
Before we went to Anthropologie Jamie and I went to a tea party our friend Karla hosted. Like usual I forgot my camera, but maybe I can borrow some photos to show you all later. All weekend long I’ve been pretty much socializing or sleeping. On Friday night we went to a Todd Selby/Elliott Erwitt photography show at the Jackson Fine Art Gallery here in town. I made cupcakes, took two naps, and now we’re getting ready for a visit from Lauren and Neil.

Lovely outfit and I like the slightly gritty setting. I’m definitely envious that you get to wear shorts in January! It’s been snowing here again in Chicago and was 8 degrees yesterday.
I love that first photo so much! Also, totally jealous of your Founders & Followers score, I love that shop. Such a well-curated collection. The little buttons on that jacket are great too, the coat makes me think of a cool little tough boy in the 60′s, kicking cans or something.
Great photos, the outfit goes perfect with the scenery.
I love the last photo, there is a mysterious atmosphere, really inspiring !!
and the outfit is gorgeous !
STUNNING shots!
what a great little coat too!

I love when you post pictures of places I like! I hope you’ve been in Sid Mashburn.
I thought of your blog posts when I saw this website, I thought maybe you’d want to check it out if you haven’t already, it’s a collection of old movies, even silent films: http://www.bigfiveglories.com/
Your posts make me so nostalgic for Atlanta; they really give me a new appreciation for a place that I lived for over 10 years. I love these pictures–the whimsical little “ladder” up the tree . . . and the one of you in front of that beautifully ugly old door. Great shots and lovely writing.
AH! I work in the white provisions building!! Isn’t that area so wonderful? Especially the new anthropologie!
i love those desert boot-esque wedges! a very chic look.
Great sunglasses Rhiannon! I love the pattern on your blouse too :)

Those sunglasses are amazing! Your posts are always so delightful! By the way, what are your favorite cupcake flavors?
What a beautiful coat. I love it!
You HAVE to come to Sewanee! It is so gorgeous here and I have a feeling you would love it! It’s a great backdrop for great outfits! Also I am absolutely obsessed with your blog! Thank you for all the fashion inspiration!
oh..how lovely…i love the blouse..and the photos are beautiful..!!!!
There is an old slaughterhouser that they turned into an art gallery in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s really creepy and awesome. It’s crazy how similiar the elevator door of death in KY looks is to the one you’re standing in front of.
Gorgeous blouse. That jacket is a great thrift find.
yes, this outfit fits this setting very well. what a cool neighborhood! we have something pretty similar in columbus, but it’s very touristy because the hockey arena is there.
that blouse is so cute (: hopefully you’ll be able to show us some photos of the tea party, they’re always the best kind of party! xo
i love that fact that you took two naps and said it without shame or any qualms! most people, including myself, would feel too guilty. i love naps.
Your outfit looks wonderful as usual! And I’m super jealous that you get to wear shorts, albeit with tights. I don’t mind winter and the cold though, I kind of love the snow! Quick question: I was just wondering if you do anything to your bangs to prevent them from flying around in the wind. I just got bangs and they never seem to sit still!
The pics are gorgeous. I love the colors. The one with you in front of the yellow door is my favorite. The tree ladder is really cool too, it almost looks like a miniature. Thanks for posting.
Ooh I love the photos! I definitely need to explore the westside more. I’ve been to Antico and to the Octane Coffee (heartheartheart!) over there, and to Northside Tavern and I’ve SEEN that building but never been in yet. I love that area of the city, though – the downtown/midtown skyline looks the best from that side of the highway.
In the first photo you look like Marianne Faithful! You look so cool! Love the pea coat and the patterned shirt! And I love your down to earth writing.

p.s. naps are the best. Naps and cupcakes = supreme goodness!

Love the outfit. I have the same bag in white and tan. Isn’t it the best!

I’ve got a similar Dooney and Burke Bag. I think their vintage stuff is better than the new things. I enjoyed your pictures once again. Thanks!

the photos are lovely, as is your outfit. you’ve inspired me to pull out a pair of shorts and to pair them with tights!
Love the outfit! but specially I absolutely adore that blouse!!! Great find….from the new e-commerce founders & followers I just think their selection is one of the most curated you can find these days….
