We made sure to get out of town this last weekend. Atlanta had been rainy and gray and gloomy all week, and I was counting down the days until we could drive up to the Blue Ridge mountains and get away for a couple of days. We stayed in a little white farmhouse in a cornfield, completely secluded and a little creepy, and it couldn’t have been better. A few days of doing nothing—no socializing, no driving, just relaxing and reading and being more lazy than I have been since last year, when I was resting up from elbow surgery and watching a lot of Downton Abbey and generally just being a bum.
I’ll post some photos of our trip later. Here are some Drew took on our way back to Atlanta. I’d read of a little abandoned train station in Tate, Georgia, just outside of Jasper, and wanted to track it down for a Southerly post. I also wanted to get some photos of the dress I was wearing, something Josie of Frances Baker was kind enough to send to me all the way from Australia. It’s from her beautiful ffall collection, and I was sure I wouldn’t get the chance to wear it ’till at least October, but on that Sunday morning in the north Georgia mountains it was practically fall already. And, you know? I’m kind of looking forward to it now.

Such a beautiful dress! I love how you’ve styled it. Autumn is most definitely on my doorstep!
Thanks, Hannah! Josie’s so good.
I’m glad to see the short hemline and boots again. I must admit I AM ready for fall!! Thanks for the great post.
Ha ha, I’m still not. :) Right now it’s around 78 degrees, and I wouldn’t mind if it stayed like this all year.
Those boots are amazing. I usually dread Autumn – it just feels like a countdown to Christmas, which I’ve really gone off as I get older – but this year I can’t wait to get wrapped up in big scarfs and nice boots!
I still love Christmas, but that’s about the only thing about winter that I like. The older I get, the less I like being cold. :)
Your blog is one of my top five I look forward to reading. I love your style, and I love your posts. Thanks!
Monica, thank you, that means a lot, honest. :)
I live in Blue Ridge, Georgia..close to where you were at! My boyfriend was actually named after the mountains..the Cohuttas. He took me camping deep in the mountains last week. I’ll have the pictures up tomorrow. Come have a look! http://www.much-too-many.blogspot.com. Hope you had fun here with us hillbillies!! :)
Whoa, is his name Cohutta? That’s good. I liked the arial helicopter photos you posted . . . so beautiful.
What a great location!
