atlantaaaa
Was so great. The weather was PERFECT. Traffic...it's Atlanta...honestly what did I expect? It took us an hour and a half to get from little 5 points to Lenox(about 20ish miles). ridiculous.
Anways, so we got there and parked and such and the first store we went into was Rag-O-Rama. It's a thrift store, somewhat cheap(about $14.50/item) and I found a cute blue floral dress and a more modern black and white dress. I also found some really cute red boots but it's about to be summer and I know my feet would prefer sandals over boots in the ga heat any day so those didn't come home with me. I found some cute grandma looking glasses too that I had to get; I usually am not into the whole glasses-that-one-wears-so-one-will-look-trendy-but-secretly-the-glasses-don't-have-prescriptions, except now it's not so much of a secret because everyone has them. Anyways, I really do enjoy them and yeah yeah I may be jumping on that band wagon, but you can't avoid them all.
So after Rag-O-Rama we went in a few other stores then met up with our friend who lives in Atlanta and went to Ru San's. If you love cheap sushi and ever happen to be in Atlanta, go to Ru San's. Your tummy will thank you 500 times over, and your wallet. I got the spicy salmon maki for $1 and it comes with 3 sushi and I got the chicken fried rice. Their fried rice isn't dripping with oil like most places either, it's very fresh and delicious. mmm. Then we went to Lenox for my friend's agency audition. That went well. To kill some time we took a long stroll through some stores I couldn't even spend money in even if I won the lottery like Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. I suppose they're not really that bad, but I still wouldn't spend $85 on a plain white shirt. The Ralph Lauren store was so beautiful, it was set up like a rich polo man players house. Even I didn't particularly get anything out of their spring line, I really did enjoy the store. Urban Outfitters is getting up on that list too. I love their clothes and everything, it's just WAY too expensive. I'm not looking to spend $58 on a tank top, ever, no matter how cute it is. Sephora is always wonderful though, but always forces me to spend way more than I should. I'm super super pale(at one point in time I used white powder for makeup) so it's really hard to find anything that doesn't make me look orange. Instead of looking for some fancy shmancy foundation I just got some face primer/tone corrector(that is white haha) for $30 and it works beautifully.
After Lenox, we went back to Little 5(another hour and a half drive) and did some more shopping ate at the Vortex and headed down to Newnan for our friend's show. We were afraid we were going to miss it but we actually got there just in time! It was really good, they're awesome. If you like screamy, rock, christian music check out Night After Dark. I haven't listened or been to this kind of show in a while and it is so strange to me how pushing each other in a circle is entertaining or "fun" in any way, but anywhooo. We headed back to Columbus after the show and got back around 1:30 that night. It was a good, good day. Made me realize how bad I want to live in Atlanta in my own apartment. It will happen soon enough.
Tonight will be a long night, if all goes according to plan. Like I said, I'm determined to make this a fun weekend, and so far it's delivered. oh yeah and IT'S OFFICIALLY SPRING! How can I not go outside today?!
