A New Comfort Zone

July 8, 2013 by robincharmagne Leave a Comment

Hello pretty ones,
Well, here we are at the start of another work week. I’m not complaining though – the weekend was awesome! New experiences and learning to get out of my comfort zone!

On Friday, rain-checked lunch with one friend, but I got hungry and ended up lunching with another friend with a very picky palate. But she does eat Chinese, so I stepped out of my comfort zone(sweet and sour chicken) always and had the special, Kung Pao chicken, at Doc Chey's, delish!  I spotted these wine bottles in Publix and thought, yes we should "Be" all 3

On Friday, rain-checked lunch with one friend, but I got hungry and ended up lunching with another friend, who has a very picky palate. She picked Chinese at Doc Chey’s Noodle House. I hadn’t heard of it and I made up my mind, I’m getting my usual sweet and sour chicken so I won’t be hungry and eating something I don’t like. But once there, it was all good. Cute little hole in the wall joint that is a neighborhood gem. I passed on the sweet and sour chicken and had the special, Kung Pao chicken, delish!
Oh, I spotted these wine bottles in Publix and thought; yes, we should “Be” all 3 of these as often as possible!

Maxwell performed at Chastain Park Amphitheater here in the A on Saturday night. It rained on and off all day, but at show time, the skies were all clear. I was hyped to use my picnic backpack, in pink and green of course. We got some yummy goodies including wine in a box, which wasn't bad at all. All I can say is Maxwell is some kinda sexy, loved the show.

A couple of months back, a new friend extended an invite to see Maxwell perform at Chastain Park Amphitheater here in The A. At first, I was like Maxwell? I’m an R&B and Hip-hop kinda girl and I was thinking I’d be sleep after the first song! But I accepted the invite and started menu and wardrobe planning! On Saturday, it rained on and off all day, but at show time, the skies were all clear. I love Chastain Park and I was hyped about using my pink and green picnic backpack, which we filled up with some yummy goodies including wine in a box, which wasn’t bad at all. Taking pics, at night and outdoors was tricky, but I captured a few from the jumbo screens. All I can say is Maxwell is all kinds of sexy and did not disappoint. The show was jumping from start to finish, loved it. He definitely has a new fan!

I was totally worn out from Saturday and yep this was me all day Sunday!

Yep this was me all day Sunday! On the computer blog planning for the next 6 months, researching, writing, and photos, I heart blogging!

This was a weekend of developing a new comfort zone, new food, new music and new friends, gotta love it!

Are you getting out of your comfort zone? Have a Magnificent Monday pretties!

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

June 25, 2013 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

Hi pretties,
Here’s to a great Tuesday. Today I’m fessin’ up! I’m obsessed with HGTV. AND, I know I’m not the only one! I have been seriously hooked on HGTV since the old days. Do y’all remember Room by Room with Matt and Sheri, Decorating Cents with Joan Steffend or At the Auction with Leslie Hindman(I thought she was so classy). Yep, I have been watching for a while. But, my all-time favorite host is Candice Olson. She rocks with her classically elegant designs. I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to her designs. My bedroom is in need of a refresh and I’m inspired by Candice’s neutral color palettes and clean style. Here are some of my faves!

I definitely would like to have a different kind of nightstand, like the shelving she uses but the walls in my boudoir are weirdly shaped. Do any of these rooms strike your fancy?

Festivals and Fashion

June 3, 2013 by robincharmagne 10 Comments

Hello pretties,
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! It’s June pretty ones! Half the year is almost gone, yet the beginning of summer break, vacations, cook outs, and festivals! Festivals are one of my favorite warm weather fun times and one of the best in The A is the Virginia-Highland Summerfest. Virginia-Highland is one of Atlanta’s most historic neighborhoods dating back to 1905.

The Summerfest had a juried Artist Market, 5k Race, live music, and of course good food and libations! OK, so what do you wear to a festival you ask, when it’s hot and humid outside? Here’s a pretty pick!
Festival wear

Dress//Necklace//Earrings//Bracelet//Watch//Bag//Wedge

A maxi dress with colorful accessories, easy cross-body and comfy wedge sandals is a good choice.

Do you have a favorite summer festival?
