oh, this? it's fleamadonna

When I lived in Seoul last year, I had a blast discovering Korean brands, especially since a lot of them have picked up on the somewhat western notion of sample sales. Thanks to Twitter (which, until April, was still relatively preferred over me2day), I had a heads up on all my favorite Korean fashion labels. Sometime in November, I was alerted to the fleamadonna sample sale, located in an office building in the confusing back streets of Apkujeong (압구정). I'm glad I took the trouble to find it, because I walked out of there with three incredible pieces.



This was my personal favorite, as it was being sold at a local boutique for over $120USD. I love the droopy sleeves and the cropped cut... and the pearl studding, of course. One less thing to remember to sling around your body in the morning.

And be sure to check out fleamadonna's SS12 collection! I've already bookmarked a few pieces for my friends in Seoul to send me...

JCT Kitchen

Saturday began with a scary drive through a torrential downpour in order to meet Jinah for lunch at JCT Kitchen. It's become one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. The food is consistent, and it's a perfect introduction to the modern southern fare that's finally gaining recognition. I've previously taken two visitors there for dinner, where we had the good fortune of scoring a fried chicken entree (incredibly delicious), but this was my first time going for lunch. I ordered a shrimp po' boy with truffle fries, while Jinah had the grown-up grilled cheese. The tomato soup was sweeter than I've tasted, but it was mind-blowingly delicious. I got conned into eating two of these brioche doughnuts, which were so light and fluffy that I couldn't believe that they were fried. This isn't a place for calorie counters, so put on your buffet dress and eat away.

How cute is Jinah in this APC sweater?

West Egg Cafe

Spent a bulk of the weekend stuffing my face over in the Westside Provisions area in West Midtown. We've come a long way since blogging about it in 2009. (Thank God.)

Sunday brunch was at an old staple, West Egg Cafe. This place has a special place in my heart, because it takes it name from The Great Gatsby. (Say what you will about it, that book addresses every problem in contemporary America.) I hate the 45 minute wait that always precedes any meal here, but the hearty brunch fare makes me think that the wait is a small price to pay. Went for the blue plate this time, instead of my usual green tomato wrap. God, I love their potatoes.

The message on the windows is ironic, isn't it? Hah.

vampires and coffee and Oxford

On my trip to Covington, we made a pit stop at Oxford, GA, under the mentality of "might as well since we're already here." What's to see there, you ask? Oxford College, and a Rite Aid. There's no denying its relation to Emory, but the complete absence of people on campus on Saturday made for a great place to take photos. We could've shot a college brochure.

Have you been sticking to your new year resolutions? I didn't make any, but I've been eating the leftover candy, cakes, and pies from the holidays so I'm going to make a resolution now to stop eating crap. I'm throwing back a bunch of blueberries now while reading this list of famous last meals requested by international criminals. Not a single piece of tofu listed, but John Wayne Gacy asked for a pound of strawberries.
