Two Nights in Atlanta!

Two Nights in Atlanta

I LOVED Atlanta. Loved it. Didn’t want to leave!

My only regret is that I had so much work to do while I was there so didn’t get to do as many fun things as I would have liked to. But for a work trip, it couldn’t have been better.

This was our TENTH live show ever (number 11 is in New York tonight if you are local!) and it went really, really well (we did it at City Winery, which is always one of our favorite places to do a show – they have great food and wine and it’s just a fun girls night out spot!) The next day we did get to have a little fun… we had a fancy afternoon tea at our hotel in the afternoon (highly recommend it if you are visiting or local to Atlanta – I’m still thinking about the truffled deviled egg we had!) and had we had dinner at Storico Fresco with Jess + Cathy (and went to see the Girls Gotta Eat live show afterward!)

We partnered with the Waldorf Astoria Buckhead for this part of the tour.

They gifted us a two night stay (+ afternoon tea – we paid for the rest of our expenses) in exchange for coverage on my blog + instagram. I always want to be upfront about that! But this hotel was next level. I would 100% stay here again. The bathtub… the big cozy bed… it was an absolute dream and is definitely one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I wanted to stay forever.

The service was next level… everyone was so attentive and thoughtful. They had so many cute little gestures (mapping out our workouts, leaving our favorite snacks in our room) which of course was an “influencer” perk, but I’ve stayed at a lot of fancy hotels and it’s actually pretty rare to get this level of treatment. It says a lot about their staff and wanting to go above and beyond.

I absolutely loved this book! It comes out next week and is such a fun (and steamy!) little romance.

The setup at City Winery!

One of my current masking favorites. It gets rid of all your dead skin cells, degunks your pores, and leaves skin bright + radiant. Borghese is a podcast sponsor so if you shop their site you can get 25% off using code BOP25.

My dress is Kate Spade

I rented it on Rent the Runway. It seems to be sold out but you can rent it! I really like this one – I paired it with these sneakers (in white, see below!) to keep things casual.

We had the BEST tea at our hotel! I mentioned this below but everything was so good. The truffled deviled egg was to die for and I loved the southern twist (for example: they did a Waldorf chicken salad on a biscuit… YUM!

Dinner at Storico Fresco was AMAZING. So delicious. Jess + Cathy did not lead us astray. I really like both of them; I wish we lived closer and could hang out more often!!!

For the live show I chose this stunning green Gal Meets Glam dress (it was gifted). I paired it with these green velvet sandals that I’ve had for a few years now. I liked the way the different shades of green complement each other!
