Weekend Photo Diary: Booty Fights and a Photo Shoot

Busy weekend! I headed to Fountain Square on Friday night to snap some pictures and check out the Indie Summer show. Cincy Brass got the party started, and Big Freedia? Big Freedia turned it into a Par-TAY with a capital P, with multiple simultaneous booty fights happening on stage. Seriously, if you don't know about New Orleans bounce, you have to check her out. Azz everywhere, indeed.The City Flea On Saturday, I stopped by

Put It On and Don’t Say a Word

Wore this dress to run around pulling items for a photo shoot for A-Line this weekend. I've worn it  before (here), and I like it because it's comfy and doesn't need much more than a belt to make it look like I actually put effort into getting dressed.  On the downside, it's polyester--and y'all know what happens when summer heat meets polyester.Oh, and I also treated myself to this ridiculously yummy buttermilk white chocolate cupcake

Seven Four Eleven

AG shirt; vintage shorts and belt, Daniblack shoes I picked up these shorts for 99 cents at the St. Vincent de Paul on Este Avenue (which is now clearly my new favorite store) and took them up a few inches during a DIY sewing kick. I'm not usually into dressing matchy-matchy, but I couldn't resist wearing my striped espadrilles with a striped top--you know, as a nod to the whole holiday thing.
