Favorite meal in August:
We visited No. 246 with our friends Allyson and Tig and had not only my favorite meal in August, but one of my favorites in Atlanta. We sat on their back porch for hours, killed two bottles of Italian reds, and shared everything we ordered. Toasts, salads, agnolotti, pizza…each bite we consumed was so delicious. I topped it all off with their Bottle Aged Boulevardier and declared it one of the best nights of our summer!

Now would ya look at that:
I tend to borrow from the boys section, and lust more over menswear than my side of the store. Shirts, bow ties, and now it appears, belts.

When La Matera introduced themselves to us, I quickly fell in love with their brand: incorporating Argentine style with American manufacturing to master the perfect belt. The men behind La Matera were inspired by the country’s “rustic lifestyle, rugged charm, and elegance of their traditional woven fabrics.” Spend some time looking over their products, or a lot of time, like I did, getting lost on their tumblr (packed full of all kinds of beauty).

So am I wearing a mens belt? Yes, yes I am. But sometimes boys can’t have all the fun…or all the awesome belts.
