Lollapalooza Throwbacks

Lollapalooza begins tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited - literally. This is my favorite weekend of the summer and I look forward to it all year! {I must say, I'm so lucky to live in the host city, considering people come from all over the world to experience the madness that is Lolla.} With planning outfits, mapping out my three-day set schedule and figuring out plans over this past week, it's brought back great memories of Lollas past. So, in honor of the greatest music festival on Earth {in my humble opinion}, I'm sharing some pictures of some memorable Lolla experiences I've racked up over the past six years. Here's to hoping that this year will be the best one yet!

Road Trip - Atlanta

After Nashville, we hit the road and headed for Atlanta - another city I'd never been before. Although our time in Atlanta was limited {we got in at 11:00 p.m. and left the next afternoon}, I enjoyed getting to see the city and doing some exploring. We decided to take full advantage of the one night we had there, so we headed out to the bars in the Buckhead area. We'd been recommended by several people to see Buckhead, and I'm glad we were. From what I saw, there was ah-mazing shopping, fine dining and a fun nightlife. The next day before hitting the road yet again, we visited the World of Coca Cola. It was so interesting to learn about the history of the quintessentially American brand, as well as taste all of its different products sold throughout the world. Unfortunately, we only had time to walk through an outdoor art fair before we left so we could make it to our next destination without having to drive into the wee hours of the morning. This meant no time for shopping, which was a total bummer, but lucky for me the shopping in the next few places made up for it! All in all, my brief stay in Atlanta was a success, and only left me craving more. Until next time, A-town!



My friends attempt karaoke...painful.
Our last minute hotel, Twelve, turned out to be so amazing!

And before you leave you get a free Coke in a glass bottle:)
Got quite a few keepsakes/goodies here.
