This weekend I attended my first Chic Boutique Tour! I found out about the tour from my friend Niki McNeil’s blog Single Bubble Pop. The itinerary for the day took us to some local boutiques around Atlanta including Plush Boutique, Coposhi, Meroni, Fabrik and one non boutique (but a fabulous store in itself) Off Broadway Shoes. While riding around town in style we enjoyed chicken salad, veggie wraps, margaritas and wine! And we added tweets and Facebook updates while on the road. Here are some photos from the trip:

Vintage 2008 Rietvallei Estate Wine Red Muscadel that we sampled at Wine Shoe. Entirely too sweet for my taste, but a perfect Christmas gift for my Mom, who loves sweet red wine.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience of riding around Atlanta shopping, snacking and toasting with other shoppers. Stylist Kaira Akita offered great tips and recommendations on buying pieces. She encouraged us to not make impulse purchases, something I’m sure we all do sometimes. The only bad part of the day was the murky weather! But thank goodness it wasn’t raining. I can’t wait to take part in the tour in the spring!
