Sister City at AVA

This exploration of Icelandic moods still, quiet and spare by Covenant alumna Elizabeth Tubergen opened Friday. Her installation of photography, textiles, video and a wax chandelier are the souvenirs of a place both newly discovered and a homecoming.

Bike2Work

Outdoor Chattanooga hosted its monthly Bike2Work breakfast early this morning in Coolidge Park. Among those attending were a fellow ready for a Tweed Ride and his minimalist counterpart aboard a pared-down fixie. It was great fun meeting fans of this blog who also follow Vélo Vogue and Copenhagen Cycle Chic. Everyone agreed that a cycling fashion show would be just the way to celebrate reopening of the Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge on May 8. Please return for updates as the plan takes shape.

Falling Whistles

Black boots ruled on Frazier Avenue this spring-like afternoon.

The detail picture highlights both ruffles and Falling Whistles, a campaign to raise awareness for the plight of children in the Congo civil conflict. n2shoes is the first retailer in Tennessee to offer these audible, anti-war protest emblems.
