The Southern THEORYist
/ E. Vincent MartinezAlmost every retailer at Buckhead Atlanta has had some form of Grand Opening celebration in the past year but last night Theory shut it down! The atmosphere at Theory was casual, chic and festive. Guests were sipping, shopping and smiling. And while the brand embraces a minimalist aesthetic, their values in respect to design and customer service is abundantly strong.
Theory took their Grand Opening festivities to new heights by doing something that no other retailer has even come close to doing - understanding, respecting, acknowledging and celebrating the power of the blogger. Thank you Theory - YOU get it!
Last night, after their Grand Opening, Theory hosted an amazing, family-style dinner at The Southern Gentleman for Atlanta's top fashion bloggers. The menu consisted of Little Gem Salad, Pimento Cheese Puffs, Flounder, Roasted Whole Chicken and Lemon Cornmeal Cake. Very delicious! The only thing more spectacular than the impressive spread was the company. Theory Buckhead GM, Kelly Miller delivered a warm welcome to the group, thanking everyone for all they do.
The evening was absolutely perfect. Thank you Theory & The Southern Gentleman.
If you haven't been to Theory Buckhead, pay them a visit. They have the best Spring/Summer whites in Atlanta. From linens to light weight fabrics, the selection for women and men is fabulous.
