FEATURED: SIMON & RUBY - CREATIVE CRUSH

One of my favorite Nashville based jewelry brands, Simon & Ruby so sweetly decided to feature me this month on their blog in an upcoming monthly feature, CREATIVE CRUSH.  We had so much fun during the photo shoot - there were so many pretty things to play with and Lindsay's home and studio were absolutely immaculate! 

Along with a fun photo shoot featuring pieces from Simon and Ruby's Mexico Collection (My favorite piece being the Maggie Necklace), S&R asked me to shed some light on what makes me tick with a little Q&A. 

Visit Simon & Ruby's blog for this month's spotlight feature HERE and while you're at it, do some spring accessory shopping via their WEBSITE. You'll fall in love. Another tidbit for those of you in the Nashville area - S&R's designs are available over at Wax Nashville!

NASHVILLE'S MOST PINTERESTING PEOPLE

If you're looking for a little local inspiration, then look no further! I've combed the inter-webz for the most "Pinteresting" Nashville blogs, brands and people for your viewing pleasure. 

Soak it up.

Pennyweight is one of my favorite Nashville bloggers and was recently the host of an adorable event put on by West Elm & Etsy. Check out photos from the event HERE. Pinterest: HERE 

Hannah Jones of JAMIE AND THE JONES is amazingly talented. In addition to being talented, she has GREAT taste. I really love how she color coordinates her Pinterest boards. Too cute. Find her Pinterest HERE.  

imogene + willie 
While we're off dealing with dumb every day  life things, the brainiacs  at imogene + willie are creating denim masterpieces that will one day save humanity. You think I'm kidding? Visit them on PINTEREST to see what they find inspiring. 

Old Made Good 

If you're an East Nashville local and you haven't already visited OMG at least twelve times, then - well, we just can't be friends.  Whether you need an outfit for a date night, a refinished antique cabinet, or a vintage Ouija board - Old Made Good has your ass covered. I used ass in this instance just because I know the lovely ladies who work there have a penchant for potty mouthed art and jewelry along with an appreciation of foul humor. 

I will shamelessly admit that I am the same.

Lindsay Timberlake of TODAY I'M WEARING is a long standing friend and a beautiful and stylish inspiration. If you haven't already noticed. Find her Pinterest HERE and check out her BLOG for more!

A Brunette
Alright my voluptuous, plus size fashion goddesses - this PINTEREST is for you. Codie is amazing, and having a best friend who also obsesses daily over fashion blogs, the latest DIYs and runway trends is a dream come true. A Brunette focuses on plus size ladies and shares tips and tricks on achieving runway looks with real life prices. 

Lindsay Farrer is the beauty & brains behind my favorite local jewelry brand, Simon and Ruby.  S&R combine delicate designs with an earthy edge so every piece is a statement.  You can find more from Simon and Ruby on their website, or follow Lindsay on PINTEREST to see what gets her creative juices flowing. 

UPCOMING NASHVILLE FASHION EVENTS

The next few weeks are going to be a veritable explosion of awesome in Nashville. Spring and Summer are not only my favorite seasons for the warm, pleasant weather - but for the vast selection of things to do and things to see.


We really are the best little/big city when it comes to community, local art and of course our music scene is virtually overflowing with talent and innumerable concerts and events. 


With this in mind, here are several up and coming events I have on my agenda - and if you know whats good for you, they should be on yours too!


The Trunk Nashville
Saturday, April 7th // 11am - 5pm


The Trunk Nashville is a great take on the 
typical food truck, but instead of ordering up a quick burger, you can serve yourself to a heaping helping of fashion forward clothing and accessories. This perfect pop up shop can also be rented out if you're interested in showcasing your designs. Tomorrow they will be located in front of Mas Tacos Por Favor and The Pharmacy Burger Parlor & Beer Garden from 11am - 5pm. If you miss out on one of these opportunities, you can find their schedule HERE. Let the stalking begin.

If you're in the market for a good quality pair of jeans, the denim gods have been kind. Enter: Imogene + Willy. You can find their goods in store, or online. They are about to launch their spring collection, so now is the time to pounce. Visit their website for location + more info.
