Nashville part 1:

My sweet friend Victoria and I headed to Nashville for a much needed girls getaway, and Nashville - you sure can show a girl a good time!



As awful as it sounds, I was going with the mindset that honky tonk music would be surrounding me (I'm not the biggest fan of country) and I'd be entering into a world of cow hide and saloon slugging and who knows what else!

I was so happy to be proven wrong! Nashville is a place of its own. An oasis from real life and the cherry on top to any getaway.

The second we rolled into town we visited 12th Ave South. Such a cute hip area to shop, lunch, & lounge!

We ate at Edley's BBQ and had the best food ever, I mean look at these - !!!!


Afterwards we headed to shop to our heart's content! We stopped at Serendipity Emporium for some "Man Candles" and books/gifts.

We hopped across the street to my all time favorite thrift shop called Savant- hands down coolest place you've ever seen.











Imagine rooms and rooms and rooms stocked full of every too good to be true vintage find you've ever dreamed of and you've got Savant.

Winter Doldrums

The snow has come and it's hard to believe that in just a few months the sun will come out, and the layers of clothing come off! I always get the winter blues but I try to keep a snowy weather list of "Go To's" handy. So far I've been able to avoid the huffing and puffing and pacing.

1: Bowling. Sounds cheesy, but seriously!?! So fun! If you haven't been since your youthful teenage angst years - then a trip down the lanes is a must.

Inspiration 101

I came across Julianbialowas photostream on flickr the other day and fell in love.

If there's any part of you left that still longs for adventure, risks, & a little bit of magic... I think you'll love these too.

We're in the middle of a snow storm, but someone still seems to be enjoying themselves...

Yesterday was his very first check up (since I brought him home) & I was so happy to get the A-Okay on having a healthy pup. I cannot wait until spring so we can get out and about, have picnics, maybe even join some puppy play groups!
