Nashville Bachelorette Outfits & Recap!

Well after being postponed for six months, my girls and I finally made it to Nashville to celebrate my bachelorette weekend! Though we did change it to “#thebitchgothitched” since I have actually been married a while now. We had the BEST time and I am now getting around to sharing what we did and what I wore!

Thursday:

We got into town and my friends had set up dinner and a brewery tour at Tailgate Brewery. It was so fun!! They showed us around the property, we tasted all of their most popular beers and shoved our faces with pizza. (OMG, the pizza…. was SO good). We sat on the patio, watched the sunset and hung out. Was the perfect weekend kick off!

Afterwards, we went out on Broadway and went to a few bars. We wanted to be outside in open air, as much as possible, so we ultimately ended up at Luke Bryan’s bar on the rooftop. We found ourselves a table, the music was great, and we danced around for hours like a bunch of idiots. It was the best time!

Night 1 Outfit: Hat / Plaid Top / Jeans / Booties

Friday:

We had plans to do a tractor tour, but it was detoured to Saturday so we found ourselves spending most of the afternoon at FGL House off Broadway. They had live music, an open air rooftop space (perfect for keeping us out of the rain, but we had some fresh air), and we had our own table. It was the perfect afternoon and we had the best time dancing around.

Later that night we went to City Tap’s rooftop, had some champagne and then some dinner. It was the perfect end to a very fun day.

Friday Outfits: Rhinestone Top / Shorts / White Cowboy Boots / Floral Top

Saturday:

After a reallyyyy yummy brunch, we went on our long awaited tractor tour (which was the BEST time and highly recommend doing it if you’re in Nashville)! We had the tour to ourselves and the bartenders were so fun and made the whole experience something we won’t forget (lets just say I shotgunned my first beer…and it was not pretty). After that, we went back to FGL House, danced around and had more drinks. Then we made our way over to the Food Hall for a bite to eat, made our way up to a rooftop VIP area for some live music & dancing. Then we ended the night at the 12/30 club!

Bridal Shower Dresses for Brides To Be!

Y’all. Nobody tells you how hard it’s going to be to find outfits for all things bride-to-be!

Maybe it’s just me, but once I got engaged, I was so excited to start shopping for all the cute white dresses I was going to be able to wear. I mean, when else in your life are you able to wear all white? Not very many appropriate occasions. I was fully prepared to take full advantage and stock up on so many options.

I shopped everywhere and was constantly scouring the internet for new styles, almost obsessively. The process was not as fun as I had hoped; I bought so many, and returned so many. A lot of the dresses looked great online, but ultimately they fit my body weird, didn’t cover the booty enough, the lace looked different in person, etc. Price point was also important to me; I want to spend a little, but not a lot for something I was going to wear once, realistically.

It was a little frustrating, I won’t lie, but truthfully, you don’t have THAT many events as a bride, so you only need a few options that you really love (says the woman with about 15 white dresses in her closest now that she’ll never wear).

My point being, be prepared to buy, try on, and return. Patience is key!

Holiday 2020 Gift Guides

Holiday 2020 Gift Guides are here!!

I hope these give you LOTS of ideas for shopping this year! I know we’re all experiencing new “norms” and might not be spending the holidays with our families in the traditional sense, or in the ways we had hoped, but we can still spread the love to our crew. I hope these guides give you a wide range of ideas and prices!

We’ve got guides for HIM, for HER, for HOME and BEAUTY & SKINCARE. And by the way, Bryan said that he would LOVE everything on the guys’ guide, so that has to mean I did something right. Unless he’s just saying that… ha.

Happy Holidays, and happy shopping! Sending my love to you and your loved ones. Please stay safe, and healthy.

Weekly Menu- Dinner Ideas

A few weeks ago I posted on my Insta stories and asked who would be interested in seeing some weekly menu ideas each week, and there was a TON of people interested! I was kind of surprised, since it’s not what I normally share, but I think we’re all at the point in quarantine where making dinner is really starting to feel like a chore.

I try to make dinner at least 4 nights a week. Since I’m working from home now, I feel like I have no excuse to not make dinner. Sure, there are definitely nights when I’m working late and we end up ordering in, or eating random leftovers, but I really do make an effort. And on top of making an effort, I have been trying to change it up and make new things we haven’t had, revise old recipes and make them feel new, that kind of thing.

Who’s with me? If this sounds like you, then read on. I’ve got some recipe ideas for you that I hope you’ll love!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale- My Top Picks

Hi!! I’m sure you’ve heard by now, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is starting soon! I haven’t shared too much from this sale in previous years, but I took a poll over on Instagram the other day and there was a LARGE amount of people for voted that I should share my picks. So here we are!

First, I want to break down how this sale works, for those who might not be familiar.

The 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will be from August 19–30. Early Access begins August 13th, and prices go up August 31st. Online shopping begins at 9:30am ET/6:30am PT.

Icon level Nordy Club members can shop now! Sale opens to Ambassadors on Friday, August 7th and Influencers on August 10th.

I don’t have a Nordstrom card, so I don’t shop this sale early, like a lot of people do, but I think there are still great sales that you can take advantage of if you’re shopping for some Fall and Winter staple items. This sale doesn’t require a coupon code, which is nice. The anniversary sale products will be categorized on the website, displaying both the discounted price as well as how much it will cost full-price after the sale.

Things sell out FAST, but I’ve read that they re-stock as it goes on. Not sure if that’s true or not so I would say, if you’re wanting to shop, get what you want before it’s gone.

Important dates to remember:

July 24 – Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Preview Begins
August 4 – Icon Early Access
August 7 – Ambassador Early Access
August 10 – Influencer Early Access
August 13 – Insider Early Access
August 19 – Sale Opens to Public
August 31 – The Anniversary Sale is over

Another thing I wanted to mention is that I’m only sharing here what I think is actually useful in 2020. In previous years, or when the world isn’t in quarantine and dealing with COVID, I would suggest buying items from sales like this that are investment pieces. Investments can be things like new fall knee high boots, a new wool winter coat, an amazing blazer that you’ll have for years. But 2020 has been the weirdest yet, and we unfortunately aren’t going to be living normal lives come Fall, so I’m not going to sit here and try to convince you to buy crap you don’t need.

All of that being said, my Nordstrom picks are all things that are cozy, lounge items, make up, skincare necessities, housewares that are all quarantine-appropriate!

Happy shopping!
