What is on your summer bucket list this year?!  As a family we have made several...like camping in our backyard, crab hunting at the beach, flying kites, bike riding, and having lots of water balloon fights.  Peter and I also have our own list, which includes at least one picnic date night at Arrington Vineyards!

I've talked about our love for Arrington Vineyards before and of course I have to talk about it again because now is the perfect time to spend a long evening out at the vineyards.  I'll never forget our first date night at Arrington and our first family day date to the vineyards as well...both such wonderful memories!

Arrington is not only perfect for date nights and family outings but it is also perfect for a girls night, a couples hang, etc...whomever you may surround yourself with, time spent at Arrington Vineyards is time well spent.

After sharing my first charcuterie board that I made at home for Easter (you can see that post HERE), I've had an affection for meat and cheese boards.  When packing for a picnic, meats, cheeses, fruits, and nuts are ideal.  They are easy to pack, fulfilling, and delicious when paired with wine (and I've got to say, Arrington has some of THE BEST wine)!  I personally love their blackberry wine, which is a sweeter wine!  Don't forget some macaroons...such a sweet way to wrap up your picnic!

Nashville has so much to offer and sometimes it is nice to get off the beaten path and spend time away from all of the hustle and bustle.  I don't know about you all but I'm intentionally trying to slow our family down this summer and really soak up our time together!

Have you been to Arrington Vineyards before?!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!  See you back here real soon!

Sweet Tennessee Dress + Arrington Vineyards

SWEET TENNESSEE DRESS || BOOTIES || FLOPPY HAT

When a dress is named "Sweet Tennessee" and you live in Nashville, TN, it's a sure sign that it's just meant to be.  The embroidered detail on this dress is absolutely gorgeous and the relaxed fit and boho vibe is right up my alley.  Need I even say that it has pockets?!  Just another reason why this dress is perfect.

I've paired it with a comfy pair of black booties (would also look great with over-the-knee boots) and a floppy hat.  No other accessories are really necessary with this look...let the dress do all of the talking!

I wore this look for a day trip out at Arrington Vineyards, which by the way...if you have visited Nashville but have never visited Arrington, you must make a stop there next time around.  There is so much more to discover right outside of Nashville and many people don't even know that we have vineyards just about 25 mins south of Nashville.  Arrington is such a gem and it truly feels like an escape when spending time there.  PLUS, their wine is amazing (award winning amazing!)!!  Simply put...I could spend every day amongst the vines...it's so beautiful and serene.

Tell me about a "gem" that most people may not know about when visiting your city!  

As always, thanks for stopping by...Happy Friday!  Hope you all have a great weekend!
