Casual Chic with Fab'rik Nashville

Tee's have a completely new meaning to me.  There is nothing basic about this PPLA Clothing striped side slit tee from Fab'rik Nashville.

This tee is by far one of the most comfortable most chic tee's that I own.   The side slit detail and high low hemline makes this tee stand out amongst all of those boring basic tees that we all have in our closets.  I'm guilty...I have one too many of those boring basic tees.   

It's time to trade up my friends.  Invest in a tee or two that takes your casual "jeans & tee" look to a whole new level.

Speaking of jeans...I was recently introduced to D1961 denim and Im so glad that I was because this particular pair (also available at Fab'rik Nashville) has become my absolute favorite pair of jeans.  I literally have been wearing them EVERY DAY!

Something you should know about this brand is that they will not stretch out!  Wear them 50 times and they will always fit the same way they did the very first time you put them on.  If you are going to invest in a great pair of jeans, I highly recommend that you check out D1961 denim.  Just try them on because I can promise you, you will not want to take them off, that's how amazing they are!

If you live locally, stop into Fab'rik and try both of these pieces on!  I've also linked the top & denim above.  You may also order directly from our local store:

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great start to your week!

Winter is coming!  For all of my "Game of Throne" fans, that saying has a completely different meaning to you!  But seriously, prepping for the cold with a thick warm frost fee vest is a MUST!

Although I don't own many "vests", I absolutely LOVE this one.  It doesn't just look cute but it is going to actually serve a purpose...keeping me warm!  There are only a few sizes left in this particular color BUT there are several other colors to pick from.

For a size reference, I am wearing a medium because I wanted the extra space for layering!

Also...I must tell you about my recent experience with Beija-Flor Jeans.  Beira-Flor's flagship store is located in Greenville, SC and they recently opened a store right here in Nashville.  I had always heard amazing things about Beija-Flor so I was thrilled when they invited me to their Nashville location to have a one-on-one consultation.

From the moment I walked in the door until the time I left with jeans in hand, I received a personalized shopping experience, which is something that they do for each and every customer.

The team at the Nashville store was well versed in their denim and was able to help me uncover which style of Beija-Flor jeans was the right fit for my shape.  Their knowledge, expertise, and professional opinions were gladly accepted because let's be honest...shopping for jeans on your own can be torture!

My perfect pair ended up being Aubrey Ankle "The Icon" in navy with Emana!  Emana is a patented skin firming technology that reduces the appearance of cellulite (YES PLEASE) and helps relieve muscle fatigue as well.  The overall result...a much smoother silhouette!

If you are local to Nashville, you must check them out!  They are located in Edgehill Village.  If you are not local, you can still receive a personalized experience as their website is fully equipped to help you uncover your perfect pair of jeans.  You can also call a (1 (800) 540-6241) Fit Master at the Nashville store and they would be more than happy to assist you!  I promise you will be nothing but satisfied!

I've also put together a collage of some gorgeous outerwear pieces that are currently 25% off!  Click on the images below and you will be taken directly to the site and don't forget to use code FRIEND at checkout to receive your additional 25% off!

Now is a great time to buy a new winter coat and enjoy some savings when you do!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great Wednesday!

p.s. starting yesterday, I began a #12daysofchristmas giveaway on Instagram!  Please feel free to enter and stay tuned for the next giveaway, which will be announced Wednesday night on Instagram!

We are one day closer to eating ourselves full and enjoying time with family & friends.  I'm going to be cooking this year (turkey and all of the fixins') but I still have some grocery shopping to do.  

If you are ever looking for an AMAZING green bean casserole recipe, let me know!  It's a swiss green bean casserole...it is to die for...SO GOOD!  I also make a pineapple casserole with pineappled chunks, shredded cheddar cheese, sugar, butter & Ritz crackers (my Dad's recipe)...don't knock it until you try it (it's another family fav)!

I can smell them in the oven now, YUM...anyway...

Today I've put together a classic look with a few timeless pieces such as this Piped Hacking Jacket over top of this gorgeous Italian Cashmere-Blend Sweater.  This classic Coach Nomad Hobo Bag and these gorgeous studded Justina Boots are the perfect pieces to compliment & complete this look.

And I just love gold paired with grey so I've added some gold tassel earrings and a gold statement ring for the finishing touches.

As always, thank you for stopping by and I would love to hear whether or not you will be cooking this Thanksgiving or maybe helping someone else cook!  If so, what is your go-to recipe?!  I'm always on the lookout for new recipes to try.

A little denim, a little tulle, & some tassels

 TOP: KOHL'S // SKIRT: LC LAUREN CONRAD // BOOTIES: SIMPLY VERA VERA WANG (LOVE THESE TOO) // TASSEL EARRINGS: GOLDEN STRAND JEWELRY // BAG: similar SHOP PRIMA DONNA

Happy Friday everyone!  We have a gorgeous fall-like weekend ahead of us and I'm absolutely loving the cooler temps.  I'm finding myself pulling out light 3/4 sleeve tops like this denim top & my open toe booties to help me easily transition into fall.  

Being that it is starting to cool off, it is time to start pulling out my tulle skirts again too.  This LC Lauren Conrad tulle skirt is the perfect neutral skirt and it has just the right amount of volume!  If you have always wanted to try wearing a tulle skirt but have been intimidated by the sheer volume that some tulle skirts have, a skirt like this would be the perfect place to start.

What I love most about this look is that I was able to put it together (top, skirt, & booties) for under $100...all from Kohl's!

I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead.  And as always, thanks so much for stopping by!

p.s today I am linking up with Two Thirty Five Designs!
