style, stories & everything in between
cue up the country music and break out the bbq, we're headed to nashville on thursday, y'all! as part of S's anniversary present (in honor of the "paper" tradition for year one), i surprised him with tickets to one of our favorite comedian's shows. the only problem was that iliza shlesinger's tour wasn't coming through southern california. SO ...
i'll start this off by saying that this post contains far too few photos for my liking. somewhere between the rainy weather and navigating nashville roads, we were remiss in documenting on camera a good majority of our trip. but what i can offer you are words (and a few iphone photos) and hopefully my way ...
as you're reading this week's edition of it's friday, i'm in love, S and i are on a plane headed to country music city, USA. yes, it's true, i'm making my eighth (EIGHTH!) pilgrimage to nashville and this time i'm so excited to have my partner-in-crime also in tow. in addition to having my love with me ...
welp, it's already the last friday of august! fall is officially in sight and i could not be more excited. another reason to be excited? the fact that S and i have zero plans this weekend. seriously, zilch. so i'm anticipating a lot of relaxing, perhaps a daily outfit photo shoot or two, and definitely ...
for someone who, since labor day it seems, has wanted nothing more than to feel the rush of crisp autumn air sweep across her cheeks, and a legitimate reason to don her coziest knit sweaters and worn-in boots, this past weekend in nashville was the perfect appeasement for my fall cravings. but as my visits to nashville climb near ...
as you're reading this, i'm on a plane (similarly sung to "i'm on a boat"). where am i headed you ask? my home away from home, nashville, tennessee! after i cancelled my trip last may (due to that whole firestorm we had in san diego), i luckily was able to reschedule in the fall. and ...
i went on a date with a guy once who, in learning my age, was quick to tell me how good i looked (in spite of it). "i thought you were like 21 or 22," he said. thank you? does this mean my anti-wrinkle cream is doing its job? maybe it's the oil-pulling. mostly i ...
annnd that's a wrap, folks! i cannot believe another 365 days have come and gone and we're already at another new year's doorstep. and while i'm always grateful to have been gifted another chapter to fill my life's novel, i will say that i'm very ready (maybe more than in previous years) to say so-long ...
goodness me, it has taken me forever to write this post. i mean, my trip was almost two weeks ago (get yourself together, shawna!). anyway, i promised myself (and you) that i would recap my latest visit to nash and doggonit i'm not breaking that promise. so here it goes. after a crazy friday morning at ...
they say third time's a charm and i can't help but to agree because it'll certainly be charming to land in nashville this evening for my third, count it, third visit this year. [okay, technically it's my fourth time visiting, but the september trip was for work, so i'm counting this trip as my third visit for "play." plus, i really love ...
