This has been such an amazing week for me. I'm utterly, ecstatically exhausted. If there was ever any doubt about Nashville's growing influence and popularity as a fashion mecca for the South it was laid to rest by my experiences and interactions with Music City's fashion community.

Access To Nashville's Runways

Sometimes access is a privilege. I'm excited that just over a week from now I'll be attending Nashville Fashion Week 2014. NFW has very graciously granted me access to runway shows, after parties, industry panels, and even an opportunity to chat with some of the designers. I have the honor of representing my demographic - women over 40, curvy, and disabled - and sharing my experiences during Fashion Week with you.

Pinewood Social

I have spent entirely too much of my life being anti-social.It's not that I don't like people - okay, I dislike some people - but that's not the real problem. My dilemma has always been twofold.

Double Valentines And Other Romantic Affairs

We have a relationship of sorts with the city we live in. Our happiness is as dependent upon what our town offers us as it is in our interactions with the people that surround us. Relationships that remain stagnant are generally destined to wither and die. These days Nashville is courting it's residents with promises of revamped districts, creative entrepreneurial neighbors, quality artisenal goods and exciting entertainment. It's like falling in love all over again, and I'm enjoying the courtship.

Hands On A Comet

We blog because we want to share a part of who we are with the world. Our fashion sense, our knowledge, our life experiences, are what we pour onto our posts in search of validation and commonality. It's become my mission to show you my passions expressed in my town with my physical limitations at my stage in life. That includes fashion and trends and giveaways but also a steady push towards social awareness and acceptance of the disabled.

Have A Heart

Did you know that heart disease is the number one cause of death for women in the US? That means one out of every four women will die of a heart related incident. It's likely that heart disease has directly or indirectly affected your life. I know it's affected mine.

Pinky Promise

February is all about love. A life without love will always be incomplete - and that starts with your own ability to love yourself.
