Celebrating 53

Last week the ladies of Nashville's 12th & Broad wrote a piece about birthdays. It turns out they are all Taureans (born between April 20 and May 20) and they shared their thoughts about where they are in their lives and how they celebrated their birthdays. As a double-Taurus myself I can't help but feel a sense of Sisterhood with my new Nashvillians friends, even if they are much younger than I am. Almost everything they're experiencing is old hat to me, but that doesn't mean that my life has run it's course and I'm ready to "go quietly into that good night".

Amanda Valentine Spring 2014 Trunk Show

There's a lot more going on in Nashville during Fashion Week than runway shows. To that end, I was happy to accept my friend Amanda Valentine's invitation to see her new collection for Spring 2014 firsthand.

Thank You Nashville Fashion Community

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.
