What to Wear Wednesday



Aztec print has been a huge trend over the past season. As spring comes to the Music City, be sure to have easy pieces that can make a statement. These Aztec printed tops are feminine and fun! Perfect for everyday wear.

Which one would you wear?! 






 Adding a boot cut jean with subtle Aztec print can help make a more sophisticated outfit while still keeping up with this great trend!

 

 
Go for a top that has more visual interest! Pairing great high waist pants and pops of color with a fun purse and shoes can keep the look young and fresh.

Valentine's Day Dinner Map

Choose your Valentine's Day dilemma:
                      A. All dressed up and no where to go
                      B. Have plans but nothing to wear
                      C. Last minute decisions for both

Don't sweat it! This day of love--whether it be with your best friends, boyfriend, husband, mom, dog or self-- should be a breeze! And to help make your day as seamless as possible, we have created a guide to our incredible Music City for a night out on V-Day--complete with outfits styled from head to toe!





BELLA NAPOLI is an authentic pizzeria hidden in the Edgehill shopping center. Walking through to the restaurant is like walking down an ally in Italy. Their brick oven makes for true Italian pizza and their wine list never disappoints. 
URBAN GRUB is a fish pit &southern cantina with a unique and diverse vibe. They never fail to serve great dishes that any Southern Belle would enjoy. Even better? Urban Grub sports a long list of powerful and delicious cocktails.  
CABANA has a little bit of everything-- from pizza, steak, and pasta even the pickiest date can be easily satisfied. Whether renting out one of their namesake Cabana-style tables or sitting at the bar, Cabana is a great place to enjoy a fun-filled dinner date. 



VIRAGO  Not sure about Asian cusine? Virago will be sure to change your mind. An Asian fusion restaurant voted Top 100 Hot Spot Restaurants in U.S, the ambiance is vibrant and the tastes and pairings of the cuisine will be a true experience.   
WHISKEY KITCHEN Takes American Pub food to the next level. Located in the vibrant area of the Gulch this eatery never sleeps. We suggest putting their Mushroom Aioli on, well, everything. 

Cantino Laredo If you're a lover of Mexican cuisine but don't want to spend Valentine's Day in a hole-in-the-wall, we suggest Cantino Laredo. Serving authentic Mexican food in a sophisticated atmosphere you're guaranteed to find your favorite dishes and drinks with a dash of class. 
The Pub  With British comfort foods, delicious "shareables" and the best list of craft beer and good scotch. The Pub is the place to go on a group date or with your girlfriends to mingle with singles. This place is a guaranteed good time.





The Southern is located at the bottom of the Pinnacle building with complimentary valet in downtown Nashville. It offers a unique twist to classic southern food and makes smoking or marinating meat an art. The drinks compliment the entrees and make dining out a true experience. (Reservation Suggested)
Silo from farm to table this southern influenced cuisine is a real local treat. The constantly changing menu insures fresh food as well as fresh ideas. Everything from the silverware to the tables is produced by Nashville craftsmen. Nashville lovers and southern Belles will truly enjoy the local charm. (Reservation suggested)
Rolf and Daughters Located in the historic Germantown area of downtown Nashville, Rolf and Daughters is a true neighborhood eatery. Serving up Italian and Mediterranean food with a Southern twist, their seasonal menu is the example of culinary genius. If you love Italian and seafood, I challenge you to take a look at their menu and try not to let your mouth water. (Reservation suggested) 

Pinewood Social has elements that everyone can enjoy. Whether it's coffee, drinks, karaoke, bowling or just observing, the environment calls for social entertainment. Even Southern Living voted Pinewood as one of the best new bars of 2014!

Cork and Cow  Housed in where our beloved Sol used to live, Cork and Cow is a worthy replacement. With arguably the best steak in Franklin, this is a great place for two meat-lovers to dine. (Reservations Suggested)
Gray's on Main Located in historic Franklin Gray's on Main is the place to go for a one of a kind experience. With vintage spirits, a soulful jazz soundtrack (and often live band), and delicious Southern dishes, I would recommend this eatery to anyone this Valentine's Day.
The Red Pony Serving self-described "sophisticated Southern" dining, The Red Pony does not disappoint. With a couple's Valentine's Day menu that will blow your taste buds out of the water, I suggest you and your beau hurry on over and make reservations. (Reservations suggested)


Eastland Cafe is perfect for couples and singles alike. Boasting an incredibly inviting atmosphere and serving "good honest food at a good honest price," Eastland Cafe is an incredibly budget-friendly eatery without comprising taste. 

Silly Goose is featuring a 5-course menu this Valentine's Day that you do not want to miss. While this may look like your typical sandwich lunch spot, you'll be pleasantly surprised. They had me at " Lavender icecream, kumquat jam, Riesling brown butter and, vanilla dust."

The Wild Cow Vegan or Vegetarian? Don't worry, I haven't left you out of the loop! While the other restaurants featured to offer vegetarian fare, this restaurant is just for you. With great beer and a menu chock full of veggie and/or gluten free choices, this is the place to take your vegetarian love.

Two Ten Jack Let me just start off by saying that this is a Izayaka and Ramen House. While the word ramen may bring back your dreaded, broke-as-a-joke college days, fear not--this ramen is actually quite delicious. Served in a classic Izayaka (a drinking establishment that also serves food) style restaurant, this eatery gets an A+ for overall experience. Let me reiterate once more: this is a bar (with 24 taps) that serves delicious ramen--you're date will love you for this.
