I Heart Nashville!!

I am back in LA and wishing I was back in Nashville walking down the street listening to some good old country music. Mrs. Reynolds and I had the most wonderful time and here are a few pics to share our time there, which was definitely too short but extra sweet!

We enjoyed some champagne in the Admiral's Club before our flight...

We arrived at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and headed down to the pool where is was sweltering hot to meet the contestants from Nashville Star.

Melissa was so sweet and we adored her.

We couldn't resist a pic with Shawn as we were all dressed in various shades of pink!

Had to get a pic with the cute and talented Gabe.

The next morning we were all for exploring the scene of Downtown Nashville. This cute streets was lined with boot shops, restaurants, bars and trees providing fabulous shade.

We further explored an adorable neighborhood called Hillsboro Village right by the Vanderbilt campus, and it was just too cute! Lined with great little boutiques and antiques, a place I could definitely reside.

I loved this sign and apparently a great place to listen to music The Stage on Broadway.

We finally ventured into a fabulous boot shop Nashville Cowboy on 2nd Street. Those cups in our hands contain a nice cold, frosty beer. My kind of shopping adventure. Mrs. Reynolds walked out with a pair, while I walked out empty handed.

We rushed to get ready for dinner at a fun new hot spot that just opened Lime that had me feeling like I was back in LA.

Once dinner was over, we ventured over to a local bar Dan McGuinness Pub and listened to some great live music....

Then we continued to dance the night away (please note Mrs Reynolds fancy new boots)!

The next day we caught watched rehearsal and then took to the big sky and headed back to LA. It has to be said that Nashville has the most beautiful skies I have seen in a long time!

Song Of The Week: You Can Call Me Al

">

Whenever I am having a bad day, or need a little giggle, this song always seems to get me out of a rut. You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon, also seems to bring a smile to anybody who walks past my desk while the song is playing. I mean little Paul Simon playing various instruments while Chevy Chase lip syncs...it doesn't get much better than that. I also enjoy the simple choreography incorporated into this video, if you watch closely it looks as though Chevy Chase just started doing the moves and Paul Simon followed...Love it!

I'm Going to Nashville....

I am off to Nashville for some good old country fun! Perhaps I will even purchase a pair of boots....Whatever your plans are this weekend, have a spectacular weekend!

I Put My Hand Upon Your Hip

When I dip

You dip, We dip....

I would like to do Da Dip in this Graham & Spencer Dip Dye Silk Dress.

Forever Frugal Friday

Going on a trip soon, sharing a hotel room, needs something cute to wear as your frolic around in the AM?

Look no further than this adorable Lauryn PJ Set. It comes in various colors (I am quite fond of this pink one), and is the perfect PJ set for those days you just want to lounge around and look cute. I mean I am a big fan of huge PJ pants and a baggy t-shirt, but now that summer is here, it is time to lighten it up a bit and be a bit more playful with your bedtime attire.

Bridesmaid Dress: Gossip Girl Style

I recently caught up on my Gossip Girl episodes and squealed with joy when I saw Serena walk down the aisle of her mothers wedding in this beautiful number. It was a dress to reckon with. Ruffles, yellow, floral, black gloves, and a sexy peep hole. Perfection in every way. Well guess what! Start scouring your couch cushions now, cause the dress is on sale right now at Ralph Lauren for a measly $2999!

The Ralph Lauren Ruffled Fillipa Dress is definitely a piece I covet and don't expect to be finding at my local TJ Maxx anytime soon. I sometimes like to play the game, if I had unlimited funds...well if I had unlimited funds, this dress would definitely be in my closet for my next social function. I can't wait to see what fashions next season will bring us!

Wino Wednesday

I haven't been drinking as much wine these days, with Elon gone and trying to stay healthy, but decided this weekend I needed to up the ante and try a new wine to write about. Since I would be spending the Saturday evening watching a movie with Waldo, a full bottle would have been a waste so I decided upon a split of the Cambria Chardonnay. It had a nice straw color to it and was neither overly crisp nor buttery. It was just quite simply stated a good white wine. Nothing to write home about (even if I am blogging about it). I don't know if I would pay $14.99 for a full bottle but the split at $6.99 was a pretty good deal for what it was.

Hopefully this weekend I will sample a lovely wine and be able to provide a better review next week!
