 Wifey Tee

Okay, have I mentioned how much I love Ily Couture Tees? They are so soft! I'm dying to get the Mami Tee because I think its adorable to layer with and to wear alone in the warmer months. They tend to have some good sales, so if you're not wanting to spend the money, sign up for their email list to see when you can get a discount.

BlankNYC Jacket

Not only is this jacket is great for the cooler spring days, but it is so comfortable. It matches just about any outfit you want to pair it with because of the color (also available in grey and green). Plus, its only $98!

Show Me Your Mumu Bam Bam Bells

I have become obsessed with these pants. I seriously want to buy them in multiple colors/patterns. They feel like yoga pants, but look fancy. :) They are easy to dress up for a nice function, but you can also throw on a tee with them to dress them down a bit. Added bonus, they are LONG! I am able to wear heels with them and they don't look like high waters. Winning.  Be careful browsing this site though because you will want it ALL. I've already got my eye on my next two purchases!  {Note: The style I have is no longer available, but I have linked some similar below.}

Express One Eleven Top

This new line that they've come out with is dangerous for my wallet. All of the tops in this collection are made of extremely soft material and they are really affordable. I love this one because I can wear it alone or as a base layer for jackets, cardigans, plaid, etc! You will definitely want to check out this collection of tops.

H&M Bra

So I know this is supposed to be a sports bra, but I love wearing this under regular tops. I have searched for the perfect bralette for a while and just haven't found the right one just yet. So, until I find one, I will continue to wear this one quite frequently!

Favorite Nashville Gear

Being born and raised in Nashville (one of the few of us still left around here it seems!), I have become obsessed with any gear that is "Nashville" related. I decided I would share my favorites below!

BNA Aviate Brand Hat

As you can tell, I'm obsessed with my BNA hat, so naturally it made it into my favorite Nashville gear list too. ;) Plus, it comes in four different colors, so you can match just about any outfit with it!

The Nashville Shirt Company

I have a slight obsession with baseball tees in general, so when I found these, I couldn't help but love them. I have one of their other short-sleeved designs that I love, but am thinking I need to snag one of these too. Plus, the designs are super cute, especially if you're a Vandy, Preds or UT fan!

__________

The Nashville Mom Onesie and Mom Tee

I love The Nashville Mom blog, so when they came out with the matching onesies and tees for mom and baby, I had to get one of each. Added bonus, they are super comfortable and great for layering!{Also, can we note how little Ian was in these pictures--and how tired I look ;)--I may have just shed a few tears over how much he's grown!}

Project 615

Not only does this company make adorable tees and tanks, they work to raise awareness about the homeless population and giving back to the community.  It is so great all that they do for the community, so make sure you click over to check out their gear!

Best Places for a Nashville Date Night

Over the past year or so, we have been trying to go out to a different restaurant every time we get a much needed night out just the two of us. Although, there are way more restaurants popping up in Nashville than we can keep up with, I thought it would be fun to share our favorites that we have been able to try so far. With having to get a babysitter when we go out, it is so much more convenient for us to be able to make a reservation so we don’t have to waste an hour waiting for a table (seriously, reservations are clutch with a little one at home)! Hopefully in a couple of months I'll have  more places to add to my list. 

Sinema

Sinema is on the top of my list. If you haven’t been, you must go! The atmosphere, the food, the drinks and the wait staff are absolutely amazing. It is a bit pricier, so it is a special occasion pick for us, but I would frequent there if we could. I cannot wait until we have another occasion to celebrate to go back!

The Sutler

We went to the Sutler a few months ago for an impromptu date night, and we had such a great time. They have live music, affordable food prices, and they were having great drink specials while we were there. Definitely check and see when the music starts so you get to enjoy the show with your food and drinks.

Kayne Prime

This is also another special occasion place for us. I surprised Charlie with dinner here for his 30^th birthday. We had a very private booth to ourselves which was so great and intimate. The food is absolutely outstanding, they definitely did not disappoint. We have a very attentive wait staff as well. I wish I could remember our waiter’s name because he made our experience that much better with how friendly and knowledgeable he was the entire evening.

Cool Springs Brewery

Cool Springs Brewery is definitely one of those laid back restaurants that has great music. When Charlie and I went, we got to sit near the band that was playing and enjoyed great music, affordable food and good beer. They also have a space up top that you can rent that I thoroughly enjoyed when the Femfessionals group I am a member of had an event there. Make sure you check it out if you’re in Cool Springs and looking for a chill evening!

Pour House

Looking for a good burger, beer and great outdoor seating? Pour House is the place to go. We’ve been a couple of times, and I just love the outdoor seating that they have + the atmosphere. It is great when the weather is nice and they have live music because it is such a relaxing place to hang out and enjoy an afternoon. Thus, a great date spot without little ones to just unwind and enjoy the peace with your significant other!

What are your date night favorites in Nashville?
