Discover Nashville Shopping Finds from Our Sex and the City Party
Friday, July 2, 2010
The stage was set for the year's most fabulous party - the details, the lights and all the hard work and planning came together. When all the ladies got to the party, we had even more for them to do than just sit pretty and sip on cocktails! There was so much shopping and who doesn't love that! Yesterday we recapped our great bridal options, today it's all about what women loved at our party in terms of everyday goodies from Nashville female entrepreneurs with great clothes, jewelry, clothes and accessories. There was something for everyone!
The Shopping: Pretty Paper
It was hard to decide where to start. For example, stationery companies, You're Invited, Paperkuts Studios and Relish showcased wonderful stationery options for personal stationery, wedding invitations, parties and showers. With such pretty paper options, it was a great way for everyone to see, touch and even purchase!
Relish allows you to build your own super cute stationery online.
Located in Belle Meade - You're Invited is a one stop spot for gifts and stationery.
Paperkuts Studio is located off Lebanon Road and has a plethora of fun paper goods. They also sell a great line of ethnic items that includes African American and Hispanic stationery. Photo courtesy of Nashville LIfestyles Magazine (who were there to party with us! Thanks for coming ladies!)
The Shopping: Fabulous Nashville Women's Clothes, Jewelry and Accessories
Val's Boutique had a huge rack full of the cutest little dresses and blouses! Girls were able to shop for the latest fashions. I was so busy I didnt get to check out the selection but I plan to!!! Hopefully Val still has the first dress on the rack. I love it!
Ginger, the owner of Nala Style is so chic! She travels to LA all the time to bring Nashville ladies the hottest in jewelry and shoes. You wont see these styles anywhere else locally. From the most delicate earrings to the boldest statement necklaces, these statement pieces take any outfit to a whole new level.
Those of us looking to update out wardrobes also got to choose fun purses, hair accessories and dresses. Nala Style had a huge selection of bags and clutches.
We're still so in love with Stella & Dot which has some of the prettiest, eye-catching accessories. Best part? Stella & Dot stylist Kim Wright was on site to help girls fine the piece that was right for them.
The Shopping: Sustainable Indulgence for Us & Mother Earth
Eco-friendly products don't always guarantee "pretty" things. Changing all that is iHospitality whose owner, Ashley, believes that there's beauty in sustainability that won't take away from the overall fabulous look of your event. Her "Simple Sets" product line is great for eco brides (or event planning women) who want disposable products that are kinder to Mother Earth.
Maintaining intimacy is fun; maintaining intimacy with some fun products makes it even more enjoyable. Girls had a blast picking through products from Pure Romance whose lotions and oils looked delightfully exciting (and naughty!)
Our last shopping vendor was Thistle Farms, which you MUST know about. We'll feature them on ABG in a few weeks (after my tour of their farm) but for now, take a few moments to check them out. They have a great story/cause and an even better line of body products. They are Nashville based (yippee) and all about empowering women.
That's it for today but we're not even close to being done so check back next week for the yummy treats and swag! Photos courtesy of Jonathon Campbell Photography and Kristyn Hogan lifestyle photographer.
