"Explore" is back (we hope you enjoyed last week's peek at the Anthropologie Fashion Show) and today Aissa, Ginny and I are sharing the second stop of our trip to Nashville, Imogene + Willie...

Imogene + Willie is just one of those spaces you walk into and immediately feel at home. These Tennessee makers do denim and they do it well in a revamped gas station that also houses found treasures, accessories and small stations for both Warby Parker and Aesop.

Sometimes a story just sticks with you, as is the case with Carrie and Matt's quest to create, sell and develop a community around good jeans (watch theirs here). I+W is, at its heart, a story of the American dream and what's more American than a great transformative pair of denim?

Carefully curated and filled to the brim with special little touches (like the original sign from when the space was Granny White Service Station), Imogene + Willie has grown to become one of my favorite new places to visit. Don't forget to stop by Aislerchic for Aissa's take on our trip!

p.s. I'm crazy for the "Elizabeth" denim!

A huge thank you to the Imogene + Willie team in Nashville for letting us roam the space, talking me through the amazing tailoring process and being the very picture (literally) of Southern hospitality!

Happy Friday! + weekly roundup

Happy Friday! I'm nearing the end of my visit to Northern Virgina and really starting to crave the routine and community that we left behind in Alabama for the week. As always, I have so enjoyed my time with family but it's always nice to go home again. Since I'll be stuck on the road for 12 hours this weekend I'm planning to use the time for some serious brainstorming and day dreaming!

Here's what I loved this (vacation) week:

Anthropologie Fall Fashion Show

Last week I had the absolute pleasure of participating in Anthropologie's Fall Fashion Show! The store's events are always some of my favorite outings of the year and have been responsible for connecting me with best friends and talented collaborators alike. A celebration of cool-weather fashion paired with the official launch of No'Ala magazine's September Style issue, this night was definitely one to remember.

p.s. This is a picture heavy post. See all of the pretty details below...
