Aissa, Ginny and I have been publishing our "Explore" series every Thursday lately (see past locations here) and I've grown to really love every single spot we've been able to share. While our little team is away visiting a few more amazing Nashville haunts, feel free to take a peek behind the scenes via Instagram.
Don't forget to follow @aislerchic to see things from Aissa's lens as well!
"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! 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:
