tennessee: take 2!

back from tennessee!  it was such an awesome, awesome trip.  we flew in late on thursday night - arriving just in time for some wine :)  the rest of the weekend was mostly spent shopping.  friday we spent walked around in nashville, having some sushi and visiting some really fabulous stores.  the rest of the weekend was all inside (in the mall, mostly!) due to pouring rain.  highlights of the weekend included:

my new anthropologie charm necklace!
*delicious late dinner on the patio at eastland cafe
*discovering the big c with annie
*home-cooked meal of some amazing vodka cream sauce with scallops
*the first pair of jeans i've bought in years, courtesy of philanthropy  (i never buy jeans, this is now the 2nd pair i own!)
*bralets, which means i basically have stopped wearing bras when i'm not at work thanks to these *comfortable, lacy little numbers
*avocado tempura at zumi
*heat relief in the form of iced coffee from fido in hillsboro village
*getting pedicures while sipping wine at nail bar 
*obsessing over the amazing jewelry at pangea
*shopping in hillsboro village, especially posh, where i found the most adorable cocktail dress

wine @ 11:45? why not!

having a blast :)

pedicured & ready for a day of walking in hillsboro village

which cocktail at zumi should we get?

the four of us girls
there was definitely more shopping and less drinking than last year's trip, but still a fantastic trip.  can't wait for these ladies to come out and see us in the fall.

well it's a rainy and cold day here in denver, which means cocktails and twilight zone marathon with philip :)  but it can rain all it wants here in denver, because ... 

5 days til jamaica! 

til next time... xoxo
