Nashville Home + Style

 

Big changes are happening around here!  Nashville Fit + Style is now going to be called Nashville Home + Style.  Crystal and I truly loved pairing up together to run the blog the past couple of years.  She wants to focus more on her primary job + family.  We will miss blogging together but still are best of friends.  I took a career change late last summer and entered into working with my family's real estate company.  So it seemed natural that I could combine my love for real estate, home decor, and style into this blog!

While working in the pharmaceutical industry I started an Instagram fashion page on the side after the birth of my second son as a favor to my friends who wanted styling help.  It helped me fill a void that I was missing in my day-to-day sales rep life which also led to styling clients. Soon after Crystal and I joined forces to create Nashville Fit + Style and had a blast doing it.   Leaving 16 years of pharma sales behind I passionately jumped into residential real estate focusing on exceptional client service.  I am so excited to share my love of style, interior design and fabulous real estate finds in the Nashville area. Excited to have you here! 

My style philosophy is to not take yourself too seriously. Home decor + fashion is supposed to be FUN! I love to #mixitup- mixing high and low brands together for a modern way of living. There are numerous retailers out there that provide affordable pieces + fashion, so why not take advantage of that? It's important to purchase a few classic pieces, or accessories, that are the foundation of your home + wardrobe. Those pieces can be your more expensive items and then use more cost effective pieces to fill in the gaps. My favorite item to splurge on is handbags. I dream about handbags (insert eye roll). I love pairing a designer bag with my favorite on trend Target outfit!

For home home + closet maintenance, I believe that if you purchase an item you must purge an item as well. Having a cluttered home or closet makes it impossible to feel comfortable. Color coding and streamlined items in your wardrobe help get you out of the door faster in the morning. I use several local resale shops and online resale sites as well to purge my items. 

We are going to have a lot of fun with home decor and fashion, so follow me on social media @nashvillehomestyle and the blog!

Prime Day is here!! It really is almost like Christmas + is the perfect time to stock up on all the things. Amazon Prime Day started this morning, Monday, June 21, and ends at 11:59 PDT on Tuesday, June 22.

Here is the skinny on the sale:

What is Amazon Prime Day?
Typically occurring in mid-July, Prime Day was seen as an opportunity to boost mid-year sales and gather new subscribers. Now it's known as a two-day sale with a major opportunity to save big across the entire site.

Do I Have to Be an Amazon Prime Member?
Prime Day is available exclusively for Amazon Prime members, who currently pay $12.99 per month or $119 per year. But, there is a loophole: You can score a free 30-day Prime membership (if you haven’t canceled your membership in the past 12 months), and shop this sale.
Just be sure and cancel your trial before the 30 days run out to avoid getting charged. You can also sign up for a one-month membership for $12.99.

If you are anything like me then you are last minute with buying gifts (guilty as charged!).  So for all you fellow procrastinators I put some gift ideas together for the awesome dad/hubby in your life.  Thanks goodness for Amazon and Prime shipping so these gifts will all arrive before Sunday!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday! We went to East TN to hang out in the Smoky Mountains for a couple of days then saw our family in Knoxville. If you are like me then you missed Black Friday sales due to being with family or traveling. The great thing about these sales is that they are usually extended for a couple of days now to allow everyone to have time to scoop up some amazing savings. 

 Prime Day is here!  The epic Amazon sale lasts today thru tomorrow, October 14th.  This is a great time to get ahead of holiday shopping and snatch up some goodies for yourself!  This sale is exclusively for Prime members only. This is like Black Friday for Prime members and a great way in their words to "beat the holiday hustle!"

Here are my top 5 picks!

#1:  Apple AirPods with Charging Case

This is cheapest that the Apple AirPods have ever been marked down!  So if you have been waiting to buy these; now is the time.  My hubby gave me some last year and it was the best gift ever.  It's so nice to not have to deal with tangled wires!

#2:  New Echo Dot Smart Speaker with Clock and Alexa

This Echo is brand new and comes with the clock feature now.  My boys have both requested new clocks in their room for Christmas and this is the perfect gift idea for kids or adults!  

#3:  Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush

I am terrible at doing that salon type of blowout at home.  Round brushes are next to impossible at working through my naturally wavy hair.  This tool is a total game changer!  It really is foolproof to use and gives you body and smooths your hair at the same time.  I will never go back to another blowdryer!

#4:  Grande Lash Enhancing Serum

I've literally tried every serum on the market for my lashes.  After having my 2 boys I noticed that my hormones were jacking with my eyelashes as well as my eyebrows making them less full.  I didn't want to hassle with the maintenance of doing eyelash extensions so I started using serums.  They really really work!  I started with Latisse and also used the Rodan and Fields product.  I loved the results with those products but they are very pricey.  An aesthetician told me to try to this product and I have had even better results with this one!  GrandeLASH is on sale for $45 which is 30% savings.

It's really hard to get a good side shot of your lashes but I tried ha!  I took this pic to show you how long my lashes have gotten using this serum.  I'm also wearing Madewell tee, Uncommon James choker, Stella & Dot coin pendant necklace, and Tom Ford lipstick in Carriacou.

#5:  Lioness Women's Blazer

 By now you might be really sick of hearing about this epic sale but just in case I want to provide additional help!  So Nordstrom has now opened the sale to the public today (you don't have to have a nordy card to shop!).  Just a reminder that the sale ends on August 30th and there are still some great deals to be had.  

Be sure to check out my previous blog post here with my picks on athleisure + accessories.  

These Quay tortoise sunglasses are still available on the sale and detract from my no-makeup look and sweaty gym hair- ha!  My crystal huggie hoop earrings aren't on the sale but are still available at Nordstrom for under $30.  Check out my previous post with more accessories picks.
