This past weekend was my first shopping trip in Nashville. Although it was riddled with disappointment (here’s looking at you Free People store), I was very impressed by the malls down there.
The first one we went to was The Mall at Green Hills. It has a lot of nice stores that you don’t see in my neck of the cornfields. To be quite honest with you though, I didn’t care about those stores. I just wanted to visit their FP store. I was beyond excited to try on about a dozen things I’ve been lusting over on the website. No such luck. They only had two of the items I wanted to try on & neither worked for me. It was a beautiful store & the ladies working there were fantastic, but I thought the selection just plain sucked. So, I walked out with $200 of unused FP credit. I did buy one top, which I’ll review for you soon.
LOVE that mirror!
We then traipsed over to an Anthropologie store, which was only a couple blocks away in an outdoor shopping center called Hill Center. Their sale room was unbelievably awesome. It had to be the best one I’ve seen in an Anthro yet (Not that I’m an expert…I’ve only been to three others). In retrospect, I probably should’ve snapped a picture of it, but the moment it caught my eye I was like a moth to the flame.
Surprisingly, I actually didn’t spend that much money there. I picked up two sale tops that will be great for office life & a lovely cuff bracelet.
Orielle’s Filigree Cuff (sold out online)
On Saturday we hit up CoolSprings Galleria Mall in Franklin (just a few minutes outside of Nashville). It is huuuge! Like, 150 stores huge! The thing that got me most excited was the Aerie store. I didn’t end up getting any clothing there (shockingly), but I did take advantage of their 5 for $25 deal on undies (Aerie boybriefs are sooooooo comfy!)
Coming in a close second was Forever 21. I’ve only been once & never really felt the need to go back. I keep seeing Kim from Anthroholic rocking cuteness from there, so I just had to give it another try. I’m glad I did! I picked up three tops & a cardi. I was only able to find a couple of the tops on their website.
I might be a Forever 21 addict now. I’m finding myself checking their new arrivals pretty much daily.
Lastly, I bought a pair of Artist crops from American Eagle. They fit well & look great on. They’ll likely be a go-to item for me this spring & summer on the weekends & casual Fridays.
