Memorial Day weekend brought about an unusual brunching sunday. Most outlaws were out of town, had family in town, or were extremely hungover(me), so from what I hear it was brunch for 2 at Mad Donna's. Word on the street is...the bloody mary bar was not as fabulous as usual, and the food was okay at best. I'm kinda glad I stayed in bed until 2:30.
But then the excitement was raised a couple notches when the brunchers swung by the house to scoop me up. We didn't have eatin' on our minds that afternoon. Oh no, it was all about...Ghetto-fabulous clothing stores on Gallatin Rd. That's right! We hit up 615 Ave and Designer Fashion Hookup. I have to admit that before Sunday I had never been to an urban fashion market. Boy, I didn't know the treasures I was missing! 615 Ave was my fave. Leggings that wrapped around your calves and tied at your ankles, super cute tanks screen printed with tatto-inspired designs, denim skirts, shorts, cute accessories...lots of goodies. My favorites had to be the women's underwear with built-in butt padding, the men's BRIGHT seafoam green loafers, and the marijauna leaf button down shirt. Seriously people, there actually were a few items that I would buy in there, and the rest of the novelties were fabulously entertaining! Designer Fashion Hookup was next. That store is smaller, and not as easily accessible, but the merchandise and general atmosphere are a bit classier. They had great heels, boots, bags, accessories, and the gentleman behind the register was very friendly. Bottom line - don't hate on the Gallatin Rd. urban fashion marts....you might be surprised at what you could find!
Next it was on to Pre to Post Modern on 8th Ave. I have loved this store for a long time. Everytime I vist, I take something with me. Their selection of vintage furniture, clothing, knick-knacks and novelties is top notch. And there is always new stuff to look at. This time I purchased a wierd piece of framed art, and the owner herself, Ms. Karen Hollywood, was there to ring me up and share some entertaining stories.
Next it was pedicures at Venetian Nail Spa in Green Hills. The service was awesome, our feet look fabu, and the price was right!
After all that shopping and pampering, we were hungry. Time for some grub at Carraba's. We had the fried Zuchinni as an appetizer..yum, yum! Our entrees were the Manicotti, Lobster Ravioli, and Spaghetti and Meatballs. Everything was super tasty! Our server "Fabio" was delightful, and the topic of conversation was fashion and events in Nashville.
Pretty damn good Sunday in my book.
