Friday started off like this:
Then it was off to the CLT airport to meet up with my mom to jet it to Nashville:
We arrived in Nashville to a limo waiting to sweep us away to our hotel, the Gaylord Opryland:
We were pleasantly surprised at the grandeur of the hotel, it was one of the coolest places I have ever stayed. Definitely not your standard hotel:
(J.Crew Cardi, Seven Jeans, GAP Sandals, F21 Necklace, and GAP Tank)
After checking in, we made our way through the beautiful flora and fauna to our hotel room:
There were even several waterfalls throughout the hotel, it was just gorgeous:
Our room was so nice and I loved the balcony overlooking all the waterfalls and pathways through the hotel:
After scoping out our room and dropping our bags off, we headed out in search of the nearby mall, Opryland Mills for some food and shopping. After a bit of a walk to the mall, I was greeted by this yummy little cupcake kiosk, and I promptly obliged to purchasing a peanut butter cupcake:
After eating at the Rainforest Cafe and doing some shopping, we were pretty tired and decided to head back to the room to relax. We were greeted by a yummy bottle of bubbly courtesy of Clorox when we got back, which I promptly popped open:
Who can resist enjoying some bubbly with my newly acquired cupcake (which was outstanding, fyi):
We relaxed for a bit, then showered and hit up the Cocktail/Hors D’eourve party for all the folks who won the trip, there were ten winners in all plus ten guests. I went for a comfy, casual look:
(Anthropologie Top, Seven Jeans, Naughty Monkey Shoes, Lou-Lou, and some newly acquired earrings from my mom)
We met some of the other winners (some of whom were QUITE interesting, to say the least) and ate a few hors d’eourves, then decided we were hungry and sleepy and went up to the room to order room service. We needed our beauty sleep to meet Keith the next day, after all!

That mall is fun.. It’s owned by the same folks that own Concord Mills (that’s why it’s set up about the same!)… My boyfriends family is from there so we go about once or twice a year up to the Nashville area!! It’s a great walking tour city if you ever get the chance to do that!! Malls and concerts are fun – better when they are free like yours!! Glad you had a good time this weekend!!
WOW!!! Have fun!
