Nashville: Weekend Sales & Events

This weekend I'm going to try and start working on my holiday shopping.  I still feel like it's a little early to be talking about the holidays, but the crazy post-Thanksgiving hysteria is only two weeks away!  We've got a few good sales for you and some fun events this week, so let's get to it.

Your future's so bright, you probably need some new shades.  Too much?  Sorry, I couldn't resist that.  Head over to UAL this weekend and check out their amazing collection of designer sunglasses that are all 30% off.

There are still some GREAT deals to be had at Two Elle.  Steven Alan shirts, Built By Wendy and Modern Amusement dresses, not to mention all the tees, jackets, jeans and skirts...all at fantastic prices.  

Did you get your Stella coupons in your Inbox?  If so, then you should have a 15% off coupon and online coupon code for our November Spotlight Store, Sleeveless in your hot little hand.  And make sure you check out our Facebook page to see a few extra photos from the Sleeveless shoot.  

  

You should also have a 20% off coupon for our October Spotlight Store, The Hip Zipper in your email too.  Trisha has all of her Fall/Winter goodies out now for women and men, so it's the perfect month to shop.

If you don't have an email with your coupons, you can sign up at the top right corner of the blog or send us an email on the contact page.

Wine, chocolate and shopping....could there be a more perfect event?!  I'm pretty excited about this one, especially since some of our faves will be there selling their goods.  Amanda Valentine, Abby White Plachy of Prairie Go Round, the Goodbuy Girls, the Green Wagon and more will have booths set up there.

The last GG Happy Hour and Trunk Show is this coming Monday, Nov. 15.  I've only made it to one of these happy hours, and it was a ton of fun.  This coming week's is definitely on my calendar!

Mark your calendars for Thanksgiving weekend at the Green Wagon.  They had me at Bang Candy Company.  Have you had these marshmallows yet?  The chocolate chili flavor is heavenly.

Happy Shopping!!
