Read more to hear all the juicy deets about my first blogger event!
If you follow me on Instagram (@jesshereandnow), you might have been wondering what a girl who is in the middle of a shopping ban is doing hanging out in the mall... well I got an engraved invitation that I couldn't resist
Off Saks 5th Avenue invited a handfull of Nashville fashion bloggers to take part in their Winter Fashion Preview at Opry Mills Mall, and the day included style previews at Off Saks 5th Ave, Coach, Brooks Brothers, Vera Bradley, and Vera Bradley.

As you all know, I am an online shopping fanatic, and very brand loyal to J.Crew, so I was so surprised to find myself falling in love with a local mall.

Opry Mills was flooded during the Nashville Flood of 2010, and upon reopening last year, they made some incredible improvements to the area and Mall itself. The newly organized "Fashion Wing" has everything I ever wanted: Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, BCBG, Calvin Klein, Coach, Cole Haan, Gap, J.Crew, Michael Kors, Saks 5th Avenue, Steve Madden, Vera Bradley and MORE!

If you are in the Nashville, TN area, get thy self to Opry Mills Mall, and come December you will find me at Saks 5th Ave stocking up on presents for everyone on my list (and maybe one or two things for myself too)!
1st Row: The guys' section at Coach has great gifts for guys AND gals! // Classic Cole Haan purse // Sequins are big for winter - loving all the sparkly colors!
2nd Row: military chic Coach outerwear for men // Swoon worthy Brooks Brother's purse // pop of neon under Cole Haan shoes
3rd Row: Plenty of pattern in the Vera Bradley outlet // Miu Miu glitter heels in Off Saks // Chic Coach USB
4th Row: Classic looks at Brooks Brothers // My soulmate loafers at Cole Haan // colorful combinations for men in Cole Haan
5th Row: Colored denim galore in Off Saks // leather trip ball cap at Coach // Timeless ties at Brooks Brothers
The DVF clutch that I dearly wanted to make my baby!
The Cole Haan display that made me want to add colored shoestrings to every pair in my closet!
We had the Mall to ourselves for an exclusive hour of shopping!
It was so wonderful to meet fellow Nashville Fashion bloggers including Sami Cone and Kaelah Bee. Thank you so much to Opry Mills Mall for the invite... after November, I will be back!

P.S. I am linking up with Still Being Molly for #YOLOMonday, check out the fun { here }
