Art Opening & Holiday Shopping Spree

Join us on Wednesday, November 30th from 4-7 pm to see new works by artist Martha Case Nemer. 100% of the art proceeds go to the Melvin Case Christmas for Kids Foundation; 10% of all other Cotton Mill sales (excluding gift cards) will also go towards the charity.

Last of all, don't forget that Cotton Mill gift certificates will be 25% off, only on Wednesday! Knock out your Christmas gifts early (for less!).

Come by starting at 4 pm. There will be light hors d'oeuvres and the champagne will be flowing! 

Small Business Saturday!

As the holidays approach, so does the question of what to give the people you care about, and where to get it.  The goal is to give them something they will love, but also something you feel good about giving. The answer? Shop in small businesses this holiday season! Support the people who make your community unique and vibrant instead of a large chain.  A diverse and supportive community is a strong one.

Ok, I'll step off my soap box now! Join us November 26th for Small Business Saturday, the day after Black Friday (of course, we'd love to see you on Black Friday, too!), in solidarity with shopping local, shopping small. See you then!

Brooke Worthington Jewelry at the Cotton Mill

We are always looking for something new, fresh, and fabulous to show our customers. That is why we are delighted to share Brooke Worthington Jewelry! Brooke, a student at Belmont University, makes her beaded bangles from semi-precious stones, recycled glass, wood, and bone beads and embellishes them with sterling silver vintage charms and relics. They look great in a big ol' stack or mixed in with an assortment of metallic bangles. The holidays are creeping up, slowly but surely, and these would make excellent holiday gifts!

Milly Trunk Show!

Come by and grab some amazing fall wardrobe essentials from Milly...before its all gone!

Alice + Olivia Trunk Sale! October 20th-October 22nd!

Get ready for an Alice + Olivia Trunk Show at the Cotton Mill! Running Thursday, October 20th through Saturday, October 22nd, we will have oodles of A+O fall frocks, coats, sweaters, and more! We never know what the lovely ladies in New York will be sending down South, so here is a sampling of their Fall 2011 line...who knows what treasures will be in the Mill?

Also, feel good about your fashion sense and contribute to the Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure at the same time! A portion of the proceeds from all A+O trunk show sales will go to fight breast cancer. So, come and get it, ladies, because I have a feeling it will not last through the weekend. 

Happy shopping! xoxo!

The Beautiful People

So,  we all know that The Cotton Mill has been helping the lovely people of Nashville be their best and most beautiful for years...it's what we love to do! But did you know that The Cotton Mill produced a beautiful person from scratch? Our very own Jake Nemer was included in the Nashville Lifestyles Most Beautiful People 2011 list!

Check out the article here. Lots of lovely Nashvillians were recognized, including some of our favorite CM customers. Stay beautiful, Nashville!

Coterie & more

Tibi, lovely lovely Tibi. As usual, they brought the colors and patterns in some fabulous ways.   Even though they showed very spare and sleek designs on the runway, we saw patterns, pleats, and color at market. I took some photos to document what might be coming your way for Spring 2012.

Of course, lets not forget that we have amazing Tibi pieces in-store for fall as I type this blog post! 

Speaking of fall, here in NYC the weather has been amazing this weekend and everyone is desperately getting their last wears out of summer clothes.  Personally, I'm all about the tights, boots, and jackets so I can't wait for more cool weather.  For some fall dressing inspiration, here are some recently documented fall looks on the streets of NYC during Fashion Week.

Amanda Hearst (media empire heiress/NYC socialite) pairs a chambray shirt with a bold pattern and ankle booties. The bright accessory is a great pop of color. Add tights and its perfect for fall!

A chic and streamlined jumpsuit and blazer combo. 

Killing it with autumn neutrals! Love these accessories, too.

Love the mustard yellow paired with sequins. This could be a great day-to-night transition!
