A Quick Trip to Nashville

Recently I took a quick last minute trip (which seems to be my new thing) to Nashville. I stayed at a friends place, who lives in the city, where I was accompanied by my two sisters and best friend. Going into this trip, I was excited to visit a new city but didn't know much about it or what to expect. I spent a couple days before the trip reading about where to go and what to do. 

The first thing I have to say about my short trip to Nashville is that I ended up loving the city way more than I expected. The food was amazing, the people were so nice and the city was beautiful. Every corner of Nashville had its own feel to it but all equally amazing. 

TUESDAY:

     We arrived in Nashville around 6 pm on Tuesday, unpacked, and went straight to dinner. We ate some of the best sushi I've ever had ACME Feed & Seed. I had the Godzilla Roll, which ended up being the tables favorite. It was so good we ended up eating here again on our last day. After dinner, we headed to Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream for some quick desert.

WEDNESDAY:

     Our first full day in Nashville started a little rainy, but that didn't stop us from exploring the city. We started our day with some of the most delicious bagel sandwiches I've ever had from Proper Bagel. I ordered the Rachel bagel sandwich that consisted of pastrami, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing, and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten.

We spent the rest of the day, exploring the city, visiting the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, and spending the night out on Broadway. 

THURSDAY:

    On our last day in the city, we begin the day at Three Brothers Coffee. While the coffee was good and the atmosphere was even cuter, the only thing I would have changed would have been my food choice. With their limited lunch food options I should have stuck with one of their pastries rather than their Mediterranean wrap, which wasn't my favorite.

          Post-coffee, we headed over to the Parthenon to do some sight seeing, which ended up being right across the street. While we decided to not go in, due to the fee, it was still cool to see the large building with such small detail.

      After a quick break (and outfit change), we head back out, did a little shopping then, finally got what I was waiting for the whole trip, Biscuit Love. We got some of their famous Bonuts (Biscuit-Donuts) and they were a m a z i n g. They came in a dish of five, which was the perfect amount, especially if you are sharing, after two I was satisfied. 

       Later in the day, we went back to ACME to grab some late lunch sushi. We decided to spend some chill time at the apartment and hang with friends for a while before going to a late dinner to fit in the last spot on our food list- Hattie B's Hot Chicken. And as most places, the food tasted just as good as expected. 

      Overall, I had an amazing time in Nashville and I'm hoping to make a second trip at the end of the summer because I can't seem to stay away, so stay tuned. I hope you enjoyed this post, I know it was a more lengthy than my past travel post, but I wanted to give a better day-by-day explanation of my trip and my opinions of the places I visited.

Spring Break '17

4 days before spring break, my plans were to do absolutely nothing and enjoy the hell out of it. 3 days before spring break, my friends and I found a really good deal at a resort in Orlando, Florida and booked it that day. The following monday we drove 13 hours to Central Florida, unpacked and made the most of our week. Making a couple day trips to near by beaches, visiting downtown Disney, and eating lots of good food. Although, I didn't take as many pictures as I wish I would have, here are a few to visually summarize (most) of my trip. 

Xoxo, Jordan Batitto

DIY Cut-Off Denim

 

Cut off denim has been in trend for a while now and I am definitely still here for it. However being petite, it is a little bit harder for me to find a pair that work for me and actually give the cut off look, rather then being normal length jeans.  

Whether you have the same problem or you just simply have a pair of jeans that you wanna cut up; Below is a quick & easy way to get the cut off denim look.

What you need:

- Jeans

- Scissors

- Pen/Marker

- Ruler

Step 1: Find your jeans.

It can be any pair you are okay with cutting up. Whether it be an old pair that you've had in your closet or a pair you thrifted for this purpose. Remember how tight the jeans are, make a difference in how they are going to look. 

I have a pair of mom jeans, so mine will end up being a little more lose on the legs.

     

Step 2: Find your length & mark it.

To find where to cut your jeans, you are going to want to try them on with a pair of everyday booties. Fold up the jean so that the bottom of the fold touches the top of the shoe. This cut will end up be the longest part of your jeans (The back). 

Once you fold the pants, you will need to make a small mark or two on the jeans to keep your place. I would recommend trying to take the pants off without unfolding the bottom because it makes it a little easier.

Step 3: Cut off the bottom excess.

Cut to the mark you had previously made, then cut off the bottom part of the jean. Measure up to the other leg then do the same.

Step 4: Mark & cut the front. 

(You can stop at this step if you end up just liking how the cropped pants look.)

To get the shorter front, you will then measure up 1 inch from the bottom and mark both sides and even one in the middle for a guide. (I ended up liking how 1 1/2 inch looked, you can play with it to your liking)

Once you have made your marks it is time to cut. Cut the seams of both sides, then cut across.

(This is when I decided to add an extra half inch)

... and that's it!! You can play with it to get whatever look you want.
