Flora + Fauna | Coffeeshop find in Nashville, TN
BEYONCE.
Was the reason for the trip, but of course you have to do things around the queens arrival. We just so happened to be waiting for brunch on Sunday morning, a mistake in a lot of ways as it took up an entire day. We decided to go ahead and go to a coffeeshop during our wait.
My friend pulled up a few different options in our area, then handed the phone to me because it is my gift to pick the right vibe. Yet again that gift did the damn thing and Flora and Fauna was chosen. When we pulled up, we we’re not disapointed.
Flora and Fauna Nashville is located in the heart of East Nashville inside of Highland Yards. Formerly 1920’s Vaughn Manufacturing space turned retail and creative office space and it's beautiful! It has a bit more flair than the typical industrial places turned modern.
From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted by the smell of fresh coffee and the sound of birds chirping. The walls are decorated with botanical prints, and the tables are made from reclaimed wood. Making it perfect for a content creators dream of great lighting and amazing aesthetic.
But Flora and Fauna Nashville isn't just about making great coffee. I had a yummy Orange Espresso Martini and it was that perfect type of mildly bitter that you taste when you drink an amazing cocktail. It was perfectly balanced.
Not only are they a cute spot, they're also committed to giving back to the environment. They use compostable cups and straws, and they recycle all of their waste. They also partner with local businesses and organizations that are working to protect the environment.

One Day In | Nashville, Tennesse
505 BUILDING
I love a good day trip. There is nothing like popping into a city for a day. With Evansville, IN being in a really good position for quite a few, I try to get to a new surrounding state every couple months. Nashville hasn’t been on the top of my list, but now I have friends in the city.
Emma and I headed down for a night and stayed in her condo as she splits time between Evansville and Nashville. The 505 Building is located downtown and is super freaking cute. We spent most of our time here after we hit up Whole Foods on the way in. The pool and co working spaces were my favorite.
MURALS
If you’re a picture girl, there are a ton of murals so don’t forget to stop and strick a pose.
SEW NASH
If you are looking for something to do out of the usual bar hopping in Nashville, I highly recommend visiting SEW NASH. I found them on Airbnb Experiences and this was SO fun. I haven’t really sewn much in my life, but by the end of it I was ready to start a new business. We got to sew a bandana that Ziki looks amazing in. We also made a makeup bag that I use religiously. Our instructor was so cute and informative. If you want to bring in drinks and snacks you can. The vibes are immaculate and I totally think this would be great for bach parties, family get-togethers or just a night out to catch up with friends. Once of my favorite touches was that each sewing machine was named after a Diva. I got Dolly.
SUPPER CLUB
This super swanky place had a llve jazz band. If you’re looking for some good music and not to get to rowdy, but still have a good time this is the spot. The Supper Club was just one level of The Twelve Thirty Club. We didn't explore the others, we’ll leave that for another time. The speakeasy vibes the Supper Club was giving is enough to fill your cup. We had a few bites- the mushroom medley and one of the desserts. Both left my mouth very happy.
