As we begin 2023, our friends and readers have gently asked for details on even more upcoming events. Seriously. Thus, the Nfocus Nsider column has been rejuvenated as a fresh look at not-to-be-missed events taking place in and around Music City, the region and the world.
Fashion
Gus Mayer Trunk Shows
Spring is just around the corner, and that means it might be time to add an item or two to your closet. For a fresh look this season, be sure to visit these upcoming events: known for beautiful couture and dazzling trunk shows, Gus Mayer spotlights two special designers this month.
First up, Lourdes Chavez will be featured in the store Feb. 9–11. Known for stunning design, Lourdes hand-draws her designs while keeping her client’s comfort and personal style in mind. The fashion-minded will find soft pastels and color in this season’s line — a refreshing change from the darker tones of winter.
Lela Rose, a regular at Gus Mayer, is back with a new line Feb. 22–25. Offering a well-rounded palette adorned with soft, gauzy accents, these pieces will be perfect for the spring social season.
Dining
Honey Tastings at Southall
The recently opened bucolic resort of Southall Farm & Inn is, firstly, a farm. Boasting over 325 acres of idyllic surroundings, these green spaces have been thoughtfully transformed into an apple orchard, kitchen gardens and an apiary. Now guests can enjoy the product of the bees’ labor with Honey Tastings: The tasting is an intimate, four-pour experience combining gourmet honey, exquisite wines and delectable small plates. Guests will enjoy chatting with Southall’s Executive Chef, Head Beekeeper and Head Sommelier while learning how to properly taste honey. Available at Southall every Saturday in February (except Feb. 18), 3:45–5 p.m. $150/person + tax & gratuity. SouthallTN.com
