With the summer approaching, Neil and I have made it a goal to hit as many food trucks in Nashville as possible. And there are maaaany.

While we were headed to Mas Tacos (a favorite of ours) the other day, we passed a brightly colored truck parked not far from our house. It was Barbie Burgers, a truck we hadn't seen before.. we decided to stop and give it a try.

We both had the classic cheeseburger with a mix of regular and sweet potato fries, and it was delicious. The lady who helped us spoke of fancier concoctions they'll soon be serving - ideas that were all mouthwatering - but I was satisfied to try a good, old fashioned burger. We grabbed our food to go and took it home to eat on the couch.

I'm sure you'll be seeing more evidence of our food conquests this summer. It's that festival, outdoors-y time again, when Nashville throws music parties on the courthouse lawn (!) and this food truck trend goes into full swing. I'm so thankful to retire my winter coats and wear crop tops again.

Hope you're having a lovely weekend! Any fun plans going on? I'm working today and tomorrow, so I'll have to live vicariously through you all until Monday.

vintage spring lookbook

Here it is.. Blooming Leopold's vintage spring 2011 lookbook! All of my favorite finds of the season, stored away until today. These pieces are all headed to the shop tonight, handpicked vintage from the late 1930s all the way to the early 90s. Eyelet lace, seersucker, madras plaid, chambray, liberty print cotton, creamy silk.

Photos shot by Neil at beautiful Percy Warner Park. This was a fun afternoon to spend outside, the weather was perfect and everywhere we turned was another pastoral setting, right in the middle of Nashville. The little purple weeds dotted an entire hillside, which made me think of visiting the wind-swept moors of Haworth as a kid (although Nashville is not as pretty and quite a bit warmer). All of this scenery makes me miss living in the country.

More photos here. Lookbook items hitting the shop soon!
