February is all about the lovin’. Whether for yourself, your significant other or a friend, these FINDS will help you spread the love. Spring hasn’t yet sprung, but shelves are starting to be filled with warm(er) weather wear, fresh home goods and tasty treats. Get out and get shopping, Nashville, because these are FINDS you don’t want to miss.

FASHION AND ACCESSORIES

Slip-on sneakers

Johnston & Murphy’s spring collection is here, and their new selection of shoes and apparel have us swooning. It was a hard decision, but we narrowed down the many options and selected these slip-on sneakers as our favorite. Made with Italian suede and sheepskin, these shoes are stylish and comfortable. Find them in black, copper and blush at Johnston & Murphy for $138.

Billy Reid tees

Billy Reid designed these tees exclusively for Music City Marketplace. One shirt features “LOVE” with Music City Marketplace’s signature music note in off-white ink; the other features “Nashville” and the note in a velvet appliqué. These super-soft shirts are available in unisex sizes S-2XL. Find these at Music City Marketplace for $59.

Cream sweater

Winter isn’t over yet, so we are still enjoying — and shopping for — sweaters that can transition from winter to spring. We love the cream coloring and zipper details on this one, which we found for $89.50 at SOCA.

Persol specs

Fashionable eyewear is hotter than ever! We’re totally fine being called “Four Eyes” if it means we get to wear these stylish Persols. Many people with rounder faces tend to shy away from rounder frames, but we say go for it. These can look good on everyone! Shop these at Visionary Eyeworks for $290.

Tyler Boe dresses

These dresses just hit the racks at K. McCarthy! Make this a transitional piece as we head towards spring. With a built-in slip underneath, it is an easy, no-fuss dress that can be worn for any occasion. The dresses are pictured below in navy and orange ($198 each) and paired with an agate slice necklace by Molly Jane Designs, $228, and a white/gold strand by Sylvia Benson, $98. Find all of these items at K. McCarthy.

Kid’s sweater 

Give your little one some love with this sweater from Arcade Kids. Made with 100% Pima cotton, this is as soft as it is adorable.

Basic t-shirts

These basic tees from Gentle Fawn are perfect for layering. Pair them with a sweater or a jacket and jeans for a casual and comfortable look. The white shirt is a bit see-through, so consider wearing a Gentle Fawn bralette underneath. The shirts and bralettes can be found at Pieces Boutique in Germantown. We recommend buying the shirts in black and white ($42 each).

Linen shirt

Gentlemen, slip into this soft linen shirt and wow the ladies. For $355, you can make this Luciano Barbera one of your wardrobe staples. It is lightweight, which makes it perfect for layering. Pick one up today at The Oxford Shop.

HOUSE AND HOME

Overserved napkins

Epegrne’s collection of cocktail napkins is sure to elicit a few giggles. With punny phrases and illustrations, each one is clever and hilarious. If you have a tennis fan in your life, gift them a set of the overserved napkins. Find these, and more, for $10 each at Epergne.

Andrew Pearce bowl 

You might recognize the name Pearce from Simon Pearce, who is known for his glasswork. His son Andrew has made a name for himself by crafting artfully designed wood pieces.

Wine glasses

These wine glasses have us convinced — a glass of red wine is the equivalent to a half hour at the gym? Works for us! Give a set of these to your cardio-loving, wine-drinking best friend and fill ‘er up with delicious wine! These glasses are sold exclusively at The Beveled Edge for $12.95 each.

Ceramic heart dish

Toss your trinkets in this adorable ceramic heart dish, which features ruffled gold lustre edging, inspired by old love letters that had been folded and unfolded so many times they yellowed over the years. Give someone you love this dish for Valentine’s Day. You can find it at Dish Dish Goose for $98.

Topsy-turvy olive oil decanter (or flower vase)

This Valentine’s Day, give your someone special flowers in a funky vase — that doubles as an olive oil decanter. We love these vases from Vignette that sit on their side and are, in fact, topsy-turvy. After it is time to throw the flowers away, fill it with your favorite olive oil and allow it to sit on your counter or table as a conversation piece. These are $32 each at Vignette.

Valentine’s Day MEEL box

MEEL is offering the opportunity to enjoy a low-key Valentine’s Day at home. Their Valentine’s Day box includes chicken, olive and lemon tagine (djaj mqualli) or white bean fondue with roasted vegetables, which both cook in less than an hour. Bread from Village Bakery & Provisions, dark wildflower honey butter from Wise Butter, a Firepot tea selection and individual jars of chocolate pot de creme are also included. You can add an artisanal cheese selection from The Bloomy Rind to your delivery and enjoy wine pairings from Salt & Vine.

Rose finishing salt

In addition to a stellar selection of wines, Harvest Wine Market has a selection of gifts perfect for Valentine’s Day. It was hard to choose between the tea towels, artisan chocolates and these finishing salts, but we are eager to try the salts, which are made by hand on Nantucket. So while you are picking up a bottle of wine or champagne, pick up a few extra treats for the one you love. These salts are $18 at Harvest Wine Market.
