A Tribute To Friendship And Fashion
Sweet Maggie Rose
ARTICLE BY KAREN CREASON
PHOTOGRAPHY BY @JANET_RAYNE_PHOTOGRAPHY
With her long-standing involvement in the community, infectious personality, and genuine love for all people, Margaret Zeigler is a stranger to none.
Alongside her husband Chris, Margaret dreamed of combining their separate businesses under one roof. Recently, their prayers were answered as they relocated, restructured, and rebranded their Spring Hill businesses, Living615 and Vintage 615, into Living on 6th and Sweet Maggie Rose. “We do best together, and now you can find furniture, lighting, home decor, boutique clothing, gifts, and friendships all in one place in our shop in downtown Columbia,” says Margaret.
Named to honor the sweet friendship shared between Margaret's mother, Rose, and Rose’s best friend, Maggie, Sweet Maggie Rose is all about friendship and fashion.
“We love to have fun. We strive to inspire. We hope that our collection of clothing, accessories, and unique, heartfelt gifts will encourage and lift you up, bring a smile to your face, and maybe just make your day a little brighter,” Margaret shares.
One of the ways Sweet Maggie Rose fosters this spirit is through their monthly ladies night, where friends gather for an evening of fashion, fun, and friendship. “Ladies try on stylish outfits, strike a pose for our incredible photographer, Janet Rayne Photography, and enjoy delicious food and drinks. It’s an evening celebrating the joy of camaraderie, encouragement, and genuine support. It’s truly a soul-nourishing night,” continues Margaret.
Sweet Maggie Rose offers a wide range of accessories and jewelry, in addition to activewear, bottoms, dresses, jumpsuits, jeans and denim, outerwear, tops, and more, catering to ladies of all shapes and sizes, from petite to curvy. Sweet Maggie Rose reminds you of the special friendships in your life and opens doors for you to find your own Sweet Maggie Rose—and some incredible fashion too.

A CUT ABOVE THE REST
ARTICLE BY BRIANNA MELANSON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LOUIS LEGGIERI
Mark Farrell has scoured the earth for the purest sapphires. His adventure to Sri Lanka and exploration of various mines gave his jewelry company, Buffalo Craft, a new purpose and edge. Experiencing firsthand where gemstones originate was life-changing. He is thrilled to share the stories from his journey.
The most striking gems come from the East where the land contains more pressure and heat. When you think of a sapphire, you picture a deep blue stone, like Princess Diana’s engagement ring. However, this sought-after stone can come in various colors, such as the natural purple one tattooed on Mark’s left hand. In Sri Lanka, native sapphires come in a rainbow of colors and are usually mined from under a farmer’s rice field and panned manually. During Mark’s trip, he and his group spent a week in Ratnapura, the center of gemstone trading. There, they built relationships with miners who have been in the trade for generations. “It’s all about relationships first and business second,” says Farrell.
When Mark examines or acquires gems for his customers, he not only understands how they were discovered, but also shares in the miner’s excitement when a gem is

uncovered. At the markets, the miners are eager to showcase their finds. Mark compares the hunt for natural, unheated gemstones to treasure hunting at garage sales. He says, “As a jeweler and an American, ordering these gems from a catalog doesn’t reveal the effort it takes to search for them day after day. When you buy gemstones directly from miners, you see where the money goes. You’re supporting their schools, lifestyle, and community. It brings a sense of humility to the whole process.”
With Mark’s global connections, Buffalo Craft can source the finest rare gems, making them a premier provider of colored fine gemstones in the Nashville area. In their Spring Hill studio, Mark and his team of specialized artisans, including a CAD expert, were busy crafting various rings and intricately transforming a brooch into a cuff bracelet. One project involved making four exact replicas of a grandmother’s 1930s cluster ring. Mark explains, “We had to source old-world cut diamonds that are all period accurate.”
In another project, a Tiffany eternity ring needed to be resized by one size, which involved seamlessly adding and setting new diamonds into the platinum band. For another customer, Mark has spent over 60 hours meticulously bezel setting a ring with a stunning 3.38ct Colombian emerald using tiny punches and chisels known as gravers. With a profound grasp of sophisticated manufacturing methods and techniques, Buffalo Craft embraces intricate projects that other jewelers might avoid. “We take our time because quality can’t be rushed.” An average turnaround time of 10- 6 weeks for standard jobs, Buffalo Craft ensures enduring quality.
If you are interested in a custom piece that reflects your individuality, a matching wedding band, rare gems, or have heirloom jewelry that you would like re-worked or restored to its original condition, visit BuffaloCraft.com to schedule an appointment.
NURTURING NASHVILLE’S creative talent
The
Nashville Fashion Forward Fund Is Inspiring The City’s Next Generation Of Fashion Influencers
ARTICLE BY ED ATLAS
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANGELA WINGARD, ATLANTA
At its core, Nashville is a creative community. Creatives are the source of the city’s energy. They are its beacon to the rest of the world.
That creative spirit now extends to the fashion industry. Over the last quarter century, Nashville has taken a position alongside the world’s leading fashion centers. From design and manufacturing, to corporate and retail and from trade shows to education, if it’s happening in fashion, it’s happening in Nashville. “Everyone wants a piece of the Nashville fabric,” says Marcia Masulla, a communications strategist, brand builder and the co-founder and managing director of Nashville Fashion Week. “The key is to balance all this growth by offering viable resources and opportunities for Nashville’s talent pool of designers, stylists, retailers, models, hair and makeup artists, and more. We need to continue to nurture the fashion community and economy that is homegrown and in our own backyard.”
Masulla grew up in St. Louis where she remembers “being a precocious little girl” who started sketching and styling her own dolls and requested a subscription to Vogue when she was eight years old. She studied Fashion History and Business at Parsons School of Design – The New School in New York City. Since then, she’s been a

stylist, fashion writer, organized closets, owned her own namesake boutique, managed a vintage/upcycled store, produced fashion shows and consulted and produced events for fashion brands.
She moved to Nashville in 2008 where she found the local fashion community to be warm and welcoming. She became involved, made connections and eventually pioneered Nashville Fashion Week (NFW), along with Connie Cathcart-Richardson and Mclaine Richardson.
NFW debuted in 2011 with a city-wide celebration of Nashville’s thriving fashion and retail community and its vast array of creative talent. Perhaps as a way of reciprocating for the way she was embraced by the local fashion community, Masulla and the volunteer-led organization introduced the Nashville Fashion Forward Fund (NFFF). As part of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT), the NFFF is an endowed fund that supports the next generation of fashion industry professionals with ties to Middle Tennessee.
The annual award is a financial grant intended for experiential professional development opportunities. Applications are accepted each year with the recipient selected “by a committee of the Community Foundation board, based on pre-established criteria inspired by the Council of Fashion Designers (CFDA)/ VOGUE Fashion Fund to advance the career of select local talent,” says Masulla.
“Applicants must first meet the criteria of having Middle Tennessee ties and then submit an outline of their brand and plan of how they intend to utilize the funds. With the NFS team being so connected to the community, we chose to have a panel of judges selected by the (CFMT) review the entries and select the recipient each year.” Masulla notes that, to avoid conflicts, NFFF members are not privy to the identities of those who serve on the selection committee as it is managed by the CFMT.
In July, Clarksville native and TSU graduate Rhea Daniels became the 12th Nashville Fashion Forward Fund recipient. Daniels is an entrepreneur who has worked for Nike in Portland, Oregon. Currently, she’s the founder and creative director for Papierdoll Factory, an online accessories boutique dedicated to blending avant-garde resort wear with cultural consciousness.
Daniels is from a military family and she plans to use her grant to take a class where she can learn how to obtain government contracts that will enable her to place her products in stores on military bases across the globe.

“I think this award is a catapult to the stratosphere,” says Daniels. “It’s giving me an opportunity to propel my brand forward and introducing me to people who can make that happen. Anthony Bourdain traveled the world and talked about food and the culture and the people behind it. Papierdoll does the same thing through creativity and fashion. Accessories are important to me because it’s how you make an outfit your own. I can tell you the story behind the accessory. When you can tell someone how an item is dyed and why they use that fabric, it sparks interest in other cultures. It’s a conversation starter and a way to bring people together.”
Daniels’ relationship with Nashville Fashion Week goes back several years. “We first met Rhea when she applied to be a vendor at one of our outdoor marketplaces,” says Masulla. “I can still recall her infectious energy and professional acumen when she showed up. I just had to scoop up one of her clutches for my personal closet. Over time, Rhea kept in touch and made the leap to apply for the NFFF. I’m so thrilled that she did. She is the epitome of all the good things that anyone would want to cheer. She’s a hardworking self-starter who is both kind and intelligent. She also happens to have a keen eye for both style and business opportunities.”

MEGAN MORONEYIS O K YA
THE AM I OKAY? SINGER GETS REAL ON HER SOPHOMORE ALBUM
ARTICLE BY MARIA DINOIA | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CECE DAWSON
“My style is very feminine and over the top. It’s girly and sparkly.”
Megan Moroney has been catapulted to country music "It" girl status with the release of her second album, Am I Okay? in July. It's been the fifth biggest country debut of 2024 and the year's third biggest debut from a female country artist. In fact, Moroney told Wall Street Journal reporter Neil Shah that "New listeners are learning that country music isn't just 'trucks, beer and girls'."
"Tennessee Orange" from her debut album, Lucky, was a top 30 hit on the Hot 100, and started the buzz about the emo cowgirl. And what exactly is it about Am I Okay? that has listeners and even the
press and media singing the 26-year-old's praises? Moroney says, "You definitely get to know me better as an artist and a songwriter. Lucky was a safe album. It was a great album to get to know me as an artist. But the songs on Am I Okay? are more personal. There are more topics of my life covered that are more vulnerable and honest. There's love and heartbreak and friendship and grief. It's just life and things that I've gone through, and I find a way to write about it."
And songwriting is Moroney's favorite part of the job. "I'm always writing songs.
“I’m always writing songs. Whether it’s on the bus, or at home, or if I’m supposed to be having a day off, I love to get with my co-writers and just write.”
Whether it's on the bus, or at home, or if I'm supposed to be having a day off, I love to get with my co-writers and just write. I am just inspired by real life experiences," she says.
"I think there were one or two songs I wasn't sure I could put on the album because they were so raw," she adds. "My producer {Sugarland's Kristian Bush} said to me, 'I think you're making that decision based off of fear and I don't like that'. Once he said that, I was like 'Screw it, we're putting these songs on the album' because whether they are right or wrong, that's how that situation made me feel. Songwriters may not always tell the story exactly how it went, but more so how it made us feel."
No doubt Moroney is feeling pretty okay. She's been called a "country keeper" by Variety, "demonstrated a natural ability for songwriting" by U.S. News & World Report and "honest and witty" by The New York Times, to name just a few "It was very cool to see some of the big press outlets speak highly of the album," she says. It feels good. And while I obviously very much appreciate it, I try not to focus on that stuff too much. I try not to put too much weight on other reviews. As a creator, art is subjective and to keep sane, you just have to believe in your art and put it out there. I make music so my fans can enjoy it. As long as my fans are happy, we're good."
In addition to all of the accolades, she just wrapped up a summer tour with Kenny Chesney, adding, "It's been the most fun tour. I've learned so much from Kenny as a performer and from his crew - they have touring down to a science. There are no mess ups. They have everything worked out perfectly. I grew up listening to Kenny Chesney and now Kenny is a friend and mentor to me and gives me advice. His whole crew and team are all amazing."
Moroney's style has taken on a life its own with her fans. "My style is very feminine and over the top," she says. It's girly and sparkly. I always have the same white boots on. Those are kinda my staple. And I usually have big hair. I love being over the top on stage."
'On stage' being the keywords. "My everyday style is more relaxed. I say songwriter Megan and stage Megan are the complete opposite. Songwriter Megan has on a camo set, hair in a bun and no makeup."
Inspired by fashionistas Dolly Parton and Kacey Musgraves (circa 2014), Moroney says, "My songs have sass and attitude, so when you're dressed feminine and girly, it always makes it more fun to sing. I took a few notes from Kacey Musgraves' Same Trailer Different Park album. When I went to see that tour and I saw how girly she was dressed, she could say some of those sassy things without it coming off as rude. And I love Dolly Parton and how over the top her outfits are."
Even Moroney's hair gets lots of attention. There are tutorials on Tik Tok from fans on how to get her hair look. "The younger me would straighten the crap out of my curls," she says. It took me growing up to appreciate it more. I feel like myself with my natural curl. And it's way easier to get ready."
The music industry is glad to have former accounting major Megan Moroney. She says, "I always loved music but it wasn't something I thought you could do as a career. My mom was an accountant so it made sense to me. Then I had the opportunity to open for Chase Rice and the only condition was that I wrote my own song. So when I wrote that first song for the show, I thought that was quite easy and therapeutic." And the rest is history.

GYM FASHION AND FUNCTIONALITY
When you’re looking to hit the gym, what you wear can play a big role in your mindset and performance. Orangetheory Spring Hill Studio Manager Katrina Huckerby, who as a dancer, comes from a world of both
“MY
what’s in right now. “I see the younger generations wearing the leggings and sports bras or t-shirts and shorts with the ankle socks and sneakers. That seems to be a younger thing. But as we get older, you want to feel more
BEST RECOMMENDATION
IS JUST TO WEAR WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH.”
fashion and peak athleticism knows this well. The lifelong dancer moved to Nashville a decade ago to join the Nashville ballet, but after an injury halted her career, she fell in love with the intensity of Orangetheory workouts. She began attending classes at the Franklin studio before working there and eventually going on to become the studio manager of Orangetheory Spring Hill.
In addition to her dance background, Huckerby once had a dance clothing company. She loves all things style and fashion when it comes to gym gear; however, she also knows that comfort and functionality are of utmost importance when selecting good workout attire.
“As far as trendy goes, everyone loves the monochromatic look, where you wear one color,” she explains about
comfortable in what you're wearing, so the whole t-shirts and shorts situation is more typical gym wear,” she says.
“My best recommendation is just to wear what you are comfortable with. A lot of people come in thinking, ‘I have to wear the leggings. I've got to wear the cute little tank tops.’ But if you're more comfortable wearing your gym shorts that are a looser fit and a t-shirt, go for it!”
She does recommend that if you’re focusing on form when lifting weights and want to be sure that you are moving with precision, form fitting clothing can be beneficial. “I personally prefer the more tighter-fitting clothing just because I can see my form and that's what I'm working on,” she says.
Fabric is also a big component of a comfortable gym outfit. Orangetheory carries its own line of Orangetheory
branded apparel including co-branded clothing items by Nike, Lululemon, Beyond Yoga, and Vuori. These items are available both on the website and in-studio in a variety of colors. “Anything at ShopOrangetheory.com or in-studio is going to be a quality gym-wear item,” she says. “Our clothing products range from cotton tees to spandex blends, which offer varying sweat-wicking properties and different levels of comfort. Ideally, you wear what fits you and what you feel comfortable in.”
Huckerby also suggests hang drying gym clothing to help maintain the shape and extend the life of your gym wear.
In addition to the clothes you wear in the gym, Huckerby stresses that your footwear is just as important. She suggests going to a footwear store to get custom-fitted for whatever type of exercise you’re focusing on, whether that be running, weightlifting, etc.
“We want you to wear shoes that are comfortable and supportive,” she says. "If you're a runner or want to become a runner, or if you are a power-walker, you want to wear a running shoe that has enough foam cushion and provides support for your feet and ankles. And you want to wear cute shoes, right!? If you love your shoes and they feel good, you're on the right track. If your focus is strength training, you're likely taking our Strength50 classes, so you'll want

“ANYTHING
a shoe that has less foam cushion, shoes that give you more stability and support so you can focus on improving your form while lifting."
When it comes to gym courtesy, Huckerby encourages gym-goers to prioritize good hygiene and wear clean clothes not only for their own performance but out of respect for those in the class as well. She also advises to not wear anything that is overly distracting to other gym-goers. "If it’s uncomfortable for you to wear and causes you to constantly be pulling at your clothing, it can be distracting to those around you, and we want every person in the studio to feel comfortable in their skin while getting out of their comfort zone in the workout."

How Ya Them Apples? Like
Despite September’s unpredictable sort-of-summer, sort-of fall weather, one thing that’s certain is the arrival of the first fall apple harvest. Fruit-bearing trees have reached their peak after the long summer blooming season. While we may have to wait to wear sweaters and cute boots with a pumpkin spice latte held fashionably in hand, crispy fall apples are ready for the picking now. Visit a local orchard and grab a bushel ready to bake into apple pies or toss into salads. Whip up a batch of these warm Snickerdoodle Caramel Apple Cookie Skillets that’ll have you drooling and dreaming of those crisp fall days just around the corner.
