Game Day Outfit: Garnet Suede Shift Dress

I love this time in the season when Danielle from Lou What Wear and I do our football "Game Day Showdown" collaboration! Normally we do a FSU vs Miami showdown, but we switched it up a bit this time. Since Louisville is now in the ACC conference and being that she lives there, she often attends the Cards games (Apparently, they have beer which would make me a Cards fan too. I hope my Kentucky Wildcat husband never reads that sentance.)

I love the brands we get to work with during this collab and this year we teamed up with The Mint Julep Boutique! They're got a ton of cute game day options, and even more just cute clothes! And even though we're going to be rivals this weekend, her outfit is SO cute. Make sure you hop on over there and take a peek!

Shoemint "Miller" mules (on sale!)

Sole Society necklace (from last year - try this one)

Moon and Lola "Eden" charm bracelets

Nuskin lipstick in "Cha Cha Red" (gifted)

Sometimes, I get to be comfy casual when watching the Florida State games. And other times, it's Saturday! Which means we have an event or a party to go to after the 4th quarter (or sometimes during the game. Eeeek!) So this was one of those "glam game day" outfits where I got to wear it for the game, but guess what? It doubles as just a regular outfit too! After all, aren't those versatile outfits the best anyways?

I'm REALLY into the suede look right now. It's so lush. This shift dress is so incredibly comfortable. I love the details on it like the suede-like material, laser cut out hem, and pockets! Plus, the fact that it's garnet/burgundy/oxblood/wine/whatever you want to call this color, it's probably going to get lots of use as we head into the Holiday season. Can't believe it's almost that time of year already!  

Don't forget to check out Danielle's Louisville Cardinals game day outfit (gimme that vest and those booties!) She's the best! Happy TGIF you guys!

Oh and Go Noles!

Game Day Outfit: Garnet and Gold Glam

There's nothing I love more than a good Florida State gameday outfit. But what's even better than that? A gameday blogger collaboration with my girl Danielle over at Lou What Wear!

You'll remember last year we each styled a baseball cap for the Florida State vs. Miami game. That challenge was a step out of my comfort zone, but so much fun to do. This year we teamed up with Moon and Lola for a more dainty approach and each styled their Acrylic State Pendant Necklace. It even has a heart or star cutout for you favorite city! How cute is that?

I'm in serious love with our necklaces! They're beyond perfect for a Gameday Outfit. With over 30 colors to choose from, you can rep your state and school pride in just the right shade. Then, choose your city's heart cut out (Tallahassee for me, Miami for Danielle). It's the perfect finishing touch whether you're watching a football game, attending a basketball tournament, or just want to shout it out the world that you love your school and state. Shop Moon and Lola's entire state collection here.

I love the way that Danielle styled hers. Don't forget to hop over to her blog to check out the full look. 

I'm really nervous about this game. We have definitely struggled all year and Miami always seems to be an intensely played game year after year. Let's hope my Seminoles can pull out the W (sorry D!)

It's going to be freezing today but I've been wanting to wear this dress so badly so I'm wearing it with some thick tights and my footwear of choice. Oh don't you worry - I'll be wearing a huge coat when going outdoors since the low tonight is in the... 20's!!! (ah!)

Game Day Outfit: Baseball Cap Glam

Today's post is a combination of 2 of my favorite things: A blogger collaboration and a game day outfit. I met Danielle last year at LuckyFABB/NYFW and we've been buds ever since. I love Danielle because she's witty, gorgeous, loves sports and so down to earth. Her posts are full of fun, fashion and humor. Plus she & I shared a love for PLL. So when she contacted me about a possible collaboration, she came up with the brilliant idea of a Game Day post showdown. You see, 1 flaw of hers (haha) is that she's a Miami Hurricanes fan, one of Florida State's biggest rivals. We play each other this weekend and it's a MAJOR game. We're both ranked in the top 10 and to say I'm stoked about it would a major understatement.

Danielle also challenged me to tackle The Baseball Cap trend, one that I've, frankly, been nervous to test out. So after you check out my outfit make sure you hop on over to Lou What Wear and check her look out (ummm she nailed it!)

Now this whole baseball cap thing is a major step out of my comfort zone. Don't get me wrong, I'm a sports-watching, beer-drinking, could even play video games kind of gal. But I love my sparkle... and my high heels.

I really wanted to have fun with this challenge and took some pointers from the gorgeous Samantha Ponder and fabulous bloggers like Cathy [Poor Little It Girl] & Christine [Hello Fashion Blog]. I stayed true to my style keeping my sky high heels and sparkly sweater in tow. To be honest, the hat gave my glam game day getup just the right amount of tomboy swag. I added on my fav GiGi uber clutch and some gold jewelry for girly flair.

It actually wasn't that hard since the State Traditions hats are really fabulous. It's a really simple design of the State's shape in your school's colors but it's an easy and stylish way to give your look that menswear punch. Plus.. they have about a bazillion options! You should also check out the cute selections for your guy like Game Day bow ties or Gingham plaid shirts.

Don't forget to check out Danielle's outfit... and Go Noles!!!
